  • I bought this dress around the end of March last year. I haven't worn it since June so I wore it yesterday for a work event. I happened to take a picture in the dressing room and text it to my boyfriend when I bought it, so I found that photo on my phone and had to compare. It's weird that the dress is longer now? It…
  • Not at all. I'm 27 and I'm currently wearing a different dress I bought there. Also I bought another one there Saturday. Also there are two I want to order online. I refuse to let myself feel bad about dressing in adorable outfits.
  • I have three pairs of skinny jeans that are nearly identical except their size. The latest pair I bought as an "I should be able to wear these soon" gift since they were on clearance. They were too tight when I bought them but I could zip them up at least. Today I got dressed then looked down and realized the jeans I…
  • I had five different people comment on my weight loss today at work. I'm thinking it was the combination of black being slimming and me wearing heels for basically the first time ever. One co-worker asked if I had been losing weight this winter because my waist is smaller. Then the other co-worker I was talking to jumped…
  • I stopped by Target yesterday and looked at the jeans they had on clearance. I found a pair in the style and color I like just a size down from my current ones. Planned to get them to have around (jeans I love for $13 = major win) and assumed they would fit sooner or later, but tried them on just for fun. They're tight but…
  • I've woken up early for work three days in the past week (Thursday, Friday and today) to jog on the fitness center treadmill in my office building. My cat has been waking me up around 4:30 or 5 so instead of trying to get a few more minutes of sleep (and failing then feeling groggy) I've just gone to work early and jogged.…
  • 789 is evil! I'm stuck there, too. If I'm lucky enough to clear the bombs I still can't get all the greens I need. Evil.
  • It's so good! I went to a screening last week and I loved it. I'm going again Friday, I think.
  • I'd been wanting it for so long. I got it at Hot Topic. They have too much Disney stuff so I feel like I'm in high school again with how often I shop there. :p
  • Thank you! I've finally found a few styles of dresses that fit me right and make my legs look not as short as I recently realized they were. I still have to do leggings under all of them, though, because my butt makes them shorter in the back and I don't want to flash anyone. :p
  • I tried on a dress I wanted for my birthday last month and it was too big so I ordered a size down from their website. It came and it fit! I now know I can try on mediums at this store (in this style) and have a good chance of them fitting! Then yesterday I tried on another dress I had been wanting for months but didn't…
  • Saturday I got up and decided to do the 5 mile run in the park that I'll be doing Thursday. My goal was to do it in under an hour on race day, but my boyfriend has a cold and I'm scared I'm gonna be sick like last year and not do as good. I did the run in 59:30. I had to bust my butt for the last 1-2 miles (mostly…
  • White chocolate pretzels. White chocolate most things, but white chocolate pretzels are the worst for me. I discovered this a few nights ago.
  • I didn't feel great yesterday but wanted to still get a quick jog in. I decided to try to do it as fast as I could. I usually do about a 12 minute mile pace and try to do 2 to 3 miles, but since I wanted to just do 1 mile I went as hard as I could and did it in 9:50. I definitely couldn't maintain that pace but it felt so…
  • I'm overweight and boney! It's like a cruel joke. My hip bones, ribs and collarbone all look like they should be on a person who is thin and/or fit.
  • Monday I decided to try to jog 3 miles without stopping. I've been doing 2 for a few weeks and getting a little better, so I wanted to see if I could do 3. (I did 2 5ks last month and almost did them without stopping but some hills got the better of me, plus jogging in a race environment pushes me more than just jogging at…
  • I am the same way. If I buy the stuff then I just eat it and eat it and eat it. I have to not buy it or only buy it on a designated cheat day (and even then only get a little). My worst was probably when I quit drinking soda back in October. I was proud of myself for quitting soda but then I was eating a ton of candy. I…
  • There are a lot of us hanging around here! There was this thread recently if you're looking for people to add: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/664546-kentucky-ya-ll-who-s-from-ky-check-in What part are you from? I'm in Louisville.
  • Louisville here! I spent the last few years down in Murray for school but now I'm back in Louisville again!
  • I'm a fake ginger, does that count? Haha I grew up with strawberry blonde hair that turned into a dirty dishwater color so I started going red. I'm pale, have freckles and have green eyes so people usually assume I'm naturally red and just dye it brighter.
  • Louisville, but I spent the last 6 years down in western Kentucky for school.
  • I'm a Kentucky girl, too!
  • I used to take Fruit Loops and dip them in peanut butter and have that as a snack. True story.
  • I am a cereal fiend. I seriously love cereal and used to eat it all the time. Cocoa Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cap'n Crunch, Lucky Charms....I miss them all so much! If I do eat cereal now it's either Cheerios (cinnamon or regular), Crispy Rice (Yay for store brands!) and Kix (because I adore them and can't give up…
  • I kept a bunch of my jeans - including my favorite pair - and by the time I remembered I had them most of them were too big! LOL Honestly, do whatever is best for you. If it makes you sad or doesn't motivate you, get rid of them and buy new clothes when you need them. (Meanwhile I have a pair of jeans that I bought on…
  • When I went to buy an outfit for a job interview I had to get pants a size smaller than the ones I first picked out and I had to get a size smaller shirt, too! Woo! Also, the other day I was doing my C25K walk/jog and my hair tie broke - but I kept going and finished the workout anyway! The old me never would have done…
  • I love this post because I've been having hair issues like crazy. My hair is so long and so thick that it's driving me nuts during workouts and then after workouts I can't figure out what to do with it. Lately I've just been tossing it up into a messy bun every day but that's partially because of the workouts, partially…
  • That's awesome! I remember when I first fit back into my favorite jeans - I was SO pumped because all of my pants were too tight. Unfortunately I found a pair of my other favorite jeans too late - I had already lost enough that they were too loose! So sad.
  • Amazing job! I hope to have even half of the results you had when I finish. I'm did level 2 day 2 today and man, it's a killer! Plank position is not my friend.
  • I feel you! I don't need support so much as I need padding to give the illusion of something. LOL
