I eat between 1000-1200 calories per day. I don't do too much exercising, but I do a little Zumba maybe once or twice a week.

I hope this works! Before After

I hope this doesn't double post. lol Before After

I'll try to upload my photos to a different hosting site. Sorry, guys!! Apparently, Photobucket decided to charge $399 to link to 3rd party sites the day after I posted this. That's pretty lame!

Took me about 2.5 months to lose 30 lbs, but I started at 190 at 5'2". I'm now down to 144, and it's taken around 6 months total to lose 46 lbs total. Things DEFINITELY slow down the closer you get to your goal.

I don't even understand the point that's trying to be made anymore. Everyone acknowledges Ashley Graham is overweight, especially Ashley Graham. Is she still curvy? Of course. Can she still be beautiful? Aboslutely. So what's the point? I don't think anyone has used her as a perfect example of health and fitness.

Started 6 months ago and have lost about 48 lbs so far. 25 more to go.

If I could live off beer and cheese, I would. Beer cheese soup is pretty much the best thing ever...second only to beer battered cheese curds. (Wow, you can really tell I live in Wisconsin lol)

I was reminded of that thread as well, especially when people are discussing whether Ashley Graham is even attractive or not.

Curvy is just descriptor of a shape. Words are not the main problem contributing to the weight issues in the US and other countries. Rarely, and I mean SUPER rarely, are people calling themselves "curvy" out of denial. People can call themselves anything they want, and it's not my business to tell them they're viewing…

Nothing wrong with a little mayo although there are some substitutions. I just got some mayo made with avacado oil, and it's really good. Just measure out how much you're using to make sure you're counting the calories correctly.

Even if it sits weird with you or makes you feel odd, just try to take it as a compliment and understand they're just trying to be friendly and encouraging - even if you don't need it. I'm sure it has zero to do with you looking like you're struggling or anything of the sort. They probably say it to every single person…

Exactly

Only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. And sometimes Fridays. And the occasional Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday. And rare Thursdays. But not often.

I've lost 48 lbs just counting calories and not doing any specific diet. (Yeah, I know, that's not 60, but I just started in January).

I just got an air fryer, and it's pretty awesome! Crunchy onion rings with no oil? Yes, please! I even made "fried" pickles the other day. Mmmmm!

Depending on how insecure you are about it, there's a few things you could do if you get to a point where you have no weight left to lose and you still aren't happy. There's something called Vanquish and it uses radio waves to reduce fat cells and it also tightens the skin. You could always go in for a free consultation.…

First picture is from January and the second picture is from Yesterday. 45 pounds down so far, but I definitely see a difference in my face.

Not sure how you feel about vaping, but there's thousands of flavors: fruits, desserts, baked goods etc. and it can help with cravings or help if you have an oral fixation after ditching the lozenges. Although I'm not sure if it would trigger your smoking habit again, but I know a lot of people who have quit smoking,…

One of my friends on Facebook recently asked how she can lose some weight, and I suggested MFP and counting her calories. The next comment 30 second later was literally "Don't count calories!! That doesn't work! Just eat healthier". My response to that was, "I gained 30 lbs on healthy foods. You can overeat on anything.…

Talking to someone about their weight issues isn't inspiring to them and rarely helps the issue. I went from a size zero to a size 15 in 6 years. I'm sure my husband preferred me at my lower weight. But even as I was gaining weight, he told me I was beautiful. I got up to 189 at the beginning of this year, he still said I…

You're doing AMAZING and you look fabulous!! You look so much happier, too. Great work!

I just posted them in the other pet thread. lol I have 17 pets, so I won't post them all again. I have: a 13 year old Boston/pug mix a cat 3 guinea pigs 2 chinchillas 8 mice 2 siberian chipmunks Here's some of my mice:

I work from home, so I have plenty of time to take care of them. Most of them are super easy to care for though.

I won't bore you with photos of every single one of them, but I have 17 pets: a Boston/pug mix - Lola, she's 13 and my baby a cat 3 guinea pigs 2 chinchillas 8 mice 2 Siberian chipmunks

I have a lifesize raptor statue in my bedroom, I have 15 pets, and nothing about me is normal. I prefer "quirky" but "weird" also fits.
