New Ipswich, NH... Small little country town...

I need this, I've been stalled out for 3 months...or on Maintainence lol

Hi all, I'm 5'3 and currently weigh 148.2. I started our at 175.4 and my goal is around 140 pds, which I think looks good on me as I lose a lot of weight in my face. Looking forward to toning up and feeling good.

I have the same Chiari Malformation but have not had surgery. I hope that the healing has been favorable and that life is a new normal for you. I've had most of the symptoms you've mentioned but was told that its not worth the surgery by the doctor. Glad that things are going well for you.

What is your height and weight in your first pic? Just wondering as I look similar, just heavier legs...

I hope and pray that I can keep it going, would love to hit goals with my family :)

It says I'm 5% smaller than I saw on here....not sure if that feels true though.

Good Job! I love those NSV'S!

Has anyone ever told you that you look like a brunette Michelle WIlliams?

An automobile tire!! Makes me want to put one around my waist and see what it feels like with that weight again, motivation baby!

You know you watch to much Duck Dynasty when you know what the topic is referencing lol. Good job so far!

BTW, my picture are the capris that I didn't think would fit....and it does feel good to be proven wrong in my own mind lol.

I would show the difference if I could figure out the pictures, maybe get that done tonight... Thanks everyone for the encouragement, it's awesome to have people out there with positive attituedes :)

It definitely is..keeps me going..

New Ipswich, NH....saw one person from my area, and they're gone...

Getting there, within 2 pds. of halfway, can't believe it! Congrats to everyone!

Awesome Job, you're about at the same spot as me, I started at 175ish, and am at 157-158. Its awesome to see other people's successes...

Thanks everyone!!! I am smiling with this, and will continue to :) I've made some decisions lately that are a good thing for me and my life and I feel blessed!! I'm so glad that I've found this website and awesome people!

OP- I've done MFP a couple times, and I realized that if you have calorie confusion as well, that seems to help. This time I've been eating 1200 calories for over a month, each day. Well, I went away for vacation, was gone 2.5 weeks an lost 5.8 pds. Away is where I realized that I'm better at doing 1200,1400, 1600…

I've been motivated by others and their photos so I thought I'd share mine, can't wait for more progress...

Two NH people, that's awesome, me too. I'm working on mine, I know that they go away the less fat I have on my body so I'm working on losing the weight before tightening up. There's a couple of non-floor based crunch videos out there that I've done in the past and felt the muscles after from doing them. Will do them again…

Autopilot, I'm learning that each day, 10 pds. down and 30 more to go, great to know I'm 1/4 of the way to goal.

I had bengay on it last night and when it woke me up at 2am, well then it was time for some heat. Brotherbill, what would you recommend to get it feeling better? I've had hip/knee pain before but this definitely feels different...loose ligaments in knees since I was in my teens.

amywhiteley85, your stats are very similar to mine, I'm looking at losing approx. 35-40 pds. and I'm hoping that I look as healthy as you when I'm done losing. Thank you for the visual boost to what I want to be, it makes me more determined to get to my goal.

Started out at 173, wearing between a 10-12, 10's were a bit snug. I've only lost 9 pds. but now I can fit into 8-10 size pants. I have a small waist but hips and thighs, so I can't go smaller. The smallest I ever got into was a 4-6, at 138 pds. but the the 4 was snug because of the legs. Hoping to tighten up, lose the fat…

Elianexox, you are about an inch taller than I am, and shaped about the same, so you're an inspiration to what I can get to at my goal weight. I started out at 173, currently at 166, but on my way.

OP- I am dating a guy that I've been on and off with for over 3 yrs. now., actually was engaged to also. Unless those issues can be dealt with, they will continue, as mine did and have. And if one or the other doesn't see them or doesn't want to finally address them, its time to move on. I'm starting to realize why some…

I'm 5'3 and 166 pds. and I'm between an 8/10 for pants and tops are small or medium depending on the style. When I was down to 138 about 7 yrs. ago, I was in a 4/6, the 4 was a little tight though. I'm hoping to be more toned this time than last time though.

Awesome Job!!!

The one that I tried had strawberries and banana (frozen) and 1 cup of apple juice, which I got the light apple juice that's 50 cal. I put it in the ninja blender and it came out really good.
