Height: 5'5" HW-217 Current-175 Goal for now-150 UGW-135-140 We'll see, I want to keep my muscles for derby! Age:29/Female

Yes yes yes! A thousand times yes!!!! Thank you so much for posting this, it's really refreshing to see someone who has lost weight in both a physically and just as importantly mentally healthy way.

This is why I hate that show. Makes me so mad I see red. I could rant on and on about it, but most of the previous comments said it all for me. The only thing I can add is that for me, personally, I started losing weight faster when I started eating more and exercising more. I feel a lot healthier and energetic and am WAY…

I'm pretty sure I posted to this board a while ago, but I didn't log into MFP for the first 3 months of this year, so I'll go ahead and re-introduce myself. I learned to skate in 2011 and had a setback last year when I injured my knee. I just moved and am hoping to join the local team when they recruit again in October, in…

Request sent!

I eat a lot, but not usually all of them back and I have been steadily losing. Sure, I could not eat them and lose faster, but I'd probably be a cranky pants and drive all of my loved ones away. I am much more interested in losing weight in a way that I can sustain than losing a lot really quickly and then gaining it back…

I have a fitbit that helps me track my activity, so I eat a good portion of my exercise calories back. I think if I actually only ate 1200 calories a day I'd be super cranky, I don't know how other people do it! I usually end up eating around 1800 a day and I have been losing steadily.

I'm really only competing with myself but we can still be friends! I log just about everyday.

Oh oh, me too! Anyone can add me, I log everyday and try my best to comment on people's updates and progress. :)

That's a really good question and something I hadn't really considered, right now I'm just excited by the prospect of getting there at all. I guess if I have the $ when the time comes I'll get some jewelry making equipment like an engraving block, or maybe a super snazzy pair of custom made roller skates. I figure new…

A square or two of dark chocolate or a frozen chocolate dipped banana. Dark chocolate is good for you, right?

Age: 29 Height: 5'5" Daily Calorie intake: Anywhere from 1500 to 2100. I love my fitbit, helps me tailor each day's intake. Workouts:I've got really limited cash flow at the moment so it's rollerskating, running, and free online videos like this one:…

I've got tedonitis in my achilles and was taking ibuprofen to help with the inflammation. I decided at some point that I didn't want to be on painkillers all the time and started looking into other remedies. Someone suggested I try turmeric, so I started taking supplements and found that they actually do help me. I can't…

Ok, but you have to bring that wallabee/kangaroo/whatever-it-is-it's-frikkin'-cute with you. I want to put a little harness on it and walk it around the neighborhood.

I can't remember for sure whether or not I have GERD but I do tend to get terrible heartburn. I take an omeprazole (generic prilosec) every single day and for the most part that seems to do the trick. If I skip even one day it comes back with a vengeance.

My friends and I did an "Iron Chef" challenge once, where we got together once a week with a theme ingredient. We came up with some pretty tasty stuff, like corn nut brittle and doritos mac n' cheese.

You can have my gin&tonic when you pry it out of my cold, dead fingers. Add me if you'd like! P.S. I love that you have a section just for booze.

Aw shucks, well now I just feel like sunshine and rainbows. Cyber hug accepted!

Due to recent unfortunate events I had to move out of my place, and a friend took me in like a sad, stray kitten. She's a diabetic and hates cooking so she usually eats crap. Since I've moved in I've been doing most of the cooking and convinced her to start taking short walks with me after work instead of vegging in front…

Not really an answer to your question, but I've been DYING to share this somewhere, and this seems like a good thread to do it. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running Now, as to actually answering your question, I have a friend who said it took her a year. Personally, I'm in the same boat as you, I don't like it but I keep…

Music makes a HUGE difference for me. If I don't have my headphones I'm totally worthless.

I recently confessed to a guy that I had always had a huge crush on him. He said he felt the same way and kissed me, and a week later had a girlfriend. Turns out his girlfriend never took down her dating profile and they broke up, so he missed his chance at me. I want to get fit and rub it in his face. I realize this is…

1) favorite city? San Francisco 2) perfect vacation? New Zealand 3) favorite exercise/lift? Roller skating 4) celebratory meal you'll have when you reach goal... Probably Thai food and ice cream. Definitely ice cream. 5) living person you'd most like to meet and why? Tina Fey or Amy Poehler... don't make me choose! They…

So sorry you are having to go through that. I would guess that if you are exercising regularly your butt may in fact have gotten bigger, but in a good way! Do you live with your family? Is there any way you can move out? My dad is similarly assy, I found that once I moved out it was a lot easier to deal with. People seem…

I was going to say you have gorgeous eyes (I'm a total sucker for blue) and you look like a total sweetheart. @pchesnut

I like to gross my friends out by eating the shrimp heads at dim sum. Crunchy!

Eight pounds in 3 weeks sounds like you are doing pretty well to me. I'm only losing about 1/2 pound each week so it's super slow going, but a loss is a loss. Don't give up!

I don't own a scale right now, so I only weigh myself about once a week when I go to derby practice. I'm trying to make this about being healthy and not just losing weight, so this works well for me.

I'm still getting the hang of the forums, I can't remember who it was who was having trouble posting a pic, but I wanted to reply to her commment. I wasn't sure how to post pics either, make the IMG parts lowercase and it should post.

I get the typical eyes and smile, sometimes hair. I ONCE got a compliment on my butt, it was weird, I really didn't know how to react. :P
