I weigh every couple of days, but only record the number on Mondays mornings.

At 207 I was a 16 bottoms and xl tops. Now I'm 173 and loose 12 bottoms and m/large tops. I am pear shaped and 5'6

I've lost 16% of my starting weight! And when I hit goal I will have lost 33%! :D

I'm a nanny, I take the kids to the park almost every day and since it's been nice we usually walk there. Which gets about 3000 steps just walking there and back. If we drive to the park, I tell the kids to go play for 10 mins while I walk around the play equipment. I am still super close to see them and help if necessary,…

I like the Rise bars myself, Cliff bars are too sweet, IMO.

A little bit, definitely. I lost about 50 lbs a year ago, but I gained 35 back. I got to 159 and I hated the way I looked. I like the way my body looks when I'm 180, but my blood pressure doesn't stay consistently in the normal range unless I'm 165 or less. So this time around I'm going to lose the weight and keep it off…

I third your OBGYN. There may be another reason for it not showing up. Or maybe there isn't, but you need to rule out the other possibilities

It's worse for me the week before, so I just weigh once a week and take that weeks weigh in with a grain of salt. If I know my eating was on point and that I did my 3 workouts (minimum for me) that week, then it's just hormones and body fluctuations. I don't sweat it.

^^^ This!

I got New Balance underwear for running at TJ Maxx and they are AMAZING. They do not budge when I run. For pants, my favorite pair are capri legging type running pants, I think Danskin Now (walmart brand) and they tie at the top! Tying is essential for me lol

I am training for my first half! It's May 23rd, my 24th B-Day! I found a 20 week marathon training program online and really loved it, so I took the long runs and cut them in half and the plan seems to still work (I am on week 3). I am definitely slow, and it is hard, but I want to complete one!

I am 5'6, and it takes about 15-20 lbs for me to lose a pants size. But almost exactly 15lbs for shirts.

Thanks to everyone for the constructive feedback! I appreciate it!

Completed the workout! And also mostly if I remembered a water bottle haha

Butt and thighs are the last to go. Boobs are the first. When I gained weight back after a foot injury, I was bummed about putting 25 lbs back on but Lord is it nice to see the ladies again LOL! I lost about 50 lbs the first time, and only went from a 16 -12(tight) in jeans, but my shirt size went from an XL to a baggy…

You look amazing! How tall are you?

Definitely in!

I have only lost about 45 lbs (give or take depending on the day lol) but have been maintaining that for about 7 months. When I first started losing weight, I think I lost my first 20 lbs from the upper half of me and that meant bye bye boobs. But I have noticed that in the last few months they have been looking a whole…

I love a good tall Guinness or Newcastle... just don't over do it! And also, don't weigh in the day after drinking. It is just bloat, not actual gain.... unless you went crazy on the alcohol lol.

Haven't given up anything and I have lost 34 lbs in 6 months.

I really love being single and wouldn't change it for anyone right now. So even if the hottest, richest, most accomplished person ever proposed to me, I would tell them no. It's not worth my freedom. If I am older when I meet someone I genuinely care about, and they are less accomplished and less attractive than said…

none of my friends or family would dare say anything like that to me. they know I would go off on them. if you are a b*tch to me, I'm gonna be one to you! IDC who you are .

Just track your calories, move more and you will lose weight. Don't get caught up in gimmicks.

I get where you are coming from, but I have seen a doctor, and he said where I am at is fine. They way in which I carry my weight is why he is happy with my weightloss this far and why he is OK with me staying 175 (if I decide to stay here). I am a 12 in pants... and a Medium in tops. Almost all of the weight I now need to…

in the last 2 weeks I have been sick with a stomach virus, which is why my days have been off recently. But I have been holding pretty steady at 175 for about 6 weeks.

Thank you everyone! I am definitely not quitting!! And I do have a very scary family history for weight related health issues (my father, and his father both died in late 40/early 50s from weight related health issues) which is why I decided to start losing weight in the beginning (I had HBP at 21 years old!!) I still…

Delete the "friend". I am completely serious. We are here to encourage and yes keep accountable the people on our friends list but just because you do not eat clean, does not mean you are losing weight the wrong way or unhealthy way. Please do not feel guilty about eating ice cream and enjoying some Applebees!

Check your priorities. You should be doing this first and foremost to be healthy and vanity should come second! Why would you "give up" a healthy lifestyle? Having ice cream is fine! Go eat the ice cream, just make sure you have the calories for it. Take a walk, clear your head, check priorities and get back on it…

this!

There wine section is AWESOME! oh and its really really really cheap! like 3-10 dollars for a bottle! haha but besides the booze, their hummus is pretty tasty!
