I agree with the OP, not to pick on anyone- that is just my personal preference to not show off my entire body- have a little secrecy, be a little innocent! :)

Very good point, I feel the same!

I agree with this!! This is also how I do it!

I have had problems with it most of my life, I have only had 2 or 3 really bad lows. One of them started right before last semester, and lasted until winter break was over. I have been working out a lot, taking St. John's Wort, and praying. It's not easy and there are many people out there that understand, reach out for…

Since I've lost weight, I miss my comfy bottom!! Went on a 12 hour car trip and couldn't get comfortable at all!! But, I really missed my smaller jeans, they are soooo much cuter when they're smaller!

Fruits and veggies, add as much as you can, anywhere you can! Good healthy carbs too! Whole grain breads and pastas.

Running is one thing that I always wanted to do, I also have 2 young children and I have started the couch to 5k program. I love it!! I'll tell u a secret, I run in the basement or along the hall and living room when they are busy playing and don't seem to need me! Sometimes I get interrupted, but not too bad, and I just…

Hot Chocolate! :)

I like em all! I don't put a lot on my salad tho, never have. I only use 1 tbsp for my salad, I read somewhere that the dressing is supposed to enhance the flavors in the salad, not cover them up!! This is supposed to be a lifestyle change, but you are also supposed to enjoy what you eat.

I didn't when I was trying to loose, but now in maintenance mode I do bc I am consistently low on protein and calcium and adding it in here in there helps out. And I only drink fat free or skim.

I know you got a lot of posts here to read through, and I didn't read all of them so I don't know what anyone else has told you, but I wanted to offer you some of my experience. I was in a marriage like that too, and even though we are divorced now, it's still like that. I have been really trying to work on this issue for…

Joe Dirt- literally one of my all time fav's!!

I don't know the answer to that, but I have the exact same problem! Hope you feel better soon!

I honestly lost my desire to work out because life has been so incredibly busy for me right now, I set my goal to maintenance at least a month ago and I have still lost 5 lbs and I am eating the calories it has me set on and plus on some days. It was really hard at first to change my mentality from "eat as little calories…

I have been on maintain mode for about a month now, I have actually still been loosing weight. Don't stress about it, and take it up slowly if you need to. I was really worried at first too, but it really hasn't been a problem. Takes a while to loose that "gotta eat low cal" mentality! Good luck to you!

You should eat more when you exercise. It will actually help you more than hurt you in the weight lose game!

Fruit is really good for sweet cravings, also cereal that isn't high in calories.

Light Ranch Dressing, I love Ranch on tuna!

First and Foremost: Find your nearest 12 step meeting and get involved, will do wonders for your self esteem and really bring your life to a whole new place. Secondly, everyone has a "past", chances are that anyone you date will have some stuff they are overcoming to. I am really wishing you luck. I am just about at 8…

I have bought a couple. The cheap walmart model I got broke 3 times, I made sure to keep my receipt and had no problems exchanging it, or getting my $ back when I couldn't handle the breaking anymore! I ended up buying a "cheap" one at a sporting goods store and still have it, no problems with it at all. So I guess I am…

Same problem here too!

I am on the go a lot and I have the same problem, I keep snacks in my car so I don't pig out on "bad" stuff! I keep triscuits, beef jerky, and a fruit and nut mixture. I keep kashi bars and whole grain cracker sandwiches in my purse. May not be the best, but better than double cheeseburgers and fries! Good proteins and…

Mine's just in the toes of my left foot, thought it was bc I had a broken toe on that foot years ago!

Yes, if eat actually physically eat less than 1000-1200 everyday then u are putting ur body in starvation mode. Your net calories isn't what u go on for that tho, but if I were you I would eat more calories, especially on days you work out.

You can friend me!! I am 30, mother of 2 and stay at home/ full time student. I am very serious about this journey! :)

bump! One of my fav desserts!

YAY You!!!
