SW/HW: 248 CW: 233-231 Christmas goal: 210 GW: 163 I definitely need this kick! I popped back up from 225 after my brother's wedding in June and I really need to get going on my weight loss again. I figure if I lose a big chunk now, setting a 50 lb/final GW goal in 2013 would be just the ticket. Wishing everyone luck!

There are some pretty decent lower sugar flavored creamer options if you want to start with that. Slowly wean yourself off and begin to enjoy the flavor of coffee. I find that if I brew my coffee stronger than average, I get more "flavor" out of it and prefer it black. You can always keep your creamer in your coffee and…

If you seem to have this problem frequently, I would try to front-load your calories. I do this a lot so I'm not stuffing my face right before bed or after a workout that saps my appetite. Maybe try a bigger lunch? I agree about at least getting some protein in there after the workout, and your diary seems like you could…

One thing I had to cope with during my journey is the amount of food I should be eating instead of what little I was (1600 cal at my height and weight and activity level when I started was lunacy). When my activity level increased, I had a big mental problem eating as much as I needed to to fuel my body properly (having…

I was hoping the program would be a good way for me to incorporate strength training without paying for a personal trainer. Definitely a lot to think about investment-wise.

^^This is what I was hoping for! Thanks everyone!

You don't have to hook them into a racerback, although I appreciate the option. I usually wear it in its original form because I can never get it UNhooked if I do racerback! Ha! Still super supportive, and yes, I bought the purple option!

I just bought two new sports bras from Barenecessities.com after a ridiculous amount of research. I'm a 36GG, so we are practically the same size (although with your 38H, you have more options than I did...). The two I bought were the Panache 5021 and Shock Absorber B4490. I. Friggin. Love. Them. Now, unfortunately for us…

I'm 5'8'' and my goal weight is 163 and hoping for 20-24 BF%. 163 is the exact number that would put me in the normal weight BMI category, where I've never been before! I also have a large frame and I'm quite busty. Since I don't see that changing, I doubt my body would go much lower than 150 and look good. I really just…

Other than the usual clothes flapping in the breeze or chillin at my ankles: I keep getting head nods or doors opened by guys. Young guys. Cute ones, too. And literally every single time I look behind me like, who's that for?! It's a really weird experience, but I think I could get used to it! Does anyone else feel a…

Luckily the cake was whatever...it was the icings and fillings that killed me! I will definitely be able to resist at the wedding. Good luck to anyone else encountering the same thing!

Me too! I already have my bridesmaid dress and it fits in the bust (the only part of me that hasn't budged in the 11 inches I've dropped!). I'm going to have to tailor the skirt part ridiculously so it hangs like it's supposed to, so I'm seeing how much fabric they're going to have to take out. I'm hoping for a full…

Bridesmaid for my brother's wedding June 23rd. We're hemming this dress to just at the knee so it doesn't look so matronly! http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Style-Satin-Wide-Strap-Tea-Length-Dress-F14556_Bridal-Party-Bridesmaids-Dresses-Under-$100 edit: link's not posting. oi.

I would say angry cardio: HELLS YES. Angry strength training: only after you burn most of your anger off with cardio. Weights require control so you don't injure yourself, so if you're too angry to focus it and do the exercises with proper form, I would skip them. I usually pop in a tae bo or kickboxing DVD if I'm really…

I ordered my bridesmaid's dress online after figuring out a size. It came LITERALLY two days later (didn't pay anything extra for faster shipping). Time wise it's more reliable than getting it in_store. Good luck!

I'm in my brother's wedding party come June 23rd (they moved it up on me! it was supposed to be July 20!!!) and I have already gotten my bridesmaid's dress from David's Bridal. I was so disappointed when I went to try it on for the second time in store after losing 20 lbs--I was STILL an 18! So my maniacal goal is to…

Thanks all! Yeah, I think I checked out Enell and I'm at a loss as to which size I should order because mine is not included in the example sizes (Enell does some weird 1-4 system...). Sports bras past DDD or even F are hard to come by. Definitely going to check out Very.com. I already pay $70-90 a pop for my regular bras,…
