It absolutely is exercise but i wouldnt log it either. If i did, i would use half the time at the slowest speed.

I hear what you're saying. I'm 5'5 and 150 lbs with a medium frame. Im happy with what i look like. I have a pretty good amount of muscle, not too much fat and wear a size 6. My goal is 140. I am positive that I could go lower if i wanted to but i'm not willing to put in the work to do it. I'm okay with not being super…

Yep, thats my plan. I have about 10 lbs left to goal and i'm happy to maintain until January!

Nope. If it were me, i wouldnt consider surgery until i knew that i had tried my very hardest doing it on my own. You said you have not. I started at a 46 BMI and now i'm at 25. You can do this.

Buffalo here! Use to live in NYC and when people found out i was from buffalo they wanted to know if everyone has a farm in Buffalo and if the roosters are our alarm clocks every morning :ohwell:

No, mine is like clockwork. Have you taken a pregnancy test? Were you always regular before?

No. Once im in maintenance i wont be counting exact cals. Im sure i will by eyeballing it because thats just been my life for 2 years now. I think i've got the tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle now. If i find the scale creeping up a few pounds I will start counting again.

Loved your tips Sue! And its a refreshing post from the "Eat whatever you want, it's only one day" posts. I dont think either opinion is "wrong". Do whatever will work for you. I'm not going to let myself eat everything in sight. Im too close to goal for that and I know it will make me feel sick. I'll still enjoy the day…

Thank you Kelly! Great job yourself lady!!

Thanks girlfriend! Right back at ya :flowerforyou:

Totally agree. I know that i have quite a bit of muscle and weigh more than most people think. I wear a size 6 and am 150 lbs. I think anything lower than 140 may start causing loss of muscle for me. This is me the other day at 150 lbs. I think i look to be in a healthy range. Honestly if i lost 30 lbs im not sure it would…

Well i guess that settles it then. I'll never have a flat stomach then because i refuse to count or cut back carbs. That's okay, i'm good with my flat-TER tummy :smile:

I feel like my goal of 140 is so high compared to most of these. :blushing:

I dont have pictures but i know what you mean. Mine still hangs a little bit but has shrunk A LOT from when i first started. I have seen how much its shrunk so i have hope that it will be gone one day. Or at least almost gone. Just keep on lowering body fat and eventually it will get better.

I'm 5'5 150 lbs. Want to get to about 140. I'm averaging about 1500 cals a day.

Just updating again. 5'5 150 lbs 35-27-38

A frozen grape?

Thank you! I'm 5'5. I think I carry a decent amount of muscle.

Thank you! It will be 2 yrs in February. I am Hoping to hit goal or at least be close (about 10 more lbs) by then.

Awesome difference! FWIW, I dont consider 3 lbs a month slow either. I'm lucky if i lose 2 a month. I'll take your 3 LOL! But yes, thanks for the pics, i never realized how different 10 lbs could look!

Me! Sorry, just realized you asked for pics so here are 2. First at 277 lbs, the second at 150. No shakes or pills. Just calorie counting and moving more.

I did. I lost 60 exactly in 6 months. But i also started at 277 lbs. The next 60 took almost a year. Depends where you're starting at. If you only have 60 to lose you probably wont be able to do it (healthy anyways).

I rely a lot on Avocado, beans, nuts and green veggies.

I'm 5'5 and started at 277. Im now 150. Honestly i do not have much skin at all. I have been very lucky. I have a little on my upper inner thighs, thats it so far. It's all about genetics but the loose skin is better than the fat any day!

Thank you ma'am :)

I hear ya girl. Started at 277. Anything in the 1's was good enough to make me happy. I'm now 150 and am anxious to get to goal at about 140 but i'm just happy as can be where i'm at so if it takes another year thats fine by me!

This is how I feel. I'm 5'5 and weigh 150 right now. I wear a size 6 and do not have much fat on me. My goal is set for 140, I honestly do not think much lower than that would work for me. I think if i went much lower I would start losing lean muscle mass to be honest. But sometimes i do think my goal is too high when i…

Guess I just don't see the big deal In her wanting to make lower calorie thanksgiving options. Who's it hurting? Are you eating at her house? Shrug.

LOL, I read this thread and was wondering how long it would take for the "its only one day, eat what you want" replies would take. First reply. Anyways, I agree with you OP. If there are ways to make things lower calorie/fat i'm all about it. Sure i will eat more than normal on Thanksgiving but I also dont want to wipe out…

I'm 5'5. My goal is about 140. 10 more to go!
