Great job, keep up the good work!! WOOT!

don't know why but this thread made me very happy. Good luck to you! :drinker:

I lost 36 pounds and didn't go down one size. My back fat went away, and I wasn't spilling out the sides any longer. But the bra size remained the same. I am sure if I ever lose the last 15 or 20 I will go down a size. My body will be healthier, so I don't care one iota. :flowerforyou:

It takes awhile for your mind to catch up with your body I will say I am 139, have lost the better part of 30+ pounds and still think I am ginormous. But YET I look at another woman my size and think she is beautiful and perfect. Go figure

Ok seriously? You aPOLogized for you knees? :noway: You have made me want to go lift some dangum weights! Holy goodness you are hawt lady. Great job:drinker:

In my 20s my ex took not so flattering pix of my backside at every function. I guess he thought it was hilarious, as he was mean like that. We had 3 kids so I was always bent over a cake, present, child or pumpkin. Never a nice face shot of me laughing with the kiddos as he sat in the sidelines. Nope just my fat azz. Then…

tampons, Midol, boning knife :devil:

Thank you for this challenge. I have been 'goner do' for months. Now I am DOING it. :love:

{{hugs}} don't cry, you DID it!! WOOT!!!

I am actually quite happy as I thought I would have to start on the wall, but I started on a chair level! I did 4 then walked away and came back to do 4 more! I will make it to the floor with you promise

day 2 done:love:

Plz ignore I am a mod, as I know no more than anyone else here-this is only my experience. I love MFP for it's simplicity. Anyone can over complicate any thing, but this is quite simple. I put in my info, it tells me for 1/2 pound lost in 1 week I should eat 1350 a day. This does not include any exercise, only your daily…

Don't read the title of the thread and write down all this very good advice!! A m w a y..........

The dips surprised me. It was really hard to do, which means the poor tri's have had no attention whatsoever. I cannot find my weights, so ended up using my green band for bicep curls used the chair for push ups. Not sure how fast I will progress there, but I am aiming for form more than a number.

Day 1 done! I forgot and will be one day behind, but I DID it. Thanks for the challenge

It is great that you are reaching out. As many have said, the good news is you can lose weight with a caloric deficit using MFP to log all your food. If and when you feel you can, then you can walk or add some sort of exercise. Hope you're having a painfree day:flowerforyou:

Ahhh, I wondered how long it would take you all to notice that. Obviously as a Volunteer Mod I ignore no one.

I find the little drop down arrow below the persons name and click IGNORE. Problem solved. Life is too short. :flowerforyou:

Plus IMHO and experience, I ate higher protein so didn't lose a lot of lean muscle mass. Grant you, I like the look of lifting weights and doing squats, but there are times it is near to impossible. I lost 35 the first time around and 15 or so this time. This time in deficit only. Now that my pain level is down, I will be…

my hairy dog

reading People again?

This is so true! People will say things to me they never say to my friend who would stare them down. She has commented on this also. Strangers feel the need to tell me my hair is nice, or that color doesn't look good on me:laugh: As for OP, I am a jokester so I would laugh and say something like "Yup, made 2 pairs of 'no…

My Health:flowerforyou:

I saw that on TV the other day and really wanted it LUCKY YOU! I LOVE dancer's bodies, so would enjoy the video and the results. Put on So You Think You Can Dance tonight and see what the girls look like on there. Lean and muscular, very athletic. As the above poster said, you also have to follow a good diet and I would…

Thank you! I was going to say it is the first fun thread in a long time that caught and held my attention. Great writing, OP. Oh and I have been thinking of picking up a bunch of daisies. What type do you suggest for a single woman living alone in the US :wink:

My first reaction, but it is a program about advertising not about men vs women in any way shape or form.

the way I figure it, if I cannot do what is listed I will either break it up through out the day or not do as many. If I make it thru 30 days I will be happy and my arms will be stronger:drinker:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines Let's move forward so the thread doesn't get locked down, no one gets a strike, and the OP can have their thread. It is turning into a Hi-Jacking back and forth between a few members. PLEASE MOVE ON. 1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation a) Do not attack, mock, or…

leebestoad has explained things very well! I wish everyone could be so kind and thoughtful. What they have explained took me 2 years to learn on my own and without all the fancy calculators :laugh: MFP Works! If you log every morsel of food, stay within your calorie goal, move more then move up to scheduled exercise, you…

I am 5'2" and petite. Wore a size 6 ring at 170+ pounds. When I was 105 pounds I looked good, not sickly. NOT that I ever have a desire to be 105 again. I was under 25 and that was me then. Now I am 52 yrs old and at if I want to be 125 pounds, to lose 1/2 pound a week, I have to eat like 900 calories a day!. NOT happening…
