I was awakened by my internal alarm clock; namely, my son who likes to start his in utero calisthenics before I even get up in the morning. :-) Makes me downright giddy to feel him in there.

Go to your doctor. Did you payyour physician a visit before embarking on this health journey (which, by the way, kudos for doing so)? Your doctor knows your health and can better explain why cutting soda isn't doing it for you. I've lost 5 lbs in the past by changing nothing but quitting soda. So it's not impossible. But…

I'm no pro, but that seems legit. If you were able to easily trim the fat, I'm guessing the bacon had low marbling. Having only eleven grams, think of this. You have about 4 kcal's for every gram of protein. There are 9 kcal's for each gram of fat. Four kcal's go to each carb (though with bacon, that is irrelevant). So…

Well done, woman! Cheers! I hope you don't mind, but I'm totally going to use this ghosting idea when I compare my future pics. :bigsmile:

Those legs, though!! :heart: :heart: awesome!

First, your Kermit and Ms. Piggy photo: I LOVE IT!! Next, awesome job! You look fabulous! Do you still have no holds barred weekends? That sounds better to me than a cheat day, honestly. Again, awesome job! :smile:

I feel as though you should stand your ground on how you wish to eat. While it's important to respect your father, you shouldn't have to endure ANY belittling from him in regards to your diet. You most certainly should not be teased about how you look (especially from your parents). If he is genuinely concerned something…

That smile, though! :bigsmile: You're adorable!! You look great. Congrats on the progress!!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

As someone stated before, you're at a healthy weight right now. As far as the soda, drink it. BUT have you tried alternatives to soda? Like club soda (seltzer/tonic water?) flavored with a natural juice? That may help you come off soda if you are willing to try. I drink soda, too so I don't knock it altogether. :-) If you…

I apologize if someone has already said this, but there is a way to log your exercise so it makes more sense to onlookers. If you do a lot of the same workouts daily (or often, whatever), it will be listed for you to check off in an exercise log list. If you check off all your exercises at once, your TL will say something…

Putting yourself into starvation mode is not exactly the ideal way to lose weight. But, being acquainted with people who purposely starve themselves, I know it works. But they constantly do it by choice. They aren't stranded on an island or trapped in some vehicle. But as others have said, if you starve yourself to lose…

First off, congrats on your success so far! I think it's awesome that you're changing yourself for the better. As far as your dear friends are concerned, they must be shown this journey is important to you. They must understand there is nothing wrong with you and if they are not going to directly support your endeavor,…

Oh no. Soon, I'm gonna have the same gripes as all of you! ;-)

I would attrubute that to clothing, unreleased excrement, water weight, and food still in your intestines. Of course, you didn't exactly eat well, either. Just go back to eating properly and your weight should go back down. Don't panic. :-)
