Hi there congratulations on your success. Do you have any idea what your body fat is? Maybe rather than focusing on a weight number focus on a body fat number as it is a healthier indicator.

You know as long as you focus on monetary things (looking smaller) you are setting yourself up to fail. I truly suggest you focus on what you have accomplished. Everytime you make a healthy choice tell yourself Nice job! Atta girl. Start focusing all your thoughts on the positive you are doing and before you realize it the…

I'd be happy to motivate you! I think it's awesome you're focusing on being healthy rather than a number on your scale.

My diary is open as well though I eat a low carb diet which isn't typical for mfp. Feel free to ad me though. Best wishes! Twink

How tall are you? From your picture you appear to have a very cute figure. I would suggest you learn to love your body and not look for faults or compare yourself to others whose shapes are not similar to your own. We women are often way too critical of ourselves. Treat yourself to a flattering top which accents your busts…

Welcome to My Fitness Pal. Feel free to ad me. The first step is the hardest! Have you considered Hypnotherapy to deal with your losses? I would highly recommend it. Often (more often than not) our bodies uses weight as a means of protecting ourselves from pain. When you combine this, the pain you've been through as well…

Please feel free to ad me. I'd be happy to send you encouragement. The first step is the hardest. Train your mind that it will become easy and it will!

Feel free to add me, hang in there! Remember it's not just about losing weight, it's about living a balanced, healthy life, which includes rest, relaxation and small indulgence.

It started in prison, it was meant to say you're available, never have understood why it's so popular. I can't stand them either but my beef is 5" heels. I like wearing high heals but good lord, 5"? I don't want men looking for an adam's apple on me.

The color really doesn't depict anything except world wide there are fewer blondes so being blond is more rare (even here in the states). More rare = more attention, different draws the eye to it. There's been studies after studies. *ETA* Studies also show statistically men prefer the same hair color as their mother in…

How are you calculating your bodyfat? I was using the online calculators and got depressingly high readings. I run 30+ miles a week and nearly fainted when my bodyfat was near 30% and refusing to budge. I then was shown this website by a member here http://www.exrx.net/Testing/SkinfoldProcedures.html and my bodyfat is >20%…

thanks so much for the input, you all seem to echo my thoughts and concerns. FWIW I'm not considering it to lose weight. I'm at a healthy weight, sure I'd love a lower body fat but over all I look fine. I just don't feel fine, my hair is falling out and I have psoriasis. The liver issue was thrown out at me when I went to…

I don't know still nailed it, you can't target an area, all you can do is strength train and reps is the poorest way to build stregnth. My advice is to go to a gym and have a trainer teach you how to work your entire body. While squats are great, they only work one area of your thighs (along with other muscles, I'm not…

very impressive! =)

Hey everyone, I'm QueendeNile on ARFCOM. It's nice to see you and welcome to MFP. Feel free to add me as a friend and I'll be happy to play cheerleader and welcome all the support from you as well.

Another gymboss fan here. I think for me what keeps me going is no wasted movement. I started out setting my gymboss to 30 seconds with a two minute "rest." I would warm up a mile by walking a 4 mph walk, than jog for 30 seconds, walk two minutes and rotate this until I have gone four miles. At first I ended up with about…

If it's a bad habit you can break it. For most (you can vary either way) the craving only lasts 3 minutes. I suggest you take the suggestions given already and also work on over coming your craving. Remember everything you say outloud you say inside 10 times more, so give yourself positive reminders through out the day.…

I could be totally picky but most of the GNC whey powder shakes made me sick unless I mixed them with nonfat milk. They weren't yummy but I didn't toss my cookies after drinking one anymore. I got a tip from someone here about Shakeology by beachbody and I have to say it is the best I have ever had. I'm not going to do a…

catrinah 10 so pretty =)

Good luck Robert. I really like the resources here: marksdailyapple.com for nutritional advice.

great job! What's the 30 day Shred?

beautiful eyes!

I think you're very wise and a great Mom to be taking good care of yourself while you're pregnant. Keep active as possible, especially now you're in your 2nd trimester. I don't know about other Mom's but I had way more energy during the 2nd trimester than at any other time. I would really recommend walking, swimming and…

This is pretty sound advice. My youngest is 14 so keep this in that context. My OB told me that there was no reason to gain a single pound the first six months I was pregnant, that the changes needed to support my baby could take place with my body adjusting on its own. I didn't make any diet changes, I simply beefed up my…

a small indulgent every now and then is called living. I would eat really well all week and allow myself a few extras as a reward. The salt in the chips will cause some water retention the next few days so drink extra water to flush it out. If you want to be as sin free as possible than opt for the Taco salad with shredded…

I can't say I've slown down any but my body doesn't work the same that's for darn sure. I've been an athlete my entire life. College basketball and track in my 20's--competition mountain bike racer, mountain climber, running in my 30's and a professional hunting guide in my late 30's 40's. I have just always been really…

I don't know how to post pictures in here but I'm 6ft. I haven't lost a great deal of weight but I believe you tall ladies who think no one will notice are being too critical on yourself. We have the good fortune of having more room to spread it out but it comes off and makes a big difference on how we look and feel.…

congratulations, you truly are beautiful--I love the new look!!
