Yes, it could be worse! 32-28-42 here I think you look fabulous because you have the hourglass going on. Keep your chin up, you have LOTS to be happy about!

i've been drinking the Lean Shake 25 for a few years now, on and off. I drink them mostly for breakfast if I'm in a hurry and after workouts. I love the calories versus protein mix and I can drink it with just water and it's still tasty. I've got a box of the pills, but I can't stand the smell of them so I can't take them.…

I try to use Strong and Fit instead. And yeah, the (real) F and S words are used a LOT around here.

Looks to me like you ate 2150 calories, going over your goal. If you had exercised, it would have come up in the 0 column and the net would have been 2150 (what you ate) - X you burned from exercise.

Small changes. I'm a SAHM, and I set myself a goal of 10k steps each day with my body bug thingy, and I thought in an "average" day that'd be impossible, so I was accepting 8k per day without exercise and 10k with a workout. I've found that just by walking around the house more (not sitting down), taking the stairs instead…

I'm not there now but I spent 4months in Qatar in 2011 and LOVED it! I was in Al Khor but traveled to Doha at least once a week. Hope you find some like-minded friends to be in touch with!

Bath mats, curtains/rods, cutting boards/measuring cups for kitchen, drying rack for handwashed dishes, floor brush and dustpan... Lots and lots of stuff! We have moved almost every 2 years and just recently we packed up our essentials to send to Japan ahead of our move there and it was fun separating what we'd miss more…

I got married and moved to the USA. I've struggled to lose the weight and keep it off ever since.

You really couldn't have chosen wrong, all 4 options were gorgeous on you. I love white but I guess with such dark hair, the black outline of the green really matched you well. Can't wait to hear that you got it!

Bump! So cool!

5'0 and target of 110 ish, but starting to believe that I might not get much below 120 with muscles...

Walmart has some bags of frozen stir fry mixes that you can boil or fry to go with meals as sides. They are mixtures of squash, peppers, corn, snap peas, broccoli, etc etc etc depending on which you buy. I usually stir fry with about a tablespoon of oil or butter and some seasonings depending on how I'm eating them (with a…

When you aren't already cooking for a spouse/kids, it can be hard to eat right (btdt). I always had my fave healthy snacks on hand whenever my dh was deployed. A fridge full of deli meat turkey, lettuce, celery/babycarrots whatever little things you can eat without cooking. Handfuls of nuts (in pre-portioned servings)…

Feeling like I'll never finish, never weigh the right number, never be small enough.

pre-portion your snacks before you go. Don't just get a big bag of almonds or dried fruit and slowly eat the whole bag throughout the trip. Put the snacks in individual snack size baggies and weigh or count out servings so you can be aware of the calories while you're on the road to avoid "mindless eating" while you're…

Hi guys another 5'0 here! Hw 163 SW 154 CW 128 ish GW 115 Totally stuck in a plateau right now, need to cut cals again I think. Have been maintaining this current weight for the last almost year, so need to kick it into gear and start up again. I think there are visible pics in my profile.

Lift weights or get P90X to do as well as Insanity. You need to burn the fat off your muscles as well as building the muscles to achieve definition. Insanity alone will burn fat but not really build muscles the way lifting weights will.

I did Crossfit for 3 months before I had to quit. My 1rep max for Low Bar was 133# when I left. i'm 5ft, 128lbs ish.

We should all be able to roughly guess the calorie content of different plates by their description or main ingredients. Insisting that all food providers apply calorie counts to their menu items is just another way to be lazy and pass off the responsibility of what you're putting into your mouth onto someone else. Here's…

I saw it and wanted to do it but had no one to do it with! Wish I had thought of you guys sooner. I think it's such a cool idea.

I can't cope with the google docs but I'm in and I've done 5miles so far.

Cheat food: chips Healthy food: peas Food that OMG SHOULD be a cheat, but isn't: low fat buffalo dip (fat free cream cheese, low fat cheese, etc) Exercise: dancing - ballroom, latin, freestyle, anything!

Hi guys, I'm Stacey, living in New Bern, NC. I've been here for over a year and have maintained my current weightloss without much effort since last May. I'd like to lose another 10-20lbs but so far, I'm failing to find the motivation/reason to put in the work for the last lbs to come off. 10lbs puts me at my highschool…

Hey guys! I was 154 (at 5ft) and in a size 14 David's Bridal bridesmaid's dress November 2011. I was to be a bridesmaid October 5 2012 and I started dieting the day after that fitting - I was in tears as I left the store. I ended up ordering the dress I was to wear (strapless which I hate!!!) in a SIZE 6. I wore that size…

Ordered it! Thanks everyone, now to get started!

I don't have a costco membership, can I still order one? off to check the link now...

White, 27 128-130lbs 5ft size 6-7 jeans size 4-6 dresses/tops.

Surely you just enter your current weight as your original start weight, then set your ticker and then "check in" with your real current weight. It'll say you have lost 22lbs since your last weigh in and you'll see that number.

How many laps is she hoping to walk with you? I would suggest she pushes it and walks as fast as she can manage for one lap, then sit out a lap/slow way way down while you run a lap to get back to her, then walk another lap, slightly slower, break again, you run a lap, then she pushes again for a 3rd lap.

1, How long did you plan? 9months 2. How much did you spend? (sorry if that's personal) Was this more/less than you planned? around $2000 not including my dress 3. How many people were invited/ how many showed up? invited 65ish, showed up, maybe 50ish? Not sure - we got married overseas (NOT destination type though) so we…
