Nicely done! You look fabulous and yes, you can do this....you already are :)

I agree it all depends on what you're eating. My daily allowance of calories is 1300, but when I workout (cardio & strength), I'm allowed to eat closer to 1600 a day. Try a lot of healthy snacking throughout the day, you won't be able to eat larger meals. Looking at your food diary would make it easier. Feel free to add me…

You're doing both programs at the same time? Damn girl! I can barely get myself to purchase one of them... have been debating b/w the two...which one do you like better?

Beautiful!! You and your husband both look smoking' hot...you can totally see his weight loss too. Congrats girl!!

I've noticed this when people lose weight too quickly. Almost as if our faces need a gradual weight loss to look firm and tight, so it doesn't keep up with our bodies. Just my opinion

I use non-fat milk and sweet -n- low.... I drink a lot of coffee and never add more than 36 calories a day from it

Cute face before, but now you're super duper cute. Nice job lady!!

Based on your height, your weight is fine. I have a friend who is 5'9 and she used to weigh what you do and it was too thin because her collar and shoulder bones stuck out a little too much. That's usually a good gage....make sure you still have some meat on your bones.

You are smoking' hot girlfriend! Way to go!!!

Beautiful! Congrats, you must be so proud....totally rocking' the bikini. I'll know I've succeeded when I can post a pic of myself in a bikini

your face totally looks thinner. keep up the good work and can't wait to see more updates!

AGREE! i have to tell myself not to be so obsessed with the scale. if i have to buy all new clothes because what i have is too big, then i've succeeded. Nice Post!!!

Welcome Karen!! I joined a few weeks ago and am completely addicted to mfp. Just be sure to enter in all your foods...the iPhone app helps me to not fall behind.

Funny the excuses people make. I'm on here because of a close friend, but now she doesn't even log in. The biggest supporters are going to be the ones you don't know on MFP, they're the ones that keep me motivated because they've made the choice on their own to be here. We're all here for each other.... plenty of people to…

Welcome back for good!!! I've only been on here for a couple weeks because for years I've been the same weight and I could never get it off. The calorie counting keeps me on track and I'm with you, I realized it's not about diets, but about what your putting in your body... you can eat a lot and still be allowed to. The…

Beautiful!!! One day I will rock a string bikini. Smokin' hot girlfriend!! Congrats!!!

Wow! I can totally see the difference and you look fabulous!! Amazing what just 20 pounds can do.... I can't wait to have a transformation like that after 20lbs lost!! Very Nice!!!

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I haven't measured myself yet, so I'll have to do that and I know I don't drink enough water, so I'll up that. I'll have to see where I'm at in two weeks. I know checking in daily is only going to be discouraging because things don't happen in a day. You guys are all awesome!!!!

Hell ya! I want to be sexy!! My weight goal is the same as yours. I joined here when I hit 160.... I would LOVE to be 135

haha!!! love your motto.... i just want to be able to parade around in a bikini and know it looks good

welcome! warning: it's very addicting

When I was pregnant, my husband gained 25lbs.....he was so supportive of my eating habits...LOL Welcome and best of luck!!!

Good luck! I started a little over a week ago and am totally addicted. Just keep logging your food and you'll see!! Welcome!!!

Welcome! I just started here a week ago and am completely obsessed. It helps you realize how many calories you put in your body when you're not keeping track & you become very conscious about what you're eating. I'm the exact same age as you and am looking to lose 20-25 lbs also.

I'm 5'8 and a medium frame with an hourglass shape. Most of my weight is in my thigh's, then butt, then mid-section I started at 160 and my goal is 135, which would put me roughly at a size 6 or 8 I think. I haven't been there in forever!! My daily calorie allowance is 1300 based on the data input. What's yours?

I say go for it. I'd probably eat one hard boiled egg and lots of time for breakfast I'll have egg whites scrambled, and then you really don't miss the yolk at all, as long as you add seasoning :)

I seem to be holding over with crystal light because it makes your water sweet. But, you have to be okay with the fake sugar taste (i'm a diet coke addict & sometimes that helps also). It's really hot where I live so it's easy to be satisfied with flavored water. What about Jello or Applesauce? That's cold & yummy.

Hi there! I'm in Vegas. I had a baby three years ago and had gained over 50lbs. I never did lose the last 10lbs and I was already 15-20lbs overweight. Just joined a gym, but still hard to get motivated. I just started this site a week ago and have been keeping up with my measly 1350 calorie allowance (totally blew it on…
