Looking for pregnant friends! Not trying to lose, obviously... Just watching what I eat but when this baby comes.... It's on! 4 months pregnant!

You look like a totally different person now. I'm sure it's fun to see people that didn't watch your transformation!

I started today too... tonight actually. I did ok I think. Mostly did the modified versions but I still had to stop seconds short on several of the sets. It will get better each day!

For real? :noway:

Losing 20-30 lbs of weight gave me two boys in less than 2 years after trying for more than 7 years!. Funny thing is when I get around 185-190 lbs, I end up pregnant! I am so hoping that doesn't happen this time as I would like to "enjoy it" for a while this time instead of getting big and pregnant again! Good Luck…

High five. Well done.

He got game. :love:

How bout being able to cross your legs comfortably or wrapping a regular size towel around you and nothing is showing! Those are mini milestones that most women (or men) could appreciate! :drinker:

Have to agree with the belt thing. I am on the up side of weight loss as of today, but remember a time when I had to punch a couple holes in that hard leather and look forward to doing that again real soon. (I am 13 days post op/pregnancy)

Losing weight will help tremendously! My bf and I were together for 7.5 yrs with no birth control and were not able to get pregnant. I questioned my abilities and his fertility for so long. Then I lost ~30 lbs and got that baby we wanted. Best of luck to you!

I sure wouldnt mind looking like you! You have the full package. Mad props to you!

Great job. I hope to be able to report some success very soon from increasing cals by about 300.

oh my geez... had to laugh at this.:laugh:

I have very few male friends (mostly cuz guys lose weight differently than women). BUT... I was reading some forums one day and this total hunk of burning love caught my eye and I friend requested him just so I could see his pics whenever I felt like it. He lives so far away, but if I was a single woman... sigh....

Creepy :huh:

Are you measuring yourself? As that is a better indicator at gauging progress than the scale.

I call this "Tuna Skillet (Okra and Corn)" I took the liberty of adding it to the database You will need: 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 4 cans albacore tuna, drained 1 cup frozen okra, sliced 1 can corn, drained 1 large onion, sliced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 of a lemon's juice…

Thank you for this post, as it has shed some new light on this very frustrating battle with the buldge.

I had a very similar 'friend'. One day I checked her diary and she ate 758 cals and burned 768. I was shocked, and since she was so new I tried to politely tell her that what she was doing was equivilant to not eating anything at all. She promptly msg me back and said HER DOCTOR SAID starvation mode was not a cocern for…

I just sent out a bunch of requests and added the ones that requested me. I think I missed a few... There are a lot, lol. So, if I missed you, just send me an invite and I will accept! :flowerforyou:

That is an awesome victory! I hope I can say the same in a few months!

I used the Scooby calc and came up with BMR: 1663, TDEE: 2578, TDEE-15%: 2191. I thought that I should set it at BMR and then just eat back cals. Is that right? I did that instead of the TDEE-15% bc I am not sure what to on my rest days... Do I still eat 2191? I also looked at the thread on what to expect and I am hoping I…

I actually just found that group and read the forum. It makes a lot of sense. And, I shamelessly was referring to that old BMI chart.... I was just using it as reference to infer my desire to be at a healthy weight. Thanks for your reply. I think I am going to try to do this... the right way. YIKES!

That is an awesome accomplishment. You could probably out run a bear!

:bigsmile: Thank you for all the motivational support. I will post more photos as the weight comes off

Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound, whether its fat, muscle, or water. Muscle is denser tho, taking up less space than fat. I suggest that you measure yourself, as that is a more accurate way to gauge your progress. Good luck to you!

Agree! :drinker:

My long term bf is 25 years older than me and we had a beautiful baby together last year. It is only an issue if you make it one. In the beginning, I spent a lot of time defending our relationship, but I got over that.

15 pounds in 2 months and I notice a diff in my back, my waist, and my boobs. Gotta take the good with the bad, I guess...

If you want cardio and strength, give jillian michaels' 30 day shred a try. It's 20 min and is very effective. I am currently doing it and I like it.
