There's definitely a difference! You look amazing!

Amazing job! Very inspiring! Congrats on all your success :drinker:

Last year I was a size 16/18. Right now I run between a 10 and 12. I was a size 26W/28W in 2001.

I thought I had eaten WAYY too much this holiday, but, I weighed myself this morning and I had LOST a pound. That's a first for me. I usually gain, on average, 5 pounds during Thanksgiving.

LOL! Awesome! :drinker:

What an evil *****!!! I would have been arrested for assault if I heard that person say that. Hunny, don't let what she said hurt you. You are doing a great job, and you are changing your life for the better. That ***** will be nothing but a ****rag clerk. Some people have such low self-esteem that they have to rag on…

I'll be 29 next month...

Bump for later!

Hun, you've lost a TON of weight! That's an incredible accomplishment that you should be proud of, despite what any idiot doctor says. I do agree with heatherdills in regards to BMI. The BMI doesn't take into account body frame size. I have a large body frame, and if I went along with the biased BMI plan that's out there,…

I still feel fat. My highest weight was 240 (which was when I was in high school). I got down to 180-190 for a few years. Then up, then down. When I started losing weight this year, I was 190. When I started here I was 185. I'm 159.5 right now and I still feel like I did when I was 200 pounds. I'm less than 15 pounds away…

:laugh: Awesome!!

I have friends who say "hubby" in a jokingly way, but, it's only been a few times I've heard that term. I don't exactly have a personal opinion because I don't believe in marriage and don't plan on settling down and marrying. Personally, I just think we should be calling people by their REAL name instead of labels, like…

Welcome to My Fitness Pal! :-) I was obese from age 8 to 28, and was bullied out of my school because of my weight. I zig zagged with my weight through college, and after college, I gave up on losing weight. Everything I tried didn't work, and whenever I stopped losing weight, I gave up. In August of this year, my friend…

Brag away honey! You're doing a great job! :-) :drinker:

I weigh in on Sundays. As far as eating is concerned, I try not to eat after 7pm. On Tuesdays, I work until 7pm, so I end up eating between 7:30 and 8:30.

I got diagnosed with Celiac about 3 weeks ago, and I did have some skin issues recently. Not sure if celiac and skin issues are related, but, I drank more water, and used lots of moisturizing lotion and the problem is starting to go away. Definitely check with your doctor.

"Sodium is the devil." "Holy crap I fit in a size 10!!" "I'm 15 pounds away from my ultimate goal." \ "I'm not obese anymore!" *response to an offering of pizza and nachos:* "No thanks, I don't have enough calories, protein, fat, sodium, and carbs to spare, plus I have celiac disease." "This medium is too big on me." "I…

10 years ago, I was a size 26W/28W. When I started MFP in August, I was a size 16. Right now I'm a 10/12, though the 12s are pretty baggy on me now.

^^this! I have the same issue with having belly fat. As long as you keep up with the strength, cardio, and diet, your stomach should get smaller. It doesn't happen overnight (I wish it did because I hate my muffin top), but the thing I keep in mind is that as long as I'm doing what I have to do to lose weight, I will lose…

I'd weigh 149.5 lbs in 5 weeks...It would be nice to be in the 140s in 5 weeks. My ultimate goal is 145.

I'd like to join too. I'm currently at 161.5, and my goal is 150. I also have an ultimate goal of 145. I'm soooo close, and it's getting harder to get rid of these last few pounds. I'm glad there's a support group for this!

My chesticles shrunk a few inches...I'm happy with the decrease!

My HW was 240. My SW was 185.

We're getting half a foot of snow here too. I was wondering the same thing about shoveling snow, and calories burnt. It's way too early for snow to be falling in this area of the country.

This is exactly how I feel! This site is a godsend. It has changed my life! I tried so many diets and nothing worked, then I find this site, and am 12.5 pounds away from my goal. I've lost more weight, and gained more self-esteem and confidence than I ever have had in my whole life. I even told my doctor about this site,…

bmr is 1443

That's what's infuriating about this disease. I have a demanding job Mon-Fri, I just barely have time to exercise, and now I have to worry about this disease. Also having to fit in time to make things from scratch is also stressful. Going grocery shopping is just depressing. I look at all the food I used to eat, and now I…

I was diagnosed last Friday, and for the past few days, I wasn't eating enough. Since yesterday I been eating at the increased calories level.
