Thanks!

I've noticed my arms getting a little jabba-the-hutty and it was freaking me out thinking maybe I was gettig saggy skin and fat. Good to know it's normal!

yess! My bday is sept 18 and I want to lose as much weight as possible before then.

I'm 5'1.5..i was around 220 and i'd say i was a size 20... but i pretty much only worse leggings. All I know is since being 212 and now 167 my measreuments have each gone down about 6 inches. Us shorties show our weight loss pretty well! Unofrtunately we also show our weight gain really well too... I go to the gym 3 times…

No dimples in my butt! Yessssss! And my calves are extremely defined now

you should try to incorporate veggies into the food you already eat and maybe once you're used to them you might end up liking them. If you're making spaghetti, throw some zucchini/squash and bell pepper into the sauce. Chicken and avocado sandwiches are one of my favorite things to eat and avocado burns fat.

http://www.hungry-girl.com/weighin/show/2338 The avocado girlfredo is AMAZING! My boyfriend and I made this last week and loved it, we used whole wheat pasta rather than tofu noodles though.

I think it depends on the person, I started having crazy cravings when I was using splenda instead of sugar and after I realised this and stopped using it the cravings were gone and I started losing weight again. However, studies say it can make you gain weight and it's been linked to heart attacks/brain cancer.…

You need more calories than that, I was eating about 1000-1100 calories per day before and hardly losing weight but now that I'm eating what MFP tells me to and sometimes even over it I've been losing again. What I try to do is drink juices like green machine, etc. because they're somewhat high in calories and have a ton…

Because vegans have a moral issue with eating animal products, not the taste. Although I know a couple vegetarians that do it because they don;t like the taste of meat (freaaks). And if they want a burger, how else would it look? You can't have a burger with no patty at all.

My proudest and most exciting moment (happened today!) was realising I am thinner than I have ever been since I was 15, I'm going into uncharted territory now!

I am the same way, I once passed out from seeing a drawing of arm muscles. I got my wisdom teeth out and I don't even remember having an IV, I was just out. I never really hurt afterwards, either. But it;s different for everyone. Also, as someone who works at a smoothie place I have to say... don't live off of smoothies…

My mom swears doing adductor excercises made her legs stop rubbing together. For me its just been stairmaster and high resistance elliptical, however since she mentioned that I'm starting to do weights on my legs. I've lost 2 1/2 inches off my thighs in about 3 months

I only go with makeup if its makeup I didn't wash off the night before (Bad, I know. At least it's mainly gone by that time). I used to go in makeup but it made my skin break out and I noticed I would sweat AROUND my face since the sweat couldn't get passed my foundation, so that's probably bad.

It matters! I have friends who are thin just because they were born that way, and while they are a size 4 or 2, they still look kind of pudgy. Exercise is the difference between thin and toned or "skinny-fat".

I was googling that a while ago and there were a bunch of sites that said basically wherever you hold the most fat is the last to go. which is sooo dumb but it seems to be kind of true for me, my arms and belly have stayed the same (I've lost like an inch off my lower belly). I HATE my big fat arms and everything has one…

I am the same as you! I eat more than you but I still find it so hard to eat up to my calorie goal (it's also 1200 but since I work out it's usually higher). You're supposed to eat a lot of small meals every 2 hours or so. My parents did this a while back and both lost about 30 pounds within 5 or 6 months. So it works,…

MFP has the protein settings way too low. That said, I haven't been logging on here very long and I rarely even look at those numbers, but I follow how I ate when I followed The Zone and felt really good (not hungry all the time) while losing about 2 pounds a week with absolutely no exercise. On that plan, you're supposed…

How do you guys know what your protein, fat, carbs should be set at to make you lose weight? I've just been going off what the website put for me and I'm eating nothing like what it says I should be eating.

The other posts are right, but if I were you I'd ask a doctor or look up how hormones can affect your weight gain/caloric needs. I knew a FTM trans and he lost a lot of weight by not changing anything other than having testosterone treatments. Hope this helps.

Where do you guys find out how many carbs, protein, etc to be eating? I've been going off what this website says I should eat and I eat nowhere near as many carbs/fats it says and am always way over on protein. And I find it extremely hard to eat the calories it tells me to, especially with the excercise deficit. I'm…

wow never heard of this one! I shockingly passed, maybe cause I live on the stair master.

I just go early every morning and then shower afterward since I'd have to anyway.

I'd say no, I had undiagnosed Tachycardia for at least a year with my resting heart rate around 130 and I was still overweight.

Iggy and the stooges, Robert Plant, Tom Petty, Of Montreal, MGMT, The Sounds, Florence + the machine, The Strokes, Queens of the stone age, Red hot chili peppers next month! :) and that's about all I can remember this early.

i have a cat named pop tart, i call him poppy or poopins. and sometimes banana or bunny (dont ask me)

I'm on 1200 calories a day, granted I've only been counting calories for 2 days now. But I have eaten exactly the same as I have been for a while and I'm at or a little under 1200. I try to eat fruits and veggies for breakfast and snacks since there aren't really any calories and then have 1 or 2 real meals. Certain…

I am one of those people who can't have a little of something; it's all or nothing, so eating a small amount is just not an option for me yet. So I bring something healthy for myself and explain that I'm trying to lose weight and everyone is understanding.

I was on depovera for a year and lost 40 pounds while on it. My doctor warned me though that a lot of women gained an average of 30 pounds from it. I noticed each time I got the shot I would want to eat constantly for the first 2 weeks, I just told myself it was the hormones and either ignored it or made sure I was…

You should be getting the majority of your protein before dinner. It will keep you full longer and like my boyfriend pointed out to me-why would you eat a ton of food when youre just going to bed and not burning it off? It sounds like maybe your problem is how much you're eating at certain times. Also, I dont know if…
