Congratz and good luck! :bigsmile: 1000 calories seems a little low? I would do some research on that, it could be slowing your weight loss or cause a stall at some point. If you're not getting enough fuel for your body to function, especially if working out, it's going to hold on to the fat With a Death Grip! Created by…

Hey girl! you're doing great, keep up the good work! :bigsmile: I noticed you aren't tracking your sodium? I never used to pay attention to it BUT the FDA suggests staying under 2400mg (my trainer wants us at 1500-1000mg but that's almost impossible if you're not vegan). Anyway, I noticed if I have too much sugar or…

raisins and cinnamon (which also helps regulate blood sugar!) I actually grew up eating oatmeal with butter and salt (now that I eat healthier, I skip the salt.. maybe Molly mcbutter?) good luck! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Chart

you can do it! keep your eye on the goal. do you have a goal outfit? that's basically something cute to wear that is about a size or two too small. you hang it up on the closet door or somewhere IN SIGHT and work towards the day when you can put in on and look fabulous. And when it DOES fit, you put it in your closet and…

I guess they all meant they're goal weight and left! :laugh: the holidays were bad for me... gained a pound or two that week... lost it again so yaay! :bigsmile: how about you girl? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

hehe thanks Oregon... one would have been too many don't ya think? Oh and my office has a lot of guys in their 20s and 30s (aka 12 year olds mentally) and they actually have a big corkboard titled "the Wall of Shame" with embaressing photos snapped of fellow employees... including one of someone in the bathroom. THANK GD I…

Most of the things all people already said - good responses! Also My back will be smooth :tongue: and I will face the camera straight on instead of having it point down toward me to look smaller :blushing: oh! and I'll fit in airplane seat WITH extra room!:glasses: finally, I won't be able to shop in Lane Bryant's and the…

hehe these stories are hilarious! I feel closer to everyone here :bigsmile: So this happened to me last year. I had been losing weight pretty quickly (had ALOT to lose) and so I didn't want to keep buying clothes every couple months. Needless to say, my current wardrobe (aka Fat Clothes) were getting pretty loose. So one…

That's because outside is generally a harder surface. I'm not sure about the exact number, but you are putting XX more impact on your body running outside vs. on the treadmill. The machine is designed to facilitate the running motion (with a shock absorbant surface and a rotating belt). Does that make sense? Happy running!…

That's great! You look awesome, and more important it sounds like you feel awesome :) It's been 3 years for me, I was down 70 lbs but gained back 25, back on track now.. It's a tough road, as everyone here knows! And since it's a LIFELONG journey, obviously there'll by hills and valleys. I always tell people "you change…

Make sure you're getting ENOUGH calories, if they're set too low, your body will start hording the fat because it thinks your starving. Also like someone else mentioned, definitly watch your sodium intake. The preset goals are kind of high on here but you can manually lower them. I think the gov says 2400mg, but I have a…

Awesome! Good luck and remember- we all have have bad days, the key to success is to brush it off and get back on track right away :bigsmile: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Diet Plans

is he for real? tell him fine, you'll go sleep with someone else who appreciates your body until he comes to his senses! I mean, seriously? What's with the "soon-to-be" ex? He should already be an ex! What happens if you get married and have children? will he not sleep with you while you're carrying his child because he…
