I'm so happy for you. It really takes a lot of courage to be open about an eating disorder. I'm really proud of you, and I'm glad that you have begun to like you for YOU. You are beautiful =)

I'm always looking for more friends, especially those in it for the long haul!! Feel free to add me!! I've been on MFP since January. Lisa

You look so fantastic! I would wear the bikini, I think it looks great!

Its a heart rate monitor. It measures your heart rate while exercising, and calories burned. =)

Hey, do you all have a HRM? If not how will you be logging this? I'm getting one on Amazon, but it hasn't gotten here yet.

I'm starting in the morning, so I'm in! Friend me if you would like =)

I've been doing the instructional videos on youtube for a few months. I absolutely love to belly dance. I am thinking of buying one of Sadie's videos and/or taking a local class.

Great job ladies, you all look fantastic!!

I'm was wondering also. I do know that alcohol is a diuretic, so it makes you pee a lot (which could potentially dehydrate you), also it makes you swell/bloat. I don't drink much or often, but I have often wondered if there was something else in addition to those reasons that I was missing.

Welcome! Feel free to add me, and good luck!

She's so beautiful. And I agree, she looks much better like this than all dolled up.

I'm a nurse, too. The four pounds in a day makes me think of water retention. How's your blood pressure? Are you having any noticeable edema? When I went back on my lisinopril-hctz, I lost 5lbs in like 3 days! I knew my hands were a tiny bit puffy, but didn't really notice how much fluid I was retaining. Also, I'm really…

@ceg2003 Yeah, muscle is heavier than fat. Nice abs btw!!

I'm 5'4.5" and started out at 163 before joining MFP. I have a small frame but a big booty and small chested. I'm currently at 147 and would like to get down to about 130-135. I was about 125 for years and was thin, but was not very active and no muscle mass. Now that I work out and am getting more muscular, I think…

Incredible! Way to go! You look gorgeous =)

WOW!
