Both of these are really good advice. I also think that when you are truly ready, be it 2 weeks or 6 months from now, you'll manage to eat around your goal. It's already a great thing that you are keeping yourself accountable by logging. You'll get there :)

Well, honestly being between 300 and 1000 max per day over the last two weeks... You seriously need to eat more. You definitely aren't getting enough energy for your workouts and eating so little is likely counterproductive. You have to remember that you have to keep "dieting" for a long while to get the weight loss you…

What annoys me a lot is the fact that I didn't enjoy being thin when I was younger. I always thought I had this or that flaw back then. When I gained quite a lot of weight a few years ago, I realized how silly I had been to focus on these supposed flaws I thought I had. If and when I manage to get to my goal weight, I will…

for everything I was able to make for myself, for everything I ever learned the tears and the laughs. for life, i did it my way and i'm finally proud. it took me a long time to get to where i am right now and to be able to say this. And I'm thankful to those who helped me along the way by sharing even the smallest…

That sounds like a very reasonnable idea to me. You can also try more short term goals if it helps (ie 2 pounds off by the end of january...) But as said before, don't forget to enjoy life :)

I know exactly what you mean.... my dad is like that, it's unbearable especially since my weight gain was medication related... oh well, sometimes there really is nothing more to say I guess. Have a great new year's eve :)

lol that's so funny!

I was thinking the exact same thing :)

For mascaras, I would really find it hard to recommend something in particular since everyone seems to like one over another depending on what they're looking for and how their lashes are. As far as lipstick though if you need the colour not to budge as you said, and I'm agreeing with some people here, go for a lip stain.…

wow winner!!!

Yes!! I've never heard something about the over the knee thing either

You look great!! Congratulations, I'm really happy for you :)

:)

This is all really inspiring, must be a great feeling finally reaching the goal weight, congrats!!!

thanks a lot, looks great!

Really great results! congrats :)

LOL Hopefully none of these reviews is for real?

Pineapple (frozen) and strawberry (fresh) about half of each. I add a little water for texture and a little sugar to get the right taste back. You could use sweetener instead of course.

Wow this sounds really good!! What dressing do you like to use?

That, and once a girl who asked me tons of questions via message and never once thanked me for my detailed replies... That one pissed me off!

I like the idea of the infinity symbol on the wrist. I find it beautiful, and it can be done relatively small so it would fit there, it's rather discreet too. So of course it doesn't mean strenght exactly, but you could look at it as infinite strenght :)

I think a good idea too would be to use a breast firming lotion or oil during your weight loss. This is the crucial moment to use these I think, to prevent sagging. Because once the damage is done lotions can't really work miracles then unfortunately :(

Je pense qu'un psychothérapeute comportementaliste serait la meilleure aide dans ton cas. aftcc.org pour la liste des thérapeutes en France. Bon courage, tu vas t'en sortir :)

I'm a pescetarian (but don't eat that much fish so call myself a vegetarian) and I got to say that that doesn't necessaraily mean eating more vegetables for me, since there are a few I like the taste of. Sure I eat those, and I don't eat as unheathily as your sister in law but I just want to point out that being a…

If I start seeing a loss, I wait to see the same number three days in a row and then I log it. I know that otherwise it can be a variation.... so I would suggest waiting a little, but as others said, it does depend on how often you record your losses.

I understand your worries. But I think the more you log on MFP during your weight loss phase, the more it'll help you to instinctively know what's low calorie and what's not. By the time you reach your goal, you'll probably have found a lot more foods that you like that are lower calorie. Another thing, even during my…

Really incredible and amazing achievement. You probably saved your life on this journey too. You truly are an inspiration to everyone here I believe.

Very true, and the movie was great too. Other faves of mine are "The cigarette girl" by Carol Wolper, as well as her other books, and "Momzillas" by Jill Kargman (but I do love chicklit lol)

I got my first last August, 3 butterflies on lower back, left side. Planning on getting another one next summer... but then i think i'll leave it at that, since i wanna keep mine "hidden" anyway :)

Do your thing.
