  • I've lost about 20 pounds, and I went from a 38DD to a 36 full C.
  • I used to do the low carb, and all other crazy sorts of diets and it never ended well. You don't need to give up your favorite foods to lose weight. Today, I had pizza and ice cream and I didn't go over my calories/macros. No food should be off limits. It's all about finding balance and eating in moderation.
  • I made cauliflower "fried rice" the other day. You cut up a head of cauliflower and put it into your food processor or blender, and pulse it until you get a grainy consistency. Put that into a big pan, and heat it up with some mixed vegetables, low sodium soy sauce and an egg. I cooked up some teriyaki chicken (cut up…
  • My mom's weight fluctuated a ton growing up. Before she had my brother and I, she was probably about 120 pounds and very fit. Somewhere between then and now she let herself go.

CW: 171, 5'2" Bust: 38 Waist: 27 Hips: 37 I heard ratios were the best way to gauge health, but I could be waaaay off. This is all (fairly) new to me.
  • This was definitely and eye opener. I picked the 7th one and ended up being the 2nd. I'm 25% smaller than I thought I was. I always knew I thought I was bigger than I am (buying clothes in old sizes thinking I'm still that size, only to get home and try it on and have it be a size or two too big), but I didn't think it was…
