thanks for all the replies. It was a really scary time. Many people die from septic shock and I managed to stay alive and mostly well at this point (i still have some pain). I just got back from the gym and now I'm eating better and tracking my calories. I just lost a pound today and I'm kinda happy that I broke the upward…

thanks for the encouragement!!

I got BMI of 20 and lower BMI than 90% of people on my age range in the US and 65% in the world. BMI similar to people from Japan

It's not the whole population of Canada. It's just the population in your age group. Younger people tend to have lower BMI

Thanks. I needed that.

thanks for the replies so far. I'm definitely not weighing in for the first few weeks.

thank you for all the comments. I decided to lose one more lb just for my sanity due to weight fluctuations and hit maintenance.

I'm 5'4'' and would like to maintain at 115 lbs. To me this weight is perfect for my built and size. At this weight I feel slim and fit, but not too skinny

What makes you think that she is healthy and you keep defending her. You are the one projecting. Projecting your insecurities that is why you keep defending your weight and making comments about the winner of the show that you don't know about because other people has something negative to say about her weight that…

Really? This question just makes me laugh. Thanks for that

Your condescending comments doesn't help your case. Stop defending your own lifestyle and weight to complete strangers in MFP. Each of your response scream insecurity. You may be physically healthy, maybe you can consider evaluating if you are mentally healthy.

Rachel is a very athletic woman even being overweight. On the finale, she was so weak and probably dehydrated that she tripped and had barely any energy to get up. Her mental status was so off that she didn't even realize she won until a few seconds after. Although that could be all part of extreme excitement because of…

Judging from your comments, it seems like you didn't really followed the show so I'm not sure why you are spending so much time being all defensive about your own weight when we are talking about the BL winner. You are right that the BMI is only a guideline and each persons weight should be viewed individually to deem them…

Height: 5'4.5" Weight: 114 Calves: 13.5 Thighs: different sizes lol. But 19.5 when averaged

First off, thank you for all those who took time to reply to this thread I've started. I didn't expect that I will get so many replies. I'm particularly surprised with the number of people who suggested divorce/separation because of this event. I honestly think this is not NEARLY enough reason for separation. Me and…

You have lost 8 lbs so far which is significant but your overall restrictive diet and lack of resistance training exercise it's likely that you are losing lean body mass rather than fat if you are not seeing changes on measurements and how clothes fit you. Weight loss is not a sprint. It's a marathon. If you did lose it…

Yeah actually he is a out of shape and he's unhappy with his body for years now. I try to help him by trying to motivate him about working out and eating healthy. But he has some issues with overeating/emotional eating. He is a medical student too and when he gets stressed out, he eats unhealthily sometimes behind my back.…

Thanks for all the excellent advice. We are trying to clear our heads and we are planning to talk again about this topic a little later. I think I'm being too sensitive and everyone is right that I really need to be the one happy about my weight and be confident despite what my husband thinks. Knowing him he's probably…

I can definitely see three pounds on my body and I'm about the same height just a tad bit shorter at 5'4.5". 3 lbs is a difference of fitting into the next pant size at least with my height and frame.

I feel for you. I am in the similar situation. I've lost 15 lbs in the last 5 months. I have 3 more pounds to lose before I try maintain. The first 10-12 lbs came off easy with just diet and exercise. The last few pounds have been coming off slower and slower. It irritates me because I don't want to hit the plateau so…

I'm a little bit taller I'm 5'4''and I had a similar problem for years. But now I'm finally losing those last pounds. I'm down to 112 and my goal is 110. For years I've stayed at 121-123 lbs and couldn't get below that until I really took hold of my diet. I realized that I needed to restrict more and really avoid cheat…

Don't worry. I'm sure you don't look overweight. There's plenty of women who are slim and pregnant so they only have tummy and no extra weight anywhere else. I would blame in on the clothes. That happened to me too I was wearing really unflattering clothes like an empire cut shirt and I was kinda bloated in the face or…

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I am in school in the midwest US (I came from California) and the store variety here is really really limited...sigh. Is it ok if I ask how tall you are and your weight. I would probably need to buy clothes online and just want to compare what I needed to get since I don't trust size…

Can you give me a short list of stores that ran small besides H&M. Thank you!:smile:

Exactly what I'm wondering. I know a lot of women that are smaller than me and I always wonder where they shop. I asked a couple of them some of them told me "Kid's section"...that's horrible.

I actually lost a lb. Didn't deprive myself all through thanksgiving, christmas,and New Years but I didn't are bad. I usually don't have a habit of gorging on food anyway. So I filled up my plate once, felt full, then stopped. I also exercised once or twice a week but it wasn't my normal 3-4 times a week regimen

I think I've maintained. At first I thought I gained like 1-2 lbs but quickly went away. It was probably due to water weight because of the salty foods and the fact that I went on a plane ride after christmas to go back home. Now I'm trying to lose 4 more lbs before valentine's day and since last week I haven't lost a…
