  • 23 years old and down almost 60lbs since 2011 and am at a weight that I haven't been since I was like in 6th grade (140.6 as of today) and my mind has not caught up most days. I just don't feel like I've changed. Taken pictures, taken measurements, clothes have been given away because they're too big, but I still can't SEE…
  • It's so crazy to me how people carry weight so differently! I posted my pictures a few pages back, hoping to post again soon, but it still just blows my mind! (Also sometimes makes it hard to stay positive when looking for people similar to you but meh gotta stay on the bright side) Keep up the good work everyone!
  • I've been engaged since 1/9/15. Our date is 7/29/17. Last year around April/May I found some inner strength and have been going slow and steady since (I've been on mfp since 2012, but it's been a major battle up and done). I'd say starting point last year was 170, done to 145 now. I'm hoping for 135/130 by the big day.…
  • This is the best comparison photo I have (same clothes, same places). I'm 5'5" and 23 years old. This is my lowest weight since 7th grade. 145 was my original goal but I've moved it down to 135. I wasn't really sure what to aim for as I've never been a healthy weight in my adult life. And I swear, I know I look miserable…
  • I still don't feel like I've changed at all but having pictures helps. Try and ignore my angry face haha I currently have a sinus infection and I want to sleep for a week! My original goal was 145 just because I haven't been that since like elementary school and now I'm 23. But at those point I think I'm looking at 130 or…
  • Did first workout yesterday, about to start second in a minute. Will be doing the 30DS for the straight 30 days, possibly taking one day off in between levels as well as I do a 5 mile walk/jog three times a week. I need to do something everyday or else I'll convince myself to just not do it or make excuses and that in turn…
  • Day 1 yesterday and about to start my second workout in a minute!
  • Love new friends! Michelle_ibby@yahoo.com
  • This is my favorite thread in the entire world! Took me a few days to get through all 131 pages but it was well worth it!!!!
  • Michelle_ibby@yahoo.com Would love to have some Fitbit friends, all the ones I used to have went inactive:(
  • New friends are always good!!!
  • BMR 1539 TDEE 2386 Recommended calls 1909 According to fitbit on the days I work my burn is usually ~2700
  • Going to the scooby site in a second. I work five 8 hour shifts a week. Also have a fitbit- it usually had me going 10-12 miles a shift. I was just excited I had gotten the ft so wanted to give it a try. I just got surprised by the calorie burn.
  • Oh no the smoothie wasn't my meal it's was just a way for me to make it to dinner without feeling like my stomach was gunna eat itself haha. I dunno. I'm thinking of just maybe eating my lunch right before I leave for work and hoping it'll help me stay full until I can eat again? Its just difficult trying to spread…
  • Turning 21 in two weeks. Weigh 168 @ 5'5". Not sure what I'm aiming for. But atleast down to 140. Enjoy hiking and being outside in general. Work 40hrs a week 2nd shift and have a 3 year old. Will be starting t25 on Monday. Feel free to add!
  • I was on 50mg for 5 days - it sucked. Super hungry and super cranky. But I found that I had so much energy! So I was able to do a lot more excersize than I usually would. I did gain 3.5 pounds, but 2 weeks after I was down 4 so it evened out.
  • The first time I started MFP was a month after my daughter turned 1 and I had come down from having her at 200ish pounds to only 175 (sounds like a good amount but most of that was the first 3 months after I had her) and I realized that I barely had any pictures of me with my own child. That I got angry when people would…
  • I have had mine since I was 14ish, maybe before then but never noticed. They really don't big me because I know so many people with them. Got even more when I was pregnant. I've found that time is about the only thing to get them to fade. If you tan it does help them to blend in (I just use tanning lotion, no way my bellys…
  • Fricken' awesome traps!
  • Working 2nd shift (3-11) and having a 2.5 year old lol
  • I'm a CHHA/CNA and work as a resident care aid at an assisted living facility (though in the past couple of months it's begun to feel like a nursing home >.<). Two out of three of my nurses are very overweight. And my fellow aids - the younger girls my age are all skinny/healthy except for me and one other girl and the…
  • -get downn to 155 (at 159.5) And non weight related - learn how to ride a motorcycle, my second lesson is tomorrow! Woo
  • I'm 19 years old, 5'5.5", and weight 160. I'm an xl in shirts and a 6/7 in jeans (weight is ALL in my midsection, I have no *kitten*, tiny legs, tiny arms) My goal for Xmas is 145. And by next April I would like to be 130. May change my goals in between now and then but this is the least I've weighed in as long as I can…
  • Been overweight since about 5th grade. 7th grade my dr told my mother I was fat and needed to see a nutritionist. Lost 30 pounds in a year. Not enough money to keep going. So I gained back most of the weight. Was 5'5" and roughly 160-170 through all of highschool. Carried all my weight in my middle. But never got bullied…
  • Did you read anything else I posted? I have no problems with backpack harnesses. My parents use one for my daughter. I couldn't give two craps about other people. I was putting out that I have seen them used badly. No need to be so defensive and nitpick my post.
  • Have nothing against them, but I refuse to use one. When my parents watch my daughter, they do. And good for them, they are not able to keep up nor do they enjoy bending down to hold her hand. I don't mind reaching down to hold her hand, or carrying her, or putting her in a stroller if my hands are full. I go into Boston…
  • Im about a half hour south of Boston (at least the way I drive;) ) in Whitman. Feel free to add me:)
  • My boyfriend has two sport bikes - an r 1 and a ninja. He stunts with the ninja. But I'd say he gets a pretty good workout on both
  • You are awesome thank you so much! If I ever have questions would you mind me messaging you to ask your opinion?
  • Anyone have before and after pictures? Lol
