Oh my god. You should do a commercial. I can't believe this. Good lord. You inspire me. And here I was dreading my shred....

Just wanted to say this is my 100th post on MFP and I chose to respond to this awesome compliment :) So thank you

I found out that the sores are, I think it's called a mucocele, the pics on google images are pretty much what I have, a small white bump/blister on the inside of my bottom lip. Warning: the following may be gross, lol But one got pretty big, then it burst today all of a sudden (painlessly, I just noticed it went away…

Thanks for the help everyone!! Nothing else has changed, I stopped drinking the drink for a day or two and they have calmed down a little. Still not sure if the drink was causing a detox or if I'm allergic to something in it. I know that splenda will make my skin go NUTS and I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't have muscle…

My husband is a chef and he cooks me the most nutritious clean, unproccessed meals when we're at home and not traveling. Also he works out with me whenever I want and lets me call the shots on the workouts, which is sweet. He teaches me martial arts if I get bored with my stuff. Also he's constantly telling me that I'm…

Before pics!!! When I look at them, I remember I don't want to go back to my old life!!! and my hubby, he's the hotness. He makes me want to be the hotness too.

My goal weight right now is 160 and a BMI of 24. To lose the weight, I exercise (1 hour zumba twice per week and hip hop twice per week), sometimes elliptical on the off days. Trying to get in some pilates or something for toning now. I was really limiting calories but I found that I just killed my metabolism. The weight…

you will get tthere keep going :)

Thanks for the patience! It's now working!!!

I totally tried this! Let me try again! Thanks!

I love this advice!!! Lol thanks everyone. For some clarification, I do take a multivitamin that has sufficient levels of vitamin D3, potassium and iron. I donated blood about a month ago too and when they tested my iron my blood sank like a rock, seems like I've got a healthy amount. I agree on the D3 though, could be it?…

I'm losing it.... lol

Yes, guys who are confident in social interactions, but not cocky. Maybe just slightly aloof. I do NOT like when guys pay too much attention in a bad way. Like looking at you out of the corner of their eye to see how you reacted to a joke they told. Ew not cool. Pretend you don't care.

True that we might not HAVE to, actually kudos for having the guts to say "I don't have to suffer through this, so I won't." That's pretty BA actually. As for me, I'm kind of paranoid with interfering right now because I want to have children soon, just not quite yet. Altering hormones/my natural cycle can interfere with…

you can read this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/947495-trying-to-lose-100-pounds-in-1-year?page=1#posts-14437783 I posted a LONG response about relearning how to eat and portion control. Good luck!!!

Ok ladies, I'll give you a real response instead of a rude snappy comment that's something along the lines of "don't be lazy." This is how I did it (while traveling for business and eating out most of the time) without going insane or going hungry: 1. I found out I'm lactose intolerant and cut dairy altogether. If I wasn't…

yeah maybe if only for the sanity it's worth it :) I can't imagine being grouchy and crabby, and munching on rice cakes and carrots. This girl needs something hearty during that time. A hot bowl of french onion soup.... yum.... The week after, btw, I usually lose a good 5 lbs in water weight because no matter how much…

:smile: yep, bumping my own post

bump

I'm so proud of you!!!!! I am in the exact same boat, lost 105 in a little over a year and am currently in a size 16 (well okay, sometimes an 18 depending on brand :tongue: ) I know exactly how you must feel and I think you're amazing!!! It really is a difficult thing to do, but I remember the main thing you said, that…

There are a lot of things that factor into this. If you eat too far under your calorie limits you can actually slow down weight loss because your body becomes super efficient at operating on your new number of calories. (Your metabolism slows) Your body can also go into starvation mode. One way to know if this is happening…

I began at 47.5%, and now my Body Mass Index (BMI) is: 32.2. This is the information I'm finding: A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy for adults. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight, while a BMI of 30 and above is considered obese. People with BMIs of 18.5 or less are considered underweight. My goal is 24%…

Tiger Lilies!

every small thing is great. I remember the first good feelings of tight pairs of jeans getting loose, and now I'm able to take a bath without both of my hips touching the tub. I can relax in a bath and feel some wiggle room around me. Or sit in an office chair with arm rests without getting bruises from them in the sides…

I'm thinking of adding in kelp for iodine, just for a short time to see what happens, also coconut oil and bitter orange for thermogenic boost? I can't get above 97 degrees no matter what I do, usually running around 96.

Let me add, just for the sake of saying, a nice smile and good dental hygeine. I have seen some attractive guys who smile and the teeth are super stained and messed up. I lose all attraction. The teeth should be nice and white- not neccessarily straight, but if a person takes care of their teeth it means they probably…

You get kudos especially for wearing your pants correctly. I LOATHE sagging pants. High five for rocking that belt my friend!

yep, but I don't like super muscles outside of that. Just the V. Does that make sense? And seriously, when I said earlier a man needs an impresive Man-sweater I meant it. Plain furry. Very important.

OMG YES. I forgot to mention what I simply refer to on my husband as the "stuff of dreams" which is that little V under his abs on his hips. You know what I'm talking about. ::fainting:: I could stare at his hips all day. Which is adorable because he loves my stomach (trust me it's not lovable to anyone but him, lol) and…

also, let's be honest, when I was really big I would have to be VERY pregnant for people to even see. I had a belly without pregnancy lol. I want to be nice and skinny so I'm showing from the very beginning!!! Lol. That might be crazy but I would be walking around flaunting that belly! I'm super excited about babies and I…
