It is impossible to convert fat to muscle. And muscle doesn't weigh more - it is DENSER than fat.

You don't have to wait until a certain weight in order to express yourself through style. I think you did your hair and makeup very well. This look suits you.

I believe it was 117-120.

Don't binge, and don't create a "binge-food list" because it only reinforces the bad habit. Control your portions.

Congratulations! You have made great progress.

Danny lives on MFP no more. Lol.

Jenna Jameson is, indeed, degrading herself. What a lowly way to make money, and what a shameful career she has built. Selling yourself for money is degrading, shameful decision indeed.

Prostitution should be illegal. Though this may be a bit of an exaggeration, I don't think it is wise to use prostitution as a potential boost to the economy. What if prostitution happens to grow? Then the United States would have an economy supported by prostitution, which is a complete degradation of women (or men). For…

I avoid asparagus simply because I do not like the taste.

Sooooo...YOU EAT MORE.

How much did you approximately eat before the start of your "weight loss journey"? According to your profile, you have been here since June, and have only lost 5 pounds. Obviously this is not working out for you. Eat more. I suggest 1000-1200, for a start.

It may improve posture. But personally, I want to get to the point where I do not need to suck in my stomach.

There is no guarantee. I wouldn't be too concerned about the speed of your weight loss, though. Just focus on eating healthily and exercising.

Eat, girl. Is one day going to derail your weight loss? No. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Yes. You can only lose weight at a caloric deficit. But you should not be severely under your calorie goal (I'm assuming it's 1200).

No.

How much under?

Cute clothes, they'll be perfect for the Spring. I think the clothes will look great on you!

No. The number on the scale and the feeling of accomplishment is enough for me. And besides, there is no greater award than good health! Every moment you live healthily, you are rewarding yourself. I don't need material goods as a source of motivation. But, to be honest, I can't wait to fit into my old clothes.

Would you rather NOT gain the 6 pounds but suffer from dehydration?

Of course you should eat more if you are nursing! And consuming more calories doesn't necessarily mean it is unhealthy.

calories consumed - calories burned from exercise = net calories.

What is extersize? You mean exercise, right? Anyway, running burns quite a lot of calories, as the elliptical. I suggest some weight training as well.

Who cares about what guys like? What would YOU like for yourself?

I daresay you were.

Nice job, what a difference a month makes!

My own, but 10-15 pounds less.

TDEE: The amount of calories you burn in a day. Don't confuse with BMR (basal metabolic rate). http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html

The smaller you are, the harder it is to lose because of a lower TDEE. If you have a small frame, like me, 2 pounds does make a noticeable difference.
