Hmmm.... Intellect!

Snow White: amazing bone structure!

Figure out ur size in those jeans and surf eBay or used cloth stores. U might be able to get them for a deal

Yep, all the time. I just work out a lot to ensure it stays off. I try not to focus on the daily numbers and focus more on weekly numbers. That allows me "cheat" meals. Besides, it's not about denial... it's about moderation...

Wow! Amazing!!

Wow girl! U look amazing!

4'10.5". Ultimately have a goal of 110 but I'm feeling pretty good at 116 right now. It's amazing how pregnancy and child birth really changes how and where you carry your weight. Good luck towards your goals everyone!

I'm a little concerned about what your seven year old is learning both directly and indirectly from your husband. Remember, you said yourself that he got his obsession from his family. He may not see it, but professional help may be needed to break the cycle. Best of luck!

Some campuses have cheap healthcare through their campus medical clinic. Some also offer student health insurance. Or u can try to find a clinic w a sliding scale fee. Some places are better to students w their sliding scale then others. I'm sorry to hear about ur knee. I hope u find some care!

Mis-cited darn autocorrect!

The originally research is highly mid-cited by people. Starvation mode occurs when u drop below 50% of minimum body caloric requirements and means that ur metabolism slows down to try to conserve body mass. Slows down NOT stop and goes in reverse. Ie, u lose weight more slowly. 1200 was a non scientific number that is…

Sometimes certain people in our lives will never be the person u want them to be. Especially family as we don't get to pick them. Instead surround yourself w people that CAN support u and treat u well. Make them ur family. Good luck! Edited to fix bad spellcheck correction

Mom of one. I've gotten down to just shy of my goal weight but very happy with my body. Put a couple of pounds back on and I'm not happy anymore. But I have faith that I'll get back there :). Is my body the same as pre-baby. Heck no! But when I'm at the good spot, defiantly happy with my body. Not to say I don't have bad…

Darn our inability to spot reduce! I know they make belly bands out there that are suppose to help tighten skin back up but I'm skeptical that they really work. I found weight loss makes the belly stuff go away. However, my belly was never fully the same after childbirth. I never use to carry weight in my middle when I…

Sounds to me like they think u need a higher level of care. Remember if u only went to one appointment w each individual then it was likely only an intake. Ie they are gathering information for a recommendation. If u truly have an eating disorder, the college counseling center my refer u out as it may not be equip to give…

And try to see a psychologist bs a psychiatrist or counselor (usually a masters level psychology major or social worker) if uve been to the other two, it would explain ur referrals as they may not be equips to take care of a eating disorder if that's what ur seeking treatment for.

Eating issues vs family issues can have two very different recommendations for courses of treatment. Unfortunately both issues are pretty common among college age individuals. I recommend going to ur college counseling center as an option for treatment. Most colleges offer free or cheap treatment as its rapped into student…

Lol! I never owned one until my doctor yelled at be durning my pregnancy about gaining weight and told me I had to get one. Ends up the darn tech didn't zero the doctors scale right and I didn't gain the massive 4 pounds that month that she thought I had :P. before if I was curious I would use the gym scale, friends…

Good read

I hear you. It's hard when they are that small. It's a little easier now that my little one is 2. Try taking the little one out really early in the morning or late at night when it's cooler. Also, I've noticed a lot of moms walk the jogging stroller in the mall where there is air conditioning... don't think they will…

600 seems plenty if you are on a 1300 diet and have already made it past breakfast and lunch. When I get close to my allotted calories, I work out to get more. But I also try not to worry so much about individual days and look at calorie goals for the week. And I generally tend to zig zag with my calories so I don't really…

"I think I could deal with paying the prices of jcrew, banana republic and the like, if I was at my goal weight and knew I wasn't going to "outgrow" them again. I like their clothes and they seem to be of good quality." One of the reasons I wanted to get back at my pre-baby weight after the baby. I didn't want to buy all…
-
I've had pretty good luck with jcrew and banana republic. Abercrombie jeans and Levis jeans fit pretty well as well. Jcrew and banana republic can be kind of pricy so second hand may make it more within reach (plato's closet, ebay, or good will if your lucky). Between jcrew and banana republic, I'm pretty good on work…

I'm afraid I agree. Rue21 is a juniors store. Just because older people sometimes frequent the store doesn't make it not a juniors store (trust me, I have friends that sometimes frequent the store but they are aware that it's a juriors clothing and just don't like the asthetic of "adult" "womens" stores). Just like plenty…
-
::Edited because I realized I was typing slower then I was thinking and left out a few words... lol:: I am very short. Instead of getting upset that very, very, very few stores carry my size, I just choose to find the ones that do and stick to them. And alterations are a must if you want adult clothing and am the size of…

Lol! Reminds me of when my dad's company first transferred him to America. My mother called home to her family horrified that Americans put their children on leashes. She apparently had never seen one before coming to the US. I must say that I have never placed my daughter in a harness or on a leash but I can see why…

Yep, but not too badly.

Wonderful transformations ladies! Truly inspirational!

I'm apparently the only dum-dum that can't get the link to take me to the group :P. I'm guessing I'm on the black team since I've already got friend requests from other black team members... help!! lol!
