I will tell people if they ask, but I try to focus on how much I want to lose. I don't mind telling anyone the number out of vanity (currently at 120 lbs), but it quickly becomes annoying when they go "OMG you're already so tiny! I haven't been 120 in years! You don't need to lose weight!" The thing is, I am under 5 feet…

Artificial sweeteners are sweeter than regular sugar, so beware it will be hard to make the switch and ALSO put half the amount in whatever you're eating/drinking. I think you are very smart to want to make the switch though, and I think it will just take some time to train your palate to like less sweet things. I have…

It depends on how fit you already are, it might be that level 1 is too easy for you to see any changes in your physique or endurance. The 30DS was the video that kickstarted my fitness and weight loss a few years ago. I DID see significant change in my body and endurance after a week or two, but I was VERY out of shape at…

I had the exact same problem BEFORE I went on the pill in my early 20's. The pain was more intense and constant than menstrual cramps, and would last 5-10 minutes. It only happened when I would try to run at more than a jogging pace, and only for about half of my menstrual cycle, as you mentioned, it was the 2 weeks…

I am a 32DD, and I add my vote for Moving Comfort. You can often find them on sale on their website, on herroom.com, or in outdoor or athletic stores. They come in pretty colors. Just make sure you buy the "high impact" versions of their styles, which are sized for band and cup measurements.

People always notice what I eat because I eat a lot for a tiny person (tiny, as in very, very short). I get a lot of "Wow, you must be hungry!" comments, and I regularly indulge in chocolate or a pastry at work as a snack ,which gets comments as well. "More chocolate?!", "You really have a sweet tooth, huh?" What people…

OMG the nipple issue. My husband is forever telling me my headlights are on... at this point IDGAF. I'm not wearing multiple layers or thick clothing when it's hot out and I'm trying to exercise.

I'm 4'11", and have a small frame (size 4 feet in womens shoes... that's a 2 or a 3 in kids!). I can get down to 95 and still not look too skinny or underweight. This was my weight when I was dancing 4-6 days a week in high school and I was pretty much all lean muscle. Now, a decade later, I am comfortable at 100-105. At…

I'm 4'11", and right now am around 115-118 depending on the time of the month (ugh!). My ideal weight is around 100 lbs. It really depends on your body type. I tend to have more muscle than most people, even when I don't lift weights. I also gain muscle easily. So, me at 100lbs looks very thin. Other people my height look…

I will also add that I am VERY short, and some of the weight machines are very awkward to use or adjust. Some of them don't really adjust for me to use properly. I, also, don't like feeling that people are staring at me. It doesn't happen every time, but I really dislike guys that stare. Like, I must be there for THEM or…

I don't mind going to the gym with a friend or my husband, but we cancelled our membership since we rarely used it. I dislike running on a treadmill, and I'd much rather dance or do body weight exercises than use the weight machines. I get bored. I don't like having to wait to use something, or have someone stare me down…

I go to the same 2 grocery chains every month, and I know which days certain items tend to be on sale. I buy a lot of chicken, ground turkey (in tacos), wraps, spinach, fresh and frozen veggies, rice, sweet potatoes, and milk. I have go-to meals that I love, and otherwise I try new seasonings/variations of the same foods…

A lot of menus have symbols next to certain "light" options, and a lot of them specify "under x amount of calories" (which I assume means JUST under "x"). Other menus have a light options section on the menu. Sometimes they have calorie info, too. If you are at a nicer place that doesn't put the calories on the menu, why…

So does mine... it makes me look like I'm about to die. I sometimes look almost purple! I think it it because my fact doesn't really sweat, like the rest of my body does. I'm also pretty pale.

I use that for "playing" in the pool. I don't really swim laps, but I will dive, swim around, float on my back, and tread water. I usually put in 25% less time than I was actually in the pool, because obviously I was not moving around the whole time.

Well, I'm not an expert, but I agree with those who say you were eating too few calories while losing, and your body adapted to that. I don't know how tall you are, but to put it in perspective: I am 4'11", about 115 lbs. I lost 10 lbs. over 4 months this past year by doing circuit training 2-3x a week for 30-60mins. and…

Height 4'11" HW-127 lowest-102 current-115 Goal for now-105 ugw- 96 Age: 27 When I first started working out and watching my calories, I was a few years out of college. I started college at 94lbs, with a dancer's body, great muscle tone... and got up to 113, seriously out of shape, in 6 years. I lost 10 lbs just doing the…

I live in the south and I LOVE good "homestyle" cooking, which usually means a lot of butter, cheese, and fried food! Ahh! I always drink unsweet OR half-sweet tea, or water. Just re-arrange the portions: smaller portions of meats, breads, and casseroles, and larger portions of veggies and fruits. Small pieces of desserts!…

I get people who ask me if I am on a diet (I am, but don't around telling everyone) because I eat in moderation and pretty much only drink water, and have started running and working out more often. If I tell them, yes, I am trying not to gain any more weight (I am 20lbs heavier than I want to be, actually)... They get all…

If you get along with this coworker in general, and you enjoy banter/bickering in fun, I would say he is probably a little cautious of giving you - or others - the wrong idea. Namely, that he is into you, and not his significant other. If you are not as open and friendly with everyone else for fear of being judged, it may…

Well, you friend is just silly! Secretly roll your eyes at her whenever she gets on her soapbox, and promptly forget about it. Sometimes people become crazy diet evangelists when something works for them, and they forget there is more than one way to do it. If she is happy eating her low carb diet, fine, but you can eat…

Look for a sports bra at herroom.com. They have really helpful detailed descriptions of every bra, and it tells you which are "extra high impact".... get one of those! I wear a 32DD and I like the brand "Moving Comfort" - it is high quality/decent price. The reviews all have the reviewer's bra size listed, so you know if…

Yes, there is such a thing as being treated better because you look friendly, pretty, and confident. However, in places I have worked the coworkers and managers did not treat the "ugly" or "less desirable" people any worse, by ignoring, dismissing, talking down, or treating as a lower position. I have found the…

Moving Comfort Bras. I get mine at herroom.com. They are great, just make sure you buy the style appropriate for your activity level.... I choose the ones rated for "high impact". I am a 32DD.

1. Baby Spinach, almonds, feta or blue cheese crumbles, and ken's lite raspberry vinaigrette. To this salad will add either a) apples, b) fresh strawberries or c) dried cranberries or cherries. 2. Romaine and iceberg mix, grilled chicken (I like it spicy!), a little bit of mexican style shredded cheese, a sprinkle of…

Another shorty here with the same problem. I think it has less to do with being short and more to do with a body type that holds onto fat in that area. I always lose my butt first, and I wish I could keep it there and trade my tummy pooch that stubbornly hangs on, even when I can see ribs and the abs I have been working on…
