=) I sort of know the feeling!! And that was an amazing accomplishment. Stay healthy :drinker:

I don't think you should try to lose any weight at all. Sounds like you should be working on feeling good about yourself how you are..

This stuff is SO darn confusing to me too... I usually try to eat 1100 calories, and not eat back the ones from exercise.. today and yesterday I'm going to bet netting right around 1100. BMR TDEE make 0 sense to me. =| Ty for posting.. because I might learn something here. ;D

I've got 74 to lose! You can add me =)

Cool =) It is nice out there. Good luck with your weight loss!!

Born and raised NC!! Now in Myrtle Beach though =) I'll add you. What part are you from? I was born in Smithfield, Grew up in Garner, just moved from Fayetteville. =)

This also happened to me! I got all of the symptoms then they kind of stopped.. and I was a little late, I got worried too. I had a teeny bit of spotting, that also went away. I did panic. O.O But it came, and was just a bit lighter than normal.. not much. Give it a few days it most likely is your body getting used to…

You look less than 174!! O.O You look VERY good!! =)

When my boyfriend orders Reallly yummy pizza.. I stuck to just 2 slices =) I think I did good! I try to not binge at all though.

I've got these!! =) I made mine last week.. I work in a craft store so I had lots of inspiration..and made them for about $4 ;D

There is less of you now :wink: and the same amount of sweat! :bigsmile:

I am not on birth control.. but just now this happened. I've NEVER had spotting after a period.. and today I had some =( Worries me a little bit.. is it normal for that to happen without taking any birth control?

NAYYYY. I watched a loved one try this.. =( I don't wanna see any one *kitten* themselves trying to lose weight.. It made me sad. It isn't easy losing weight.. If its worth having, its worth earning, the hard way =) [Pooing yourself isn't the hard way..]

Apples, cucumbers, carrots =) Mmm <3 I eat 1100 a day. Recently I started using protein shakes to replace a meal, VERY filling. I've also got fat free peanut butter and wheat bread for snacks. For dinners I usually eat a Lean Gourmet frozen dinner. I haven't gone over yet =) There have been days where I had to exercise so…

When you say they look better.. did they shrink? Personally, I'm not that worried about them shrinking a little.. I wouldn't mind if they got smaller and firmer..

I haven't been counting my water at all the past week or so =p I drink a sh*z load.. I only count regular plain water because I don't really drink anything else. I'm the kind of person that gets annoyed when someone says 'Oh, I'm SO thirsty...' and then grabs a soda and chugs it O.o When I was counting my water, I only…

I do know for a fact that the more you weigh, the more calories you burn. So you can watch your calories that you're eating, and burn a *kitten* load off with exercise.

I'm losing 74 lbs =) You can do it. All the exercising and weight loss will keep you busy waiting for him to come home <3

Popcorn!! =) I like to take those Ranch mix packets and put that on their. Yummmm =D

Honestly.... I would cut back on my calories for a few days and EAT =) Its Man Vs. Food :love: I'd exercise a little extra too.. :tongue:

Everyone is having such yummy dinners tonight!! Lots of taco salads =p I'm gonna have a Peanut Butter sandwich =) <3 Haven't really been that hungry today..

Exactly. But it works =)

Ohhh.. Spicy Sweet Chili ='( I do miss them so much <3 I need to write a dear Doritos letter too.. I just dunno if I can! Its been about 23ish days since I've had one.....:sad: I can down an ENTIRE bag of those sweet yummy spicy Doritos in one day. This may or may not be the reason I am here on MFP...

Mine usually HURTS So bad.. this time around I started taking 2 ibuprofens ever 4-6 hours, and I took naproxin morning and night the whole week. I felt NOTHING =D !!!! I don't usually get junk food cravings.. When I do instead of going for chocolate I got some veggies to munch on =) Lots of veggies and fruits are good,…

I would like to have one... but not once a week, that is WAY too often.. If I have a 'cheat' day it is going to be to go out and get Chinese food. =) I mean.. I'll go to the buffet and OH MY GOSH. :indifferent: It can help keep you on track if you have treats every now and then..

Good =) Makes me feel better about it =p

If/ when ;D I live there, I'll be skinny as a stick! I don't think I could ever drive in that place! We visited some family in March..Oh My Goodness O.O Traffic was SCARY!!!

My butt ='( and thighs, and belly. No one at work believed I weighed 214..

This is exactly my problem!! I've been going 3.5 weeks and I keep thinking.. 'why haven't I lost 70 lbs yet?!?' :sad: I keep telling myself '2 lbs a week'. I literally sit there and say to myself '2 lbs a week'. =) You have to take your time losing that much weight because if you don't you will end up gaining it all back ..

I used an AWFUL picture of chunky me, dancing with my non-chunky boyfriend at my roommates wedding =( That was the picture that made me think 'Holy *kitten*'. I've gotta do something NOW. A few weeks before the wedding I was like 'yeah I'm gonna start losing some weight...' I just kept telling myself I was gonna do it..…
