I make tasty dishes from all over the world. I’m easily bored so I have to change my meal every week. I just made this easy meal today, lemon grass basil shrimp stir fry. https://www.thefreshmarket.com/inspiration/recipe-and-ideas/lemongrass-basil-shrimp-stir-fry

Fashion NSV. Victorias Secret is having it’s Semi-annual sale. I picked up some good bras but the real NSV, I tried some medium size lingerie on sale and ALL were big. The smaller sizes fit. This is a surprise since my go to size for decades for lingerie was medium. #Progress!

I haven’t lost any pounds since April 1st, just losing and gaining the same 2 pounds, but somehow all my coworkers swear I’m disappearing. I have a coworker who is very small and petite( 5ft and 115lb ish) . She thinks I’m getting closer to her size. I’m 5’2” 138lb. Anyway everyone else is seeing changes that I don’t see…

Same here. My Garmin vivotif watch is set to 12,000 steps a day/7 days a week. I read somewhere for weight loss the target should be 12k. For cardiovascular health the target should be 10k. I average 15k-16k on weekdays and 12-13k on weekends. Since I’m short (5’2”) with a low BMR and TDEE, I can eat more calories with all…

I’m really enjoying the perks of weight loss. I’m at the mall shopping and this young man walks up to me to ask me on a date. He looked so young! I asked him how old he was and how old did he think I was? He responded that he is 25 y/o and he thought I was 27y/o. He was shocked when I told him I was 35! I told him I was…

This freezing all time thing is just annoying. It’s 80 degrees outside, after 10 minutes of turning on the AC i have to turn it off or wear a sweater. I’m still using my mini space heater at work. I really lost some good insulation with all that fat gone. On the plus side my self confidence is on a whole new level! I’ve…

Good question. Before my weight loss journey: Food scale I think it cost $15 5 years ago. I just started using it in 2017. I had a digital bathroom scale I purchased close to a decade ago, that cost I think $25. I bought an AirFryer in 2016 before I started losing weight for $110 which I also use religiously now. I bought…

1. 37 lbs ( 3lbs remainig to reach a normal BMI) 2. 14 months ( i'm 5'2" i'm taking it slow. I like to eat and I don't want loose skin either) 3. Not there yet but i should be by end of this year. 4. Failure is not an option mindset. Self-accountability, honest logging of my meals and counting steps through daily walking (…

Very exciting NSVs this morning. :) I just noticed my lower stomach pouch is reducing! The best part, today is the start of my TOM and usually I’m bloated but nope! I thought I would have to do some serious weight training to get rid of the pouch but it’s slowly coming off on its on with continuous caloric deficit and…

I stopped paying attention to how many days I have been logging my meals when I reached my 1 year CICOversary. I just noticed today I have logged my meals for the past 501 days. Look at all that dedication B) . It’s amazing what the mind is capable of when you insist on achieving your goal and failure is not an option. You…

Hello fellow Pear. I'm a short pear myself and I love fashion. Resources that have worked for me, Google image search, Pinterest and YouTube Fashion videos. I seach for YouTube fashionistas with similar body shape to mine and their Try-on haul videos. I'm more of an extreme pear with a waist to hip ratio of 0.61. You are…

Update As of this morning I already lost 3 out of the 4 pounds I gained last week. I assumed it will take a week but I guess my body was ready to get rid of all that water weight asap. I had a big “swoosh” - peeing like crazy.

