I met this guy on a dating website, who ended up being my cousin. So then we started hanging out a lot and we really clicked. I met the love of my life through him haha. He's my cousin and now best friend's best friend. And it turns out my SO's parents were good friends with my parents before we were born. Our dads were…

I'm 5'9", 153 lbs, and I wear a size 11 or 13 (U.S. and depending on the store/brand)

Thanks for all the responses :) I'm definately gonna get to a doctor. I really think its from losing weight since thats when it started so maybe an iron deficiancy like a lot of you said since I eat less... Or thinning of the skin cuz I've heard that a lot too.. My family does have a history of blood clotting though and my…

Tallllll =) Even though thats not a body part lol For body parts: Broad shoulders, big arms..not necessarily well defined muscles but strong still lol and hands =) I like big hands.. little ones are girly

5'9" =)

A gazillion crunches lol Idk I'm workin on that myself... I know Jillian Michaels has this abs video... maybe thats good? Idk anyone whose done it though

I AGREE. I mean there probably are circumstances where it may not be your fault... But I mostly agree lol

LOL thats like my mom. She tried MFP and said that it "wasn't for her".. Lol in my head I was like "well what is for you then? Its simple, you count calories and you exercise.... You're not gonna find some miracle thing that makes you lose weight without having to do anything." It takes workkkkkk and a change in lifestyle…

Thanks for all the tips everyone =) I deffinately will try a consignment shop, we have plato's closets around here so that probably has some nice clothes.. Idk how much my clothes will be worth there though since I think they pay more for name brand stuff and I have cheapy stuff to begin with haha. I would have someone…

Walmart =) Or ask around, maybe some family members have some stuff they don't want anymore that'll fit you. Or just get a few things. Like I just bought a new pair of pants that were like $20 and thats the only thing I've had to buy new.. Lucky for me I've never been too big on top so even with losing 30lbs, my shirts…

Idk, like I agree it could be weird that someone randomly asks for your number like that.. But this could be a good place to start a romance or at least friendship that could lead to a romance... There are a lot of people in similar situation... Like the biggest loser couples addition.. But like not haha.

I use leftover soup =) I get Campbells Select Harvest. They have one soup thats only 50 calories for a cup (half a can) Its called southwest vegetable I think... Well when I have the soup for dinner I never eat all of it so I save the rest and add it to an egg, mix together, and scramble. Its sooo good. I've tried it with…

I'm 5'9" =)

Thank you everyone =) Definately the confidence booster that I needed. Good luck to all of you as well =)

Took me around 65 days to lose 26 lbs... But I still have 24 lbs to go. Technically it probably took a little less than that because It took me a week or two to really get into things. Like to start eating well and exercise. But I've been on MFP for a total of 68 days now.

I'd say that most like grilled chicken sandwich without dressing or bacon or cheese is probably alright for fast food... Not something to eat everyday though

I recently reached short plateau where I was stuck at 170.. I ate like crap.. but still under my calories, and skipped working out for a few days because I was really busy... Andddd now I'm at 166. lol Noooo clue why that helped but I guess it did

I always notice a huge difference in my upper body first.. Like within the first few weeks. BUT I still have a bit of a stomach and love handles.. They're slowly getting smaller anddd are much smaller than when I first started but thats one of my problem areas too.. I think it all depends on what exercises you're doing…

Yesss. I do intervals when I'm running (2 minutes running, 2 minutes walking... I'm trying to build it up so I can run longer) But when I'm running and I wanna stop I just tell myself "It's only 2 minutes of your WHOLE life, You'll get through it" I do that a lot in other areas of my life too =)

I like to work out alone. I feel like if I work out with someone else I'll get discouraged or they'll slow me down. Once I'm at a healthy weight though I think I'd enjoy working out with a buddy sometimes, it'll make it so I'm more likely to stayyy in shape and go to the gym/ out running/ etc.

If I sweat a lottt and I just recently washed my hair, I'll just shower and rinse my hair of all the sweat... my head sweats a LOT its gross. But I have more of a problem with my skin drying out with showering a lot than my hair drying out... I wash my hair basically everyday unless I'm too lazy to wake up early.

So just did the 30 day shred for the first time a little while ago and omg am I out of shape! haha it definately hits me in areas the gym has not been hitting lol Can't wait to do it again though =)

I just bought it last night and I plan on starting it tonight =) I'll try to join in too, but my results may be altered cuz I plan on doing it on top of going to the gym

I've seen gluten free flour in the store before, Idk how good it is though, I've never tried that

Its a little hardcore ish I guess, or at least for some people but "Carrion" by Parkway Drive.. I have a live version where the lead dude is like "alright come on lets do this" in the beginning and it just gets me wanting to work harder haha

I usually have 1 cup of multigrain cheerios with just enough milk to wet them, normally a little less than a 1/4 of a cup, and then fruit of some sort. I don't have a lot of time in the morning so this is all I can manage but it's by far my favorite meal of the day haha, most normal food I eat.

A little hamlet outside of Albany, New York (the capital of nys =)

I think you should definately try it, especially if you have a free trial. Couldn't hurt =) I think I might buy it (only $8somethin at walmart) and do it on top of the workout I usually do at the gym.. I feel like I need more variation than what the gym offers..

I feel more confident. My jeans and shirts are gettin kinda big. I can feel my bones again! haha hips, collar bone, cheek bones, a little bit of ribs =) I don't feel as jiggley haha I still have fat but it seems to be more toned now.. I don't feel strained when I'm walking, like its no longer a hassle =) Created by…

Thats amazing! I wish I could go to the gym for that long but I get so boooored haha
