Hello Ladies!!! I'm Andrea, 25, 5'5" from the Portland Metro area (born and raised in Southern California, about an hour north of San Diego and 45 minutes east of Disneyland). Starting weight was 232, heaviest ever. Decided enough was enough when I saw a picture of myself last year at a softball game I was playing in. Went…

I have been doing mainly all cardio (the Arc trainer is also my fave). Once in a while I will do weights if I am in the mood. I have noticed the lower "pooch" is shrinking FINALLY! I haven't seen much of a difference there until recently. But I think I need to start doing some weights again. I do a class at my gym called…

I tend to go for spaghetti strap shirts with a cami underneath and a short sweater on top. It flatters the chest area and you can find flowy or fitted and can look good with any bottoms that you choose.

I would give some to my 12 year old cousin who still weighs about 70 pounds and has got to be pushing 5' tall. I would put some in my butt, a little in to even out my tatas again, and the rest can burn!

I am glad you like Lane Bryant's new pants. I actually stepped in their "sizing" machine when they first started their revolution hoping to add to their sizing chart. I tried on the pants that they suggested for me when they came out and experienced a MAJOR FAIL. I can only get their straight leg black work pants and even…

Hi, I am new to this group and I have finally found this term, "apple", that describes my body type. I have had ONE pair of jeans that has fit for the past 8 years or so (tighter in the past year but much better now) and it has been next to impossible to find bottoms that fit outside of black office pants, jean skirts, and…

I swear my dog sees in orange. He will follow you if he sees that you are holding Nacho Cheese Doritos or Cheese-its. He also LOVES popcorn and Cherrios. He is so funny when you offer him one of his actual treats, he won't take it from your hand but if you throw it accross the room he will chase it and bark at it and play…

Do you feel better? Do you think you can work out? If you feel better but not feeling 100%, maybe just go for a walk. If you are still feeling bad, take a night off and rest. Your body needs to rest and since you lost a lot of sleep last night, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a day off. Stay in your calorie goal and take…

Cheap Trick/Heart/Journey, Stevie Nicks, Styx/Foreigner/Def Leppard, and Foreigner/Journey. Journey is awesome in itself!

My legs, hair, eyes and (most days) my tatas! :)

I hit a plateau a couple month ago and found that upping my daily cardio workout helped and also varying what I did each week (swapping an elliptical for a short run on the treadmill, or throw in some weights with my cardio.) I am also eating up to an additional 100 cals per day and that seems to help too. In the end, you…

I love the Arc trainer, it is my favorite machine at my gym. I do at least an hour on it every day that I do cardio topping off at max resistance and incline. I have noticed, in the past 2 months or so focusing on mostly cardio, that my thigh and glute muscles have toned up a lot. It helped me break my last plateau as…

Amazing!

I'll try too! Age: 25 SW: 232 CW: 194 GW1: 160 GW2 (If I feel the want/need to continue): 140 Height: 5'5" (most of my weight is in my stomach and chest. I have muscular/toned legs, no hips, butt is finally making an appearance and arms are mostly toned) Goal date: I don't really have a specific goal date as I want to make…

Lunges and tricep dips off a step (only because they hurt my wrists and shoulders WAY too much that I can't even do one). I used to hate pushups for the same reason until I gained more upper body strength and now I can do a set of 8. So hopefully the dips will be easier eventually.

I HATE IT! I set my alarm for 6:15 this morning, snoozed it as long as I could (till 6:45) and then turned it off and didn't wake up again until 7:40. Good thing I am still getting to work an hour before I actually HAVE to be there. But losing the hour yesterday, being tired from helping a friend move and not seeing the…

35 down and 30-40 to go! I was at a low turning point the past few weeks but a friend helped me kick myself back in to gear. I like to think I am "addicted" to working out in that I work out at least 5 days a week if not 6 or 7. My day does not feel complete unless I did my work out. Some days I just get tired of it and I…

You could always go online and see if the restaurant has a menu on their website. Choose something sensible and log it before you go. That way you know what you are eating, and how much and it will be harder to stray off of that choice. I know how you feel, I have been there and honestly, I still have trouble with eating…

I crave a hamburger or steak once in a while. I don't eat that type of red meat very often so I think that is why. I noticed when I was eating a lot of salads and chicken, I craved it a lot more.

I like #2. Its cute yet work looking at the same time.

I think that it takes longer for women to lose weight around their waists because our bodies store more there for "baby protectant." I noticed my thighs, back and chest got smaller first and my stomach has finally started to catch up. Most of the weight that falls off first, I think is the most recent stuff that you have…

I am here. I have been using my phone for most of my checking in and I can't view topics on there, only my diary and wall. I will try to check in on a computer more often. I am needing some motivation too. I am considering doing my first 5k in March(probably walking it, but will attempt some running). I want to lose some…

Wear your regular bra (with an underwire if possible) and a sports bra on top. This works well and sometimes I will wear 2 bras and the sports bra on top if I am doing kick boxing or something like that.

I LOVE kraft's light Raspberry Vinegarette. Also, the salsa idea is a good one.

Lose another 30 pounds, if not 50. Run a marathon or a half marathon and actually RUN, not have to walk any portion of it. Do all of the exercises in my Body Pump class without having to break during the sets.

Like others have said, you can't spot train. But try adding some back training like lat pull downs, reverse crunches (kind of like those ab machines but bending back at the hips instead of forward.), rows, etc. This site is pretty helpfull looking, but use weights that work for you obviously. :happy:…

sorry, double post

You might be feeling that way because of the "new year" coming. And since you feel as though you haven't accomplished what you wanted, it is making you feel down. But instead of that, look at the new year as a chance to make that change. You will never see that "beautiful girl" until you start thinking positive and acting…
