5'10" here! At my highest I was 260 and was stuffing myself into 20s. I carry my weight in my hips so for a long time I didn't drop a size at all. At one point I lost 30lbs in 3 months, really busting my butt, and I didn't go down a size in anything. So disappointing. I was in an 18 all the way between 245 and 200 ish.…

Skillet sweet potatoes and 2 eggs. Yum yum!

1. Own your story 2. Don't mind read other people, it's usually your own insecurities reflected back 3. Trust the person you're with to honor your life story 4. You didn't go from "unworthy" to "worthy" by losing weight. You made a change. Tell that feeling of embarrassment to eff off and be proud of yourself. Others will…

I like jasmine rice with green onions and an egg for breakfast. sometimes with turkey bacon too. It's quick if you make the rice a day before.

I usually don't do well with just having one end goal, it ends up feeling far away and I stress out about it. In the last (almost) 14 weeks i've set little tiny goals to aim for. My first was 199 by july 4th just because it fell at a good time to hit that number (hit that day at 197.4, wee!) After hitting that, I set loose…

It helps me to look at long term patterns. I always get a little bummed when my period hits because it can take me 2 weeks some months to get back to losing again. I don't gain usually, but it just sits there, mocking me :) Looking at my average over the last 13 weeks though, even with monthly hiccups like that, I average…

normally I don't gain weight with my period, right before I start my weight loss will stop completely, and not move again for anywhere from a week to 2 weeks. However this last one was different, I kept losing up until the day after I started, then gained 3-4lbs around the 3rd and 4th day, then lost it all again 2 days…

I keep jasmine rice and cooked chicken quarters in the fridge at all times. I can usually half-cook something decent using them, or just shred up some chicken in a corn tortilla with some salsa verde.

I recognize feeling full differently since I changed how and what I eat. There's "ah thats better, don't feel hungry anymore", then there's "yup i'm done now, for reals" and lastly there's "oh god i've made a terrible mistake". The trouble is a lot of us think that last one is what "full" means.

That's awesome! I'd attempt it, but only if they weren't around to see me get stuck :)

I know the feeling girl, looking back over my life I always ended up dating skinny boys that could eat whatever they wanted. I could technically wear their hoodies if I wanted to, but I've got those damn child-bearing hips, and it just looked weird on me. No room for boobs and hips in boy clothes.

THAT has been another huge nsv for me. I could only buy stupid expensive bras at lane bryant. Technically VS had my size but they didn't have the support and would usually fall apart after a while. Usually my chest is the last place I lose, but this time around i've lost 5 inches off my boobs in under 3 months. I recently…

I don't notice much of an appetite change, other than I need to eat more often. Like today (which is day 3 of TOM for me) pretty much the moment I woke up my stomach was growling. Usually I can wait and get some stuff done before I feel the need to go make breakfast, and today it was the very first thing I did. I used to…

I quit smoking cigarettes 5 years ago by switching to my ecig which I still use, and just slowly bumped down the nicotine level over time. So I never had to give up my obsession with sticking a cigarette in my mouth and fighting to not replace that action with food or gum or whatever. I'm preparing myself to give it up all…

I FELT better 3 or 4 days into changing how I ate. I FELT amazing a week after that. Actually noticing any physical changes? Hm.. About a month? I wear yoga pants and scrubs to work, so I wasn't in the habit of noticing when my normal clothes fit differently since don't wear them every day. First thing I noticed was my hip…

Nah just go steal someones clothes, same thing

i'm on my 13th week, and I lost the most inches in the first 8 weeks or so. they've barely budged since, though my weight is still dropping at a consistent rate. Also this time around i'm dropping massive inches from my chest (4 pretty quickly, 5 all together) usually when I lose weight that's the last place to let go. I…

yay tall people! 5'10" and some change 188 40/31/44 Lost 23lbs since May 21st, though mfp measures from my weight sometime last year so it shows higher, over 70lbs lost since highest weight.

yup. I recently had a week where murphy's law hit me hard. 2 deaths, one friend one family, my grandmother's health took a bad turn, and I had a crazy intense headache for about 5 days (today's like, day 9 and it still twinges). Just stress. I'm not a stress eater, I sit inside my own head and don't want to do anything,…

Depends on the cycles for me. I have what I refer to as a "jerk ovary". Every other month, my period bizarre, with spotting a whole week before, then lasting up to 9 days. So my first month of eating healthy, I continually lost during my period. Not a lot, but it went down every day. The next month (jerk ovary) I was stuck…

Hoo boy...there's two big ones that come to mind. First bad guy was a dentist when I was a kid. In a period of about a year or 2 he drilled every single tooth in my head except the bottom 4, and over drilled them so that there wasn't enough tooth integrity to hold the fillings, and over time they all fell out. When I was…

Open diary but be warned there are a lot of foods i dont eat at all so it might seem boring to some.

well, my wedding dress is too big now. Glad I bought it cheap from a dress maker on etsy. So no dress in mind, but I am aiming for our honeymoon trip (which we never got a chance to take because I had surgery right after our wedding) as a "goal" to aim for, and there might be a pretty dress in there somewhere.

the first 3 weeks or so that i'm losing, I lose consistantly. After that, there are times that I stay the exact same weight (or a pound or two higher) for 2 weeks, then drop 3lbs in 3days, and that pattern is pretty constant. When you find that pattern over several months it's easier to not be as discouraged by not seeing…

I did low carb back in the day, lost 32lbs in about 4-5 months. I was also drinking my water, eating my veggies, and working out. It also wasn't sustainable for me at the time, whether it was me or life or whatever, I eventually stopped and gained it all back. Many times after that too. I finally decided it wasn't my…

F/30/5"10" HW265 SW225 CW193 GW170 23lbs till "goal", but I really have no idea, just a nice round number. I've lost 72 since my highest weight (holy crap is that right? I've never calculated that!) but that feels like a fake accomplishment, since that was many years ago and about 40-50 of that came off just from my life…

My job is physical and sweaty, and if I injure my body (or even cut my hand) I can't work, and therefore can't make money. I worry more about getting enough sleep and stress reduction. In the morning I refuse to use an alarm clock so I wake up anywhere between 7-10am (I work afternoons/evenings) I do whatever physical…

ankle reconstruction last summer, was out of work 4 months because my job is physical, exactly 30 days stuck on my back with my ankle elevated above my heart 23 hours a day. Absolutely brutal psychologically to be forced into being so sedentary. No real plan to speak of, I lost the fist 10lbs right after surgery, mostly…

5'10" 193lb female, I'm about 40"/31"/44". Broadly speaking i'm in a 16 in pants, 14 in dresses and med/large in shirts, but as others have said it depends on the brand.

5'10", I'm 30, Highest around 260 years ago, half assed it last summer from 225 down to 203, got lazy, gained back, started most recently 2 months ago at 211, sitting at 193 now, not aiming for any weight in particular but want to at least be out of the 180s before the end of october (big trip w/ the husband booked).
