You look great! Also, I spy Fruits Basket manga back there and maybe.. Saiyuki? Loved both of those.

I was on different types of bcps for about 10 years. They didn't cause me to gain weight, I was just eating too much. I actually got to my lowest weight while on tricyclen-lo.

I'm not a huge fan of pop - but if I am going to have some, I buy Zevia. 0 calorie soda sweetened with the stevia leaf.

I'll be honest - if I had a Twix in my hand and my only other option was to make home made brownies and I was hungry - I'd eat the Twix. That being said, I try to avoid chocolate bars and I rarely make sweets (even date brownies).

If by hormonal you mean aunt flo, then it's completely normal to be up a few pounds. Also, like a lot of people mentioned, you should weigh yourself the same time of day every week/2 weeks (however long between you want to do it). Also, try taking your measurements. You can lose inches and not lbs sometimes especially when…

Some of these may already have been listed: - Spark People YouTube Channel has some free at home workouts for all fitness levels - 21 Day Fix by Beachbody. This is a really good workout and isn't too high impact. - P90 by Beachbody. This is new and is designed for people looking for lower impact. (Note this is NOT P90X) -…

I am the same way with energy during that time. I drink lots of water, I do snack on chocolates, and do my best during my workouts. I have to really fight against myself to get off the couch to do my workouts but once I'm done, I feel energized.

I ALWAYS gain right before TOM. I usually try to avoid the scale that week. Try to not weigh yourself every day, though. Weight fluctuates a lot.

I'm 5"7 at 158lbs and I eat around 1500-1800 calories a day. Make sure to get in your workouts and fuel your body with clean, nutritious foods. :)

Great to hear! I was already eating clean (for the most part) when I started, so it wasn't hard to get into the food plan. I LOVE the rainbow scramble breakfast.

Wow! I'm so glad so many other people are doing Combat!! I will be sending some friend requests, if it's okay :D

Hey! If you search Les Mills it will show up as Les Mills BODYCOMBAT. Be careful with the calories burned estimate, though. MFP majorly over estimates how many calories are burned for everything.

Have you ever tried Jillian's Ripped in 30? (Saw a post about her 30 Day Shred)

Usually I will fit things into my cals. I am trying to have days where I don't worry about logging about once or twice a month. I save these for holidays or birthdays. (One day only, though. Not an entire weekend)

I'm afraid to even know.

I went from a 38C to a 34C (I may have even been at a B cup by my lowest weight) and to be honest, I was much happier when they were smaller. I don't know why, but now where I'm 30lbs heavier than my lowest weight, I am hoping to lose inches there quickly as I get back down.

I created a playlist of songs I like to use when doing BBL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYBPz4jENA&list=PLBONK-QviijCvoJhoq2xV6GLdoXxt8Adz It's mostly, if not all, Korean. :P

I think it really depends on the couple. My in laws have been together for 28 years and they're not married, but still happy. My husband and I got engaged about 3 years after we started dating. We've been married 2 years in April :)

I just go back to my normal routine. I remember a few years back trying to make up days by biking in January while I had pneumonia (I was starting to feel better). That was a bad idea.

Not sure where you're from - but where I live a lot of younger women wear it. I personally don't (I'm allergic) - but when I worked in customer service it was mostly younger women (mid 20's - 30's) that would come in with the most on. And I always remembered because if it was strong enough, I'd have to go out back. :) I…

That was rather passive aggressive wasn't it. Lots of people under 60 wear perfume... ?

Perfume gives me (and many others) headaches. That being said, I don't really mind if someone is wearing it like a normal person. It's when someone walks by that smells as though they've just taken a bath in their perfume that really bothers me. I think if I were at the gym and someone was wearing perfume, I would just…

Great work! Love the 30DS!

Don't lose weight to compete or fit in with your friends. Sounds like you are at a healthy weight - don't risk hurting yourself just to be like some of your friends.

I think some people look for different things from an online weight loss community. Just because you don't mind adding a lot of people, or people without messages, doesn't mean that everyone else should not mind, either. For example, maybe there are people who only add other women/men because that's who they feel more…

YOU are an inspiration!! Incredible work!!

Focus on your weight loss, your measurements, and how you feel. Check your BMI again way down the road - don't focus on that. You are going to do great - keep working at it and your BMI will continue to get smaller. :)

I wouldn't get them myself, but I don't think any less of a woman who does. Personally, I find smaller chested women more attractive (then again, I'm a straight woman..) but I know that lots of people find women with bigger chests more attractive. It's personal preference. -I'm- more comfortable with a smaller cup size. I…
