Good for you...you're on track and successful on your weight loss journey, which means the post probably didn't apply to you. It did apply to me, however, and I realized that staying at or below 1200 for too long was stalling my progress. He wasn't wrong, this particular advice just didn't apply to you and some of the…

I know that this has dragged on way too long, probably. But I 'am itching to reply. I am just flabbergasted at how anyone can continue to take offense. When I first read it, I thought......that's me! I had been wondering why my weight has stalled. Thanks for the reminder. I didn't even notice whether you were male or…

:heart: :heart: :heart: Thanks so much for the words of encouragement! Diet is a four letter word. I need to learn that this is truly a life style change. It's always been feast or famine with me. I've never been good with moderation. I need to stop trying to make up my own rules and truly listen to my body and what it…

lmao...jtuner! Robin...thank you, thank you, thank you for your professional advice and personal encouragement. I will definetely start doing some more strengthening and weight work. I really push the elliptical and walking because it focus's on my lower half. It is frustrating that there are no true spot reducers that can…

Whiskey...lol...yeah, that made sense. Thanks for the replies! I've used a variety of methods to lose the 40lbs I lost this year. Zig Zagging my calories is an easier one to live with because it allows for those special occasions when you go over just a bit. I don't know why I felt like I was somehow cheating the…

agdeierl, I might have missed an update on this thread...but I'm curious to know how things turned out! Hope everything's okay!!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the input and advice. That's why I turned to you all, because my family and friends are too close to the situation and probably can't see past the old, fat me. In comparison, I'm sure I do look thin...but I'm actually still overweight. I'm going to keep going. I'd like to get to the normal bmi…

Sizes are defenitely deceiving. I have some 16 khakis that fit like 12s! It's crazy world of numbers. One thing I do as I go down in sizes that fit....I give away all my "fat" clothes so I have no temptation to cheat. If things start to feel tight....then I have to do something about it or go out naked!! Just wanted to…

I, too went over my calories last night. Not because of candy, though....an awesome Halloween party and too many smirnoffs!

I'm not sure how this might help you, but you mentioned that you wondered whether your menstrual issues were just weight related. Several years ago, at my highest weight of 235lbs (5'2"), my periods became non-existent. I can't remember if I had facial hair issues beyond what we normally go through, but I do remember that…

That's exactly what happened when I was newly pregnant. Painful hunger pangs, slight spotting, fatique......never failed....all four of my pregnancies started that way within a week or two of conception and for a couple of months into the pregnancy. The birth control pill is easily affected by outside factors. Antibiotics…

Wow! I'd love to lose 30 lbs by Christmas, but is that possible? It just seems like a lot of weight in a short amount of time. After reading the posts to this thread, I believe it is possible for ya'll because of all the excercise time you log. Good for you!! I'm not sure if I can do it, though. I don't excercise as much,…

Hullo! Just wanted to chime in that I'm not a college student...in fact, I'm forty! And I, too, enjoy the occasional night out with the hubby or friends. You don't always outgrow the need to let loose! lol I make sure I dance a lot! I also watch my calories that day.
