looks amazing! BUMP

bump sounds amazing!!

I know how you feel. When I had braces (for 2+ years) I was nervous about having them off and it did feel really weird for a while. But you find that you smile more...you can eat what you want again! and it isn't as bad as you are expecting when they are taking them off! Trust me :)

bump

I've lost a back size without losing a cup size so I still look the same up top...Does that make me abnormal? :sad:

Every time I had a milkshake I'd throw up :sick: I think that is counter-productive lol! So for me it didn't work!

Every so often I eat what I want regardless of calories. I might still work out but I go a little over i.e. scoff my face. Now, to some it doesn't work and some people don't believe it. I find that it does work FOR ME. It makes me work harder, it also confuses my body. Again I do believe I doesn't happen to everyone but…

Started in August 2012 my bmi was 30 (35% bf) Now my BMI is 25 (29% bf) :drinker:

Food intake and workout dvds. Cheaper than a gym and you only pay once!! Also YouTube has some pretty good workouts. some short and sweet (which I love!) and other not so! Have a look and see what works for you? Walking is another one, I don't do it as often as I'd like as I get a bit lazy indoors/feel lonely walking on my…

I find my boobs are odd lol. I started at 40FF...I've 38FF now. The lady said I will only be losing my back size as opposed to cup size ... why I have no idea. :noway: I was hoping to go down at least one cup size....not too much though :wink:

I don't record it! Although this time I lost a pound :S

^^ This, I have one friend that does that. The other skinny(ish...totally catching up!! :happy: ) one now understands that I'll eat what I want if we go out for a meal...and now she does the same lol. Burgers all the way!! :love:

Lol, If I eat only 1200 I get soooo cranky. literally like this ... :grumble: 1400 is a good aim and I am adorable if I eat that much. AND I still lose weight :D

I hate the "but you don't need to lose weight" comment....whilst they are eating a salad and complaining that their size 6 body is sooo fat. :grumble: Dude, I'm overweight and trying to lose, accept it and move on with your life.

"You've lost weight...it suits you" ... yeah like its a hairstyle!!! I felt like saying "really? well chubby was so 2009"

water! when my stomach growls I go for water. It has helped in the long run :) mine has shrunk without me noticing!! :drinker:

bump! amazing stuff.

mine are very similar. the bones in my legs aren't straight so my feet stick out. what I did was to keep at it and keep practising. I couldn't do squats weeks ago and now I am a lot better.

I feel you on this. I'm in the exact position. I'm experimenting with more eating, less exercise on day then switch. More water. more exercise, more weights more cardio. AHHH!!!

I've only gone down a back size. Not even a cup size. Yet I've lost sizes in clothes and everything. It's so weird. Was expecting to lose a lot more. Doesn't go with the logic!

^^^ this. My goal is to get to that and then see how I feel. I have nightmares about losing my boobs!!

water. water. water. I've learnt this and trying to stick with it. The moment I want to eat my fridge (along with the shelves) I have a glass or two of water. and it settles. Now, I am NOT saying I do this every time...but I TRY! Some days it just wont work. others it does. Some days I try to work out too to distract me.…

looks sooo yummy! craving chicken atm too lol

^ This. And don't just quick add! searching adds all the other stuff like protein, sugar and sodium which is good to keep track of too!! We all want a quick fix but all of us on MFP have realised it just isnt going to happen! You'll learn that soon enough. Once you're past that you'll be just as happy when you lose 0.1lbs…

I understand completely! I fell off the bandwagon this Xmas and I was lucky to have my mini community on MFP to support me back into exercising and good food choices. Feel free to add me. I'm 21, in the UK, 5"4 and also aiming to get to 145lbs...I also love my dogs!!!! :happy:

^^^ This, definitely me. :embarassed:

I loved it. However you lose inches more than pounds and that can be disheartening for some people. I used it as the first exercise to get me into exercising rather than sitting watching tv!

^^ this. Water. I drank 10 glasses last night (without realising) and I lost two pound....won't happen every time but water seems to help me lose it more. I put on 3lbs overnight once because I binged the night before. Don't look at the scale if you have eaten too much the day before because it may be disheartening. Feel…

I'm a total binge eater. my emotions are way too linked with my food. it's to the point of worry for me. I've been doing a lot better but xmas hasn't helped. I'm trying to up my water intake to prevent it but its difficult. I always forget to drink :noway: odd i know.

I'm in. going to use ankle weights!
