  • just drink lots of water to flush out your system..it can cause you to bloat
  • I am kind of the same way. I never thought drinking water was that important in weight loss, I thought it was mainly about what you ate and how much you exercised. Boy was I wrong! The farther I get, and the more I understand my body, the more I realize how important it is. Not only does it hydrate you, but it helps with…
  • If I had your body I would rock that bikini...so yes girl! you look awesome.
  • You look awesome. I love the pic of you holding up the pants you used to wear! you look so tiny and so proud! congratulations!
  • 57 lbs here! Long road ahead! add me, always looking for more encouragement!
  • This girl! I am 5'2 with about 57 lbs to get to my GOAL weight of 115! Long journey ahead! Need as many encouraging friends as I can get!
  • I gained 60 lbs in about 1.5 yrs. I cant blame it all on the Mirena, but it has definitely helped I think with the weight gain. My Dr said that although studies confirm only 3-5 lb weight gain he has had patients experience tremendous gains. I still have mine in, as I am NOT planning on getting pregnant ever again! My…
  • I am 5'2. At my heaviest, about 10 months ago, I was 220 lbs, this morning I am 172 lbs. My final goal is 115 lbs. but right now I am focusing on 160lbs, so I don't get discouraged!
  • My doctor said that although studies show that the Mirena is only supposed to have side affects of 3-5 lbs, he has seen women have huge gains with it in. Over the course of about a yr I gained about 50 lbs. I also quit smoking so that probably has something to do with it to. I still have mine in, and I have successfully…
  • Hey I am 5'2 also, and I am 24 years old! I have lost 48 lbs altogether, although my tracker only shows 7. I started at 220, and I am down to 172. It is truly hard to stay motivated. I have been on MFP for a while but have just started really taking advantage of it and trying to stay motivated by it. I haven't got any real…
  • well I can say that I am just starting with 10 Pounds Down: Cardio Abs by Jessica Smith! Its amazing. She has 3 different 30 min workouts to choose from, all very different. They will literally kick your butt, at least they have mine. Then there is a 4 min workout at the end you can add to boost your over all workout, or…
  • congratulations! I wish I would have taken some 'before' photos! sometimes I have a hard time seeing my weight loss. My ticker says 7 lbs, but actually its 47 lbs total in 9 months. Those pictures are worth a thousand words! You look great!
  • I am a horrible binge eater around my period. For me it usually lasts a good 5-7 days. I will crave fried, fatty food, and sweets of almost any kind. Once I give in, and I always do, I literally can't stop. I am going to try really hard to not give in when my TOM rolls around this month, because I have put in a lot of work…
