The one to two pounds a week rule generally applies to a person who is not under a physicians care and generally not significantly overweight. It would be difficult and extremely unhealthy for a person who is 20 pounds above their goal weight to try to lose 6 pounds a week. Under a physician's care, a person who is 100+…

You should be proud of your new body because you worked hard and you look great!

I was feeling the same way. About 3 weeks ago, at 5 pounds from my goal weight I took a break from counting calories. I'm still focused on making healthy food choices and exercising regularly. I've only lost a half a pound since then but I think I've gotten over the burn out on calorie counting. My 30 day break is almost…

I' m almost 5'8" and I look best between 135 and 140. I'm at 146, in a size 8, right now and still have some tummy and upper thigh issues.

I think this is The Doctor before he was The Doctor.

Jayma Mays, not so much with the wig, but in your other pics. More like Dita Von Teese in your profile pic.

I injured my ankle a few months ago and wasn't able to walk for 4 weeks. Fitness Blender has a few low impact workouts I really like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoZsTarI9uA

Fitness Blender has so many different videos to choose from, probably anything you could possibly want.

I was told "You didn't gain weight until your quit smoking, so if you start smoking again you'll lose the weight quicker." I was like "really?! " It wasn't quitting smoking that made me gain weight anyway. It was the constant snacking that I replaced it with. Another one is abdominal exercises can cause women's vaginal…

Liam Hemsworth... Donna is one of my favorite companions.

America Ferrara... but not in Ugly Betty.

Thanks for sharing! :)

I think he's totally sexy with or without hair, maybe even sexier with his head shaved.

Body weight x 10 is a supposed to be a simple way to calculate BMR, but I just don't buy it. Does a 300 lb person really need to eat 3000 calories a day?

I put the chicken carcass with celery ends and leaves, onion, and carrot ends in the crock pot for the whole day. Then I strain, refrigerate, and scrape the fat off the top. I use it for my gumbo, jambalaya, and soups.

I look like I'm terribly sunburned after a hard workout. I've had strangers suggest I use sunblock since "redheads need to be careful in the sun."

The first picture is me at 166. The other 3 are after losing 19lbs. weightloss by momm22boys, on Flickr

I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I've lived in the surrounding area all my life.

You should definitely be doing some strength training. I started out doing only cardio and eating at a deficit thinking that was all I needed to lose weight. I lost weight but I was still shaped like Mrs. Potatohead. I started doing mostly body weight exercises along with a little cardio and the shape of my body has…

You do look great! And I love your dress.

That's a major change in just one month. You look great.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work.

I made it to the last 10 pounds club last week. I have 8 pounds to go.

My hair reaches the middle of my back and I have to wash it after getting really sweaty or my scalp gets itchy. What I do is apply shampoo to my scalp only. I try not to 'wash" the ends of my hair everyday. I water down my shampoo and rub my scalp only. The length of my hair gets clean as I rinse the shampoo out. Since I…

Wow, you look great, even a little bit younger.

I think I'm an apple. I carry all of my weight in my mid section. My profile picture is my before at 166 and my current at 152. I still need to lose about 17 lbs, but it's progress.

Way to go! Keep up the good work.

Laziness and overeating caused me to become fat. I gained weight when I quit smoking and became a stay at home mom. I started smoking cigarettes at 15, quit during both of my pregnancies, but started smoking again within months after they were born. I didn't have trouble losing the baby weight. I was back down to a size 6…

That's impressive. I say you should do what works for you. Congrats and keep up the good work. :smile:
