Vitamins, green tea, water(i drink enough)

I started with 15mins on my elliptical, that's how out of shape I was. Day by day I got better and now I can go 1h without stopping. I also bought new roller blades and I'll try to join a yogilates class soon(I would rather go strength training, but the doctor told my bf to do pilates, so I'll tag along). After 3 weeks of…

I have the same problem and I think we should both buy a HRM.

I discovered Subway recently(it's pretty new in my country) and now it's the only fast food I ever visit + Nord See sometimes.

Massages are great, but also expensive if done by a pro. I'm not sure about long term, but it was money well spent. I don't have pictures, but the difference is huge.

I was in a bar with some girlfriends and we had a candle on the table. We were there from some time, so the candle went off. Then a guy walks to our table, puts a new candle on it, tells me that he could no longer see my face in the dark and walks away. Now that was super sweet, too bad for him I had a bf.

Working, but my vacation is 1 week away and I'm not at all in the mood

Be patient. It took me one year to lose all this weight, but it was worth it. It feels awesome to finally be the thin one that can look good in almost anything. Just hang in there and be optimistic because it will change your life for the better.

I am 28 and back to my 16 weight, so yes, you can :)

I am slowly upping my cals and started working out to tone and feel better. I am also in need of shopping for my bottom half because I stored most of my fat there and now everything I have is too big.

My b'day is the same as Obama's :)

Nope because I'm not a very healthy person

I've lost my boobs!

Sounds fun and you look great :)

My wake up call was when I got a bathroom scale and found out that my bf weighs less than me. I knew that I was gaining weight and was insecure about it, but those numbers made me do something about it. I'm sure yours still loves you and is still attracted to you as mine was, but you should do something about your…

I'm not sure that 'eat a cheesburger, lol' and calling them 'damaged goods' is helpfull. People are so suportive with the overweight and so judgmental with the ones who have self image problems. I was never overweight, but very close to it. Where I live, girls my age(~29) are very thin, a lot even underweight. Add that to…

I keept it private until people started noticing. Now they keep on asking when am I going to stop(I already have). My mom keeps on bringing me chocolate gifts and doing her best to stuff me with fattening food. I do my best to avoid her until she gets off my back. Also she used to tell me to cut my hair all the time and…

Those things are evil, they feed on self esteem!

Celebrity pictures are photoshoped a lot. I tell myself that all the time, but they still get to me sometimes. Beach photos of them tell the truth and many are far from perfect, so why should we try so hard? You are beautiful in that photo and I'm sure you're still as beautiful with a few extra pounds.

I think this gets better with age, but I don't know if it ever goes away. In my HW days I was avoiding people all the time, but now I do go out. I will never be confident in a bikini no matter how good I look, so starving is not an option. Maybe try to do some sports because it will make you happier.

All of the above + in my case taking some vitamins helps

Swimming and roller blading

Troll all you want, but bulky leggs will in fact look shorter.

It really depends on what you like. If you want to look strong as the OP does, then squats are ok, but if you're more into the lean long look, then avoid them and go running.

I am doing the same, but I'm still at the slow calorie upping part until I reach maintainance

My cat Moody at 3 months :)

I lost all my weight using only MFP. It was slow and I regret not exercising, but I've started to and it feels great. I was at 1200 for 3 months and now I'm slowly upping my cals to maintain. For me the 1200 was an avg of 1lb/week loss, but I really wished I ate more and exercised instead because now I'm skinny fat instead…

I only have some 'east european granny science': pop them with a clean needle and put some of that white skin that's stuck inside an raw egg shell on them(no idea how to describe better)

Twilight + Titanic

I am proud because now I'm at my highschool weight, I'm still on MFP eating healthy instead of 'celebrating' my loss. I'm specially proud I finally started working out(using the elliptical I bought 3 years ago + some rollerblading)
