My favorite gif ever!

^this. And if directness or non-sugar coated answers make someone leave the site and go back to his/her bad habits, then he/she more than likely wouldn't have succeeded in keeping the weight off anyway.

Well said. Here's a cat gif.

No one can really tell you this. It depends on your genetic makeup, among other things. Results vary widely, especially if you take into consideration how consistently you work out, if you push reps to failure, etc.

I've only read the original post, so I am basing my response on that alone. NOT TRUE. Investing in a proper sports bra is the key. The first time I ran more than a mile, I actually bruised my boobs. Yes, it was painful. And I was layering two sports bras. But now I've invested about $200 into better ones, and I haven't had…

Love the shirt. And you are adorable. :happy:

I am sooooo happy you're back!!! You continue to inspire me, my friend...looking stunning and STRONG!!! :heart:

I love you, Amber. You constantly amaze me with what you overcome. :heart:

^Exactly. Also, you sound like you have PPD. My kids are 3 and almost 5 and I'm still dealing with it. If you have insurance, maybe look into some treatment options for this...it'll help, believe me.

TIL that a $700 blouse is not an overpriced and asinine way for one to spend money, but is in fact motivational and supportive. I am rejoicing from the gloriousness of it all.

The answer to your question is no.

^^This. From the photos I see, you look amazing and don't need to lose a pound, IMO. Also, here's some advice - throw out your scale and tell your mom you weigh 125. Problem solved.

1. I am able to engage in portion control 2. I've made some amazing online and IRL friends 3. I LOVE to work out, and I get to exercise every day now

This. And I also agree with "do what you do and be happy." You really can't please everyone. Love your new husband, love your kids, love yourself. Try not to dwell on past choices...it's all in the past and there's not a thing you can do to change it. Best of luck to you. :flowerforyou:

You might want to update your look a little bit. It's so...80s.

Wow. You must be fun at parties.

OMG...*SNORTlaugh*

The part I bolded stands out to me. It sounds like when an emotionally abused woman "stands by her man" with the words, "Well, he's never actually hit me." I was one of those women many years ago. Guess what? He pushed me twice, but never really hit me. Our relationship ended 14 years ago, but last year he served 90 days…

NOPE!!!! *WHACK* Foul ball!

Mine, toooooo :cry:

OP, many of us have been on MFP for a long time, and now our periods have synced up. So we're all starting shark week and are raging b*tches in the forums. Sorry you've been caught in the crimson tide of snark this afternoon. Best wishes on your journey. :flowerforyou:

And that vanilla frozen yogurt is surprisingly good!!

You sure told them!!

Why would that jump start weight loss?

120

Why are people bumping this old thread?

"It's only too late if you're dead." Truer words have never been written. You're 18 years old. Your life has barely even begun, so it's definitely not too late.

You've gotten great advice here, so I need not add anything else. Best of luck with your recovery! :flowerforyou:

Before, hot. After, SMOKING HOT. Keep lifting those heavy weights, they seem to be agreeing with you. Or something. :heart:
