Okay, here's one of my FAVORITE snacks! All you need is: 1) A banana! 2) Some chocolate peanut butter! Now, peel that banana and spread 2 tablespoons of the dark chocolate peanut butter on top of it, eat it, and ENJOY THE AMAZINGNESS!!! Best part? It's only 280 calories!!!! :drinker: You can still fit an additional TWO…

Mine is from a month ago. :smile:

My boobs definitely got smaller, although I didn't *technically* lose a cup size, but lost several band sizes. Went from 36D at first to now a 32D. Honestly, I think my boobs look slightly saggy and deflated. I may be being overly critical of myself and they may really not be that bad, I'm not sure I guess. But I'm quite…

I generally don't like to drink my calories, so I stick mostly to water. That being said, there are a few types of drinks that I simply am not willing to give up and I think that's okay. With the drinks that I'm not willing to give up I either drink only very low-calorie versions of them or drink them only a couple times a…

If 1200 was working for you to lose weight but was hard to maintain and 1700 was causing you to gain weight...maybe try something in between? Maybe something like 1400 would cause you to lose weight more slowly but be easier to maintain?

After calories, the next most important thing I try to restrict is fat. Some fat is good for you, so I just try to limit the amount of fat I'm consuming. Since I started toning up recently, I've also been focusing on getting enough protein so that I don't lose more muscle than fat in the weight loss process. Sodium and…

You know, my whole life I used to wonder why ON EARTH anyone would want to buy a dress for a formal event at a thrift store or consignment shop. Every time I went into one, there were only like 3 or 4 dresses and they were all old, ugly, very used and abused looking, unfashionable, and VERY matronly. I found out just a…

For prom, most girls at many schools still wear full length gowns. It just depends on where you live. I live in the South and at my prom in 2006, just about every girl wore a full length dress, but some wore shorter dresses too. It's pretty much whatever you want as long as it's pretty and flattering and formal. If you're…

AMAZING!!!!! I can totally see the weight loss in your face! I'm the exact same way! I gain and lose so much in my face. Your face was very pretty before, but now it's even MORE stunning! Your eyes are looking bigger and they're standing out more! Congrats girl, you look GREAT! Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:
-
LOL! I feel the EXACT SAME WAY about thin mints! I am seriously SO GLAD that I don't live with my parents. They keep so much junk food in their house it's honestly ridiculous! It's so hard for me to control myself whenever I visit them because junk is food is all around me staring me in the face. :grumble: I have no…

When I'm using the weights, I can only think about doing each rep properly. All of my mental energy goes into counting, form, pushing myself, etc. During cardio on the other hand, my mind is thinking a million different things! There's a the occasional "I can't do this! I'm gonna die! Why do I keep putting myself through…
-
Biggest one? Definitely the boob shrinkage. :sad: I was happy at first when they started getting a little smaller, but now they're getting too small. If they get any smaller, I won't have anything left! :sad: And not only are they small, but they're not perky and they're now deflated and sad looking. :sad: Oh well, at…

YESSSSS!!! I <3 GREEK YOGURT SO MUCH!!! I seriously cannot even eat regular yogurt anymore lol! I love the thick, creaminess of greek yogurt plus it's so much healthier than those other watered-down yogurts. My favorite kind is this: <3 <3 <3

The bad news? You're doing something wrong and that's probably why you're not seeing results. The good news? It's SUPER easy to fix! And it's FUN! You get to eat more food! YAY FOOD!!! Seriously though, your body needs the fuel of food to survive and function properly. You should be eating at or at least close to the…

LOL!!! I love the gif! And dancing! :laugh: But yes, persistence definitely pays off! So many people I know and see on here have lost weight so much faster than I did. I don't know, maybe that worked for them. But slow worked for me. It's also helped make the changes I've made more permanent. And I think that has made it…
-
LOL! Honestly?? Laziness! :tongue: It took some time to dig up all of those old photos and decide which ones to use. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but have been procrastinating. When I finally reached my original weight goal the other day, I felt that now it was a good time (and good motivation) to make this…

Hi again, everyone! First let me just say WOW! I am so speechless at all of these replies and all of the messages I received from people! I still can't believe so many people actually READ the novel I wrote LOL! :laugh: Thank you all so much for all of your compliments and for being so sweet, so kind, so encouraging, and…

Age: 25 Height: 5'4" Highest Weight: 178 Current Weight: 129 Goal Weight: 120-ish, give or take a couple pounds (I'm near the end of my very long weight loss journey and right now I'm more focused on toning, strength training, and getting my body fat % down some instead of weighing a specific number.) Any twins or almost…

OP, honestly if it were me, I'd dump him. In fact, I'd have fun with the whole thing and "surprise him" when he comes back by leaving him a card or slip of paper saying I'm calling off the engagement and breaking up with him. (Or if you live with him, I'd totally pack up all of my stuff and let him come back to the…

Oh so many things I hated about being overweight! Thank the LORD those days are gone! :bigsmile: -Low self esteem and feeling ugly all the time -Looking older and being mistaken for being a skinny friend's parent :( -Chafing on my inner thighs! Ughhhh! -Not being able to walk much in heels -Having a "spare tire" around my…

You can add me! I'm 5'4", 25, CW 129 lbs, GW 120-ish lbs. :)

Lol that always happens to me too! I think all of the ladies in here look FABULOUS!!! We should be proud of the curves that God and our mamas gave us! :bigsmile:
-
Okay, I took a picture for you all! Here's me and my massive thighs lol!
-
Yeah we all are! You're REAL close to me! In fact actually, I think I was at your EXACT stats just several months ago. Now I have only 9 more lbs to go! :D Good luck! You can do it! 15 lbs is real close! :D
-
Oh good! Because lately, I've been feeling anything BUT curvy lol! I just feel boobless with a fat bottom half LOL! But I shouldn't. I should be proud of my pear shape! I just measured myself again and I'm similar to you, only a little bigger. 36" bust, with 38.5-39" hips and 22" thigh. My waist measure at 27.5". Woo hoo…
-
Does this club include people who still have big hips, thighs, and butts...but practically no boobs?? I've lost so much in my boobs but my hips, thighs, and butt are still big. It makes me so sad! ;(
-
Girl, please do yourself the biggest favor and DUMP HIM!!! Then work hard on losing the weight you want to lose to feel healthier FOR YOURSELF! And then in a year when you look all hot and he comes crawling back...don't even give that jerk a SECOND of your time! The best revenge is just to live a healthy, happy life!
