bump to see if any of the morning crowd might have advice? =)

A-ha! Replies love to make liars out of you ;) Cute suits and you look great!
-
I can't see the pictures you posted but your profile pic shows awesome work! Congrats!
-
What a difference and what awesome shape you are in now! Very inspiring! =)
-
Great job! What a difference in one year! =)
-
Fabulous!
-
Amazing job! Your "after" is what I'm striving for since we have similar body types. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me! =)
-
Lol! Notice that my "girls" disappeared!
-
What a transformation! Great job! P.S. I like your high-waisted suits---I am looking for a "going out in public" suit and will probably choose one like that to cover up my stretch marks and tattoos =)
-
@Kat, you've made a huge change and look great! Love the white "after" suit---really flatters you!!!
-
Thank you Iansmommy =) Getting those awesome results from the Shred---Bravo! It makes such a difference to feel proud/comfortable in a bathing suit and while I am still self conscious and wouldn't wear the swimsuit in my pic in public, you look so great that I'm sure you'll have a fabulous and confident summer! =)

This. Also, you are correct that people "losing" on 1800 without a considerable amount of exercise or macro planning tend to have a lot more to lose and are farther from their goal. Like I said earlier, the reality is that, as you get closer to your goal, you must either increase your activity or decrease your calories to…

Look at those abs, arms and glutes! You look great and I bet you feel so proud!!! Congrats! I, too, am at my "goal weight" but excited to see what the next year of continued lifting and cardio can change appearance wise =) Thanks for the inspiration!

QFT. Also true with calorie burn---when we first start working out, our larger bodies burn more calories (bummer for those of us who are smaller now and don't burn as many even though we still work so hard!) and that allows you to have more cals. That was my whole point with my post; I am 50lbs smaller than I was and have…

I am 29, 5'5, 125lbs, (down from 178 at my highest non-pregnancy weight when I joined MFP 2.5 years ago) and I alternate between 2100ish and 1500ish (carb/calorie cycling) so I average about 1800 a day. I have maintained under 130 for at least 8 months doing this and continue to lose about a half a pound a month. I work…

Two words I didn't see anywhere which makes me think that you are either uneducated about them or left them out on purpose because they would debunk your theory: "water weight' and "glycogen stores."
-
Hang in there; I've been keto (cycled through carb-ups and am now carb backloading) for 3 months now. I realized that I cannot do true TKD without any carb "relief" days throughout so I found a way that works for me and have finally hit my goal weight (minus 10 vanity lbs since January thanks to keto). I LOVE LOVE LOVE…
-
I have sympathy for that "starting over' feeling----went through that most of my teenage/adult life until I got serious about logging 2 years ago on MFP and found an exercise program (biking and weight lifting) that I enjoy. I have reached my goal weight through many different methods and have an open diary. Feel free to…

Don't do this, unless you fit it into your extra calories after you eat real food like meat and vegetables. Fruits are so high sugar and there are many more filling ways to get nutrients that will not cause you to binge "the day after." You need to get into a healthy daily routine of eating, (ex: 2 eggs and a meat for…
-
I remember having this feeling throughout my life of having to "start over" again until I found MFP and really dedicated to logging (the good days and the bad days) every day. You CAN do it, and you can change your life *for good* if you have a plan and the willpower to accomplish it and take steps forward every single…
-
omg! that is so me, lol! I guess I'm "dirtier" than I original thought....
-
Lol. True story. I guess I am too stingy for daily poptarts. I save those calories for my weekend apple fritters. To each his/her own as long as they are being honest with themselves =)
-
Good point =) I meant to add that the same is true for most of the restrictive dieting threads, too, (ex: VLC, green coffee extract) but in my experience, if a person just "takes smaller portions" of the foods that used to make them overweight, then eventually those portions start creeping up again. However, if a person…
-
Oh the irony of reading this thread from the start and s5eeing the people like "oh, I eat what I want and I've already lost 30 lbs in (x amount of time)" then looking down to their ticker to see that they have *currently* only lost 5lbs (aka gained some back) or have been inactive for over 6 months. Obviously "eating…

I started today and am looking forward to doing the non-cardio toning (so about 3 times a week). I do a lot of biking and heavy lifting, so this is a new routine for me and I'm excited for the novelty and new challenges it will bring me! Feel free to add me as a friend! =)
-
I can totally relate---I am in a position of having lost 50 lbs (178 to 127) and now my relatives are telling me that I am too thin now that my size 4 jeans are getting baggy but I want to keep going until my goal of 120-125 so that I can have a little wiggle room for maintenance. I will agree with my relatives that my…
-
Great job! Thanks for sharing---I'm sure you will be very inspiring to other new moms!
-
What a great surprise! I love having "goal size pants" and periodically trying them on---so motivating! You'll be in the next size in no time! =)
-
What a difference! Congratulations and great work!
-
You have a similar torso comp as I do, which gives me inspiration for when I shed this last 2%bodyfat =) jennieodwyer and I were talking about how genetics come into play with abs and I think I will end up looking more like you than her, both of which would be AMAZING! =)
