Get it. I don't think I had to pay for my records but I got mine because I was moving out of state and wanted them with me when I got a new doctor. I love having it. I can see all my past weigh-ins as far as almost 10 years back.

I'm 5'4" Currently: 34" - above chest 37" - at chest 28" - waist 37" - hips Would like: 25-26" - waist 35" - hips Content with chest. We'll see lol. But, now that I am like an average weight I'm losing more inches versus pounds. So, I guess it's plausible.

Thank you!

Thank you! My stomach is still in need of toning. It's getting better though, especially with every pound now it's making a difference. I think it has to do with the elasticity of your skin and how well it will bounce back. But working on your stomach through out your weight loss will definitely help you. I wish I started…

You look absolutely incredible!

Thank you! :blushing:

Thank you all.

Thank you! I've been getting messages about what I've actually done to lose the weight so I'll just post that in here. Nutrisystem, lol. :laugh: I ordered Nutrisystem and was on it for almost a year straight. It has helped me reshape my mindset on portion control and eating the correct foods. I still order Nutrisystem…

Wow, thank you everyone. I am blushing right now from the responses. :flowerforyou: Also in reply to sarahweatherhead: Some of the challenges I have dealt with have a lot to do with my emotional eating. And there were a few things that threw me off course. - When I had lost thirty pounds, I was at the grocery store and the…

288. :noway:

There is a difference. Congrats! It's probably because they see you often and the changes are gradual. The people I associate with here don't really realize how much I have lost because it's been a gradual process but when I go back home to visit family/friends twice a year, they are amazed each time. Even with my husband,…

Thank you! My stomach is definitely a work in progress. I still have a pooch going on but for the most part my body did pretty well with the elasticity. My stretch marks have been the worst. I mean they aren't too noticeable color-wise but they've made my skin a bit wrinkly towards my pooch where there are a lot of them. I…

I've found it to be bittersweet. I went from like a DD(D?) to a C. I was contemplating getting a reduction but now that I've lost weight I don't need too. It's helped my back problems a lot and I fit into tops better. But, at the same time.. I miss having them..

Officially out of 36D bras and into 34C. I got measured today. I was incredibly happy to see the band get smaller. Cup size, meh.. bittersweet.

Consignment stores and I resell my clothes back when they no longer fit again. I don't make all my money back but it's more than if you were to buy clothes and have them sit in your closet for dust to collect.

The only thing I've given up is fast food and it isn't something I crave or even appeals to me anymore. Everything else is about moderation and portion control. I love buffalo chicken wing pizza, but will only have it like twice a year when I go back to my hometown where I am spoiled with amazing pizzerias.

I need to get back on! Ugh, I started and was on level 2 but then got distracted when my father came to visit me for a week and it threw me all off. Tomorrow I start again. I started noticing differences in inches in the first week.

It doesn't seem like you're getting enough calories which causing your body to go into starvation mode.

About 4lbs a month.

Thank you for the support, it's greatly appreciated. It's just all still very new to me especially since I notice I am losing more inches now versus actual weight and see my frame getting smaller.

Amazing! Congrats.

Thank you! And thank you as well to Silver180. Oy, haha. Uh, it was my best friend's wedding and at that point we were all a little tipsy and the groom was being held up by us girls. ;)

Nevermind my original post.

I was scared too. After asking from help from others on why I was losing weight at a snails pace....in the past two weeks I started eating back my calories from my work out and I've lost 4lbs in 2 weeks which took me like 2 months to achieve prior. Obviously it was what my body needed and kick started my weight loss back…

I've had Mirena in for almost three years and it has no affect on my weight gain or losing. I've been pretty satisfied with it, overall. I get occasional cramping here and there... If you are worried about weight gain than I suggest asking for the hormone-free IUD. =)

New wardrobe since I currently have very little clothing that fits well.... I just bought clothes a few months ago and they're too loose now and make me look frumpy. Bought a coat for the winter and its getting too big.... never ending battle or so it seems lol.

I think you're going a little over the top. It'll say you're getting too few calories. Generally, I wont log everyday activity...unless it is something like cleaning the house vigorously to the point where I break a sweat or something. I do log my everyday cardio since I generally run 5 times a week and whatever strength…

When I saw a tagged photo of myself on facebook from a friend's wedding and I didn't even recognize myself. I didn't realize how out of control my weight really was. And I carry my weight in my stomach, so I was asked more than a couple of times when I was due. They would always walk away embarrassed when I told them I…
