I LOVE this description!!

The same thing happened to me!! I got stretch marks all over my hips/thighs at age 10!! Oddly enough, I havent grown ANY in height since then! LOL I went from being the tallest 4th grader in my class at nearly 5 feet tall to nearly the shortest adult everywhere. And I got no stretch marks with my daughter until I had her.…

First off, serious congrats are in order! 66 lbs is AMAZING. That takes lots of dedication and patience and I just find this amazing!! I think you look GREAT in that bathing suit. I will tell you that I am 4'11" tall and carried a 9 lb baby to 42 weeks pregnant! My stomach was literally 4' around on the day I was induced.…

You have a gorgeous figure and you look great!!

You look great!! You should be so proud of yourself!!

This is amazing!! Seriously you should be so proud. You look fantastic!

WOAH LADY! You look amazing!! Huge motivation for me to continue on this path! I would have never guessed you had kids OR a C section!!! Seriously in awe!

I have seem women on this board who have kids and have AMAZING bodies. The common link between all of them is they lift weights. I also think it has a LOT to do with how you carried your baby. My daughter was a hair under 9 lbs and 22 inches long. I am 4'11" and went past due 2 weeks. The fact that my stomach was four feet…

Yes! I like it better then ground beef actually (I prefer my beef in the form of a steak :) It has a really mild flavor so you can really taste the taco spices more then you can with ground beef! I make my own taco spice mix and also add 1 can of beans (any kind.. black, kidney, pinto) into the taco meat with about 1/2 can…

Tacos! They are my standby whenever I am cooking for a large group. Put everything into separate dishes (I use ground turkey, cheese, lettuce, pico, sour cream, hot salsa, lettuce, black olives, etc) and I also get flour and corn tortillas. The kids always have a blast making them and I dont have to worry about who likes…

This has been SO true for me. I got into a very bad habit of eating a ton of sweets while nursing my daughter. That sugar was GREAT for milk production. When I stopped nursing, those cravings stayed and it just got out of control. I started MFP on Jan 15th of this year and have been getting in 150g of protein or so a day.…

That is great!! I love stories like this :)

Best.Advice.EVER. All of this!! Don't be disappointed based on what the scale says!! It is a picture of that exact moment of time. Get on a second later, it changes. Its an unreliable measure of progress and most definitely an unreliable measure of success!!

Honestly, if you just start eating the sandwich by itself you may find it fills you up! Fries/chips were sort of just a habit for me. That is what my family always served with sandwiches so that is just what I became accustomed to. When I met my husband, we would stop by somewhere to grab a sandwich and he would just order…

I want to do this but I have so many questions! If I go by the In Place of a Roadmap instructions, do I eat back my exercise calories each day or do I just leave those since I have chosen moderately active which encompasses 1 to 3 workouts per week? I have been at this a month and while I am seeing a fairly OK weight loss,…

Seriously amazing!!! *Inspired*

Wow! What a huge difference! Your back looks fantastic... very strong!!

You look absolutely incredible!!

Great job!! That is an amazing difference for such a relatively short amount of time! Congratulations to you!

Life is too short to worry about these kinds of things! It is one meal! You tracked it.. enjoyed it... now move on! Seriously, obsessing over these kinds of things is the start to failure. Because guilt leads to self worth issues and before you know it, you throw in the towel!

I agree with both the previous posters! I look at style blogs for ideas and then I go to thrift and consignment stores and find items similar!! I have no idea what your style is (mine is all over the place!) but the girlwithcurves site is a great place to start because her style is really easy, approachable, budget…

I feel the same way! I feel like a beached whale doing burpees. All the up down up down makes me feel so awkward!

Hi! I am sorry you are feeling bummed about this :( Working so hard and yielding very little results sucks and I know a lot of people can relate. The good news is, this is totally fixable!! Play around with your calories and I bet you will start to see some movement on the scale in the right direction!! I am 4'11" and eat…

Is it 6 weeks or 6 months with no loss? I only just started in January but WHENEVER I start doing anything new to my body (counting calories, exercise, even a walking regime) it totally freaks out and just has no idea what to do. Often times, that means I stay the same weightfor 4 to 6 weeks. But, by the 8 week mark I…

I love this post so much! Your story has totally made my morning. I feel like sending this to everyone I know who says they can't do it :)

You need to make sure you are getting enough calories and that out of those calories a sufficient amount are coming from protein and healthy fats.

I am definitely not an expert at this (though I did lose 30 lbs prior to starting MFP! and now hoping to lose 20 to 30 more!) but it seems like you may not be eating enough. It looks as if you routinely burn between 600 to 700 calories but you stay under your calorie goal and do not eat back your exercise calories. I know…

I was a member for a while and didnt like it at all. Ours was totally trigger happy with the "lunk' alarm and I found that to be more of an interruption then the sounds of weights clanking which is what I would expect to hear at a gym anyways. It doesnt have a real gym like atmosphere to me which was not very motivating to…

WOAH WOAH WOAH! New doctor, STAT. This is absolutely crazy! Any doctor I have ever been to would be so thrilled to have someone getting a new healthier lifestyle. Screw them. Seriously.

Whatever you do, do not do this. lol
