Hi all! Sorry I missed all these replies. I had my little girl back in April and I've been busy Laura - to answer your question, a rainbow baby is a nickname for a baby conceived/born after a pregnancy loss. Kind of the "after the storm" hope. And a sugar baby is a nickname for a gestational diabetes baby :smile:. Someone…

I started the container tracking yesterday, but the workouts today! Feel free to add me! :smile: I've been on MFP for ages, but not actively...time to get back into shape! Oh, and about the 5-day recovery...I followed along with Kat mostly (the modified version) because I'm REALLY out of shape and was dying the whole…

Wow. This hits really close to home for me. Could have been me! When I was in college, I started having what everyone told me were panic attacks. The first attack I had I was kissing my boyfriend at the time :blushing: and all of a sudden couldn't breathe, felt like my heart was pounding and racing and felt very faint.…

You're beautiful! Thanks for sharing your story!

What about those that are 5'2" and already met the goal? I can answer questions is anyone has any about what I did or just be supportive! Good luck all! Anyone can feel free to add me!

Thanks for sharing your story! You should be SO PROUD!!! Great job! :smile:

This is only true if your TDEE incorporates the exercises you do on a regular basis. If you input your TDEE activity level as "sedentary", but you decide to do Insanity 3x a week, you should definitely eat those calories back. But the better answer would be to change your activity level to either "lightly active" or…

Great tip about the twinspires website. No, I heavily doubt we will be betting anything above minimum, even though I'm usually really lucky at the track. My first time there, I lost the first bet and then won my next 5, the last of which was an exacta trifecta, but I only bet the minimum. Still won over $100! Course that…

This is my first year in Louisville for the Derby. I'm a little clueless as to what to do, but we have company coming in town, so I need to figure it out quickly! Problem #1 - We don't have cable, so I'm trying to figure out where we can stream the race live on the internet and just pull that up on our TV through our…

I'm late to the party, but what a story! Thank you so much for sharing. You look FANTASTIC! Very inspiring. I'm about where you were when you lost the weight, but didn't feel happy about the your appearance in the mirror. I hit goal weight, but I haven't been able to strength train due to some injuries. Doing physical…

Have you done it before? I checked out the website and it looks like a BLAST! I'd have to check with my doctor, but that's so far in advance I should be OK by then (have some neck injuries right now). Hm...

Very sorry to hear this. I've always thought that losing weight and getting healthy should be something you do for yourself. Not something that you do for others. You can help others get healthy, but you shouldn't try to negatively punish others, especially for things that they're already sensitive about. Sadly, my own…

Great NSV and SV. From those pictures, I honestly don't think you need to lose any more weight! Maintain and strengthen maybe? You should be so proud of how far you've come!

AMAZING! Great job!!! Thanks for sharing!

In :heart: :heart: :heart: with this thread!

Growing up, I had a cat named Kimi and a cat named Mika. They were besties. If they weren't fixed, they'd probably have been a mated pair. I used to merge their names, like before Brangelina name-merging was a thing. I used it as a chat name, email, etc. Anyway, I've hung on to that silly user name ever since...

So AWESOME! Great job! I'm also 5'2" so I know how it feels to be a shorty with some extra weight. Never again! :smile:

The proof is in the photos! Amazing transformation! :smile:

You said you're drinking more water. If you use a lot of ice, that would do it too! I drink ice water all day and just bundle up in sweaters and blankets at work. Coworker look at me like I'm crazy, but I don't care!

1. Favorite ice cream flavor? Plain vanilla or French vanilla, especially served over a lowfat brownie... 2. Favorite pop tart? Brown Sugar 3. Favorite chips? Tortilla chips with salsa 4. Favorite snack cracker? Goldfish crackers 5. Favorite chocolate candy? Dove dark chocolate squares 6. Favorite chewy candy? Swedish Fish…

:happy: Read it all! Very impressive! Thanks for sharing!

I eat at TDEE-15%.

Bump! Your transformation video is awesome! "I don't just have will power - I AM WILL POWER!" Love it. Thank you for sharing!

Sending an add now. I'm 5'2" and started at 140. I'm currently at 120, but my goal is 115.

Bump! Thanks, Dan!

This was me, except both my parents were DEA agents. They literally interrogated any boy who called my house, did full background tests and lie detectors. I really hate the movie "Meet the Parents", because it just hits too close to home... I was also a smart girl / athlete (swimmer). I was a fish. Spent all year in the…

Awesome job! Love the shout out to IPOARM. You're doing it right! Sending FR now.

I lived in a cute little postage stamp of a house in Broad Ripple for 5 years, right off Indianola and 56th st. I really like that area! Thanks for the welcome! :smile:

Did you know there was a NROLFW group? You should try posting this question there too. I can't answer your question, but I at least thought I'd share that! :smile:
