Thank you so much! :)

Thank you thank you thank you!!! =D

Thank you!

Decided today to put on the same shirt and take a new pic. I call this one "same shirt, different day" hahaha. Anyone know how to edit a post so i can ad this photo to the original post? Thanks!

Thanks everyone!! Woke up to a ton of friend requests on here. Anyone who wants to see my food diary it's open to friends! & yes i do earn my high calroie foods. theres a day in particular where I walked over 5 miles to have the calories for chinese food for dinner. haha. It's been a crazy lifestyle change but I'm content…

This website. I started losing weight on my own before picking back up on here threeish months ago. I have a ten month old son and I have hardly any photos of him and I together from the first few months because I hated how I looked. I told myself that by his first birthday I would be back to where I used to be. He turns…

Thank you everyone! And honestly, i think everyone's body reacts differently to calorie counting. I do not hide anything and would love to open my diary to anyone interested. You can see what I eat and see that I have good and bad days, though I don't really put it that way. It's been a lifestyle change and a big lesson on…

thanks everyone!! I eat between 1200 & 1500 a day on average, but it really varies, I go over often. I'm 5'5"

Oh, I have been! It's taken a lot of dedication.

THANK YOU! =D

Thank you!! So nice to hear all of this. It's hard to see change in yourself sometimes. I appreciate the replies ladies, thank you all so much. :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much! Been anticipating posting this. I'll be posting again once the final 20 is gone :)

Thank you so much. im so close to goal & its wonderful.

As someone whose delivered a baby, and has the stretchmarks to prove it, own them. Who cares if they're there? If / when you get to your goal, be proud of them. Who gives a crap if you have stretch marks if you managed to do what many aren't doing - getting healthy!! When I hit my goal I will wear a bikini and I don't give…

According to your other post you're only 108 lbs..which is UNDERWEIGHT for your height...healthy range is 111-150...please stop trying to lose weight..

5'5" 168lbs 34-31-37 You're fine....I'm not sure what an okay measurement for you would be? What are you getting at?

just a BTW - putting condoms in your wallet is dumb..it causes them to break down thereby breaking...not smart...

it takes 3500 + calories ABOVE maintenance to gain ONE lb...

I see you all over! Friends? I don't have any on here but I see we end up saying the same things often lol.

You could be overestimating your exercise calories, therefore eating more than you should be by eating them back? Just a thought though. Good luck! :)

i dont see any harm in extra meat at dinner. if it increased your calories, i dont see why. as previous posters have said you could also eat icecream lol

Try having some meat other than grilled chicken? since chicken is fairly low cal. maybe pork or salmon or beef?

"I reject your reality & substitute it with my own".

The biggest thing is getting your heart rate up and keeping it up for at least an hour a day to burn fat. Starting at a higher weight reasonably you can do less to achieve this. Such as walking 3mph - 4mph, cycling at a steady speed, swimming, etc. Don't push yourself, aim to improve your time over time and keep at it :)

My son is 9 months old! I'm down 30 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight of 200 lbs, well on my way to a healthy weight :) I'm breastfeeding as well, but my son is older so i can cut calories more so than someone with a newborn..

I think you're over thinking it. If you truly want to maintain, you need to get over the fear of gaining, learn to incorporate higher calorie things and relax. Like everyone's said if you gain one week you know you went over, so you scale back, weight again the next week. I'm sure it's hard but you won't gain back 60 lbs…

Did you take photos? it's not all about pounds.

Just wanted to commend you on a very informative & respectful response. Don't see that often on these forums / topics :)
