Oh yes. I've got a pair of Wranglers that I haven't been able to fit into for about 3 years. Once I am comfortable in those jeans, I'm buying a pair of red Laredo cowgirl boots and strutting my stuff!

I'm 5'2", currently weighing in at 175 and have an ultimate goal weight of somewhere between 125-130 (I tend to fluctuate 5 pounds, so as long as I'm between 125-130 I will consider myself at GOAL) My problem always comes from having a large bottom and a large bust. 5 years ago when I was weighing 125 I was in a 34D (TMI…

I was seriously about to post this exact same question about a week ago. Exercise does help with cramping, as well as eating foods high in potassium BEFORE AND AFTER the workout, at least for me. My problem comes with extreme nausea during that time of the month. Sometimes I'll miss class because I do nothing but sing…

As others have said, get to the closest goal you have and see how you feel :) If you'd like to lose more, adjust your calories and exercise accordingly. If you're strength training, you'll notice you might weigh a bit more, even though your clothes fit better. I'm 5'2" and my goal weight is 125. The last time I weighed 125…

You look great!! Amazing job! :) How tall are you?

Dear 16 year old me, You really DO have enough time to play soccer and be class president. Please don't give up soccer. Don't get a job at K*Mart, unless you want an insane, obsessed stalker to find out where you live, where your grandparents live, and have him follow you all day, every day for 3 months. Stay the **** away…

That's a really good question! I've always heard that when you're pregnant you should try to consume 300 more calories per baby. (So if you were having twins you'd need to eat 600 calories.) I saw that you mentioned that you were going to your midwife later this month, I'd check with her to be safe. There are also a lot of…

It's so amazing for hair! My hair is a weird combination of oily at the roots and extremely dry at the ends. I find that using the coconut oil as a deep conditioner once a week has helped bring a perfect balance to my hair. I also use it as a facial moisturizer, again on combination skin. Haven't broken out once and it…

Absolutely invest in a HRM! There are times when MFP is wayyyy off, either way too high or way too low. The same can be said for the equipment at the gym. The elliptical there will report that I burned 305 calories doing 45 minutes of exercise, where my heart rate monitor will report 500+. A HRM is the greatest tool to…

I'm 5'2" and my goal weight is 125. Based on my past weight loss, I find that if I go lower than that I look disproportionate (This may be TMI, but I'm a 34 DD and have never been able to lose weight in my chest. I don't want to be too top heavy so 125 is good for my chest size and frame.)

Height: 5'2" Starting Weight: 167-170 :-/ Current Weight: 157.5 Goal weight: 125 :-)

Here's what I've been doing for the past two weeks (have lost 2.5 lbs so far) Soooo I do cardio for one hour every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (I try to go between the elliptical, treadmill, and bike to keep myself from falling too much into a routine) and then Tuesdays&Thursdays I usually do 30-45 of strength or circuit…

If I'm picking up around the house, doing laundry, etc (stuff I normally do) I don't count as exercise because I'm not exercising. But when spring cleaning comes around and I'm down on my knees scrubbing floors and baseboards with sweat dripping off my nose, you bet I'm logging that as exercise.

About three years ago (at my heaviest weight in my life) I was at my fathers family Christmas party. My aunt came up to me as I was making my plate for dinner, and criticized every single thing I put on my plate. She said, "Ya know Kellie Jo, you ought not to eat this stuff and try to lose some weight, instead. You never…

I'm from Ohio, too! I don't go to the tanning bed, either, so I use Neutrogena Build-A-Tan. I use is 3-4 times a week and it's really amazing. It gives you that "tan" that you want, but it's a very subtle tan and it gives you a fantastic glow! Also, it's amazing for helping to cover up stretch marks (the tanning bed…

I wondered the same thing. I had been putting in 30-45 minutes on the elliptical 3-5 days a week, and it seemed like I was constantly going to the bathroom! Like you I'd changed my eating habits, but I'd also begun taking a multi-vitamin. I don't think it's anything to worry about. I've read that exercise is a good way to…

You are SO inspirational! My current weight is 160 and I'm also 5'2". You have inspired me to buckle down and get serious about my health and weight loss. I hope that I can look as good as you! Congratulations, girly. YOU ROCK!

Thank you! And if you want to get down to 125 I'm sure you could! I'm learning (slowly) that this isn't something that is going to come easy! :) If you ever need encouragement, let me know

Thank you! And congrats on your weight loss! :P
