I hope you've told you husband how wonderful he is because wow that is really sweet and helpful!

Love this! I talk myself out of all kinds of stuff that isn't worth it!

Nordstrom has all the sizes! They are $59-$85 a bra though:( I'm a 34 G so I get you. I read on some reddit thread about bras/ big boobs reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits that there is a Nordstrom Rack somewhere in AZ that they send all the clearance bras to and they are like $.99

My fiancé says this is just a function of us being over 30! Does seem to be true for me too!

Ok so this is how I do it: my BMR is 1450ish and my actual TDEE is 2100ish... this is without working out. On days I bartend I am "highly active" and on days I don't bartend I'm still "lightly active-active" so I use my phone app, under goals to change my activity level based on whether I'm working or not. I always aim for…

Yeah there has to be reasonable limits but eating food that is not covered in pesticides and that has nutritional value is my goal for 80% my meals. Like my mom always says, you can spend it at the grocery store or at the doctor... It's up to you!

16 lbs in two months might not be realistic :'( i totally hear you on the whole closer to your goal the harder it is to lose but maybe you should be proud of how much you've lost and embrace the healthy eating long term, the last 16 pound will come off eventually. This blog entry blew my mind maybe it will yours too:…

From what I read, rowing is one of those super duper calorie burning exercises so yeah I'd say that's close to right!

You poor poor girl! I was a prolific amateur baker before calorie counting, I still do almond flour stuff sometimes. But god that must be hard!

171 calories of yum! (I like to save most of my calories for dinner)

So impressed with how many people have great husbands and wives on MFP! It warms my heart, you don't always see it in daily life.

I have barely been drinking as a result of this very issue! I also know myself well enough to know that I make unhealthy food choices once that buzz sets in... Nachos! This is one of those times when your diet can interfere with your relationship:( not because my fiancé cares wether I drink or not but it's something we…

girlgonecountry.com/recipes-2/cookie-dough-butter-primal-gluten-free-low-carb/ Do not follow this link if you want to stop eating nut butters! Found it on Pinterest last night, thought this crowd would enjoy!

I was 5 lbs over my ideal weight when I met my fiancé during the 6 years we've been together (which has included death of his father, my mom getting cancer, losing jobs, going to school, etc etc etc) we both gained (me a bit more of course) 20ish-30ish lbs. He lost most of his going back to work and I am in the process of…

I actually got a withdrawal headache when I got to day three, I was a major addict! Great Job!

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing the calculator link!

Best, most sensible advice I have ever seen on the forums! Congratulations!

I am a 34G so I feel your pain! Personally, lol'd at your thread title, I'm the target audience:) I have had luck with a few cheap, smaller than my size tightness holds my boobs in champion and nike sports bras. But I'll say this, why run instead of walk? It's harder on your joints, a calorie burned is a calorie burned.

I low carb, try to keep it under 50 grams a day. I stay under my calorie goal and lose weight faster than if I just ate 1200 calories of cereal, whatever, etc. the carbs I do eat are from veggies. BUT you have to LIKE meat! If you don't, you are going to be sick of eggs in a month, constipated from too much cheese, and…

Bump for later!

Yes everybody does, it's called bloating or water weight... You haven't actually gained, it's just your body retaining water.

Saving bump

Almost everyday! Which most people disapprove of but, for me, I'm either caring about my weight or really really NOT caring. I gain weight during long periods of time not weighing myself. So I check in everyday, knowing that the reckoning is coming in the morning helps me behave through out the day. I don't get upset about…

100% agree but 21 is still practically a child! I was like this at 21, now I cook all sorts of delicious food (including veggies) for myself. I still hate celery and lettuce (bitter) but genuinely enjoy most other veg. If I were you I'd start with cauliflower (as rice or mashed pot). But the joys of: Brussels sprouts…

I have thought about this one! But for this goal I need to both reach my goal weight AND get really tight and fit! (Which I plan to do just gonna take longer)

An awesome new haircut and color.... I've been wearing my hair long and my natural brown for quite a while... Which I admit is cheaper (no maintenance) but I don't feel like myself... I'm chubby and frumpy. I was always a blond bob girl... But there is no pulling that off with a round face. So when I hit 150, five pounds…

You can add custom measurements in the check in screen. for example I measure my boobs in a sports bra, my waist (two inches above your belly button), my muffin top area, my hips (widest part of your butt), my right arm, my right thigh, and my right calf. I've lost an .5-1.5 inches off each one these by losing 11 pounds.

My Dad just said this! Gee I'd rather die of a heart attack than stomach cancer. Butter makes everything better. Seriously people (sorry to be morbid but) I'm a caregiver: I've seen cancer, I've seen Alzheimer's, I've seen stroke, heck I even seen a 93 year old simply die of old age... They all hurt, are drawn out, and…

Self-sabotage is so tough. I want to say f*** it every day and dive head first into a bag of donuts.... But get some friends on here to keep you in check! I did basically the same thing as you, lost weight on mfp then stopped using it, the friends I had on here the last time, were still here sticking with it... They have…

So true. I tried it, it is like speed! I sweat all the time, had anxiety, terrible headaches but I sure wasn't hungry! It also gave me the WORST breath on the planet. If you can't learn to eat less all by yourself you will gain the weight back.
