Probably time to worry less about the scale and more about measurements. Are you doing cardio? Weight? or a combination of the two?

Boobs are fat sadly enough, so in any weight loss you will lose fat everywhere. Boobs included. :( If I could keep my boobs and give up my thighs/hips I gladly would! lol

Thank you everyone for the great compliments! I know I still have a LONG way to go. I am very lucky to have my bf with me at the gym every day keeping me held accountable (and me keeping him accountable). Hoping to have updated pics for y'all in a month or two!

IMO taking a before picture is the BEST thing you can do for motivation! I wish I had taken more/better before photos but 70+ days in when I started losing motivation because the scale wasn't moving as much as I wanted and I was convinced I wasn't progressing I took new photos and low and behold I had changed drastically!…

The original photo was a year and a half. However between then and 75 days ago there was NO CHANGE. I took more current "before" photos about 75/80 days ago but they weren't clear and there were no visible differences.

I'm 5'3" I am not great about my food yet but I try to keep around 1300 calories, lots of lean meats. I also cycle "normal" eating with a few low cal/high protein days once in a while. LOTS of water - I quit soda, coffee etc. I still drink zero cal energy drinks because I need the caffeine and green or black tea, otherwise…

Sorry for the quality - my computer won't connect to internet currently and my phone won't connect to the computer w/o an update. Ugh! So it's a phone shot of a computer screen. Eek!

I am TERRIBLE about not taking rest days unless I'm forced to. There's usually a leg day, chest day, arm day, back day, ab day (which I pretend is rest day). Often back is broken up into 2 days (upper/low) or legs are broken up into 2 days (legs and calves). Once in a great great while I can be conned into doing cardio.

Damn those legs! And your back for that matter!!! Great job girl! I jsut started weight lifting a couple months ago and LOVE it! I'm only at about 110 on squats and 150 on deadlift but getting there! thanks for the inspiration. :)

The biggest motivation I have found kind of hit me after listening to my biggest idol talk. She spoke about how it isn't the end goal but loving the process of getting there. Find a workout, an exercise, a sport, whatever, but find something you can learn to love. This is not a "one stop shop" where you can lose the weight…

I would have previously said Brantley Gilbert, but I'm gonna go with Steve Cook. Between the looks and personality he's perfection.

I was told last night that I shouldn't drink whiskey because of the calories... I calmly explained that it is people who say things like that which make me need the whiskey.

DEPO - I can honestly say from the time I started to ended the depo shot I felt like I was quite literally starving to death on a constant basis, I gained a good 30+ lbs and decided not to try it again. PATCH - The patch I used for about 4 months. Super convenient and I never got pregnant but I did end up getting multple…

I log it as circuit training as well, since it is usually a mix of strength and cardio.

This might explain why I had issues today since I know I haven't drank enough. I'll pay more attention to my water intake and see if that help.

No prednisone. They had me take high dosages of ibuprofen to keep the inflamation down and that was it. The doctor seemed like a moron. It still has its flare ups though and it has been nearly 2 months? So excessive breathing, sleeping in any kind of cold or on hard surfaces, and other things cause it to come back a bit…

I know a lot of people are using teespring.com but not sure of costs.

I wanna see and work computers block pinterest :(

I'm taking it 20 lbs at a time to keep myself from getting frustrated. SW: 205 CW: 199.6 1st Goal: 180 around Xmas/NYE 2nd Goal: 160 by mid/end of March 3rd Goal: 140 by mid June Etc.

Oh quit, you're awesome :)

Any weapon you carry has the chance of being used against you. If I run (which is rare) I take my dog. She may only be 30 lbs but when she decides to be not so friendly she can definitely discourage about anyone from approaching. Or else I take my horse, which may seem silly but keeping a 1200 lb animal between you and an…

Just joined today so hopefully I'll have a good update for next week!

Hi! I'm Jessica. :) I'm 26 and have an 18 month old daughter and a 4 1/2 year old son. I got down to a great weight using MFP before getting pregnant with my daughter and then gained it all back during pregnancy and haven't had the motivation to start up again, but I'm back now! I have over 50 lbs to lose.

My puppy dogs :) My aussie puppy Yahtzee, she's about 6 months now. And below is my Husky, Zero, he's just over 3 years old.

I do beam & either diet coke or coke zero. I'm a lightweight so it's one shot of beam to a can of soda. low cal and tastes great. But i also only drink about once a month (if that).

If you're looking to get a kitchen for him (that's what my son and daughter are getting as their big gift for Christmas) there are a few on sale Black Friday! I think the one is only like $50? One is at Walmart (I think) the other is at Walgreens. Might be worth looking into so that you could both get him what you want. :)…

I'm working on creating a group to make this easier.

Hello all! I've been a little MIA on MFP lately, but I'm back and apparently this is the board for me! I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow and have a 2 1/2 year old son. The fun part is that with my son my due date was 12/17/08... he was 3 days late and born on 12/20/08. The baby I'm pregnant with now has a due date of 12/17/11!…

Guess I got a new group :) Just found out Friday that I'm pregnant!
