Sounds so much like me! I'm 5' 3" small frame, currently 155. I was 180 after my son was born. My goal is to at least get back down to my pre-baby weight of 130. 115-120 would be amazing though!

Sorry if I'm too frank in this answer, but are you close to that time of the month? Or, are you weighing yourself at the same time of day each time? Because if you've eaten or drank anything that probably effects the number you'll see. I always weigh myself first thing in the morning at the same time. Before I eat and…

I'm currently doing it. I have been doing it for about 7 days now and still on level 1. You can add me if you want. :) It's a crazy program, but I love the results I'm seeing from it!

LOL, I may just do that. ^__^

Ok, I may or may not be missing the point of this post... so if I am... please don't hate me! BUT! I do indulge in some soda every now and then and have still managed to loose weight! Processed foods too. Now, I don't eat/drink all of that every day all day like I used to, but I really do think you can still enjoy the…

I'm just frustrated with myself today. I've taken a long break from diet and exercise. Thankfully I didn't gain back *all* of the weight I've lost. I was 175 at first, got down to 160, but am back to 166. Not bad when you think about how long I've been slacking. (since July!) I'm still mad that I let myself take such a…

- I didn't hate myself today. - Didn't want to break the mirror when I looked at myself. - Did the entire workout, no breaks, step-for-step. - Allowed my husband to let his hands go wherever last night while being intimate. (Sorry if it's TMI but I've never let him do this, not even when I was pre-baby skinny. My…

I'm on day 4 of the GM Diet. I have yet to be hungry on this, on the contrary, I'm always full. I have already lost 7lbs, and I confess, I've cheated twice. (I have a hard time saying no to my homemade calzones & mac 'n' cheese, LOL!) The origins of the diet may be a hoax, they may not. But you can not deny all of the…

Thanks everyone! I've tried asking the hubs, but he sees me every day so it's hard for him to judge. LOL. And the number on the scale gets smaller and smaller, but it's nice to know my hard work is visible.

Ok, got them to show up. So.... what do you all think? *runs and hides*

What venom? People on here are giving OP their opinions and advice. If their responses seem venomous for you, then relax and take a step back to figure out why. And as always remember that what you think is right is not always going to be what everyone else thinks. It doesn't make them rude, evil, or automatically wrong…

Seeing this picture of myself: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii275/michelle_computer/after.jpg Knowing that not even 3 years ago I looked like this: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii275/michelle_computer/before.png

I still play MASH... o__0

OMG Skip-it! I freaking loved mine! How could I have forgotten!?

I'm near that time of the month too, and I just know I've put on some water weight. Yesterday was my weekly weigh-in, but since I knew I'd be a little heavier than normal I avoided the scale. And I confess I have fallen off the wagon due to it all, but am working like heck to get back on. I think staying on track is about…

I know some if not all of these have been said, but I just want to make my own list of things I remember: Pogs VCR's Sock'em boppers Pokemon Jolt cola Tamagotchi N64 Sega MTV actually playing music instead of lame reality shows. (I'm sorry if you like them, but I just cant stand what the **MUSIC** tv channel has become.)

I love Nutella, but it's SUPER sweet. I can barely eat a thin layer on a slice of toast. If you're looking for something to get yourself out of a breakfast rut try fruits, yogurt (Greek yogurt always fills me up faster than regular!) cereal, or oatmeal. I tend to drink breakfast shakes, but when I feel I'm in need of a…

I didn't really know either. But I have a big water bottle that holds 32oz and I try and drink at least 2 of those a day. So... 64. Which judging by the responses, is correct.

Hubby & I used to weigh close the same. We're both 5ft 3 though. He's got a skinny frame, and even though he's fit & muscular, he still looks tiny. I currently weight a LOT more than him, but obviously, am trying to correct that.

I feel this exact same way! I look at pictures of myself before having my son and go "WOW! I actually did look hot!" when the whole time back then I just had a horrible idea about how I looked. I'm hoping to get back to how I looked then. But to the OP's question... I have days were I think I look 'OK' and days were I…

The women who DON'T want to get gawked at, will dress accordingly. Clothes can be perfect for movement and keeping cool without looking scandalous. The women who DO want attention will of course dress so as to draw attention. IMO, those who dress to attract yet act surprised/annoyed at the attention probably don't want…

Congrats!!! I've lost 9lbs so far as well. I can see a small difference in myself when I look in the mirror and it's awesome. My major clothing victory is I am down from XL to a size L! I haven't had any smaller sized clothes in a while, since I've either been pregnant with my son or overweight. So I see a shopping trip in…

I've got this little reward system laid out for myself 5lbs: New shoes 10lbs: New Haircut or a manicure. Not sure yet. 25lbs: 1/2 of the tat I want to get Entire 45lbs: Second half of my tat

I think if I ever got a dog, I would get a standard poodle. I'm more of a cat person, but every poodle (no matter the 'size') I've met just seems so smart, well behaved, and just all around awesome. :happy:

**BEFORE YOU READ, there is edited swearing below... just a heads up.** ---To the annoying dieting know-it-alls: It's ridiculously annoying when you all try to tell people what works for you is what we ALL should be doing. So what if my cal intake setting is lower than yours? So what if I'm trying to loose 2lbs a week aka…

It's crazy isn't it? I don't even want to think about the calories I was eating before. I know though that my 1200 is so tiny compared to what it used to be. And I feel healthy and satisfied at the end of the day, instead of just full and uncomfortable. It's a real eyeopener when I compare the two lifestyles.

I'm only mildly active, and only 5'3", so I'm set at 1200 a day. It's actually pretty easy to do. After I work out I normally have around a grand daily total of 1500 calories. I eat back about half of my earned calories, but try and leave some left over. I find it's daunting at the beginning seeing such a 'small' number.…

Looking Good! Congrats!!!

Well, I'd *LOVE* to go to another Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, with my camera this time that is. And as for one I haven't been to: AFI & David Bowie. Not necessarily together, but it would definitely fill the "Dream Concert" title if that ever happened, lol!!

To all the people who stand around and watch me struggle with a heavy door while pushing a stroller: Thanks, idiots. It's not like I'm having a problem with holding the door open and getting my son's stroller through it. Throw manners out the window and don't bother holding the door for a woman/mother/another human being.…
