You look great!

Okay, so maintenance is 2140 without nursing. You dont want to effect milk production, my suggestion is to eat ate maintanence + 250. You still have some weight to go and if you find you are very hungry you can bump it up. If you dont lose any yu can drop it down. I never lost a ton breast feeding. Some bodies want to hold…

Cleaned my house! Oh, wait...health related...i ate really healthy options today and feel good about myself. :)

What is your weight and calorie intake. How much have you lost and how quickly? I ask this becasue these are all signs of anorexia. Fatigue, lack of period, fine hair growth on body, hormone issues... You may be seriously undereating. If you are not, the next possible thing that pops in my head is hormone issues. Your…

Drink water, eat low cal foods, like celery, pickles... I can do a green salad with lemon juice, too. Sometimes, I just need to chew, so gum helps. If you stay constantly hungry over time, you may need to adjust yr calories to a higher level to satisfy your body.

I too have a hig butt and cannot lie...hehehe I have a 29/30 inch waist and 41 inch hips. I also have full thighs. I always get some with a nit of stretch, so I can wear the size that fits all over best. I love nine west, some tommy hilfiger, i just got some liz claiborn, and lucky. Sometimes Costco carries lucky and liz.…

Wonderful post! Great job keeping yourself accountable. I totally understand not knowing what you may be eating in foreign countries. I lived in Japan for three years. At times, I just thought :"this is food" and went with it! Lol Your 20yearsofmadness looks interesting too.

Great! It is nice to feel our new lifestyle shining through!

Wonderful!

All my previously too small jeans have passed fitting and are sagging. Today, at COSTCO, dh told me grab a pair. Cannot try them on there, so I grabbed an 8. Figured they would fit eventually. Came home...andthey fit now! EEEK! I have a little bit of muffin top, but a few months ago, the would not have gone over my thighs…

Sounds like bloating. Time of month, sodium from fast food, increased exercise, need to poop? Dont stress. Just keep doing the right things. :)

Great job sweetie!

This whole list makes me nod and smile!

Dong a small one. 25 dollars. Only three people right now startes monday. Called march melt away. It is my first one. I figure we will probably only win back our own, but it is my first try at how they work! Lol

I shop thrift stores. I my area, Goodwill is oretty good. I can get jeans for under 10 dollars, often with tags! I dont feel a bit bad taking them back to donate later either! Lol

The scale is great to get us in the right area and direction, but doesnt tell us everything. BMI is a suggestion for appropriate weight. Finding your LBM is YOU SPECIFIC! It is like saying you need glasses, here is a pair that works for many people. Hey, these dont work for me. Hmmm,this chart says they should....in comes…

Once a week, i have a single meal out to eat, but try to not go over by more than 200 cals for the day. Very reasonable, for me. Once a month, i have a day i just let it go and have junk. It is,in my mind, how life can be and I need to learn to fit in fast food and celebraions. I have to be aware of the calories in french…

It is not only okay, but a necessity to make yourself a priority!

Do not think of this as a diet. This is a life change. You need to think of it as the way you plan to live from now on. Unless you plan to never snack again, or never eat a treat, it is important to learn to work them in and learn to account for them. This post was helpful to me.…

This is a great post on how to get going and answers a lot of questions. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1175494-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

You can add a weight loss tracker under settings and profile. Is that what you are asking?

You are starting in the right place! I tell all of my in real life friends to get a food scale and log everything in a normal week for one full week. You will be shocked. I was. Then use a TDEE calculator on line. lots of people recommend the scooby one. This tells you what you need to eat and can suggest a good amount of…

It takes more calories to run a body that is larger or denser.

I only drink vodka and water with a lime. I alternate with water. Keeps the calories down, keeps you hydrated too. Enjoy your night out and log it!

If you are in recovery, I would suggest thinking about getting stronger. You lost a lot of muscle mass while ill. Think about learning to lift some weights and eat in moderation. It seems recovery is often about making everyone happy by gaining weight, not by learning to eat healthy foods in the right portions. If you can,…

Look in groups. There is a JUDDD group. There are also groups for 5:2 and such.

Forgot dill pickles. 0 cals and crunchy and help with snacking!

Amazing!

You are in the middle of carb flu and caffeine withdraw. One of those is horrible alone. Both at the same time, you will feel like death. Add some carbs to your food. Add some multi grain crakers to lunch. Add a baked potato or sweet potato. Drink tea or coffee to help with the soda withdraw. It takes about two full weeks…
