  • Sounds like we have very similar body types except I'm 5'1 148 and wear 8/10. I too have large thighs and the "flat butt" syndrome, I've come to accept that over the years. I too feel like majority of my shirts show my fat rolls. However my best advice would be is find clothing that accents the characteristics you do like…
  • How many calories do you eat? How did you break your plateau? I'm having the same problem.
  • I can definitely agree I live in MO and its like that everywhere especially w/ my family. There are healthier options out there you just have to do your homework. Like others stated look up the nutritional facts online or on here and be prepared before you get to the restaurant. If you get a sandwich or a wrap at a fast…
  • Awesome job girl!!! You are too cute!!! I love your style! Don't worry about the half pound it will be gone before you know it. You look amazing and have come so far!! Enjoy your success! I bet you can think of a ton of NSV that have happened since Jan. that will make you say "screw you half pound!, I'm a rockstar!"
  • I got a Polar F4 back in May and I will admit I was shocked after my first few times using it. I attend a body pump class that usually last about 45 min. MFP said I was burning anywhere from 400-500 cal. per class. The instructor even agreed she thought it would be at least 400 cal. I was so excited to wear it to class…

  • Hey everyone!! I started 30 day shred on 6/12! I rested a few days in the process so I just completed day 8, level 1!!! I have seen a major improvement since day one! My biggest challenge have been the jumping jacks and push ups! I can now do all the jumping jacks and more pushups than before. Even though I love the…

  • I've been doing this since the beginning of Jan. & I used to be the "French Fry Queen"! For the first 3 months or so I swore to myself I wouldn't even touch a single fry b/c I knew it would ruin my entire diet! Much like how you feel w/ the peanut butter & mac&cheese.I had to prove to myself that I could actually live w/o…

  • A fun gadget out right now is a Fitbit. Its a device you can clip onto your clothing, pocket, etc. Its counts your steps, your distance, and how many calories you burn during the day and even at night if you where it then. It uses technology like the Wii. They run about $100 ,but seem to really worth it! Its completely…

  • Pictures really do show the truth!!! You look amazing!!! Keep up the good work!!!
  • Way to go on your success!!!! Major kudos!!! I'm just a little over 100 days and no where near my goal. For some crazy reason I'm fearful of not being able to maintain my weight once I get to that point. Just wondering if you have ran into any challenges in maintaining your weight? Any tips for the future???
  • Welcome MFP!!! I absolutely love this site, tools, and people!! It truly has changed my life! I've been logging since the beginning of Jan. I promise you I couldn't have lost 29 lbs w/o the help of MFP! Weight loss is an amazing journey and this site is a great place for motivation and support. Sounds like your sister is a…
  • Thanks so much for the advice! Very helpful!!
  • My main interest is finding out exactly how many calories I'm burning during my workouts. I like the idea of the fitbit and knowing all the additional info of steps, sleep, etc. ,but i don't know if it will work that well for workouts?
  • It sounds like you have an excellent start & I wish you the best of luck w/ your current goals! Once you reach those goals you will amaze yourself as to what else you can do. I was in a very similar situation as you I had lost about 20 lbs. a year ago doing weight watchers ,but eventually let myself go and gained all of it…
  • I know I'm a little late ,but I've been reading your post and I would absolutely LOVE to be in this club!!! I have been big all my life and I have never known what it was like to be "skinny". I was born 3 months premature and weighed 1lb 14 oz. so I started out very tiny and stayed pretty small until I was about 5 yrs. old…
