And I'm training my daughter to out-lift your son.

Could you look up the burn on another site for that pace/time at your weight plus 30 pounds?

That I once weighed 244...

Depends on what your workouts look like. I love my fitbit - and I wear it all day/every day. BUT - it doesn't measure anything but steps (and sleep of course). So, when I walk, it captures that (and automatically sends that info to MFP now which is nice). But anything like elliptical/weight training it is inaccurate. Then…

I think "get it girl!" I was there once. Takes much more, IMHO, energy, commitment, and COURAGE to run when overweight than when at goal weight. Keep going. Those people that see you running most days are going to be really impressed as you shrink before their eyes!!

*gasp* Welcome, Tina...

It's been said a million times: Weight loss isn't linear. We would all like it to be perfect and fit into all of the calculations we do, but it just isn't. Remember- you need to look at the long term trend (I know easier said than done)...

This is ABSOLUTELY correct. Besides- as a mortgage originator, your friend should have access to easy loans at good rates based on the equity in their other properties. If they can't get their own loan, there is a reason.

bump - looking like tomorrow's breakfast.. yum...

I don't think that people who aren't from here can really understand it. And we like it that way:-) Nothing like Broad Street after a championship.

Can we get this stickied? Probably some of the best advice I've read all day. Thanks for posting.

Don't forget though a size 14 then is NOT the same as a 14 now. Vanity sizing has really changed things - even in the last 20 years.

John Cougar (pre-Mellencamp) And you can have Donnie Wahlberg as long as I can have Mark...

+1 I think that was a well written message with only the best of intentions. It's called "tough love" for a reason...

I have a girl crush AND a boy crush...:blushing:

^^this The people to whom I have sent requests was because of either something I saw that was similar to myself (goals, sense of humor, location, etc), or something I respected/admired (for example, those that have a lot of fitness knowledge). I also prefer to keep the group small because I try to interact with everyone on…

bump to watch later

Every. Single. Day. Smucker's natural if I have the calories to "spend" PB2 if I don't. mmmm... peanut butter...

bump - these sound good. Thanks!

I lost a shoe size - so maybe I could see losing 1/2" - but 1-1/2" seems impossible. Maybe you were standing differently? Like when you were heavier you stretched upward to feel smaller in your stomach or something?? But hey- the other decreases are amazing! Congrats!

Tankini __OR__ If you don't mind spending the money, Lands' End and Athleta have beautiful suits in Tall and Cup sizes.

All of you look awesome!

Ah yes- this is about to get very good...

I'd like to know as well... Not sure that I will ever be able to look in the mirror and NOT see fat chick.

I had a Bod Pod test last night - I'm at 18.6%. I am happy with that BUT... I'd like to get to 16-17% just not sure I can actually do it.

bump -- great idea thanks for sharing!

This is awesome - thanks for sharing!

When my daughter (who was young then) used "obese" in a sentence, but she said "obeAST" and I thought - "yea - same difference... I do look like a beast"...

bump for later

I didn't mean to imply that you were out to get anything -sorry if it sounded that way.
