Vacation to somewhere warm in the end of January :) ..need to buy a new bathing suit!

You look awesome! I don't see as many people as heavily tattooed as me around here :) love this!

You look amazing :) I am 5'9 and around 245 right now...I've been as low as 160 before and thats the weight I really felt good at. We have fairly similar stats! lol, congratulations, keep up the good work!

Hi there! I have a similar starting point, I weighed my heaviest about 2 weeks ago at 250lbs. I've used MFP before and got down to 160 then injured my self and put all my weight plus more on...I am trying to get it off now, forever. Don't think you have to do everything at once, baby steps is the best way, just try to make…

You're probably not eating enough calories, if you only need to lose 10lbs than you should aim to lose .5lbs/week - changing this will increasing your daily calorie intake and you won't feel so hungry.

congrats! we have similar stats :)

I haven't reached goal, but I think you will have to continue to log. It will just have to be a way of life , but thats okay :)

I try to look at that as it is not moving UP ;)

When girls purposely talk extremely ditzy....listening to people eat kind of bothers me (really crunchy foods) - the first comment about cereal really cracked me up - I feel you. Also when people smack their lips (thats the worst one) ....*head explodes*

I've never been pregnant and I don't want to have children. So I just have them from being straight up fat. I don't have a cool reason to have stretch marks, lol.

I currently use Mederma. I used it when I was 14 and growing and it seemed to work well at turning them silver. But they just look super red and pissed off and well, everywhere right now.

looks great! love banana muffins!

I honestly just woke up one morning, and thought I couldn't stand to see myself the way I had become anymore. I went to workout that day and started eating better.

Eat carbs. You need them for energy. Thats why you feel like garbage. Just eat HEALTHY carbs. Like whole wheat bread,pasta,etc and fruit. You have no reason to cut out carbs.

a) complain b) confront c) move that's all I got.

-any fruit / fruit salad right now i've been buying local peaches and sprinkling cinnamon on them. -greek yogurt ( I eat about 2 tubs of this **** in about 3 days) comes in lots of delicious flavours, I usually just get low fat/sugar vanilla though, and mix it with granola and fruit. -smoothies! especially for hot summer…

I think you're eating a little too low. I'm around the same stats, I'm 19 and about 168lbs. Mind you, I'm female and 5'9 lol I eat 1500 a day, and eat about 70-80% of my exercise cals back. I think you should eat a bit more and start a weight lifting regime.

You're hired.

Southern Ontario :)

brussel sprouts..MUSHROOMS (everything about them...blech....even the psychedelic ones ;) ) and cabbage. Dx

I don't put makeup on for the gym...but sometimes I go there after work, or in the middle of the day (after running around doing other stuff) So before you start freaking out realize some people have jobs and other **** to do before the hit up the gym....but yes, i must agree putting it on SPECIFICALLY for the gym is kind…

Normal calories :) but make every single one count ! No processed foods, whatsoever. Not even cereal. No artificial sweeteners. There are things that many people claim to speed up your weight loss, like drinking green tea and black coffee ( I do both each day because I like the flavour, lol ) but its worth a shot ! Also,…

Your BMR is what your body burns doing absolutely nothing (breathing,pumping blood,digesting). If you decide to get out of bed that day, shower, put the dishes away, do laundry, go to work, etc...you burn more. So even if you sit at a computer all day you'll burn an extra 200-300 calories ON TOP of your bmr. For me my BMR…

I usually wear super short spandex shorts under a pair of looser/longer shorts - instead of underwear. Nothing worse than gym wedgies and people everywhere.

For me it has been, ever since I hit a healthy BMI, my body has been like...HELL NO !

I also have the polar ft4. I really like it, and I really like the interface and the personal info you can input to it. But pretty much anything with a chest strap will be the most accurate. I used to have the Timex Health Touch (no chest strap) and it was never accurate.

Sweating is just your bodies way of keeping it cool. Hence you can sweat just laying out in the sun. Burning calories ( getting your heart heart in a certain zone or higher ) is what matters. & doesn't require sweating, however it usually results in it.

I second that. x 1 million.

I think everyone needs to lighten up a bit. Yeah, being overweight / obese sucks. There is also a lot of harmful things that people say and do out there. But everyone raging on that comic post seems pretty dramatic. Have a sense of humour. Also, stereotypes have to start from somewhere... the comic suggests the person…

I usually buy a carton of eggs and have one over easy on a piece of toast or something. But you can also buy little milk like containers of egg whites ( in Canada anyways, dunno what the rest of the world does) I eat egg whites almost every day, no fat or carbs. Just calories and protein! With lots of pepper, lol
