- How self conscious you start to feel when you know everyone is looking at you (because they can't stop saying how great you look now that you've lost weight) - How stressful it is to maintain weight - How easy it is to gain weight - At a certain weight, it's not really greener on the other side - Buying jeans in a size 8…

Meal replacement. Good job, although, I'm not a fan of any meal replacement. You look super in the before pic too!
-
You look GREAT!!! I have a friend that is 4'11" - 5'0" and I see how hard she has worked to recover from baby and I really do feel for you guys who are shorter. Every ounce counts!! If people heard this, I'm sure they would say 12 lbs is no big deal, but to see those 12 lbs in action, well you look great...and…

I'm 5'8" and 168 lbs and I'm here to tell you, those weights are paying off!! Your figure is WAY better than mine :) Keep up the hard work and remember the scale is just a number, especially when you're working out. Great job on your loss. You look fabulous!

I felt the same way when I finally grew out of their store. They are so damn expensive!!
-
Fantastic young lady!!! You are tall....and although being tall isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be (at least for me!), in weight loss it really is a blessing!!!!! Those pics are night and DAY!!! Keep doing what you are doing and get to the goal that makes you happy. *shakes head* Looks fab at 200 lbs :) Wouldn't I…

You look GREAT!!!!!! I mean, really good :) I hate it when doctor's say you should weight XX lbs. It's really dumb. I mean, if you started lifting weights today, you could gain a few pounds and look 15 lbs thinner! As you get close to your goal weight, that weight really is just a number. Either way, I wish you the best of…

I've lost about 100 lbs too. My top weight was 295, but I didn't start counting weight loss there. I started counting at 268. So, we were sort of close in weight at one time. Anyway, it gets frustrating to lose 100 lbs and not look like you want to. And it gets frustrating to see young ladies who lose 80 lbs and have a…

Don't be afraid to stay focused on diet and exercise. I frequently apologize when I start talking about food or exercise with people and just say, "I know it gets boring hearing about this sometimes, but I have to talk about it or I'll go back to my old ways. Thank you for listening. Your support helps me stay on track."…

That is fascinating!! Do you live somewhere wonderful where it doesn't get to be freezing all winter? Cycling is GREAT!
-
Um....wow. I'm sure you've read that 50 thousand times. Great job overcoming the obstacles in your way and making it happen!! You look FABULOUS!

Can I just tell ya, I'm on day 4 of not working out and I feel guilty as hell. I need to get back to it too. This Christmas prep is killing me!

Yes, you'll need to spend about $100 to get a quality, accurate HRM. I have stopped to check my HR several times and my HRM is always spot on. Here's mine. $128 bucks with free shipping. If you're going to spend the money, might as well be on something that works!! http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/polar-ft60.html All 28…

Thank you to everyone for the suggestions and the compliments!!! I've gotten SEVERAL ideas from this thread and also quite a few chuckles. I guess buying jeans in just one of those things we all have to suffer through no matter what size! Tomorrow is another new day and I hope to get out to the mall on a mission!!!!
-
Awwww....that sucks. I'm sorry you are feeling down. I just posted on another thread that I get down sometimes too. A healthy eating and exercise plan is hard work to track and maintain!! I can only suggest something new, which is what works for me. New athletic shoes, new running pants, new light up thingee so I don't get…
-
Yes, actually. If you have trouble staying on a lower calorie diet around the holidays, then don't. Eat your required daily calories (whatever you would burn being sedentary plus most of your exercise calories). Keep working out. Actually, crossfiting and eating all your calories is probably great for muscle building!!!…
-
lol at your post! I can see that is must be frustrating. I don't have a significant other, but I work with lots of men and some of them just eat and eat and eat. A close male friend of mine will do that to me he'll say, "No milkshake for you!" I love the guy, so I let him slide, because he really has kept me on track…
-
I dislike rude people very much. Especially people that try to impose their diet knowledge on me. People know I'm on a diet, obviously they see me losing and they make really stupid comments one way or the other. "You're wasting away," (I think that's a compliment), "You shouldn't eat fruit, it's too high in sugar,"…

Here's the thing, your family is not your doctor. If the doctor says eat XXX calories to breast feed, then that's what you need to do. I'm sure you can ask him if you can eat a couple hundred less calories a day and breast feed too! I've lost 90 lbs and my family and friends still try to tell me how/what to eat. Now I look…
-
Awesome!!! Funny....I just posted a topic about jeans lol :) Great job. It must feel wonderful to hit your goal. My original goal is only 12.5 lbs away. It's so close, but feels just as impossible as the first pounds did. I know I'll get there eventually....keep up the good work and post up some before and afters when…

When I first started depo about a year and a half ago, I gained quite a bit back that I had lost. HOWEVER, I was not tracking my calories, nor was I exercising regularly. Now that I am, weight is coming off at the expected rate of 1-2 lbs a week. I can tell you this, usually the two days following my injection I get…

My hair started thinning on top of my head when I was in my late 20's and early 30's. It's pretty bad now and I hate it. I usually wear it up or wear a hat. Sometimes, I'll wear it down and just feel self conscious. It's just one of those things that cannot be fixed with me. Went to the specialist and all. Thin hair is my…

I remember blogging a while back about being SO excited when I ran a mile in two 1/2 mile increments, then when I "ran" an entire mile in 14 minutes. Now, about 5 years later and a total of 90 lbs down, I can run 10.5 minute miles and can keep that up for 3 or 4 miles. If I slow down, I can do 6-10....so I'd say…

Not that this is the greatest work of science, but P90x has a "recovery week" every 4th week. Pretty much the recovery week is a cardio/yoga/stretch week. I look forward to those weeks. I'm on Week 10 :) Good luck! Just get back to it as soon as you can!!

I can only tell you what I have. I have a Polar FT60. It is water resistant, so you can swim with it on and there's no issues when you are drenched in sweat. I find that although it cannot predict EXACTLY what I burn, over time, I have learned to use the hrm to gauge how hard a workout is for me. Now I know that when I'm…
-
I feel your pain. I wish I had a solution for you. I've lost 90 lbs and I've gone from being round to being a pear! A PEAR!!?? I never imagined that was my shape. Everything else is thinning out, except my butt, hips and thighs. As far as I know, the only solution is to lower my body fat overall. So...consider that in…
-
Hell yes! That was totally worth it!!!
-
I am so proud of you! Great job for taking control so early. I wish I had seen what I needed to do back then, but didn't. I just partied and ate. Fabulous. You will have a much more healthy life because of it!
-
Dude. You look like you could kick some *kitten*!

I'm sorry...I'm rotflmao...somebody said size 12 was FAT???? BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
