Just curious OP, where in FL?
-
No gall bladder here, no problems since having it removed in 2010. I ate pretty much as I do now, just bigger portions. I still eat whatever I want as long as it fits my calories and lifestyle. The doctor who removed mine blamed the stones on buildup of minerals during my two (healthy) pregnancies and nothing to do with…

Yes, exactly! No one carries a 36G. I had to go to ordering online and I've always been able to just go to Walmart or Kohls etc. before. Also, common theme seems to be with clothes, that they must be fake to be that big, but with such a smaller band size. So much stuff I can't wear in public and feel comfortable. Lol

5'8.5, not quite 5'9 LOL Weight:187 42-32-42 Bra is a 36G Last time I did my body fat %, it was at 29 and I weighed close to 220lbs. Size 14 in most stuff, 12 in others, 16 in some, to get it over my hips Goal weight is 175-ish, I started at 255 (and fun story, boobs didn't shrink AT. ALL. Count me disappointed). So, I…

Favorite meal on the go: Lenny & Larry's Snickerdoodle Protein Cookie and a banana, with coffee & half and half. Right at about 500 calories.

Aldi. I feed 4 people healthily for about $120 a week. One is a male teenager, one is a full grown man who does construction, one 8 year old girl softball player/gymnast and then me, the active hiker and swimmer. I LOVE Aldi! That does include toiletries, paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning and laundry stuff too. We also…

Thank you, I think I may drop it after the next 5. Probably to 1.5 at first and then to one after another 5lbs. I appreciate your input!
-
I can eat it sometimes (had some today actually) but most of the time I'm not into it LOL
-
Yeah, it's weird I know. Always been like that though for as long as I can remember. i'm a sleep first kinda girl I guess! LOL Thank you for your input, I wish you the same!
-
Never thought about adding it to coffee, that might be tasty. Do you know a good brand that blends well? I can't stand Muscle Milk, the one they have at LifeTime is pretty good but so expensive.
-
And yes, I do have a "sudden loss of appetite" when I'm exhausted. Because my body wants sleep more than food, which is why my stomach contracts and make me not want to eat. I do believe in the hierarchy of needs, sleep actually comes before food. We can't survive without sleep for less time than without food if I recall…
-
I think you may have taken "force" the wrong way, I simply meant make myself eat more, like you know, just eat. I definitely don't have any problems eating on a normal day. As I sit here with my queso and grilled meat with rice...and margarita. LOL
-
As far as fatigue, to be honest, that is a constant anyway. I have 2 kids, 5 dogs, 2 (out of the house) jobs and a custom cake business. I'm pretty much always tired. LOL
-
Well yes, that is possible. But unlikely over a couple months. Generally speaking, isn't that kind of deprivation something that is long term or very severe malnutrition? We are talking about 1500-2000 calories short a week (at most) here, not 5000k+.
-
Thank you, and yes for sure lifestyle changes, not dieting. I am definitely focusing on protein right now, and yes, I do intend to speak with a nutritionist about it. I don't want to get derailed by this after working so hard at it for the last year. Thank you for your support!
-
Yes, the increased weight loss is new, just started the job recently. I've been losing pretty much 1 to 2lbs max for the last year, a week at a time. But I'm not new to the weight loss itself. The calorie burn is coming from FITBit, not putting it in, so it definitely could be overestimating. As far as damage, just general…
-
LOL...honeymoon phase. If only. I've lost nearly 60lbs over the last year simply following CICO with a food scale and MFP. So no, very aware of my body and how it works. What made me heavy was eating too much and having a desk job where I didn't burn any of it off. I just started this job in the last 2 months so the…

5'8, started at 243 down to 195. Feel free to add me too!

Welcome and feel free to add me! Mom of 2 here also, 31 years old. :)
-
I've lost over 40lbs and boobs gained a cup size, (from 44DD to a 38DDD) so there is hope! But like everyone else said, it's genetics unfortunately. I did go down 3 band sizes though, which is a good thing. What I've always heard from my GP is that it depends on the glandular versus fatty tissue in your boobs. More…

Whatever fits in your calories and satisfies you is what you want to look for. Personally I love greek yogurt with local honey, honeycrisp apples with peanut butter, Merci Chocolates, Breyers Strawberry ice cream or homemade whipcream with strawberries and blueberries. Bananas with caramel toasted in a pan is amazing too…
-
Right at a 38lb difference...
-
The various diets "egg diet, cabbage diet, grapefruit diet" all paired of course with exercise and only eating 1200 calories but yeah, no it is totally the eggs making you lose the weight. SMDH
-
35lbs lighter, stronger, faster and happier...February 2016-January 1st 2017
-
Sent you a request, everyone else feel free to add me as well! We are all in this together after all! :)
-
Not new, but I would love to have more friends on here to encourage me towards losing my 2nd round of 20lbs! (Set my goal up in increments of 20lbs to make progress easier to achieve, 60lbs total is the actual goal.) Happy to encourage you too and share what works for me! Looking forward to adding you! :blush:
-
What are your calorie goals for the day?
-
@middlehaitch I only have it at 2lbs until I get out of this 60 day Challenge thingy I am doing for lifetime...I will be returning to 1-1.5 lbs after that. At this point I only have about 40lbs to lose but that is entirely subjective because I am also trying to gain muscle. Basically, when I am happy with the size and…

I'm 232 and in a size 16, but I am pretty tall.