My NSV: Not freaking out that I gained 4 pounds in 1 week and trusting the process of CI/CO Backstory: So this week at my job we had multiple conferences and retreats. I ate probably up to 2000 calories on some days( 500-600 more than my target). I treated this week as if I was on vacation. I also walked on averaged 18,000…

I’m 5’1.5” (2). Started at 175lb currently 138lb. It’s been 1 year 4 months. MFP recommends 1290 cal for 1 pound a week with light activity. I’m guessing it wil be 1200 calories for 2lbs. Since I like to eat I’m okay with losing at a slow rate of 0.5lb a week or less. I eat between 1400-1500. If I walk 20,000k steps I eat…

Losing weight is definitely teaching me about the power and reward of patience. I had none. Its been over a year and I haven’t given up. it’s a rewarding experience watching the visible changes of my body as I slowly lose the weight and doing it the right way. Anyone else still amazed at the reality that they are actually…

Hey Op I’m 5’2” I started at 175lb I’m now 138lb my first goal is 135 for a normal BMI and final goal is 125lb. My goal is 0.5lb-1 a week since I only have few pounds remaining. MFP set a goal of 1290cals for 1lb and I think 1450cals for 0.5lb. I actually eat on average 1400-1500cals. I’m able to get some calories(…

I started developing hip bursitis from the repetitive hip movement with walking every single day 7 days a week. I even had discomfort with sleep. I took Advil or Tylenol for the discomfort and did some hip exercises. YouTube has some great stretching videos assuming it’s a hip bursitis issues from excessive use, try the…

Well another shopping NSV. I enjoy walking inside the mall when it’s cold outside to get my steps. It wasn’t my plan to buy anything but I couldn’t resist. I don’t buy rompers because I’m convinced they look awful on me and my pear shape but I like the look for the summer. Well I have 2 NSVs. I bought my first well fitted…

1st goal 135( getting closer hopelly by mid June) 2nd goal 125 hopefully in the 120’s by December 5’2”

I’m 3-4 pounds from a normal BMI, I lost 37lbs. So far the only negative is all the money I have to spend to replace my clothes that are big. I have more shopping options and it’s insane. Everything fits. I’m trying not to become a shopaholic since i love fashion. But this time around I’m shopping out of the clearance rack…

So I’ve been slowly purging my closet removing some cloths that are big. I just got rid of 80% of my skirts. Some of them still had tags and some I had already altered them to fit me but now they are all big. I’ve had these skirts for over half a decade. The few that are left have also been altered to fit me. I’m still…

Mini NSV, I wore shorts and for the first time I actually liked how it looked on me. Every time I attempt to wear shorts, I felt it didn’t look right on me especially since I have wide hips and big thighs. Also, I just didn’t like how my legs looked in shorts since I store most of my fat in my lower body. I rarely wear…

I think whether or not you keep your cup size while losing is based on genetics. When I started losing weight my bust measurement at fullest point was 36inches. As of today I’m 33-33.5 inches and my under bust is 27/28in I have very broad shoulders that extend to my upper chest and armpits. So it may look as if my cup size…

I'm not asking for much, just two tiny little goals. Lose 3 pounds by June 1st to reach a normal BMI of 24.7 for the first time in my adult life. My current BMI is 25.2. Goal #2 is to reduce my hips from 42.3inches to 40 inches. Then celebrate the week of my birthday in June.

Food scale and counting calories. You have to be honest with yourself when you track your intake. Don't rely just on your scale, take body measurements and lots of photos. No more excuses why you can't lose weight, just do it. If you want it bad enough you'll make time for it. Set realistic weight loss expectations. It…

Technically both morning and after work and also during work( lunch break). I don't go to the gym I walk ( jog or march in place) and count steps. I try to get 2000 steps before I leave my home for work. I get to work 30-40 minutes early. So I walk an additional 3000-3500 steps before I start working. Then during my 1 hour…

Another swimsuit NSV. I decided to try on my 2 piece bikinis since I lost about 1/2 inch from my hips. I had bought some 2 piece sets at the end of the summer and during the winter because they are on clearance during that time. They all fit pretty good but still a little snug around the hips. So I thought by this summer…

As I’m getting smaller I am just loving my body. I’m looking better and better even with my minor flaws. I know it sounds vain but I love looking at myself in the mirror. I know it’s not practical but if i could I would wear lingerie all day in my home. All the Victoria’ssecret lingerie I purchased in the past, that were…

Update 4/1/18: 138 (-1lb)
