Oh that's so mean!

Can you take your gym bag with you? I try and do this, cause I know as soon as I get home, I won't want to change and go back out to the gym, but if you are able to go straight there and change, it makes making excuses a whole lot harder!

Shock absorber. I'm a 34DD, I run and spin a lot, and they have never ever let me down, almost no boob bounce at all!

To be able to fit back into some of the gorgeous clothes in my wardrobe! It's been too long!

I've got the same hair style as you, at the moment it's long enough in the front to be able to pull the front bits back into a little half-pony tail. Other times I will pull the front sections behind my ears and pin with two cirby grips which I criss cross over each other- criss crossing them def keeps them in place, those…

Not sure if they do them in the US but I use Shock Absorber sports bras. I'm a DD, I go spinning, running, weight lifting etc, and my boobs literally don't move an inch when wearing one, those babies are totally strapped down! Have a look to see if you can get them where you are, I usually don't recommend stuff but these…

I've been working night shifts this week and even though I've stopped off for a coffee, I have resisted my usual family sized bag of sweets/chocolate plus crisps and a snack bar that I would normally have. This is the reason why I'm the size I am and for so long it was a habit that if I couldn't get the garage before it…

Also try not to drink so much beer whilst working (though that sound amazing that you get to drink at work?!)

I'm not sure what a 'third shift' (never heard of that before) but I'm a police officer so I work shifts (five week rotation, days, nights, lates, days, nights and then late lates). Over the past couple of years I've put on about 20 pounds which I'm trying to shed. When I first joined shift I was dead skinny- I almost used…

I get a bit annoyed by the 'know it alls' on here, the one who just argue constantly with someone if the way they are doing something isn't the way they would do it. There's no harm in giving constructive criticism and guidance (esp if someone has taken on a diet or plan that is going to be really bad for them or its a fad…

Sounds good to me! I've got 14-20 pounds to lose (not a huge amount by some standards but to me it's a lot!) and could use some buddies on here!

Your brother's f Your brother's friend is a jacka$$! Hope you told him to go take a running jump! Lol

WHAT A DISGUSTING PERSON TO HAVE SAID SUCH TERRIBLE THINGS. :neutral: OP, I know that was merely a trigger not the 'cause', but always remind yourself that you're not going to lose that weight because some D-bag made some comment about being 'fit'. People will always find ways to undermine others, and even if you were 95…

What?! I am mad for you! How rude! I hope you punched the people that said that! It's amazing how much a remark from a stranger can hurt more than from friends or family

Keep plugging away at the job thing, it will happen for you one day! I always find things tend to follow each other- weight loss leads to feeling better, which leads to feeling more confident, which in turn leads to a great interview and then a great job!

Sexy is a state of mind, not a state of body! If you feel sexy, then you are sexy, doesn't matter what you look like or what people think! The confidence that shines through makes you sexy!

Okay thanks for the replies guys, that has helped!

I'm at about 168 pounds at the moment. And trust me, they were lucky they walked off otherwise I probably would have jumped out of the car and punched them! Lol

Wow you look great! You're clearly into your yoga etc, but do you do weights? Sometimes at the end of weight loss, when there isn't too much more weight to lose, hitting the weights can really make a difference, just by getting everything toned and trim. You really don't look like you need to lose anymore weight though,…

Wow this post just for a bit of light humor, I've definitely gone to the gym in some terrible work out outfits before (once managed to go through a whole spin class wearing leggings that were totally see through without realizing!) You have to agree though, wearing crocs on a treadmill is certainly not a very good idea…

Sorry didn't realise this was in the 'wrong' forum

LEGS! Though I want a booty so got to squat as much as I hate it!

Are you on Instagram? I'm a fairly confident gym person but I started following a few fitness people on there, and they post lots of how-to videos and pics of different exercises, and I've found it really helpful and have found new stuff to do as well (and it's all free too which is a bonus!)

It was that old classic moment of seeing a recent photograph of myself and going 'wow I look FAT!'

The problem with MFP is that is allows calories for a period of being awake based on an average day I.e. Seven til ten, but sometimes I am awake for 24 hours and eat accordingly so obviously MFP says I am going over my daily calorie allowance as it assumes people only consume cals during their waking hours. I want to log…

I have just started using this and sticking to my daily cal limit however a person would go mad being 'good' all the time so an indulgence I think is good for you! (Also you hear a lot of people talking about 'cheat days' where they eat want they want and then diet the rest of the time, there is some suggestion that it…
