I had implanon fitted September 2011. At that time I was 145 lbs. I'm now 108 lbs. The key is to measure everything you eat with a scale and write it down. Make sure you eat at a deficit and you will not gain weight. If you do gain weight, call the department of energy, because you are some how able to break a critical law…

I lift weights throughout losing the fat and skin hangs off of me. I look like a shar pei when I sit down. My boobs are all deflated, they're like veiny, deflated balloons. The fat that is left all hangs off my butt with my skin. Not pretty. When I run, loose skin jiggles and flies everywhere. When I sit, my thighs and…

Then you are not reporting everything that you eat/drink and/or you are not measuring things correctly. Eating constantly at a caloric deficit will cause weight loss, you're not above the laws of thermodynamics. You must be honest with yourself about everything you ingest. I would watch the show (can view on youtube or…

You can make gluten-free roti with almond flour, oil and water (I make roti often). Rice flour doesn't puff up that well, it will give you a flatter more crumbly roti. White sugar is the same as refined sugar. You'll just have to learn to make food from scratch and spend lots of time cooking, making meals to last for the…

You can do it! It takes dedication, honesty with what you eat and how much you are eating so you can make proper adjustments). Rome wasn't built in a day. It it was easy, then it wouldn't be worth fighting for.

"You're skin and bones! You don't eat enough!" I make it a point now to eat all my meals in front of people, otherwise they're convinced that I have some sort of problem not eating. When I go out, I usually wind up eating much more than the people calling me "skin and bones". I can really pack food away.

People are lashing out by projecting their own insecurities onto this woman's image. I sort of find it fun to read the comments, it's almost like staring into the mind of a person.

Wow! That's incredible!

I try to eat about that much. Some days are more, some days are less. Breakfast is usually coffee with heavy cream. Lunch is a big salad with lunch meat and some fatty dressing. Dinner is usually a hunk of meat with hot sauce and veg. I don't track hot sauce or coffee any more. Snacks are tortilla chips or peanut butter.…

I take weekly progress pictures. You might not notice any difference, but compare week 1 to week 5 and you might see a big difference. It's what keeps me personally motivated.

I went from Pear (36-32-46") to less-extreme pear 33-25-35.5". Shape didn't really change, just less-extreme pear without a large gut and hips.

People used to say things along those lines to me- in high school I was dubbed the ugly weird girl. I had a "high school BF" once and many people asked him the same question and remarks. Even though he was the least bit athletic. He listened to them and dumped me for this girl down he street. I use it as personal…

Bulking is a long, slow process. Women don't put on muscle like men do. Bulking can take a good 8-9 months. You are correct that you need to eat more. At your current weight, you can't gain muscle on a caloric deficit. You will gain a little fat too if you eat slightly over TDEE, but you already know how to lose the fat if…

I did read their posts. They want to lose a bit of fat on their stomach. They are exercising a bit and eating at a deficit. They didn't give any suggestions that they were fixated on 800-1000 calories a day, other than saying this was the range they ate. They are also 5'1" and at an already decent weight. Weight loss when…

At 5'1" currently at 103 and you want to lose 4 lbs. At 99 lbs for your height you would still be at a BMI "healthy weight". No, this doesn't mean you have an ED. There's a list of criteria in order to be diagnosed with an ED. Lots of people on here get irate when they see an already "skinny" person trying to lose weight.…

I used to say I had a hard time eating over 1000 calories. Originally, when I was fat, and how I gained the weight, I ate low-fat high carb. I also drank a lot of juice (which is high sugar and calorie). I switched to high-fat low carb and just drink water/tea/diet soda. High fat satiates the appetite pretty well. When I…

I'm 5'5" and 117. I started at around 183. Hoping to get down to 110. My biggest hump was at 142 and 136. Hang in there!

Pickle jars require grip strength. Genetics plays a small role. Genetics will say if you have a thin or a thicker waist under that fat. Genetics will tell you the size of your hip bones or where you will retail fat the most. Gentics will tell you your height. Most VS models are ~5'!0". In Heels they're like 6'2". Gentetics…

When I work hard, I usually gain water weight. My body retains water as muscles heal themselves. I'll see no change in weight, or a gain in weight. Then I wait a few days (limited exercise) and the water weight comes right off, plus additional fat loss. It's a slow, long and daunting process that is not linear. You weight…

I like coffee. The time I would be using to snack is spent on sipping coffee.

45 lbs people started noticing and saying, "hey, did you lose weight?". Sometimes it takes a big change for people to notice. I played a game with myself, like a little bet to see when people would say something about the weight loss. I pretty much lost, since it took 45 lbs.

I use it in my coffee, on some berries, or in a smoothie. Doesn't trigger hunger for me.

Heavy whipping cream. It's 100 calories per liquid ounce.

I always eat right before sleeping. Full stomach puts me to sleep.

I squat with bags of animal feed. If I can't do it, just lean back and let the feed fall off. Fall on top of feed bags.

When you start rigorous exercise, your body retains quite a bit of water to help your muscles to heal. This can last for a good 6 weeks. I gained 6 lbs weight lifting, but my measurements are pretty much the same.

Fish oil, vitamin E all play a part in rejuvenating tighter skin. The age factor plays a bit, it will take your skin a bit longer to catch up. Make sure your loose skin is also moisturized. I love Bag Balm (main ingredient is lanolin and a sulfur, so it you have sensitivities to both avoid). Gotta moisturize every day.…
