^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (good post) I've found that in order not to eat I need to keep busy somehow. Either going for a walk, playing with our dogs, cleaning, etc really helps. You can also take up a consuming hobby with goals in mind to focus on. Like knitting a christmas sweater for your…

Keep up the good work! Don't worry about those 6 pounds, once you get back on your regular routine they'll come off! You may want to add in a couple more days of walking in the next couple of weeks to remind your body that you're not keeping all that good food on you! lol. Try to also up your ice water intake, will…

What the heck are "lube chips"?! :noway:

Every single cotton pickin' morning (usually only in my undies)! I found if I only did it once a week I would give myself a lot of cheat meals, and be thinking I still had a lot of time before my next weight in, so it was okay. However, I would then lose little to no weight. I record the weight on MFP every week though.…

Party all night, and sleep all day! Not as many food places open! :tongue: Nah, I'm in college too so I feel your pain. I find that if I bring little snacks in between classes I'm less likely to splurge on a big meal at the end of the day. And I have about an hour and a half break in my classes, and in the past I would go…

I did about 95 pounds on my own over a few years, just by mainly changing little things in my diet. Then I found the weight wasn't coming off as easily so I joined MFP almost a year ago (after a huge thanksgiving feast where I stepped on the scale and almost cried lol), and have lost about another 30 pounds with it. If I…

Haha think I just need to print out pics and put them everywhere I would feel tempted to eat or be lazy! Along with captions like, "Stop slacking!", "You're not going back to THIS!", "Put the ho ho down and step away slowly".

Try to use sarcasm back at him, that way he may laugh and he may leave you alone eventually. Say something like, "If I add more weight I'll lose all my femininity, wouldn't want that!" or something like, "that's why it's MY treadmill, not enough room for two!"

Sorry that it was such a rude awakening for you :cry: But you can take it off! Then you can be a lot more confident for those future pictures!

You've come to the right place for support! Those other systems you've tried are certainly not for everyone. Congrats on 21 pounds! That's a great start! You can do it! Sent you a request :smile:

I still have more to go, but I obviously know what it's like to have that much to lose. With time and determination anyone can do it! Best of luck! :heart:

Keeping that pair of jeans was a great idea!:smile:

Do you print out the pics or keep them on a phone or camera? Put them up?

I'll be a whopping 23 in 11 days! From the cornfields of Illinois! If anyone needs support let me know :heart:

The Victoria Secret swimsuit that just came in the mail! Don't have the courage to wear it anywhere yet! :blushing:

Welcome to MFP! You're in a good place for support! Best of luck! :flowerforyou:

I see everyone's point of view! I definitely don't see it as an insult, but still feels like it's minimized by all the work I've done. But as a man, he probably doesn't know much about women's weight haha :laugh: Thanks for all the stories and input! Makes me feel better! :flowerforyou:

A smack would be very appropriate! Some people just dont get it lol

Probably that beer in you hand :wink: , might want to cut back on the alchohol intake. It has a LOT of empty calories!

Welcome to the site! You can do it! Hope you meet lots of new friends :heart:

Welcome! I live at home too, and my parents always pressure me to eat their dinner (eye roll), not exactly the best way to lose weight! You're so close to your goal! You can do it!

... If you're "sharing" a dessert (and probably use your spoon like a shovel) :laugh:

So smart of you to take before and after pics using the same bikini!

If you lose too quickly, you'll almost be guaranteed to gain it all back =/ Depending on your weight, intake, exercise, etc. 15 is probably the most you can healthily loose. (In my opinion)

Everyone here are tall beautiful ladies! If anyone needs support, I always try to lend a helping hand :smile: I'm 5'11", also trying to get down to 165 (my tiniest ever), seems like I'm so close yet so far away lol. As you can see I've been on the "big girl" boat for years, time to make port at healthy island! Lovely to…

I'll be 23 in 2 weeks! Welcome to the site!

No one is going to laugh at you. Be proud that you're taking the right steps to become healthy and happy! When your body is getting that low of calories, it goes into a shut down survival mode, so it will slow your metabolism. It will take months to get your body back to a stage where it feels comfortable enough to take in…

The more time you THINK about doing it, is time that could be spent doing it! I recommend trying to get a work out in first thing in the morning, your brain is still foggy so it won't seem as bad. And it will actually pep you up :smile:

Afraid that's just the price your body pays for losing weight =/ I went from a D to B (and am still losing weight). Bah, luckily no one has really noticed too much... When you go on a diet your body reaches into it's fat preserves (usually first your butt, then for women their chest). Once your weight levels off again,…

:heart: Leave the muffin tops to the bakers, leave the being sexier to you!
