  • I had changes after the first week, having lost 3 inches from my waist with only 6lbs lost. How that I'm at 16lbs, I'm finally noticing a difference in clothes. You could try doing more toning exercises (just Google), to help start losing those inches. But don't worry too much. You will see changes as long as you keep it…
  • I weigh-in on Fridays. It just happened that way because that's when I decided to start losing weight.
  • I don't think it matters when you exercise, as long as you do. It would only become a problem for you if it gets you all revved up and you find yourself unable to sleep. Personally, if I exercise when I'm already tired, it only helps me get to bed faster, haha. But most of the time, my work outs are in the morning or…
  • I feel strange. It seems like a lot of women have issues with PMS, but while I can get cramps, and I have body aches, and maybe even get a little bit more irritable, it doesn't effect my eating habits or even energy level. I guess it's a stretch, but you could try ignoring all your wants, fighting it, or fitting in your…
  • Well, I was told that when I reach my goal, I'll get $1 for every pound, so I'm hoping I can use that for some new clothes. I'm definitely going to treat myself to some sexy clothes that I've been dying to be able to wear, a bikini, and of course, I hope by then I can treat myself to something I can feel confident doing.…
  • I look in the mirror and think I see changes, but then my mind just says it's not true. Of course, nearly 20lbs can make a big difference in anyone, and since I'm of a larger size, it should be easier to see. So I'm not forcing my eyes to see it in the mirror, but letting my clothes show me instead, which are now fitting…
  • I love chicken, but GROSS!
  • I don't think I'll reach 125lbs by May 27 of next year (21st birthday), but I suppose I may. I didn't really have a set date. I know I'd like to be down to where I want before I am to get married and have kids. And before I get older. I'd like to enjoy feeling confident starting in my low-20s.
  • Some people cry, some don't. Guys are more prone to be non-criers. I cry when I get too stressed, or in too much pain, or someone insults me really badly, or I simply feel bad about something. I cry sometimes during commercials, TV shows, movies, books, songs, depending on my mood. Of course, Titanic always makes me cry.…
  • My boyfriend is losing weight as well, and on MFP. So we're doing it together. It's definitely a lot easier to stick to things that way.
  • I haven't lost much, but usually I check the restaurant's website for nutrition facts, decide at home, and then I know what I can eat. Or if I know I'm eating out, I eat very, very light during the day. I don't drop what I want to eat, I just make room for it.
  • 100% agree. I'm tired of the "YOU'RE NOT HEALTHY THOUGH IF YOU DON'T EAT COMPLETELY CLEAN FOODS!!!!!1!!1!" Oh please. Not all of us care to live the healthiest lifestyle in the world. I always thought I had to give up pasta, pizza, sweets, chips, fast food in order to lose weight. But did I? No. And I am starting to lose…
  • I have better friends on Facebook, but I come on MFP more.
  • I just bought a Polar FT4, the pink one for ladies. I got it on Amazon for $65. You need the chest strap, but to be honest, I don't feel it when I have it on, despite being a big girl that sweats A LOT. It's very comfortable. Read the booklet that comes with it, and it'll be very easy to program. I would wear it just for…
  • Maybe after only being able to get through 12 chapters doesn't give me much of a right to say, but it's awful. What happens between them in real life would be considered abuse. Ana didn't even want what was happening, but gave in because he was good at sex and attractive and rich. And oh, does she change him by the end of…
  • Sounds like a fun idea. And I definitely love The Little Mermaid.
  • Thanks for the replies. If 150 sounds about right, 150 it is. I'll look into a cheaper HMR.
  • I'd love to have a Polar HMR, but like I said, I can't afford it. It's disappointing if the only way I can determine anything is by getting one. They're just too expensive for someone with no money to waste.
  • That sounds like a better number, but I'm 120 pounds heavier than you.
  • I think it's disgusting. Have you seen some of the pictures on the internet of these girls? I don't know HOW it isn't considered child pornography. And I don't think it'll help the girls in the long-run. They'll never find themselves to be perfect, beautiful, and will eventually fall into a very bad pattern that could harm…
  • Yup. This.
  • It's not difficult to find someone abusive, controlling, interested only in sex and not love... And if you hope you could "change" him like Ana apparently did, you're out of luck, because that doesn't happen in the real world.
  • Those are gorgeous, and I'm sure skating is a great work out. Wish I could use skates like those, but I just decided to stick to inline skates when I fell hard using roller blades.
  • Being an overweight woman myself, I used to find it shallow...when I was young and desperate for someone to like me. Now, however? I realize that while personality, faith, trust, and all that kind of stuff is most important in a relationship, there's in the end, no relationship at all if there's no physical attraction. In…
  • Multiple: The most recent was getting out of someone's pool, and I snapped the step and cut my foot open. While I was told not to worry about it, it was getting old, a bunch of people had gotten out of the pool just fine without it snapping on them. It may not have been my weight, but it just happened to happen to the…
  • It's hard to give up clothes, but I would suggest either give them to someone you know is that size, or donate them to Goodwill, or charity. Something like that. Don't just toss them out. Put them in a yardsale if you want a little money back.
  • MFP gave me 1,580 to eat, so that's what I try to stick to. Sometimes I end up going over, but only if I've had a decent amount of exercise for the day.
  • Others will probably tell you to go because height isn't a big deal, but for me height is a big deal too. A lot of girls care, a lot of girls don't. Everyone has preferences. While people try to convince you "personality is everything", it's not true. Who ever heard of dating someone you're not attracted to? That's…
  • At the moment I just take a complete multivitamin.
