  • I don't speak from experience either, but from what I know, if you lose weight gradually (say, 1-3lb/week), the skin being elastic, will just shrink back to accommodate for the new body size. When I hear of problems with loose skin, they are usually caused by the fact that the person lost a lot of weight very quickly,…
  • Wow, congratulations! Amazing work :smiley:
  • One thing I find very useful in trying to making something a habit is to try to organize things so that you don't need motivation - so that the good option is the default one, the one that requires the least effort. Like having water in a glass already on your desk when you are work, so that you don't have to make a…
  • My advice is DEFINITELY see a doctor! Two friends of mine had this problem (their lower stomach was bloated) and they both turned out to have ovarian cysts. One of my friends was ok after only a small surgery, but the other one's cyst was actually cancer. Fortunately it was discovered and operated on time. This can be…
  • Awesome job!!! Congratulations!! :)
  • :))) There's another advantage to that - after saying that you are definitely not craving any more crackers :D Win!
  • Wow, awesome that you can actually have *just* a bite of it! ^_^
  • My thoughts exactly! ^_^ Congratulations!!!
  • Here's another one: phablet Phone + tablet = phablet.
  • This reminds me of this article I've read...apparently there are a LOT of people who hate the word "panties"! Personally, I have no problem with it :) http://www.cracked.com/blog/5Bx5D-more-words-that-need-to-be-banned/ Forgot to add the link...there, fixed.
  • The black one, definitely! :) You look great in both! :) While I like the V-neck on the blue/gray one, but the black one has more shape and the fabric seems to flow better. It has that nice draping detail on the left that makes it much more figure-flattering. The grayish one is just a bit too long so it tends to shorten…
  • Oh, and there's also this article I found very interesting: http://zenhabits.net/starting/ It says the key to creating a habit is to start doing that thing every day. Not necessarily doing it for a long time...the key is starting to do it. Every day.
  • Having a positive attitude makes such a difference! :) Especially with things that are not measurable. If you tell yourself logging food is stressful, you will feel it to be stressful. You will believe yourself when you say it. If you think of something as fun, or as something that you enjoy doing, then it won't be…
  • Done a couple of hours after reading your post :) Didn't know exactly how to find this page again after that..and then went to sleep :) Thanks for the challenge!
  • On the plus side, you don't actually need to weigh that little to look awesome! :) So, less weight to lose :D And given how the number of calories that you should eat per day is proportional to the weight, then you also get an extra yummy treat each day :) On the minus side....with my 7.3 inch wrist and wide feet...finding…
  • Congratulations!! You look great, it's awesome that you've succeeded! :) Maybe you haven't yet gotten used to the new you :)
  • Thank you for taking the time to send the links. Eight subjects, four study days, appetite ratings at the buffet after drinking the sweet/sweetened drink? There should be a *very* strong correlation between sweeteners and appetite for it to show up during this kind of study. If it was that bad, people could also tell and…
  • Wow, I see that you guys have already posted a lot of interesting ideas and suggestions on this topic :) I just wanted to add a link to this cool video, where it's explained why exactly soda (all types, both sugary and diet) is just plain bad for you:…
  • Hi, Friend request send :) I also need some friends to help with the motivation..thanks!
  • Congrats! You look great ;)
  • Congrats! :) I have to agree that it's not at all good for your budget, but buying new clothes because the old ones are too large is just awesome! :D
  • Hi, I'm also new to this site and I'm trying to get myself to start losing some weight, as it's been so easy to put on...but not off, sadly. It'd be great to support each other through it! Good luck to you!
  • This is an interesting point that you are making:) I think that what we should take from all these studies (I have seen a documentary about similar studies) is that if you are normal/slim and not overweight, your health will only benefit from that. Personally, I don't think I could constantly monitor my caloric intake for…
