I keep falling out of checking this thread but YES. I just shaved my legs and I feel so clean. I sometimes shave my arms but I hate the stubble that grows out, and it makes me feel dirtier. I have dense, dark body hair and sometimes I feel like I need to go get it professionally waxed. As it is, I epillate my legs. Hiya! I…

Ooh yeah that's about where I'm at. I'm 202 lbs and 5'1". I've been trying to lose for years haha. I lost 43 lbs in 2017 and have gained more than that back, although I'm back down 24 lbs from the 57 lbs in total I regained (from 212 to 169 to 226 lbs in the last 5 years). I had body dysphoria and body dysmorphia, which at…

Hi everyone. Thanks for joining the queer brigade lol I'm sorry it's been a while since I've checked in-- I've been busy with school and studies and my ever-confusing health. boldknee-- I'm excited for you! Nip that weight problem right in the bud. You can do it. Once you get up where I'm at, the losing feels hopeless at…

I'm not sure about my scale weight today but we're rolling with it. I'm gonna celebrate Onederland by going back to the pool today for laps. Let's face it, I was going anyway. If it's not official and if it was a fluke (as I'm worried about), I'll be down there very soon so I'm not that worried. Yes 6 lbs in a week is…

I forgot to update last week. I'm officially 20 lbs down from starting weight today, hopefully that keeps up tomorrow during weigh in. STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 220.8 lbs July 10, 2019 (Not my highest and I've been a member for years so this is just my most recent "start") CHALLENGE STARTING…

I really appreciate all the replies! This is what I was afraid of though haha. What kind of budget should I put toward my wardrobe? (General, not specific.) I’m a grad student, not working right now due to upcoming curricular internships and a large course load, so I’m basically broke. I do have some Nordstrom clothes that…

Me too, friend. I was in PT this year mainly because of my weight as well, and should have addressed other issues but didn't. I don't always do PT either, and my issues are coming back. The only things I can tell you are: be mad but don't stay mad; do the PT even if you know it hurts, as long as it's helping; be patient…

My miniest goal is Onederland at the beginning of October. I'm 206.4 lbs and maintaining again due to lack of caloric deficit. I haven't seen Onederland since 2017!!!

Heck yes! Every challenge I seem to join doesn't have a lot of traction so hopefully this one is engaging. My goals posted are goals for the first of every month so some of these are slightly fudged, but close enough. If I lose another 19 lbs that's nearly 40 lbs for the year.

Measuring and logging your food correctly is scary, I know. It's the biggest factor on why you're not losing weight, though. That and if you are actually counting calories or if you're doing some fad diet that doesn't count calories, in which case you could be overeating or eating to maintenance. If you use premeasured…

Holy crap. I think the longest I’ve swum was the 1650 yards in high school. But I guess I did upwards of 5-5.5k (yards) in a single practice some days, and that was 90-120 minutes. Long long long sets of 100’s and 200’s, let me tell you. I definitely want to work up to a mile or two in a single practice. That’s 1.6-3.2 km.…

I got demotivated last week with family and forgot yesterday. I’m still here but back to 208.6 lbs today/yesterday/the day before. No formal post but I guess I’m +0.2 lbs. Not recorded is that week of the 11th I made it down to 206 something lbs.

Hi guys! Glad to see she's not dead. I was out of town this week and not sticking strictly to any sort of diet or restrictions. Still, I finally broke out of last week's plateau. HSW: 226 on May 20th (July 14): 213.8 lbs (July 21st): 213 lbs (-0.8) (July 28th): 210 lbs (-3.0) (August 4th): 210 lbs (-0.0) (August 11th):…

Bread has got to be my ultimate weakness. Even though I do enjoy sweets too much, bread is something I like to indulge on too much sometimes. I found myself literally stuffing my pie hole with a potato bun the other day like Glenna and donuts from Horns.

Well I tried my best today. But I’m back at zero because I made it to 1900 cal. This is 100 cal more than I am going for.

HSW: 226 on May 20th (July 14): 213.8 lbs (July 21st): 213 lbs (-0.8) (July 28th): 210 lbs (-3.0) (August 4th): 210 lbs (-0.0) (August 11th): (August 18th): (August 25th): (September 1st): Challenge GW: 202 lbs UGW: 125 lbs Challenge loss to date: 3.8 lbs In an entire week I bounced between 209.2 and 210.6 lbs. I was in a…

I hit under 1800 yesterday but I just bartered with myself over my 1800 cal limit. At this point I'm not sure where I'm at because that 1,5 qt ice cream tub came out and I don't know what was left and I don't know what I ate. (I'm a wild card today because school is starting up soon and I already want to drop out.) I'm…

Day 9: Thurs 1672. I am up in weight but it’s a completely different time of day. I’ll update my tracked weight around noon to make it more accurate. My elevated mood has coincided with higher protein. Could there be correlation? Unlikely but it feels good to feel good ish.

Day 8: Wed 1768. I've been 209.2 3 of the last 4 days but I added protein to my diet yesterday so we'll see now.

I'm 5'1" going for 125 and then we'll see! I'd love more friends, especially us petites. Tall people just don't get how different (perhaps not more difficult but just different!) it is for us to lose weight and fit into clothes.

Day 7: Tue 1733. Edit: I erroneously logged two items and that brought me down to 1533 yesterday.

Well my comment on the amount of people affected was more toward the fact that people use that to dismiss us. But yeah, inconvenience is an issue too. And logistics. If they didn't install a third bathroom, do they mix each bathroom? Do they mix only the men, or the women? Other option, convert them to single stalls? In…

Yes and no. Like the user above said, 5-10 lbs is not a lot of calorie difference. If you're sticking to a strict calorie goal then it's worth the consideration. But 10 lb down for me only decreased my calorie goal by 30 calories. Not much of a difference especially when my calories fluctuate by day. You can keep an eye on…

I was wondering if there were any funny food combos you guys have encountered or discovered and tried (and perhaps enjoyed??) ? My own example would be putting berry flavored whipped cream cheese in a berry smoothie. Never would have pegged myself for putting "cheese" in a smoothie! It gave it a slight tang that I would…

I am not here to get in on the drama but I was watching this thread and I thought it was funny that what you suggested was pretty much my dinner today! (Close enough to for a resemblance but not exact.) And I guess I will comment that my HSW was 226 at 5'1" (154 cm) and even THAT was hard to just make the change. And yes…

@MadisonMolly2017 That's good to know! I think I'm going to keep my deficit irrelevant personally, only because upwards of 500-600 kcal deficit is perfect for me. Day 6: Mon 1728 and -77 kcal for exercise.

I think I answered this last year but that got me nowhere. My petty reason is I feel like the only 23-yo that wants to LOOK their age. I feel like I'm playing dress-up whenever I dress professionally because I feel like a clown in those tents.
