You look great! You can really see it in your belly. I looked at the pics first and then your stats, I was shocked that it was only 6 pounds, I'm guessing you gained a lot of muscle! So inspiring.

BUMP, I am planning on shopping for one this weekend. I hold mine down and do "1/2" jumping jacks! But I'm also a big girl, so my size around isn't common either! :( I've looked up some of these suggestions and they don't come in my size. I'm so scared to shell out $60 to find it doesn't work or fit!

SOOO awesome! Congrats!

Thanks I'll check it out. I did see one when I was looking around that said a large # for pressure, but I didn't know how "pressure" related back to my weight and how much pressure it would cause.

So awesome! Great NSV! (I am NOT an alcoholic, but last night several of the same "little" things were going on in my home and I DID pick up a drink! - Wish I would have worked out instead!)

I honestly have no clue what machines are called that I work when I go to the gym. I never log strength training because of that and when I did try to log some it didn't show calories. I thought maybe that meant that "those calories" didn't count. I know it sounds dumb, but I knew I did it so I guess that was good enough…

You don't know how many times over the years I'd see a large woman and ask my husband "do I look as big as her". Part of it was I didn't want to be that big, but part of it was I would just look at everyone and could never figure out if I looked that big. I knew I was big (never as big as I am now), but I couldn't tell how…

Bump great ideas!

Really, it's hard to narrow it down! Ryan Gossling, Patrick Dempsy, Ryan Reynolds, Gerard Butler, Shemar Moore, Josh Lucas, oh and Jennifer Aniston! :)

I have it, I've only done it a few times though. I have the Zumba videos too and tend to do those instead. I struggle with the wii because I find I usually end up being competitive about the points instead of just doing it and having fun. I know I don't do it right all the time, and I don't like that it tells me everytime…

^^^ this!! You look great. :smile:

I have a larger frame (and larger breasts), but would like to see the 150's. Right now though, I'd be happy with 1anything! :laugh:

Good Job! I bet that feels awesome!

Read labels. When you're picking your foods and deciding on brands, make sure to look at the fiber too. I put chia seeds in my yogurt every morning and eat beans, I never realized how much fiber was in them until I started tracking!

Thanks for all the suggestions! I wouldn't say I'm an addict, but sometimes you just want that light, smooth, moist creamyness. (is that a word?) Ketchup is too sugary and mustard is strong flavored and not moist seeming to me. I've basically switched to just mustard because it doesn't have the calories or fat but I'm not…

I have had Mirena for 2 years now, I use it for regulation not b/c. I LOVE it. I rarely if ever have a period, it did take about 6 months for them to get to that point though. I don't have any side effects. When it's time to replace, I plan on getting it again.

bump. love reading this, gotta finish it later.

You need to eat more fiber. The first time I was told to eat more fiber I thought that person was CRAZY!! I thought it would make more go more. Then I discussed it with my Dr and he explained that fiber will absorb the excess liquid and help make it more solid and easier to control. I increased my fiber and it totally is…

Check out pinterest.com all kinds of recipes and fitness things are pinned on there (lots and lots of other things too) Warning: it's addicting

If you get too much protein it can also cause (very painful) constipation. Greek yogurt and cottage cheese both have about 12 grams per serving though. :)

I had a subway foot long the other day and I was able to put in .5 and it counted half the info instead of all. I ate half one day and half the next. Have you tried that?
