Its not important whether i loose it for him, its more about me. The mid 170's is always when I have felt the most sexy and confident and I want to feel that way be proud when he comes.

I think he is going to be thrilled too, I just want his jaw to drop. But looking back through my log, I think he will. After all I have lost 2 inches off my bust, 6 off my waist, and 8 off my hips since he's seen me. Thats a alot. I think I am gonna focus on getting under 180 just so I feel better. 179 is only 6 lbs away!…

So far I take a hike every night with my dog as exercise and I have bumped it up from 30 minutes to an hour. After 10 years of competitive sports and personal trainers I am burnt out on the gym and wont go back, especially after suffering a career ending injury. I walk fast though and work up a sweat, most of it is up hill…

Thanks! Any cleanse recomendations? I have never done one. But I did step up my workouts to daily, I am cool with not loosing weight and gaining muscle so long as the inches go down

How long did it take to loose the weight on insantiy?

That's great!! I used to be an 18W too but have worked my way down to a 11/12. I can't wait to get back into an 8! Way to go, you skinny minnie!!

I don't think its evil at all. Your not doing anything to be mean or harmful to her, your trying to prove something to yourself. And you are motivating yourself to loose weight which is awesome!

Its about 1 lb a week, so its very safe. The recomended weightloss is 1-2 lbs per week. However most people don't loose that much because you will hit plateaus. However if you work at it and keep faith you can do it. I had the same goal and it looks like I will be just short of it loosing 52 lbs this year by the time by…

I exercise when I can, but for the most part I stick to right around 1200 calories and eat lots of whole grains and fiber, keep my sodium low, cut out coffee and soda, and drink lots of green tea. Its been working great so far and I have lots and lots of energry after cutting out the fatty foods...my skin looks better too…

yep. american. though we love people from every country!! :)

I am 22 and I also was trying to loose 57 lbs. :) So far I've lost 29! This website is an amazing tool! Stay strong! And good luck!

I'd blame the smell. That and you probably wore yourself out. I find that since I started eating healthy I really have no desire to eat sugery foods or dessert, unless its my TOM. This could explain it as well.

Way to go! Thats got to be an awesome feeling! I started in June and am only 2 lbs from my halfway mark, I can't wait to get there!

Its just an area that needs to be toned is all. No spot fat reduction. I just don't know any excersises to tone the area. It is the group of muscles right under the pecs I guess, before you get to the central ab muscles (so maybe upper abs?)

I already do eat very health and lots of whole grains. I used to be a competitive athlete and even then the areas didn't reduce. I guess I worded my question poorly. I was looking for excercises I can do to tone these areas, especially under the bust.

i eat lots of fiber, whole grains, keep my sodium low, drink lots of water, and eat lean foods. I don't really work out at all.

I only ask because I am getting ready to shop for a wedding dress.

Do you know how many calories it burns? I can't figure it out

yep

I am hoping it is water retention. I feel bloated and I know the Wendy's has a lot of sodium and I had a ton of jerky. If it is water rentention any good ideas on how to get rid of it quick?

Hahaha. I'm tall and loose evenly through my body and have always carried my weight well...gifts from god I tell you! The only downside is I want to get down to a 9 like I was about a year ago, but I know from experience I will be stuck in a 12 for the next 35 lbs. :(

I've discovered, by doing the same thing as you several times, that anything ice cream is bad when had outside of the home. Actually desert period (unless its homemade) is a killer. :( And I so love ice cream and chocolate cakes at resturants too.

I'll def have to get some up! I went from a size 18 to a size 12 with those 23 lbs!!

In case you wanted to add another store to your new list of places you can shop at.

I don't know if they have Forever 21 where you live, but they have an amazing collection of clothes for average girls, aka size 8 and bigger. The clothes are made to compliment hips, butts, and boobs. The clothes range from casual to business and are so cute and relatively inexpensive. They also have clothes for smaller…

If I'm really low I will drink a glass of 1% milk or have fruit smoothie. It's healthy so I don't feel guilty. Also the smoothie can replace desert.

I'm the same way. I put on 60 lbs and went from a size 9 to a size 16 while thats a couple of sizes my I know my body well enough to know that I will stay at a size 12 from 175-190 lbs (currently at 200) and my shirt will go from an XL to a Medium. Therefore I am buying new clothes in bulk since I wont be below 175 till…

I did it!! I did it I stopped at half and threw them away!!!!

Well I've eaten half the twinkie and half the milk....and that puts me right at my calorie limit for the day. I am trying to be strong and throw the rest away. I need help! I splurged this weekend already and yesterday. Its been a bad couple days...but on the brightside I've done a lot of exercise.

I totally understand where you are coming from!!! My boyfriend of 3 years can eat anything he wants and hardly gain a pound...where as I balloon out :explode: To top it off we both went on a diet in June and I'm down 23 lbs and he is down 60 lbs and even got himself a nice little 8 pack and arms of steel I tell you. WTF!!…
