I too struggled with the thoughts of loose skin when I first started to lose weight. Right now, I have extra skin just about every where, but I know some of it will go away. Now I much rather have a bit of loose skin over extra weight. Awesome progress and thank you so much for sharing. :flowerforyou:

Some good reads http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1235566-so-you-re-new-here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/872212-you-re-probably-eating-more-than-you-think…

I want less attention and that is why I am losing weight, so I don't stand out.

I don't yet and it has been over a year of losing weight. My highest weight was 254, and I started MFP at 226, so over 100lbs lost from my highest weight now. I see it in pictures, but there is so much more to lose. I am getting closer to fitting into the size 10 jeans I got from AE and yet am in disbelief over them. In my…

Depends on various factors. How active are you during the day? Did you set MFP to Sedentary or to another activity level? The activity level is daily activity, not including exercise. Read these post too http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants…

I eat back 1/2 of my exercise cals and have my profile set on active with 1lb a week to lose. I think I might burn more than 1/2 but so far I lose at that rate so not changing things. I also do an excel chart of calories and weight lost to get a better idea of my maintenance intake. Check out both links…

You look wonderful. Amazing job! :love: Thank you for all the advice you guys have provide in this thread. I plan on starting with body weight exercise and will be picking up the Body by You book. I do plan on lifting heavy eventually. I am aiming for a healthy, strong, flexible, and fast body. I think I am going to start…

I am soo going to try to make these. Fail I might, but too cute to not try. Just leaving these here for the cuteness factor.

But what about the toxins in your couch? o.O They are everywhere. It is like aliens planted all this to slowly kill us off so they can take over the planet once we are all dead. Okay, so yes, I prefer more natural products, but in no way do I force my opinion on others, nor comment on anything. I do not eat clean at all,…

Putting the story aside. I don't think any of the guys I dated did anything out of the normally. When I was younger, yeah a few might have worn nail polish and make-up, but that was so long ago. I wore make-up as a teenager and young adult. I have hardly worn make-up in the last few years, but that is because I have really…

Great now I am looking up Hot Topic :grumble: Is how my pocket book feels. And I do not think it matters where you shop.

Used to eat the endangered brand, but the last few bars ended up in the trash. I like all chocolate but I tend to over indulge in milk, so I stick to dark. I tried the Chocolove almond and sea salt, not bad. However, not a salt in chocolate fan. I have a Theo bar as well to try. So happy to see this thread as it give me…

32, had 3 kids, lost 92-ish pounds. Loose skin, yep, I got it. A little under my arms and a little in my thighs. I have a ton of loose skin on my tummy. I will have loose skin, I hated the fact for a long while but have gotten over it. Seriously, I have so much I want to do with my body and I will not let fear or weight…

Thank you for the great reminder. I am so glad to have great inspiration here on MFP. So many awesome ladies and men to help guide us. :flowerforyou: It has taken me a while to really change my lifestyle and it is still chaining. I started getting my mind into losing weight in Dec 2012, lost 20 up til May 2013 than gain 10…

I like this topic. I am trying to understand what hungry in myself is. I have so many calories in snacks and am now trying to limit that down. I like sweets and am trying to cut that down to a couple times a week. Over all, I need to up my game and get better nutritious food in myself and family.

So much awesome-ness here. What a great NSV, made me tear up a bit. :flowerforyou: :heart:

Thank you for sharing!! Awesome work. :flowerforyou:

Sums up how I feel about it too.

I plan on getting my legal name changed when I reach my goal look. Not much else but that.

I 2nd or is it 3rd this? If you don't want to work out, don't. You are either eating more calories than you think if you set at a deficit or there is something medically wrong. Your eating habits are number one when it comes to losing weight. Exercise can help you eat more and is for overall health. I second reading this…

Sometimes salt or mustard I do not log. I probably will log forever, somehow. My kids love using my scale and it helps keep the snacks even out between the three. I use a scale in baking and stuff, so no big deal. Logging and weighting food helps keep me accountable to me. I will have extra without thinking about it. This…

Sooo needed this this morning. Sometimes I do not think my body shape will ever change, even with the next 30lbs. Thank you :flowerforyou:

1st baby was tiny and had no issues with a mother's apron, and now, after baby #2 & #3, and lots of extra weight, it is there. Baby 2-3 weighted 9lbs 2ozs (37weeks) and 8lbs 15ozs (35 weeks). I have lost 88lbs and my tummy is still huge, it will probably be the last area to really go. I will look like a worm from MIB >.<…

Hey, I agree, you want someone other than your doctor to help you out here. La Leche League Leader or a nutritionists would be best. Now, when I breastfeed I never tried to lose weight and never really did either. I know sometimes you will have a harder time, that being said, it does not mean you can not track and try. The…

Really depends on your interests and most of the time manga story lines are somewhat different from the animated version. My personal Studio Ghibli favorites are Up on Poppy Hill and Whispers of the Heart. Devil is a Part Timer is great. Had to second that one. Sword Art Online is good, along with Log Horizon. However, all…

Thanks ^_^ Thanks to litsy3 as well! BTW I would give others comments but rushing around trying to move today. Will try to pick up this tonight of those who have been missed too!!

Pretty sure this is about Escloflowne, not MrTolerable. >.> Escloflowne, your girl is a keeper. No way will she leave you if she has put up with you for this long!! ^_^

Because all the cool and awesome and gorgeous women of MFP are doing it. Did I mention you are all lovely? I am currently a 18 and I have 3 different looks I would not mind, # 2 or #5 or #11. :blushing:

65lbs is awesome! :flowerforyou: I am 10 years older than you, and honestly wish that 13-ish years ago I would have maintained the loss I had made :( I got into the relationship I am now, and got pregnant, no longer cared. I am now working to undo the damage I have done. I still have a year left, maybe more, until I reach…
