I'm trying to lose another 30 by my 30th birthday, September 22nd, so I'm totally in.

Totally. People compliment me all the time, but I can't see it. I still feel 30 lbs heavier......

I'm a partial amputee (lost half my foot) and I still do it. I just modify when I can't do something (like jumping jacks). Just give it a go! You never know until you try!

Girls have this desire to judge other women to make themselves feel better. I'm friendly with everyone, but then again, I'm secure with myself. Girls have been raised, especially in ghetto areas to "hate" on other girls and belittle them. Sadly, for most, it's ingrained in them. I grew up in a fairly lower middle class…

Both high AND low. My HRM reads higher for walks, but lower for circuit training. Best bet is to get an HRM.... Amazon has the Polar Ft4, which I have, for $60! And it's awesome!

If I make myself do it, it relieves my cramps & bloat and gives me energy....

Don't burn 1200 calories unless you plan on eating at least 2400 calories in a day! Holy cow, your body needs fuel. Your NET cals should not fall below 1200 calories. If you exercise, try to keep it around 1500-1600 calories (intake). Otherwise, you're going to run out of fuel and find yourself binging like mad or…

FANTASTIC! I was born with spinabifida and have had serious problems resulting from it. I only have half my left foot left, but refuse to let it stop me. I walk, hike, jog, & exercise in whatever way I can. I applaud you for your determination!!! AMAZING!!!!

Fan-freakin-tastic. I looked like your before pic when I started and I'm 30 down.... good for you!!! Gives me a little kick in the *kitten*!

I'm glad you're so morally correct.

I have mine set so she can't see my posts unless she's tagged because I'm super vulgar!

Agree! My daughter has one at 10 and is closely monitored. She doesn't do anything besides post One Direction videos and tag her friends in silly pictures. You have to give kids some slack to live... if they feel deprived, they'll go behind your back. How else do they learn if they're not experiencing life? Just teach them…

^^^^ has been one of my friends for months.... since I joined mfp, in fact.... and she's been amazing. If this is truly who you were talking about, REMOVE FRIEND was the button you should've pushed. You don't have to like everyone, but don't rant on a public forum about someone who has done nothing but encourage people.…

I'm gifting myself a pin-up shoot when I hit goal. I also gift myself a small tattoo for every 15 lbs lost.

AND I forgot 'Play Crack the Sky' by Brand New.... dear god, I love them.

'Hate Me' gets me too! Also, The National Anthem gets me every damn time.... and Amazing Grace. AND Rod Kim's 'By Now'.... he's a friend of mine and it gets me teary eyed every damn time. OH! And Tim McGraw's 'Don't Take the Girl' and Blake Shelton's "The Baby'.... though I'm not a fan of country. AND Matt Woods' 'Dead…

Don't fret!!! You definitely have a defined waistline!!! It is really noticeable to me! Waist and hips are FOR SURE slimmer and more defined. Good for you!!! You're making amazing progress.

I feel the same way. I think if we lost a pant size, it would solidify it for us a bit....

OMG!!!!! Wow!!!

GORGEOUS!!! AND I LOOOOOOVEEEEE THAT NAVY BIRD DRESS!!!! Looks fantastic on you!

I have! I bought a ton of maxis the other day.... starting to look far less pregnant in them!!! haha

I'm 5'8, so yeah.... kinda tall..... PS- LOVE your default pic!

At least I got smart and am just going to wear maxi dresses all summer to keep me from buying clothes!

I typically walk/hike trails, 30DS, lift weights, dance.... AND ACTUALLY, I JUST ORDERED THAT BOOK YESTERDAY! Cannot wait to read it! I'm not frustrated, as I've always had hips and butt, but I just find it kinda "meh".....

I'm gonna end up looking like a pre-pubescent boy up top! HAHAHAHA

Psssssh! Boobs... gone! I wish I still had them!!!

Thank bejesus you guys have been there! It's killing me!!!!!

Wow doesn't describe it. LOVE this. Got me all misty-eyed.

Me too.... 10lbs down I lost everything up top! Glad I'm not alone!

I heard it does, indeed, work! But there's some details you're missing. You have to also eat a 3 lbs burger and a pint of Ben & Jerry's 'Phish Food' while wearing said bacon AND have Sarah Maclachlan playing in the background. It's full-proof. Don't forget the Sarah Maclachlan music. It's 73% of the process.
