5'4.5" SW: 220 lbs CW: 142 lbs (145-150 was my GW) Pics can be seen in profile :D

I've been taking pre-workout supplements for a while. My current so happens to be C4 extreme (strawberry margarita). It actually doesn't have a strong enough kick for me. I prefer Mesomorph or Nitro NCG. Since this seems to be your first experience with pre-workout, it will likely pack a decent punch for you. I like to…

May I suggest doing body weight exercises instead? You can get some good cardio with burpees, jump squats, jump lunges, exploding jacks, etc. And it's FREE!!! Good luck :)

I feel ya!!! I went from a DD to a C with my weight loss and I HATE my boobs now. I really, really want a boob job (I'd be happy with C's but I want them full and perky!!) but unless I make a gofundme account and people are dumb enough to donate to such an arbitrary cause I'll be sticking to padded, push-up bras. Yay for…

This is the plan I used to help me drop 78 lbs: BREAKFAST: *Pair a carb w/ a protein (any combination) CARBS: ¼ c. oatmeal ¼ c. cream of wheat 1 piece of toast 1 mini whole-wheat bagel 1/2 banana or small piece of fruit 2 c. grapes 1 slice ezekeal bread (Trust me, you want to toast this!) 1 whole wheat waffle or pancake…

Ooooohhhh Thank you!! It is now added to my favs :)

Totally cried when I read this!!!! So relatable. Congrats girl!!!

Y'all ever grilled a PB& J? If you haven't, you should....Just sayin'

I hope you keep right on running!!!! I have been the obese person on the trail feeling incredibly 'judged' and insecure. I am now one of the fit people on the trail and I would never have gotten there if I let my own fears and insecurities keep me away. Looking back I realize that I probably wasn't judged at all..except…

That would've been helpful 78 lbs ago....

This is the single most hilarious thing I've ever read on MFP... OMG!!!! I'm dying here!!!

You could volunteer. Whether it's working in a local soup kitchen, helping a senior who needs extra help cleaning his yard, or building a house for Habitat for Humanity, you can turn your date into an active time that does some good. Go dancing. It doesn't matter if you turn up the tunes at home or hit a local dance club…

You should actually go have your body fat measured. It gives a way more accurate depiction of muscle mass/body fat. I'll put it like this: My BMI is 24.4. My body fat percentage is 20%. :D

5'4.5", 30 years old. Workout 5-6x/week for an hour/hour and a half. Heavy Lifting, Cardio, HIIT. I eat 1700-1900 calories day. I weigh 142 lbs.

That is outstanding!!! I got quite large after getting out of the military too. Highest weight: 220 lbs. CW:142 lbs :D

I now realize that I need a Veggetti (sp?) or spiralizer in my life!!!! Thanks guys!

I was in basic combat training for the United States Army.

With a 100 lb weight loss you will more than likely have some loose skin. However, if you lose the weight slowly (1-2lbs/week) and incorporate strength training you will not have nearly the amount of loose skin as you would if you lose the weight too rapidly or lose lots of muscle mass. I lost 77 lbs and only have a little…

I had a few comments here and there when I was bigger, but it's worse now that I'm healthy. I have been asked, "Wow. So did you do crack or was it meth?" I've been told, "Well, you've got to start eating again at some point." Um, I eat 5-6 times a day..it's just healthy most of the time. "You exercise too much; you're…

Hey Hon, I started out at 220 and am now 144 :) I'll message you for a friend request. You can do this!!!
