Congrats ladies! My wedding date is June of 2017. After grad school and back surgery, I've got 20 pounds to drop on a pretty short frame. I'm doing it the healthy way. No fad diets. Let's support each other on this exciting journey

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing

I'm getting there. Very hard for me to work bi's. Have a bulging disc and nerve damage in my back so I could lift more but my back starts to tweak:(

I really feel for you because I have the same problem. I bought some books on abs and have a boyfriend with the best set of abs I've ever seen in my life, including in magazines. I talked to him a lot about this and what I'm doing is working. Here's the deal: 1. Diet-you should kick processed foods as much as possible and…

I have been on here for over a month and have been working out for 6 months. Look at my pics. In the last month I have oscillated back and forth 2 pounds. I'm a size 4 and look great. Who cares about the number? If you're going down in pants sizes than obviously you're getting smaller. When I was obsessing about my weight…

Omg you should look me up on pinterest or I can email them to you. I have so many great recipes. Avocado pudding, white chocolate cranberry muffins, breakfast bars, blueberry vanilla smoothies...the list goes on! All easy and all low cal

The 4th pairs looks a little snug up top but I wouldn't take them back because jeans stretch a lot when you wear them and you're going to get smaller. Otherwise they look really great and so do the other pairs. By the way, the back of your legs are frickin' awesome. I'm so jealous. You have no cellulite!

Try that first and give it a few weeks. Change takes times with your body. If you are also lifting you may be building mucle. You should take your measurements every few weeks. I also take l-carnipine to help with fat loss. I agree with everyone else too, you shouldn't rely so much on MFP. It's better to talk to a dr or…

I'm just under 5'3 and weigh 124. I have fluctuated between 122 and 124 in the last few months. I eat extremely healthy and workout 6 days a week. I wear a size 4 and have tone. i looke great. I wouldn't mind going down to 117 but that probably won't happen as I build strenght and tone. I'm ok with that because I'd rather…

My heart goes out to you as I also have a buldging disc and have for 2 years. PT is good. Consult with your doctor. Invest in good shoes and a good mattress. Stretch everyday. Go online and look for a good DVD on yoga for back problems to give you some good stretching ideas. I now stretch almost EVERY day regardless if I'm…

Yes definitely.

I was doing cardio 6 days a week for 40 minutes each day, and weights up to 4 days a week. Staying at 1200 calories made me feel very tired and I was burnt out. I started eating back some of my calories but not all of them and I lost weight. I now use MFP as a rough guide but more importantly a way to track my intake. If I…

I have a kindle fire and aboslutely love it. No need for an ipad. I can watch netflix on it and there's tons of free apps and books. It's my favorite thing ever. The battery life on it also kicks *kitten*. The only thing you'll have to buy is a cover. I bought one at best buy that allows you to prop the kindle up for easy…

I decided to splurge after slimming down and went to the denim bar in Boston. It's very expensive but is the most amazing experience of your life in terms of jeans shopping. You don't pick out anything. They actually have a bar and the staff are experts in fitting so you just try on what they bring you. They have locations…

honey has more nutritional qualities than sugar. I use stevia in my coffee but I use honey from time to time in yogurt or baking. It's good for you. I've also used sweetened almond milk in my coffee

My ability to embrace my health even when others try to hold me back or deter me from my commitment to myself. I love myself more than that.

I've thought about this too. The instructor of my yoga class is quite a bit older and looks great. When I look at her I think that teaching classes would be a great long-term goal for me. For me personally, I still need to figure out what I want to teach. My friend is an advanced yoga instructor and it took her a long time…

I wish mine didn't get smaller either but I've done a lot of chest lifting so they're perkier than ever. Just think about how much less sagging you'll have later in life. Men in my life always preferred a small, perky chest and a nice round *kitten*. You can always use falsies to give yourself cleavage in low cut tops but…
