  • I'm posting this from experience... Step away from the scale! The scale is a tool in weightloss but when too much emnphasis is placed on it it can derail you. I used to weigh daily until I realized that my mood for the entire day was determined by the number that I saw on the scale in the morning. If I was eating right and…
  • I've lost a cup size and 2 in. off my chest to my husband's dismay lol. I have been doing a tons of push ups (finally graduated to real push ups), burpees, chest press and pull ups and dips (assisted). Over the last 5 weeks I have also been doing the whole circuit of chest machines 2-3Xweek. One of my goals was to go from…
  • $72 a month, Hubby has a corporate membership so this $72 is actually discounted for me!
  • I like the pick 2 chicken noodle soup and greek salad
  • I think that it boils down to one thing. You have to learn to love yourself period. I know that it is easier said than done but you should love yourself no matter if you gain 15lbs or 40lbs. When you love yourself so much, it won't hurt as much if people say stupid things.
  • Your before and afters are amazing! That is one forgiving bikini!
  • me with my 10 stone award (over 140lb lost) my blog has a few more piccies and info on my journey if you wanna see :) must do an update at some point! life getting in the way :( http://fatflutterby.blogspot.co.uk/ [/quote] This is so inspiring!!! You seriously look 15 here. Absolutely AMAZING!!!
  • Ditto the grilled chicken bacon ranch salad. Insteda of ranch I get low lite asian sesame dressing. I would also get a plain sundae with nuts or an ice cream cone.
  • Will do! Good luck on your adoption journey.

  • You look like Adele... wait that is Adele! Your pics are dark.
  • I'm 5"9 and 160 is my goal. At that weight some people do say that I am too skinny. At goal I was in a size 6/8 pants. I think because I went from a "happy" size 14, it was a little shocking for people close to me.
  • This!!! It doesn't make sense that you only accept answers that say exactly what you want them to say. I would say that your thinking and some of the things you post are crossing dangerously into disordered eating. You have done great so far, have confidence in the choices that you make if they are working for you! Do you…
  • She has stated that she doesn't want cake! Just because she doesn't want to eat the cake at this particular time doesn't mean that she is depriving herself. I can have a sweet tooth at times but it comes and goes. Right now I would not be tempted by brownies, birthday cake, cookies whatever. Another day or time I might…
  • The longer you resist the slaler that donut is getting. You say it's been there since morning? Totally stale already!
  • I got to my goal by eating healthy without working out. I am trying to get back there by eating right and exercising and it is a lot slower.
  • This is almost spot on for me. weight 183 183 X 12= 2196 - 500 for 1lb loss a week = 1696 My trainer suggests that I eat 1800 cals a day. I workout 5-6 days a week. I feel good and reach all of my macros at 1600-1680 cals a day. If I were sedentary I think it would be too many calories.
  • I'm not sure if I will log in forever. I too get a little addicted to the weighing/ measuring logging etc. I reached my goal weight doing WW. Since I am a Lifetime member I just have to weigh in monthly and be within 2lbs of my goal weight and it is free. I was able to maintain this until I had another baby. If I get on…
  • I would love to join. Do we post here or are we setting up an actual group? 5'9 CW- 183 GW-165
  • I love your inspirations! lol. Wow do you really eat McDonald's everyday? I would start tracking sodium also. You could be holding on to a ton of water weight!
  • Tiffany, I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. You are in the right place to find support and reach your goals. You can lose 20lbs by the time your wedding rolls around if you put your mind to it. The thing is, you have to want it just that much. You don't have to give up the foods that you love, it's everything in…
  • Toatally agree! I have 5 kids so I wake up early adn hit the gym at 6am M-F. That way I can stop at the grocery store on the way home kid free and have some time to check in here. It seriously keeps me sane.

  • I know you are not where you want to be but I just had to say how incredible your before and afters are! Your posture, your smile, the way you carry yourself as opposed to your before picture is amazing! I hope you can figure out the reason you are gaining. Once you figure this out you will be UNSTOPPABLE!
  • I recently did this for myself.. Go to settitngs Diary Settings Nutrients Tracked Add in sodium
  • Maybe something else to look at is your sodium. I would set your macros to reflect that. Between your frozen breakfast sandwiches, frozen meals for lunch etc you could be taking in a whopping amount of sodium!
  • When I want a burger without the guilt I get it wrapped in lettuce instead of the bun. If I want a taste of the bun I scoup out the middle so there's only a shell left on the outside. I think when eating a burger it's the comination of all of the tastes together and not so much that you want to eat a huge calorie filled…
  • I think it looks great but a different style top might be more flattering on you. Maybe a halter type top?
  • Eating 1200 cals a day would make me cranky too! When i used to eat low fat low cal I always felt jittery, on edge and overall crappy. All of the processed and low fat and fat free this and that made me feel worse. How much weight have you lost? Could it be you are gaining some self confidence and not taking crap from…
  • It took me awhile to get a good mileage up now I can run 10 miles (walking some). Have you heard of the running group Black Girls Run? My niece went from couch to just finishing her first half marathon! The group is a natioanl organization that gives running support to Sistas. You train together and they are on the…
