You can't tighten the skin. You will need to have it removed. One thing that i found keeps my "belly fat" in check is watching carbs. For me lots of carbs=lots of belly

Congratulations!!! Zumba is tough!

You can add me. I'm 39 and always looking for new friends. The more the merrier!

Hi there!!

I am definitely addicted to pickles. So bad that once I eat ALL of the pickles ( I don't like to share them lol) I actually drink the juice...YUM!

Add me if you want. I've been on since January and I love it!!!

I had to adjust my calories because 1200 just wasn't enough. I was constantly hungry and tired. I would exercise and eat back the cals and that didn't help either so I had to make a change. I now allow 1400 cals and it seems to be working. If I am hungry after a workout i eat the cals back if not then I don't. I have lost…

Feel free to add me as a friend. Support and motivation is one of the greatest things about MFP! We are all here for the same reasons and we are all here for each other!

I have trouble there too! Let's be friends and motivate and support each other. I will be 40 in August and I am getting married exactly 1 month from tomorrow! I want to lose the weight to be able to be around for a long time for my wonderful fiance and my two wonderful children! Maybe together we can do this!!!!!

I also have close I can't wait to get into again and then see them get too big. I love MFP! All of the support and motivation is wonderful!

Do what you fel comfortable with. What works for some may not work for others. I see some that keep around 1200 and lose, I see some that eat under 1200 and lose, and I see some that eat more than 1200 and lose. Everyone is different. I was always hungry and cranky and tired on 1200 calories. I upped mine to 1400 and it…

I gained 10 pounds in a month without doing anything different. I went to the doc and sure enough...hypothyroid. I am on meds but it is still more difficult for me to lose. Don't get frustrated...just keep doing what you are doing. And have doc check thyroid and insulin resistance.... To open diary go to food then settings…

I agree! If you are looking at strictly weight loss then calories is what matters. I personally watch sodium too. I tend to hold on to water and the sodium doesn't help!

Hello and welcome! Add me if you want!!!

Thank you so much for sharing. I started at 207 in November of 2009. I am now at 173 and can't seem to get any lower. Hopefully MFP will help. My goal is 155 by May 20th but I hope to eventually get to 140ish. I also hope to get into a size 10. After reading your post i now have faith that if I continue with my exercise…

That's awesome! Good luck with all you do!!!

That's an awesome idea! I'm always looking for daily mini goals. They seem to work better for mel.

I teach kindergarten. I know exactly what you mean!!!!

1180

Yes...tomorrow is a new day! You can do it!!!!

I LOVE PIZZA!!!! That is why I finish it off.... BAD ME!!!!

Sodium is a kicker...gets me all the time!

Hi there! My baby will be 8 years old in April. I am finally ready to take off the baby weight. I gained weight with my first child and she is now 12. Then I gained again with my son who is turning 8. Feel free to add as I am always looking for new friends to help motivate and support.

I started in January. I hope to be in the success stories too. Feel free to add me for motivation and support!

The guy with me is my fiance...you can guess his age too if ya want :smile:

And reeniesing...I never would have guessed 40! You look great!
