I haven't read all the comments. But it is amazing how much the faces change, like you wouldn't be able to recognize a person from many of the before and afters. Great work guys, I have to dig up some old pics and post.

Agree I was told 85% of weight loss is about calorie intake. Working out just tones everything. But I also find I eat more when I work out, my food cravings are insane. So I always gain weight when I go to the gym or work out. So I get fat when I work out lol So I focus on being active during the day, I clean a lot, chase…

One of the reasons I got a tubal instead of messing around with birth control. I had so many extreme side effects, one was water retention,bloat, and food cravings. I couldn't get the iud in me and stay. So tubal was the best for my health. I figured if I really want kids I plan and save for ivf. Then I know I am ready not…

Well there is also a fine line with lowering carbs with the whole weight loss process. I get really pissy when I don't have any carbs. One doctor put me on a low carb diet of 30grams a day another said no way! She laughed and said you lower them too much and you get cranky, moody, and you have no energy. Your body needs…

Good for you baby steps. Listen to your body. Welcome aboard!

That is nice to know since that is my best time of the month also.

For the side pockets on the hips and upper butt. - Get down on all fours like you are playing horsey with your kids. - Take one leg and keep the bend in it and lift it up 90 degrees and hold it a second and then back down. - Do 2 sets of 15. That will start to reduce some of that, you will feel the burn right there, squats…

You look great! So much happier. Keep it up lady.

Wow girl, keep it up. You are looking great!

Push ups start with your knees. Sit ups don't bother there are other ways to work abs, mainly on the ball. Also depending on your back and pelvis tilt sit ups can hurt your tailbone. Another reason why I can't do pilates. Get a ball and try various excersizes on that at least it is padded and more for balance. Good luck!

Lost 10 lbs and I have lost some. I was measured and fitted for a 38DD at my highest. They looked awesome but have to admit holding those babies up my shoulders were hurting. Now that 38DD bra is getting lose. I haven't bothered to get fitted but I know another 10lbs and I will definetly be back to 34 D. I am kind of…

I can understand how frustrating it is. Just to give you perspective. The calculator on this site has be at 1200 calories and much higher carb amounts. My doc 5 years ago(same weight 5'5" 160-170lbs) put me on a 1200 calorie diet with 40g of carbs a day. I could never do the 40g of carbs. But it was for the insulin…

You are older, your body changes constantly. What used to work might not work now, trial and error. I have noticed that even 5 years after my last attempt at weight loss. Just be patient. Who knows if you are fighting changing hormones, additional stress in general, thyroid etc. All those things play into weight loss.…

If you reduce your body fat and also add muscle in your chest and you still have them. There is a condition that can be treated with plastic surgery. You can have a 6 pack and still have man boobs. But you would have to wait till you lose enough body fat. I have seen it every guy has a different chest just like woman and…

Everyone also has some good point and I am not sure if this was mentioned. But are you on any other medications? Weight changes can modify how the medication reacts with your body. Something for all of us to keep in mind, even if we call the doc and say. Should I modify my prescription I just lost 30lbs?

I use 5htp instead of my anxiety meds. Works great, over the counter and I save the hassle of having to be labeled with anxiety and pay the doc to do something I can do myself. Without the side effects of prescription anti anxiety meds. My cravings are decreasing I can only assume because my nerves are not all over the…

Whoohoo congrats!
-
congrats! I hope I can keep at it. My doctor years ago told me I needed to be at 1200 calories yikes! My hardest part is when you make stuff from scratch it is hard to figure out calorie counts, so I have to wing it a lot. Hoping the 1200 pays off soon this sucks lol

Don't worry about pushing it. I will be honest and say that is one of the reasons I am loosing weight. With my ex he loved my curves, but I didn't feel comfortable in my body. In the bedroom I felt clumbsy, my thighs got in the way, it changes your anatomy down there (the ladies know what I am talking about) and it…

Wow good for you, you look great!

I work with kids for a living. They get what I feed them. It starts at home that life doesn't cater to their every whim. It is a good thing you are starting to eat cleaner and go organic. They will get hungry enough and eat what you give them eventually, they won't starve.

Metformin helped but I am not good at taking pills. Numerous studies are touting benefits to taking metformin for various reasons, not just PCOS patients. Lef is a great foundation and they really tout metformin as one of the top things to take over vitamins even. It really can't hurt, so go for it if your doc will…

If it is fairly predictable. Plan a week out maybe to cut your calories for the day short for 4-5 days. So you can eat your craving for a couple days. But if you are anything like me willpower will not trump those hormonal food cravings. lol So just go with it and don't beat yourself up. You can also bump your workouts to.…

Take baby steps and work your way to black. Took me a couple years because coffee black is an acquired taste.

Been there done that don't beat yourself up. I will tell you I have done online dating on and off for 12 years. Just like real life dating you will find tons of people that even if you get past the initial email introduction stage. That it fizzles off within days of talking or text. I am kinda in the same boat now, but I…

I totally agree with the trainer. When I worked out when I was in my best shape 15 years ago my thighs from even light squats and the treadmill looked hot but... Try finding pants that were a size 14-16 for a size 8-10 waist. At that rate nothing fit me well and I looked terrible in work clothes and jeans. Its real life…

Well I am there with you I can't do regular consistent excersize. The weather is way to cold up here and I just hate it. But there is an alternative. Clean your house! and work in the yard. If you stay moving and active you will be surprised you might not even have to WORK OUT. Ever notice how slender people are always on…
