  • I have always have the thighs/hips problem even when I was at my thinnest, however when I was thin I didn't mind so much because it looked good because I was curvy but small my waist size was small but I had to wear a little bigger size because of the hips and thighs. Maybe just do some exercises to thin them out but you…
  • This is my goal too :smile: I am medium because I am curvy I was 115 before kids but I think 130 is good for me now
  • Mine is open to my friends too, add me if you like-I am a routine eater so alot of days M-F especially I eat alot of the same stuff
  • You can add me if you want : ) I notice we have the same starting weight and goal weight, Good Luck!
  • I agree I eat only 2 servings of fruit before 3 pm and lots of veggies, water and of course protein, btw Congrats on your weight loss !!
  • I have not actually created posts but I do reply and I try to comment on friends status everyday because I like the same in return to motivate me for the most part everything is set to friends only including diary though, Im a friendly mfp-er, but serious too after all were all here for the motivation from our pals to get…
  • Make sure you measure yourself too, your probably losing lots of inches, as well and perhaps eat more of your exercise calories
  • i know what you mean I had lost weight between my second and third child 65 lbs to be exact and my sister in law at the time (I am now divorced from that family) had just gotten gastric bypass and lost over 100 lbs and the first 100 was just sittting on her butt I lost my full 65 on my own and every time we had a family…
  • Very good point these are the things we keep to ourselves most of the time in our private moments,I think my worst fears are one that my children and husband being ashamed of me as well as not being there for them especially since heart disease runs in my family and my brother had a heart attack when he was 32 (yes he…

  • I am bad about wanting to jump on the scale everyday so I do it every 3-4 days and only record once a week, just know that if one day you gain a lb and the next day you might be down two that the body fluctuates that is why people say just once a week but its a bad habit for me too so I at least try to weigh every few days…
  • I had been asked quite a few times if I was pregnant of course it bothered me but it was by people I barely knew so I shrugged it off. Last August after being off work all summer(I work at a school) a coworker asked me" If I was in the family way" in front of a few other coworkers Having never heard this term used before I…

  • I think it's time to treat yourself to some new clothes at least a few new outfits at a nice store and then buy a few nice pieces at nice Goodwill's or consignment shops until you hit your goal then go on a big shopping spree
  • i also just watched Supersize Me and wow I don't think I want fast food again! I will make a note to watch FatHead rileysowner, thanks. Last weekend actually we had Arby's and it wasn't even ten minutes after I ate my stomache started cramping so you can notice how our bodies are changing the way we process the bad foods…
  • I was born with hypothyroidism diagnosed at 4 weeks old actually and it was controlled my whole life and monitored and therefore I was a normal healthy weight some would consider thin as a child. Then when I was pregnant my weight skyrocketed and now three children later it is hard to lose the weight. Between my second and…
  • Me too!!! I know what you mean and like you said you don't even feel like your that big yourself until you see a picture of yourself so until you get the awakening you need to see where you actually are but I catch myself especially right before I started this journey doing the same thing or I'd look at smaller people the…
  • Between three pregnancies with having hypothyroidism I gained at least 50 lbs with each child after being a thin child, a divorce thrown in there and lots of emotional eating there you have it. I cant help the weight gain with the pregnancies the divorce is done and over and Im remarried happily so now I have to learn to…
  • Congrats on your upcoming marriage!! Since he has been with you for five years I'm sure your exactly what he wants in the way your built other wise he would've been looking at one of those places for his future bride, plus if hes like any other bachelor he was probably drunk when he got the dances so he doesn't even…
  • New shoes, athletic stuff like a heart rate monitor, a special date night with a new outfit, I do this for each milestone I reward myself my next reward will be a manicure/pedicure when I get to 200 and my first one to get to 215 was a pair of expensive gym shoes
  • I agree with the previous post to wait until after you have children first then pay for the procedure during your consult tell doc your planning on having kids and see what he says also
  • http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/dairy-queen/ice-cream-cake When I know I have places to go where I may be tempted I eat lite early in the day get my exercise in and indulge a little because it is part of life and if you know your going to be tempted just have a small piece and move on, Good Luck and enjoy!
  • I used to buy WW scales and after few months they would do that even after replacing the batteeries, I use Taylor scale now and have had it for a little over year now and it works perfectly it weighs 2-3 less than the doctors scale however at the doctors Im wearing more clothes to make up those few pounds difference plus…
  • Im the complete opposite waking up early is better when I have to go work because I dont have as many chances to eat plus being on a schedule keeps me in a routine with everything including when I eat, when Im at home all day on weekends and summer Im more likely to eat when Im not on a schedule
  • My son is overweight as well, his doctor doesnt necessarily want him to lose just stay active and eat healthy because they still have to grow, so they just want him to maintain I guess until he hits a growth spurt and grows into his weight, he is 13 and at 165 and about 5'1 hope this helps
  • Yes I weigh myself because I continue to eat right and exercise so the past few months I have actually had a loss during my visitors, however if you have a gain or maintain and you feel its because of visitor I wouldnt log it or even worry about it like its a gain just wait a few days after, increase water intake during…
