How do you guys check to see if you are big-boned, medium-framed etc.? I always thought I was medium/large-framed, but the other day I checked online to see how this is measured, and according to several sources, I am small-framed!! I am 5'3.5-5'4 and 142.5lbs (down from 198lbs!)

how about CUCUMBER..... and a few sprigs of mint :)

End of July! (I hope!!)

^ what she said :) xoxo

Yea I always take the lower number too! :)

Using my HRM, and setting the resistance to around 10 out of 20 on the elliptical, I burn around 750 calories in an hour. The machine estimated a little more, but maybe was off by 20-30 calories.

You look absolutely amazing!! Great job Laura!! :)

YAY!!! So glad you joined :) :) Everyone is really supportive here. Love u <3

Me and my bf of almost 6yrs :) He is one of those guys that is naturally thin and fit without any effort at all grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I am the same way...I love makeup!! Even at my biggest I always took care of my skin, hair and makeup, and still TRIED to look cute. Now, if I run out of the house with just some concealer on, and hair in a pony, I feel fine. I think in some way I used the makeup as a distraction so people would pay attention to my facial…

Thanks everyone for your comments, compliments and sincerity in your concerns :) Looks like its time to work the core more.

Hi!! :) Welcome...you are in really good company here. Congrats on making the move to a happier and healthier lifestyle. Feel free to add me!

yay :) I love the atkins bars, a bit pricey...thinking of learning to make my own versions of a low-carb protein-packed treat.

Thanks for sharing! I just got mine :)

I have thanks. Although I appreciate the comment, I wasn't really asking for advice as much as I was asking for *support* from others with the same kind of plan... :)

Ditto to what everyone else is saying! You are a true inspiration!! Yay you! :)

I got the FT4, but the bronze version....works really well :) I am sure the FT4M works just the same...I think the only difference is that the M version is meant to be for men, but since you can adjust the settings for your height, gender and weight etc. in the watch, it shouldn't be any different.

Hi there! You look fantastic!! :) It's amazing what a transformation you have made. BUT...I was wondering why you have set your final goal weight to be so low (83 lbs!) ? I don't mean to sound harsh, but it worries me that you might be heading down a very dangerous path...at 5'1 your healthy weight range for a small frame…

You can count me in too!!! :D Don't leave without ME!!!

Looking good! Great Job :)

Hi Max :) You will find lots of support here! Good luck on your journey.

:) It's a great goal to have!! I would LOVE to lose 30lbs by the end of April too!! But I have to agree with some of the comments here...you have no idea how your body will respond when it comes down to losing the last 10-15lbs. It's also good to lose it slowly so you don't end up with excess skin and a body that hasn't…

That could be why I don't like it! lol! I will have to give it another go now that I read this....thanks! :)

Sounds Yummy! Maybe you can mix half-rice half-quinoa?

lol....yes slightly slimy and cold and no ability to grip, dats moi.

Yay! Strong lady!! <3 It is a big achievement :) I have no upper body strength at all....so you can just call me fish-paws.

Beautiful lady, before and after :) What a big difference! Keep up the good work!

I would be cautious to be honest. I am a biochemist/molecular biologist and a quick search through pubmed/medline shows me no published scientific evidence that would say that the ABO proteins expressed on the surface of your red blood cells can influence your dietary needs. You will of course find many many hundreds of…

Fantastic! Thank you so much for posting this :)

Yes definitely! Could be because I feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin and so that translates to a lot more physical contact and not hiding in the dark under the sheets! Not to mention flexibility and stamina, lol!
