Did Sara ask what they thought of her face? Cause doesn’t sound like it. Unsolicited, especially negative, comments about somebody else’s body are gross and rude.

Hahaha I like your nose! It’s distinctive is all, so I can definitely tell you’re the same person. Excellent work, thanks for the motivation ☺️

she has the same tattoo on her foot. and the same nose. just a different angle.

I am rolling my eyes so hard they're spinning

I have some progress pictures from basically my first month-- nothing too wild, but I was pretty happy considering I basically only do it 3 times a week and eat in a 1-1.5 lb/week deficit. I'm 5'5.5" Measurements on start- Jan 8th Bicep: 12.5" Neck: 14" Bust: 38.5" Waist: 32.5" Hips: 46.5" Thigh: 25.5" Measurements - March…

Old Navy is pretty rough with their vanity sizing...I knew I was in trouble when suddenly their size 14 pants were tight on me.

I have to give this thread props! The first time I read it I wanted to start lifting immediately but it took me forever to gather the courage to go beyond 20 pound dumbells...now I'm 7 weeks into SL 5x5 and I am so excited at how visible the progress is already. I'm sure I'll have a good before/during photo to show off…

I once got down to 155...I've been 170 or higher since I started weighing myself at 14. Getting there was much easier than staying there, honestly, because what I was doing (watching my calories) was working. I was so excited and decided have a cheat meal or two to celebrate it and before I knew it-- six months of cheat…

220ish to 165ish (I'm 5'5.5"). This was from eating within my calorie goals and jogging/walking 3 times a week. Sometimes in front of the TV. I gained a little back, and now I lift heavy and do some yoga but that's just because I wanna make sure I don't lose muscle as I lose fat. I eat the same stuff, I just…

heh

I went down a shoe size too. All of my shoes are too big for me now.

Mostly people don't say anything...except a lot of folks talk to me as if I'm judging them for what they eat? Like they'll have a cookie and say "I know, I'm being bad" or something as if they have to justify their food choices to me and I just...I don't care, eat yr damn cookie. If I hadn't indulged in that mocha with…

Waist, then face, then hands and feet. Thighs/hips/arms are always the last to go. I have a "thin arm" shirt that I can only wear when I get down to around 150 lbs. I started with these measurements: 39-36-46 and have gotten down to around 38-28-44

Mint chip is heaven

You are too cute!!!

I eat in a deficit, do StrongLifts 5x5, the occasional yoga and cardio, and I eat a lot of Halo Top. Working so far. Started at 210, am now at 175 and about to win my DietBet >:)

OMG YR LEGS!!! goals! thanks for the inspiration.

Bump! Perfect!

Left (worst before I have...eugh) - at least 210, prob more, in late 2012 Right (during) - 178ish, last week

These are my phone backgrounds.

ummmm oh my goodness

I love my Fitbit. It's super motivating and I like tracking my stats through the app. Having said that, it overestimates my calorie burns I think- if I eat back what it says I can, I don't lose weight. So I don't eat back my Fitbit calories and instead allow myself a bite of my husband's pizza or a sour punch straw here…

You're amazing. Sending you good thoughts.

Richard Simmons hehehe

V interesting responses. At 5'5" and 210lbs I was a size 14/16 (us) and very unhappy. At 170 I was a size 12 and now I've stalled in terms of weightloss but bf% has definitely decreased...i wear a 10 regularly and an 8 in some brands. Very happy about my progress but I am betting at 145, because of how I carry my weight, i…

Yes! Very strange, and unintuitive, but I'll take it!

have you tried calorie jacking at all, like randomly (and very rarely) increasing your calories for 1 day? i run into this every once in a while when i've been consistently losing weight. the first time, after losing 2 pounds a week for two months, i suddenly stopped losing. three weeks and nothing. i got so pissed off i…

I love my fitbit...I realize it's not entirely accurate (underestimates steps, overestimates calories), but it's definitely super motivating for me...I set my activity on MFP to sedentary and eat back about 50% of the calories fitbit thinks I've earned. BUT, since re-starting using my fitbit (took a few months off heh…

I notice that too. People tend to notice when I've dropped around 20, but they notice if I'm making conscious efforts to not eat as many calories and then keep making excuses for why they aren't doing it? And I'm like whoa hey I get it, I was overweight for 25 years despite a good 7-8 of those struggling with my weight…

DANG. GET IT.
