According to Kellymom so long as your supply is going strong then two months is a good benchmark. Here’s the link https://kellymom.com/nutrition/mothers-diet/mom-weightloss/

Haven't thought of logging it to a spreadsheet. Genius! B)

Body dysmorphia- it's real and it can also be dangerous. I think it can be helped but probably never completely goes away. I wish there was a cure to make us see who we really are unfortunately there is not just know you are not alone. There are several of us here who struggle with the person looking back at us. The key is…

It's very scary to me how easily someone can put together a "diet" and sell it. Tbh last time I was on a 500 calorie diet I was 14 and anorexic meaning it is by no means sustainable or healthy. It's not a good way to lose the weight at all. It puts your body through some rough times. Please don't put your body through this.

I really don't use machines. I only use free weights/heavy weights. I see people using machines though. I did a quick google search and found the following article that discusses which machines to start with: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beginner_weight_training.htm TBH I literally started with two 8lb weights and…

I've always heard you cannot spot reduce but please take it from a former cardio queen-start lifting weights. My body changed entirely- I went from "thick" to "skinny-fat" with cardio then from "skinny-fat" to tone and strong (not "bulky" as some women fear) from lifting ! I cannot stress the weights enough :blush:

You look amazing!! 40lbs in essentially 15 weeks! Wow good for you :) Keep it up

Cocoa butter and bio oil. Only downside you have to be religious with applying it like 5 times a day.

@Iron_Mommy can you share the almond butter fudge recipe? Sounds yummy!!

Totally agree!! I do the same @Iron_Mommy . Bottom line- do what works for you :)

It's genetics and all how your body stores fat.

I'm 5,6 and my thighs jiggle at 135lbs and my thighs jiggle at 118lbs. Thank you Nana

cutting your soda intake will save you 1000 cals alone. Cutting ranch (shutter) will save you 280 cals and cutting the syrup will save 200 cals. Nearly 1500 in some very simple ways. Maybe 1200 is too little or maybe its good either way good for you for being honest with yourself and I am happy you made it through day one…

No HYE been rescued? (emergency responders)[/quote] yea, it was awkward HYE had to rescue someone? [/quote] Yes HYE seen someone give birth?

[/quote] yup, and it was gross and I did not finish HYE eaten a whole bag of chips on your own in one sitting? [/quote] No HYE been rescued? (emergency responders)

It gets taken a little too personal, IMO. But as others have suggested google is your friend or check out the recipes section on MFP. :)

I saw your goal as 50lbs to lose so 7 1/2lbs is a good start in such a short period (15% of your goal reached) so dont get discouraged. Perhaps another 3 weeks will do the trick and you will notice some difference. Just don't stop cause you're not seeing the results you want to see just yet. You can absolutely do this :)

Vitamin D cause I'm deficient

Because she wore make up to the gym and flung glitter in my mouth while running :p

Woah. Pass, dance, date, marry and now add kidnapped to the list!!! >:)

And introduce you to grandma

Yes! Simply and pleasantly yes. Not only is it a Workout itself but added confidence , more energy, and knowing that person can't get enough of you ;)

Haha!!! All I wanted was you to wear red lipstick and let me have 6 cats.

3 yrs younger and 12 yrs older. Maturity is the real issue here obviously.

She didn't want to get serious because of my adoration for Taylor swift
