Thank you guys :). Today was much better. Hormones mess me up sometimes and I was having boyfriend issues. I definitely appreciated the scale much more today.

I'm also 5'5." I set my original goal at 145. It's within a normal BMI and even my dr acted like I shouldn't try too hard to go lower than that unless I wanted to. I hit that goal and decided to keep losing until I'm happy and try to build some muscle. That's really the only way you can do it. Set a goal you feel you can…

You can easily get the protein your body needs (and extra if you think you need it to build more muscle) without eating meat. I just wanted to point that out. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian, so I don't have any issues getting any of my nutrients at all, but even vegans don't have any trouble getting protein as long as they…

I like cucumber with some vinegar. Bell peppers are good, and so are kale chips. I tried to make the kale chips on my own and they definitely didn't taste as good as the ones I got at the store.

I've been through it too and thought nobody understood how I felt. Since all of those "You're better off this way" or "It was meant to happen" or "It's so common" statements just made me feel worse. The most important thing that helped me through it was to allow myself to grieve and do something to remember the baby by. I…

I love your hair!

I just remembered another one that I'm kind of curious to know if anyone else has encountered. I went on a date with a guy and he was acting like he really liked me, but afterwards (by text message) he explained that I wasn't his type and he only likes girls who are really skinny and he was just trying something new. He…

There was another post about this recently. Iron was my issue. It thinned out all over, not in patches. I got a blood test at my doctor, started taking a cheap iron supplement and now I have a thick head of baby hairs mixed in and joke that I have a mullet (though I'm pretty sure nobody else notices it). Other people say…

Neal McDonough and I would make some pretty babies ;)

I totally agree with the last statement :). We can work hard and lose the weight. You will be beautiful no matter what. He isn't attractive on the inside and doesn't even realize it so he probably won't change. I bet he thought he was giving you a compliment. I've had similar comments throughout my life. It got stuck in my…

You fishy people are pescetarians :)

Private property

I had a similar ex bf thing. I had to borrow his shorts and he really didn't like that they pretty much fit. He was still bigger than me (he was definitely overweight, too) but it freaked him out that I was almost his size.

Wow, thank you for posting this! I knew my insatiable appetite issue was hormones and exactly when in the month it happened, I just didn't know which hormone. You're totally right, definitely progesterone! Sorry this is several days later, but I just noticed it and had to point it out.

I have an urban rebounder, but I don't use it as much as I should. You can get workout videos that do all kinds of things instead of just jumping. I find it more fun than doing some other forms of exercise, but it makes more sense just to use it as a supplement to other workouts when you need something different than to…

In 4th grade, I went to a private school and my sister was dating the most popular guy in 8th grade. He'd have his friends follow him around and say things like "Got some butter for those rolls." And "You don't have boobs yet, you're just fat." (Since I had to start wearing bras before most of my other classmates). He…

I like the shape of your jaw

Pretty smile :)

Nice biceps :)

I've found that my crazy appetite is directly hormone related. Certain parts of the month I just feel hungry no matter what and even if I don't overeat, the scale doesn't budge, then a couple weeks later, I don't change a thing and the lbs melt off. As far as hating veggies, go to a farmers market or whole foods and try a…

crash

I didn't read through everyone else's posts, so I just wanted to let you know I had the same problem. It was iron. It wasn't even super low, just on the very low end. Once my doctor prescribed high iron supplements, it stopped falling out. Now I have crazy amounts of baby hairs, which isn't so cute, but I'm happy I don't…

I'm 5'5" and started at 207.6. My original goal weight was 145, CW is 141, My new goal is 130 ish.

I've been dealing with that problem and have tried to talk to friends about it but they didn't understand. Reading through these, I'm glad I'm not alone. I look at myself in the mirror and see an XL on a bad day, and an L on a good one. Today I went shopping and had to go back and get a small shirt because the medium was…
