me!! I'm still trying to figure it out. Eating every 2 hours works best for me, but then I have trouble staying within my calories. It's all a balancing act.

I do. You'll love it! I've met some of the most confident women in my classes regardless of their size or ability. Just be yourself and have fun.

Genetics play a huge role for some people and sometimes don't have anything to do with weight. 10 years ago (and 34 lbs ago) I weighed 104 lbs and my triglycerides were almost 800. Now I'm on 3 medications and within normal range even though I've been gaining weight. Hoping that as I lose weight and keep my numbers under…

I walked the Las Vegas Rock n Roll half marathon a few years ago. It took me 3 hours 45 minutes. I followed a half marathon running training program but walked instead. It is definitely doable.

Always comes off my boobs and butt first.

I have the fitbit one. I wear in on my bra, no one can see it. I love all the features. I sync it to my phone and my fitness pal and gives me extra insight into how I'm progressing during the day and how much I can eat.

What do you do for exercise? You are burning a lot of calories!!

I take 2-3 short walks around the block during the work day. I started doing this when I quit smoking a month ago as a way to still go outside and not smoke. An unexpected side effect is that it also helps me get over a hunger craving. Not only good for the body, but the mind too.

Why aren't HRM accurate for strength training. Don't they just count the calories you are burning during any given activity? I also use it for hiking and yoga. Just trying to learn and lose.

I've been using a heart rate monitor that tells me how many calories I burn.

I'm on day 32. The cravings are still really bad...and I want to eat EVERYTHING! I've gained about 2 lbs, but that was also over the holidays. I'm using the nicorette mini lozenges and they really help when a craving hits.

I've done this www.bountifulbaskets.com. It is $15.00 for a giant basket of fruits and veggies.

I'm 5', 130 lbs. Need to get down to 118 by the end of February so I can get into some work dress pants for a trade show.

I have this problem too. I would hit up the vending machine for breakfast and fast food for lunch (sometimes for dinner too). I have been shopping at Trader Joes and get the pre-made salads with chicken for lunch. The dates are usually good so I'll get one for everyday. For breakfast I throw 2 packets of oatmeal in my bag…

Thank you everyone!

Nexium has been a life saver for me. Every food would give me reflux and I was even throwing up in my sleep. Yeah, not fun to wake up to. I'm also lactose intolerant, I use the lactaid pills when I'm going to eat any dairy. Though I generally stay away from it. Your best bet would probably be going to see a GI dr.

I'm just about the same. 5' 126 lbs...want to lose about 20 lbs also. Feel free to add me.

aeropostle for jeans, I get them in the short size. Hem tape has become my new best friend for pants that need to be shortened quickly. I'm 5', but my legs are too long for petite sizes, but too short for regular sizes, so usually pants that are regular size but the "short" length works well. Old Navy petite shirts work…

I'm on Depo Provera and I didn't gain any weight when I started it. I have put on about 6 lbs in the last year, but that is due to poor eating and lack of exercise. Weight gain was a fear I had when I started it, but it was worth it to not have pain due to endometriosis.

I quit smoking for almost 2 years, started back up again unfortunately, but getting ready to quit again. When I quit I used Nicorette tablets (the mini ones) for about 3-4 months. Dum Dum lollipops and sunflowers seeds in the shell really helped with cravings. Might not be the best diet wise, but I figured that it was…

5' SW: 136 CW: 125 GW: 105-112 Goal Size: 4 pants small tops. Currently 6 pants and Medium tops. I just signed up for a bunch of classes through the city and will start training to run a 5K next week.

I use the C25K FREE app on my iphone. It tells you when to walk and run with a 5 minute warm up and cool down. I usually switch between the treadmill and outside depending on time of day and temperature. I'v only gotten about halfway through so far and I will be starting it over next week in hopes to be able to run a full…

Maybe try some new veggies that have the same texture as the ones you already like. You like green peppers, try red, yellow and orange. You like corn, try peas. You like green beans, try asparagus. There are a lot of veggies that I don't like, but if they are available and already cooked (like if I go to my parent's house…

Last Thanksgiving I used a smaller plate than everybody else. I didn't feel like I was depriving myself because my plate was full, but in actuality I was eating less than I normally would have.

I have weeks like that too, sometimes it seems like I eat junk for every meal. Then the next week I'll be so much better about my food choices. I don't have a lot of time to cook, sometimes just getting to the grocery store is hard. If I do have to go through a drivethrough for lunch or dinner, I'll get a kids meal. You'll…

5' 0" Currently 128-130 lbs - Pant Size 10 or 12 depending on the brand. Shirt Size small or Medium - right now mediums are more comfortable .

I'm also 5' with boobs and hips. I started out at 136 (size 12) I'm at 124 now (size 8/10). My first goal is to get to 112, ultimately I want to be a size 2-4 again which I think I'd need to be around 105 lbs. I was 95lbs until I was 21, that's when I felt my best.

I'm 5'. Currently 125 lbs, started out at 136. I had gotten down to 121 before xmas, but am gaining again. I have horrible self control and have trouble motivating myself.

I had a donut and a Wendy's Fish Sandwich Meal.....now I feel gross

I feel like crap today too. I had a protein bar for breakfast and soup & salad for lunch. Hoping to get the yucky feeling out!
