I don't think TMI should apply to period talk - its refreshing to find someone so frank. Half of the world goes through it at some point, it's nice to be able to talk openly. Thanks for the tip on the IUD. I'm on the fence about it and it's really helpful to hear personal experiences!

Holy moly! Hot lady! You look fantastic, and YOUNGER! Woah! Checking out your blog now. Congratulations on the big life changes! Keep it up! XO!

me me!

Amazing progress! Holy moly. What a difference. You look much more "bikini body" in the second picture.

Great job! And so quick!

In for solid lifting advice.

Reading a bit of tenseness ITT. Perhaps everyone needs to take a nice long, hot bath in epsom salts and relaxxxx.......... Hehe. Also - to the OP - glad you had a nice bath. Nothing like a good soak for the soul! <3

You look amazing! And so happy in the later pictures!!! Great smile BTW! Beautiful!

You're sexy in both. Number 2 looks best. Woman love muscles. Always. How do YOU feel about #2? Is it realistic for you? Maintainable? Do YOU feel attractive?

I spy with my little eye.....A Foodie! Where do you get your recipes?

Hilarious and amazing! Great job!!!!

10-4. So far so good. I'm lifting with my partner. He's been doing the gym thing for years, and knows what he's doing. I get why people stress form so much now that I've actually started with the weights. It would be so easy to pull a muscle with the wrong movements.... And to everyone suggesting upping my calories, I will…

^Yeah, that comment from Arditatose made me pretty happy. I feel bad that I can only lift the bar, but at least it's something!

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I'm turning into a royal *kitten* lately when I get hungry too. Like, angry at EVERYTHING. Thanks to everyone for their input.

Add me too!!! I'm lonely on MFP for some good lady-losers. (Like weight loss losers....not loser losers....Phrasing..)

Oh that's awesome! Great job for powering through, especially the run that you hated!!!! When's your next race?

I think so. I ran it all past my GP and he said it's all good. And truthfully, my "heavy" isn't REAL heavy. I'm fairly weak. If I had to tweak my diet, how much would I have to up my calories? does it take a lot or would an extra 150 be enough?

Yeah, I think it's an old wives tale. If skin was that permeable, we'd be in trouble (think of all the crap we'd absorb through osmosis - a lotta chemcals floating around in our air). But I love adding it to my baths because it makes the water feel softer and silkier, and my skin feels nice after. Makes my bath feel a…

I'm in the process of helping my brother start his very first weigh-lifting plan. I'm a beginner myself when it comes to lifting weights, and we watch youtube videos and try to correct form between the two of us (with very basic, low weight exercises...gotta start somewhere). We use the gym in our apartment complex, and if…

Alberta, Canada! Neat to see so many people from all over!

Okay so first off - your life sounds interesting and fascinating and I really love that you live off the land so much! I bet you're getting all kinds of health benefits of homegrown foods and not eating chemical-laden pre-packaged stuff that can't be accurately documented by MFP! I'm going to echo what others have said -…

Can I join please?

This is a great goal/NSV. Mine is to get back to being able to run 5K.

Congrats on your sugars! I do low-ish carb/keto as well, please add away! I'd love more friends on here!

Such an inspirational thread. Thank you to everyone who's posting! Please keep it up! I'm not able to lift heavy - I had a back surgery in december and my doctor wants me to give it a full 18 months before I do free weight exercises - but this is getting me so pumped to start lifting weights once I'm able to!…

Wine. And Peanut butter. I'd never live without those two things. On the healthier side - eggs. Everyday. I'd be lost without them.

Oh, me too! Alberta! :-)

Congrats! I'm glad you're doing so well with it! I'm also doing a low carb diet and I love it. Let us know how the appointment goes! Just out of curiosity. I love a good low-carb success story!

Me three!!!!! Good luck girls!

Thats fantastic! Must feel so great to come back home and not see the scale bump up 4 lbs (thats usually me after my vacays). All your hard work paid off!
