I actually haven't cried for loss, but I have DEF cried over not being able to finish... I'm 10-15lbs away from my GW and have been struggling for over a year to get there. Congrats on the weight loss! It DEFINITELY is a long road!

^^^THIS! TOO funny...lol But seriously tho, looks good to me!

I def like the Jordin Sparks pic! Seems like my kind of body type too!

I would say Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood)--TOTALLY dig her legs or Rihanna--I TOTALLY dig her hip/butt proportions. I'm a thicker girl (broad shoulders-wide hips/my smallest will probably only be around a size 10) and some of these other pics, while their bodies look nice, ARE too thin to be motivating…

I used Hal Higdon for my half marathon training! LOVED it and I performed REALLY well for my race and averaged 12miles out of the 13 running. I didn't walk much and ran the first 9 miles of the race non-stop. And I actually didn't even complete the whole program, but I was well "prepared"/in shape for the race. That was my…

I read the book a long time ago and while it had some good points, it didn't seem to stick with me much--the book that REALLY helped me get a clue when I was going through a break up was "It's Called A Break Up because It's Broken" by Greg Behrendt. I STRONGLY recommend this one! It adds a lot of humor, which also helps…

I love running and kickboxing. I started Turbo Fire 4 weeks ago and LOVE it because it's kickboxing. And running has become SO rewarding now that I've become confident enough to sign up for races! :0)

I've been on a weight-loss/healthy lifestyle regime for 4 years now..and due to my work schedule, I give myself the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) off. After 4 years and 50lbs lost--I need a break from the craziness of calorie counting and sometimes just want to live like a "normal" person who doesn't CARE how many…
-
Same with me! My coworkers didn't notice until I lost about 50lbs--and they noticed because I too started wearing tighter fitting clothes and more dresses and skirts than I used too.

OH! And I know you said 5...but I have another one: I am WAY skinnier than I ever was in middle school or high school!
-
Mine: **Not in any particular order** -- I completed my first half-marathon about a month ago and now can run 5 miles like it's nothing! (used to HATE running, but I love it now that I'm adding on the miles) --I have MUCH more success when I go clothes shopping (it's now harder to chose what I'm going to buy vs when the…

Bump to read later! I am wondering the same thing! I have a busy lifestyle and splurge a little on the weekends because of my job. I wake up earlier and at work 12hrs, therefore getting home later vs my M-F job where I can sleep in an hour longer and get to bed much earlier. Anyone work in a hospital/12hr shifts and losing…

What Low Carb Protein bars do you eat? I have been looking for some, but I always find high carb ones, like 18g of carbs or something around that.

Bumb! I need some suggestions too!

bump to read for later!

I agree with the protein shakes and nuts. I like Designer Whey French Vanilla shakes...100 calories and 18g of protein. And I was told that the best nuts are almonds and walnuts--just more bang for your buck (better oils/healthy fats and what-not for the calories) vs. peanuts or cashews.

I can't offer any advice, but you're not alone. I'm going through the same thing.

Hello! I am on week 4 of Turbo Fire. I decided as a 25th birthday present to myself to spend some money on the program. I read a couple of post of people who did TF and had AMAZING results. I have been the same weight for about a year and a half and I'm hoping that TF will help me to lose the last 15lbs I want to lose and…

Gained a little weight from TOM, but this time it was only 2lbs and not the usual 5! :0) I am back on track again!

If I wake up later, I usually just push everything back some. On my days like that--waking up around 10/11-- I usually wake up and get a workout in an hour after waking up, so when I wake up I have something light and protein filled since I know I'm getting ready to workout. And then I usually just move on to lunch after…

I'd love to join! What are we doing??? I've lost 50lbs and am SO tired of seeing a 2 as my first number. I keep gaining and losing the same 5lbs and just started something new last week to FINALLY lose my weight for GOOD. I'm only ~15lbs from my goal weight! (185). Some days I get down to 198 and I'm STOKED and then the…

I haven't looked at your food journal or anything, but I would only eat back 1/2 of the calories and make a smart choice. When I'm in a situation like that, I only eat back half and make it full of protein (so the body can use it metabolically as I sleep). I burn a lot of calories through exercise, so sometimes I just…

Books. More details. What is your favorite meal to make?

Major difference! Awesome job! Congrats!

YES UHHH!!!! And it can be pretty stressful at times, but I completely understand how he feels now when he would tell me that he only offered milkshakes/ice cream/cookies (Sweets basically) to make me happy... cause I find myself doing the same thing for him--I lately (like last night) finally realized that I buy him…

I have two jobs and it can vary. One job is Mon-Fri 8-4pm (i'm a regular substitute teacher) and that can be from 1-5 days depending on the week & I have a more regular part-time job at a hospital on the weekends. So it can be rough at times working Mon-Fri and then Sat and Sun as well. The bonus is when school's out, I'm…

I just 25. I'm not new to MFP, but I am looking for more females my age as well!
