I started off around 160 and am where I want to be weight wise now, for the most part. I used to be a size 8 - 8.5 and now wear a size 7-7.5, so...I lost about a size after losing aprox. 40 pounds.

Once a week - I can't stand having sheets go longer than that! There is nothing like snuggling in bed in newly washed sheets. <3

I definitely recommend logging your food, even if you're eating healthy. I know one of my problems in the past, was thinking I knew exactly what I was eating, but after I started logging, it was actually more than I thought. I would also nibble a little here, nibble a little there, thinking "oh, this doesn't really count…

I like toothpaste, too.

I mean no offense when I say this, but I think you're overreacting by saying it ruined your family's morning for an hour and a half and that it was huge. I may not have kids, but I grew up with two siblings - and sometimes they got things I didn't get, and vice versa. Sure, there was crying and whining when we were…

Just go thrift shopping, people. Go pop some tags, with 20 dollars in your pockets. Or wear your grandpa's clothes. You'll look incredible.

Liver....and fava beans with a nice chianti.

Well, if you have been eating clean for three months, i wouldn't be surprised if you feel bloated since burgers and fries usually have a lot of sodium - I usually feel bloated or heavy-stomached when I eat burgers and especially fries (throw in a glass of wine and that is just an uncomfortable feeling. :laugh: ). Also,…

Sea urchin Snail Oysters I know those are kind of "out there" to some people, but I eat out at restaurants that serve those often, and there are so very few things that gross me out/I won't eat, but those are two things I just can't eat...it's mostly a texture thing... But that's all I can really think of right now.

Hmm, probably the first time I spent a large chunk of money (for me anyway) on a pair of nice shoes, made specifically for running. Oh, as well as realizing the first time I easily ran 4-5 miles and then comparing it to the first few times I tried running (where I was gasping for air, splitting sides - all after only 4-5…

Well....kinda... I don't normally send requests to people (no reason other than the fact that I am not as sociable on this site), but sometimes, while browsing the forums, I will read a post and notice someone's profile picture and feel compelled to visit their profile. I will read their about me section and if I like it,…

I don't need to lose weight, but even telling some people that I go to the gym, work out, run, etc., or even mentioning that I try to eat cleaner now, I sometimes get sarcastic comments or little jabs about it. I just internally roll my eyes and move on. I have heard a lot of people who mentioned that they get unsupportive…

Wow, this is so wonderful. I don't know you, but I feel so happy for you, regardless! You are beautiful and an inspiration. Thanks for sharing, and keep on enjoying that pool! :flowerforyou:

Hahaha, this made my night.

This Also, just ease into it. Don't worry if you don't reach the distance/time you're used to on the treadmill at first.

I really don't think those women look malnourished and I find many of them sexy, personally. I don't see the point in bringing negative attention to them. Why can't we all just say "I love my body and what I am working towards" and leave it at that, without bringing other people down, whether you're commenting on a…

It could be a number of things, so it would be hard to tell you - though if you keep noticing it happening, definitely ask your doctor, if you are able to. There were two times in my life when I kept losing my hair. One time was do to extreme stress (sometimes we don't really understand just how stressed we actually are)…

I use New Balance and Aesics for my running shoes and have found them to be of very good quality and there are many different options to choose from.. However, like mentioned multiple times, it depends on your feet/arch/stride. You should definitely go to a running store where they can look at your feet to figure out what…

I laughed when he brought out his cat...

How is it healthier than sugar?

Dessert to me is usually something creamy, sugary, or processed. (like cake, cookies, ice cream). I do eat fruit for dessert a lot, but when I say it out loud or in my head it's less of a dessert and more of a "dessert".

Try using hummus to substitute the mayo.

A lab or a pitbull. :flowerforyou:

True, when I go out somewhere, I never get a salad as my main. I'll just get a burger and sub the fries with a small salad (which is usually just greens with some olive oil/balsamic vinaigrette.

Are you doing any upper body exercises? I have seen people mention that working out your pectoral muscles, as a female, can help make your breasts look more lifted, but I don't think it makes them bigger (at least not the breasts/fatty tissue themselves), but can give the illusion because of the muscles underneath? I'm not…

I used to hate cooking too, but eventually had to learn to like it when I started living on my own. (I had gotten used to my family cooking and my exes were all good cooks who cooked for me, so it was an adjustment), but I am happy I did. I guess you can try by looking up simple recipes. Sauteing food is very quick and a…

I know how you feel. I work at this place that makes Belgium waffles - sometimes stuffed with frozen custard and all kinds of other things. There are always waffles left over and we are free to try the new flavors and stuff there, which is so hard not to every day. :laugh: I do have a lot of self control, however, and will…
