Toronto here! Add me if you'd like, although I am not very active around here, not enough time. Congratulations for the baby!!!!! You'll lose the weight, don't worry.

Sadly yes. I have it too. My face is kind of long. My face was kind of skinny even when I was fat. I lose weight from top to bottom.... First my face, then I lose my boobs, then my middle, then my bum, lastly my thighs and legs.... What can I do? Not much.....

oK. First of all, congratulations! What you did is amazing! Secondly, feel free to add me as a friend, because I don't know if you can see my photos if you're not. Now I believe that you feel fat at 157. Sorry to agree with you, and I already know the other posters are disagreeing with me. They say you're skinny. I believe…

You are doing fantastic!!!!

what a story! Obviously you are fine now without the tyroid, just amazing!

Visible difference, you are doing amazing!!!!

I eat about 2000-2500 cals a day. Sometimes in the weekend more. I go to gym 5- 6 times a week. Usually I lift weights for about 30- 45-60 min and after I do cardio another 30-45 -60 min ... ( depends, if I lift weights 30 min then I do 60 min of cardio, and the other way around. Also it depends on my energy level...…

Kale is amazingly healthy. Personally I remove the stems and steam it. Then eat it with tzatiki or cottage cheese. Alone isn't very pleasant, a bit bitter..

You lost 25 lbs and nobody notices? They must be blind! Unless you are one of those half-a-ton person, ( which I think you're not ), it's impossible for 25 lbs to go unnoticed. They must be jealous!

I want to say "thank you" for all the good suggestions.... K Mart we don't have in Canada..... I do go to Costco and a Chinese store nearby.... I buy eggs, milk, yogurt, meat , nuts, chocolate, cereal, etc in Costco. Fruits and vegetables from the Chinese store, sometimes I even buy "reduced" stuff, if it still looking…

I don't really understand this circuit thing.... How to you do weights for lets say 5 min then go jump on a cardio machine for another 5 then go back to your weight training, and again, interrupt it soon just to go do a little more cardio? Pardon me but this just doesn't make sense. How are you supposed to even fatigue a…

I have some extra skin too, on my boobs and belly.... not much on my arms. I use pure Argan oil to massage into trouble areas after shower and I think it works.

I am jealous on all of you with big boobs.... mine went from 34C to next to nothing.... pancakes..... 34B with padding and pushup... I don't get out of the house without a pushup bra......

Maybe dark chocolate... loads.... hard candy...... ( takes a long time to keep your mouth busy )..... tictacs..... Not that I follow my own advice.... but I am always ravenous and eat way more than normal people.... but then I exercise more than normal people too..... generally speaking I go with the "listen to your body"…

You need more calories . Surplus will build muscle. You might get a little bit of fat along the way, but you can burn that off after bulking. I do recommend protein shakes immediately after workout unless you can go home and eat a good meal with protein within 30 min of finishing the gym. If you cannot, ( and I can't, by…

5 min cardio warm up 45 min weight lifting - I do one big muscle group and 1 small muscle ( big ones: back, legs, chest ), ( small ones: abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders ). About 3-4 exercises for each muscle group, 10-12 reps and 4-5 sets each. Following that 15-30 min cardio. Wonderful results for me. Starting to look…

Super nice result!

5'7 too.... just turned 39 years old..... I stated at 151 lbs this January, , and very happy now at about 129lbs. Link to my success story is in the profile. I have been maintaining,( +/- 2lbs) for about 1 month. This site is wonderful!

Don't believe it. Not possible. I looked at your diary. It's fairly clean. And little cals too. Machines aren't accurate,and trainers are not perfect. Just human. Take pics. You will see a difference in those if you really gained fat.

Thank you..... Yes, I have no choice but to eat what is in the fridge. Don't want to go into details but I just cannot "get rid " of it/ ( moral reasons).... so I am enjoying it even though I am fully aware it's terribly bad for my shape. As for exercising, I will try to do another 2 hours tomorrow. One more question...…

I mean I want to look like a fitness model :)

That is not a lot of fruit. It's normal. Lots would be like me.... grapefruits ( about 2 a day), one banana, a box ( 1lbs ) strawberries, apples ( fuji large ) about 2, and tangerines ( mini, little ones, about 10 ). There , did I make you feel better? So I don't think you have too much fruit, unless you are a diabetic or…

Thank you all! A little bit of "celebration" over the weekend and I went up by 2 lbs.... Not worried though From what I understand I need a little extra calories to build muscles. Also I changed my routine, from now on it's 45 min weights and 30 min cardio. Hopefully I will build up a little bit! Lots of love to all of you…

Cogratulations!

Good job, I see a big difference!

Really amazing!

I don't know why I cannot edit my post. ... Since I had to run and did not finish..... I'd like to thank all my fitnesspal friends, who have been extremely helpful and supportive.... Also I would like to say that one of the most important things is to be truthful in your diary even when truth is unpleasant. You will be…

Amazing!!!! And the baby is sooooo cute!

Truly AMAZING!
