I can promise if I didn't have to be on birth control I wouldn't.

According to USNEWS.COM} There is a much higher dose of progesterone delivered in Depo compared to other hormonal methods of contraception. It could be that the extra progesterone lowers the body's metabolism, which promotes the storage of fat, or it could be that it increases appetite. Doctors don't have the answer at…

<before and now on my pictures. Def apple shaped here.

Lol nice association, but I too see the resemblance!

LOVELY!

All of yall look great! Here's mine! 298 HERE* 195 HERE*

All of my family loves green olives, and not black olives, but the ones that love blacks olives absolutely LOVES them. On everything. I love green olives and can tolerate black olives if it's in a dish.

I wish I could say that I had my measurements from when I started this journey but I don't. I was already almost 50 pounds down before I ever even thought to keep up with the inches lost. So I suggest to everyone when you start a diet, write down your starting weight and inches. You would be surprised how much motivation…

I'm not sure there is a celebrity or a model that I want to look like, but I know what you mean. My only problem is finding someone that has the same body structure and muscle mass as I do. If that makes any sense. For Example, I have a lot of muscle along with my fat yet no butt. So when I compare to someone I think looks…

Chest, I'm with you on the sports bra and consistency for sure. I have a low navel so my bend line is about 3'' above it, that's where I measure. On the thigh do you think it would be better for me to change where I've been measuring and just start over there? I measure on the fattest part which for me is at the top, my…

Any specific reason you measure under your breast? Just curious if that's just what you like to do or if you have found it better?

I know this is a very important part of most people's diet and exercise routine. I'd like to give a suggestion that I didn't see. For me I like to weigh daily to see how what I did the day before affects me, especially since I retain a ton of water. (ok not literally a ton, but you get the idea) I weigh daily, and write…

Avocados for me. I use to love guacamole, but couldn't stand avocado by itself, and now I absolutely love them.

Since I've lost weight, clothes shopping is a lot more fun. And now my feet don't look so fat when I want a pair of heels.. More shape to my body other than round, but less shape to my rear. (it's gone) lol I absolutely hate being lazy, I always want to be up and moving. Also losing weight has made me more conscious about…

Right, I understand that, just have never heard of that term for someone who wasn't underweight. I get that under lean means little muscle mass, but I guess everyone has different opinions too. When I hear the term skinny I associate it with underweight.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't this usually when someone is underweight, which in turn causes them to burn lean muscles, but from fat around the stomach? "The medical term for this is "MONW," or metabolically obese normal weight, which I prefer to refer to as being a skinny fat person. It means you are under lean but over fat…

I don't disagree at all with what you are saying, but to give each side of that idea. I weigh daily, and yes it's up and down and up and down again. Anywhere from 3-5 lbs either way each day, but the thing you have to do is to learn to not be discouraged. I have realized that weighing myself daily is very beneficial for me…

Just an idea, if you are losing inches then you're losing but gaining. When you start exercising like normal you body will start putting on muscle. Therefore you are losing fat and gaining muscle. Many people say muscle weighs more than fat, not true a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat, but muscle is denser…

The honest answer that I've learned is. There is so way to lose weight in just your thighs and your hips. The weight will come off in the order it wants to until all the extra fat is gone, but if you build your muscles then they will look better, and muscles needs more calories than fat on a day to day basis. So that being…

For me personally, I think it is easiest to stay on a 1200 calorie diet when you are eating more times a day. Smaller fresher meals, fruit, veggies, and white meat. Def stay away from processed foods, and liquid calories. Or if you want to eat more, work out more. I eat 14-1500 calories on the days I know I'm going to work…

Close. Scottish, German, Indian, Irish

to Krizzo: I'm gonna guess Irish due to light skin, hair color, and light eyes.

I understand what you're saying. Not picking sides, that's why i said maybe so maybe not. I gave a personal experience kept it light hearted then added another personal experiences. Never accusing anyone of being right or wrong in particular.

Absolutely love the blog post, thanks for sharing

LOL countryboy

Maybe he was, Maybe he wasn't, but I'm not sure if it is anyone else's place to say some of the things said because I'm assuming you (nobadkitty) were the only one from this site at that particular place and time. Either way people can be extremely rude, and I'm not one to judge on purpose. Just the one that has been…

Nobadkitty: LOL THANKS
