Face, mostly. But I can't wait to lose some more weight so that I can make a before and after pic. I just love seeing those, they are so inspirational! :)

The thing is you don't actually change that much. It's somehow like you get 'tighter' as time passes by. I remember getting close to my goal and like Elle said earlier, it was frustrating because in my mind, I hadn't changed at all. This may be due to the fact that I don't have a big goal like others do (I want to lose…

Well fruit is good for you but remember to always do everything moderately. A lot of the fruit that is grown today is much higher in sugar than they would be in a natural environment, because of hybridization, so try not to overdo it :) Not saying stop eating it, just try lowering the quantity a bit, if it's really that…

20-25% women, 15-20% men

It's all about the mentality, I always say. Last year I refused to go on holiday with my parents because I was mortified someone might see me in a bathing suit (and I wasn't super heavy, I was around 140lbs), even though I knew perfectly well that I always see way bigger people on the beach having no problem whatsoever.…

I know that feeling, believe me. Last week was horrible for me too, crappy eating for 3-4 days straight. I sometimes have breakdowns because of my depression and eat until I feel I'm going to be sick. I thought everything was lost, my effort went down the drain and I should just accept the fact that I'll never be quite how…

That's so nice of you to do, especially around holiday ^-^ I don't receive many food gifts but we have a lot of fatty-food traditions here during the winter season. But I usually steered clear of them even when I wasn't trying to lose weight; they're not really appealing to me, haha, so that's a good thing I guess.

Try and log your food every now and again. You'd be surprised how quickly calories can add up. Before starting MFP and logging my food I did my workout every single day but I barely got rid of 5lbs in a whole month. After logging though, I learned to assess my calorie intake way better, and now I can really see results!…

I know, it sucks. Last time I heard something like that, it came from my own grandma. She said something along the lines of "You're so pretty and smart; it would be better if you lost a few pounds." I mean, I KNOW I have to lose some. It's just that it hurts hearing it from someone else, especially someone close. But at…

SW Sept 15th: 138 lbs GW December 15th: 120 lbs UGW: 110 lbs Height: 5'3'' I don't have a measuring tape so I don't really know my measurements but maybe I'll post them later on :) Good luck everyone!!

Yesss, I always battle the negative voice that says "why bother? no one likes you anyway". Sometimes I manage to ignore it, but sometimes it wins (usually when I'm upset or angry and just want to stuff my face with food, lol) Funny thing is, after I eat the "forbidden fruit", the same voice comes again and nags me, this…

I can't wait to reach the first "milestone" - October the 15th. I'm curious how much of a difference it will be from now. I started doing the 30 Day Shred since September 1st so I'll finish that at the beginning of October. I hope all goes well from there. :D

boring

I usually eat in the 1200-1300 cal range and for me it works. I have days when I eat over that but it balances out over the course of the week. But it depends on a number of things, of course. I'm petite so my body needs slightly less calories. Also, I tend to respect my eating hours and I make sure I eat nutritious and…

I'd like to lose about 20 lbs in total, and we'll see from there. I'm around 140 lbs now but I'm really short so I wanna get down to 120, maybe even 115 in the end :]

Basically, I put on about 6.5 lbs during my 3 week stay at my grandparents' during this summer, because all I ate was crappy chocolate-filled biscuits, candy bars & stuff like that. I knew I had gained a bit of weight (I wasn't in the best shape before I went there either). I got back home and wanted to go out with my…

I'm ready to do this!! Can't wait to see what my scale shows on December 15th!! :D

Hello & welcome to the site! I'm fairly new here myself :) I wish you good luck in your weight loss journey!

Hello and welcome to MFP! :D Feel free to add me anytime!

My diary is open, feel free to add me anytime ^^ (I'd send requests myself but I reached today's limit -_-)

I'm 5'3" and I my current weight is 140. I wish to reach about 125-120lbs, depending on how I look.

I tend to reach for something to eat when I'm bored; that's a habit I'm trying to break right now. I also eat sweets when I'm depressed. I tell myself that I'm never going to look the way I want so I might as well eat. It's a terrible thing, I know :[

The cute lace dress I bought for my graduation :]

I was always on the chubby side when I was a kid. Nobody ever really teased me or anything while growing up, and I realize not many overweight kids had it this way, which saddens me now when I think about it. My weight never really bothered me up until the teenage years, when I realized that I had limited choices when it…
