^This. It's the last of my weight to lose really, and it's coming off slowly, but the more weight I lose the smaller the pudge gets.

^ This. Right ankle for me, it gets worse when I run... every single step when I run. Drives me bonkers. Sometimes the left. Both hips during certain exercises. Knees when I squat (like down low, not the exercise).

Not everyone is hitting on you. Some people are just nice. Don't flatter yourself.

Find a brand of skinny jeans with more spandex in them. I wear AE skinny jeans and I don't find them constricting at all.

Children learn by example. Practice what you preach and they'll find their way.

Wow! You look so amazing now!

I buy rolled oats in bulk. They're extremely good for you and you can mix them with a little bit of pretty much anything. Fresh fruits and veggies tend to be cheap, just don't buy too much at once because you're better off buying them more often than letting any of it spoil and go to waste.

Vanilla soy latte. Especially if I make them at home, they come in at around 65 calories (I use almond milk and honey at home though).

Skinny jeans. That's all I can say. I prefer straight leg, and I have to order them online from AE.com because they don't carry them IN the store anymore. Like skinny jeans are the be all and end all or something. They're nice, but don't go with EVERYTHING and certainly aren't for EVERYONE. Try a lot of different stores.…

^ What he said.

I like the sparkly one!

Being completely delusional about portion sizes and what goes into food. I miss eating without a care in the world.

Same, but it's when I'm sitting in the old lecture halls at school that have the hard plastic bucket seats. I'm constantly shifting because there's not much fat padding my bones against the seat anymore. Also, I'm ALWAYS cold. My body hasn't adjusted to the lack of fat, I guess. And I can't stack my knees when I lay on my…

A girl I work with has said this more than a few times to me! I'm like, no, just band size. Cup size is the same. (Technically, the letter changed, but because band changed it's the same cup size... Who invented this system? lol) 38C to 34DD. Yeah, I don't think I lost any boob. Thanks, though.

My aunt asked me if I was sick. She's a nurse, so that was understandable. A friend at work as me if it was intentional. He's a doctor, so that understandable. Several girls at work keep asking me if I'm done and just going to "tone up" now. Like what? A friend of the family actually asked who I was, which was weird.

I have five so far... My bf has three. Tattoos are great :)

I bought a cheap digital scale (brand is Thinner or something like that) for $20, then when I got home I used my dumbbells to check it's accuracy. It reads about 0.5 lb lower than actual, I just make sure to add to the number when I weigh myself.

Gosh you guys, thanks :blushing: It's nice to know that other people are in the same situation as me as well. Bellies don't just happen, nor do they just go away. I should be glad I've come so far.

You guys are super supportive, thanks :) I still feel as fat as I was five months ago, so it's hard for me to see a difference in myself. Glad I could help motivate you :) Most people who share pictures don't have my body type, so I figured I'd represent the buddah belly and how stubborn it is to lose weight from.

Pictures fixed, now you can see all of it.

The only way I've seen it done is with a cheese grater, so I'm sure that will do.

Last time I made curried chick pea salad and served it with crackers. Everyone loved it. It's basically like a tuna/chicken/egg salad :) (I mash my chickpeas with a fork, but a food processor would work too. Suraj Chick Peas - Chick Peas, 1 container (2.2 cups ea.) Pc Plain Greek 0% M.F. Yogurt - Greek Plain Yogurt, 0.5…

5'9", medium build, goal weight 140-150

Since starting my journey I've pretty much given up meat. So now I'm anemic. Surprise! If you consistently don't eat meat please make sure to see a doctor and have bloodwork done. I had bruises that would NOT go away, but since I started taking iron (by prescription ONLY, because taking excess iron can be detrimental to…

Ditto. Some of us just weren't meant to have great *kitten*. No matter how many squats we do.

Pizza. A large Dominoes Brooklyn style to myself basically. Pizza is really hard for me. Carbs and cheese and sauce and oh my. So I don't eat pizza much anymore, or limit myself to one slice. Snack days at work, but it's impossible to say how many calories we eat (the department goes nuts), but we eat a lot throughout the…

Thumbs down. The only water intake you count is plain water or some kinds of tea.

I keep it open. I eat as healthy and clean as possible, so really, if my friends on here see that I'm losing weight and want to see how I'm doing it, it's all there. Every indiscretion is tracked to show that you can fudge your diet but still stay on track and lose weight.

I've never been skinny, however I grew up in a house where there were no scales so my weight was never an issue. I didn't get teased about it except for on one occasion is Grade 8, and I made it clear to him he couldn't talk to me that way. Right now I'm at the lowest weight I've ever been and I feel great, even though I'm…
