That sadly it's hard to look through old photos without it becoming an exercise in "look how fat I used to be". It's nice to be at a healthy weight for the first time ever, but sometimes I would like to be able to look at those photos and just remember how fun that moment was or how wonderful it was to get to experience x,…

As I read this I heard a slow clap mounting to a standing ovation in my head. This is exactly the point of it all. If you can lose without weighing, great. But if not, weigh. Well done, internet stranger. Well done.

I wanted to sarcastically woo your post, then realized maybe that's too much nuance for a forum platform.

I second this motion. Unexpected downside of losing 50lbs? That losing the last 20 would be so hard! The more you lose the harder it is... I wish we lived on a planet where our body's biology rewarded us for getting healthier by just melting the last few away

Absolutely. I've decided to diet on what comes to 1500 cals a day. In order to get enough protein + micros I have to do some really silly things: I eat a Mango and a carrot every day for vitamins C and A, I have two bowls of fortified cereal for Iron and a Tums for calcium. There's not a lot of wiggle room in my daily cals…

"Don't cry, shopgirl" Name that movie ;-) Plus I'm always hungry.

That sounds amazing.... I'm drooling!

^^ This. I think this is the best answer yet. Quoting it in hopes you'll see it OP!

Hi there, This is the second thread you started on this topic. You got some really good replies on the first one, like "see a reproductive endocrinologist". Are you looking for a different answer than that? This is a very tricky health situation that affects you in myriad of ways, from your bones to your hormones, etc.…

It's posts like these that make me happy there's a Woo button.

The lemon cheesecake ones are my favorite Oreo thins. We've had coffee coke here in Asia for a while now but I read it will be making its way to the US this year. If you get a chance, try it, it's really good.

Wohoo! You look great.

Tagging @cmriverside on this who mentioned losing the last 20 on another thread that I didn't want to derail by asking him/her about it :D

I find it interesting that for a lot of people IF=skipping breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so when I IF I stop eating by 4, so I skip dinner and the eat-all-the-sweet-snacks-before-bed danger zone. Fasting between 4pm and 7ish the next morning works best for me. I love that I can feel very full midday,…

If you go to fitness blender dot com you can search their archives of workouts and choose the ones you want to do depending on the equipment you have, body part to train, etc. They also have a free calendar you can sign up for to plan your workouts using their videos. They have plans for sale, but all the plans do is…

Yesss the struggle is real. My husband is slightly freaked out that he can see my ribs for the first time but I'm still not even at the lower end of the bmi. Every lb I have left to lose is from my ribs down... First on, last off.

^^This. I've taken Levothyroxine for +10 years now. In that time I've gained weight, lost weight (50lbs) and have been maintaining. All while on the same dose. Turns out that the culprit for my weight gain wasn't that little pill I take in the am, it was all the food I was putting in my mouth the rest of the day ;-)

CHEESECAKE. CHEESECAKE. CHEESECAKE. CHEESECAKE. CHEESECAKE. CHEESECAKE. Sigh.

- The guy who sits on the bench behind me and stops his sets just to stare at my butt when I'm deadlifting. Dude, I can see you in the mirror. Stop it. - The guy who doesn't work at the gym but comes to fiddle with my squat machine while I'm using it because it makes a weird clicking sound (I think it's because I'm taller…

*Hugs* I get it, but still, congrats on being part of the small percentage of people who didn't just whine and moan, but actually did something about it!

Why not? It doesn't have to become the new defining proud moment of your life but most people consider it an achievement.

Annoying uncle on skype who I haven't seen since weight-loss: "Are you still skinny or have you gained it all back yet?" I was an overweight yo-yo dieter all my life before, so I understand where he's coming from, but yeah, it stung.

I had maintained a ~50lb loss for about 2 years. Then, going totally (and purposefully) ham wild over December meant I gained 8lbs that I've been struggling to lose since. I've been so bummed about those 8lbs for most of this year that it hardly even registered when I got a medica checkup done that my glucose levels were,…

Another vote here for a digital food scale. Everything else is a nice bonus to add down the road.

One missed class does not a slippery slope make.
