CW: 185 GW: 130-135 22 years-old, 5'6 My wedding is October 4th! Need to lose 50lbs in 8 months!

Mmm, mmm! :p

I can't see you :( so until then, lets dance!!

Date & dance

Dance & baaang

Lipstick!

Bang! You're gorgeous, total girl crush

She's beautiful & I applaud any woman with the confidence to put herself up in a competition where she's looked at & picked apart like cattle in a livestock auction. & c'mon, she's at LEAST a 7! If this girl's a 5.2 than geezy crow I'm a -50

@ytrid yaaay, hugs! :D @rule five bang. but only if the socks stay on

What's the guide to knowing if I'm hot enough to be a b****??? Unfortunately I only know what qualifies a man as being a complete a**.....

Spank while dancing on our date

Let's go dancin'!

What are the options again? All of them. Twice rusty454

I have lost a decent amount already, but I'm still far from my GW & would love to cheer one another on! I'm 22, had always been underweight-normal until now. I suffered from anorexia from 14-18 years-old, went into treatment & got up to 123lbs when bam! Pregnant. I was still a bit underweight when I conceived, I'm 5'6 so…

Feel free to add me! I am only 22 but I have an 18 month-old daughter & a 6 month-old son. I was bed rested for the last trimester of my pregnancy with my 6 month-old, & that helped me gain a LOT of weight :( Of course having 2 babies back-to-back didn't help! After having my son my goal was to lose 100lbs. This goal was…

Don't feel belittled or berated! I hope I didn't make you feel that way. The almond & pb sandwich comment, to me, seemed like a humorous way to tell you to eat nutritiously is all. It's actually a good idea! That would be an extra 200+ calories in protein & good fat! But, I'm gonna say it again, iron iron iron! Since you…

Oh yes, that makes me believe even more strongly that it's iron-deficiency

Haha, perhaps. I was just speaking from my personal experience. When I was suffering from this pre-diagnosis, I was eating plenty of calories (probably more than I needed for that matter) & I still experienced this allllll of the time. For every 10 times I stood up, 9 times I would fall back down. According to my…

Also, what are your eating habits like? Because since, to me, this sounds like it could be low BP-related, you ought start eating something or drinking something with REAL sugar every 3-4 hours. So yeah, see doc, try minor iron supplementation, eat more frequently, & try adding 200-300 calories to your daily intake. In…

I don't think nutrition is related in the sense that you're not eating enough calories. I struggled with this for years. Once it happened & I fell & hit my head & suffered a minor concussion. I went to the doctor & it turned out I'm anemic with low blood pressure & hypoglycemic. Don't be like me & wait to get checked out…

ndj1979 is correct in saying that you can't spot reduce. Just do cardio & inches will go away. Strength training is also necessary for good midsection definition. Since you want a smaller waist I would recommend abdominal strength-training moves that focus on your obliques. Good luck!

Oh, Boy Scouts. No gays No fatties! What next?

A rule I follow is overestimate calories consumed, underestimate calories burned. If I measure something out & it comes to be say 176 calories, I log it as 200 calories. Most people say to log everything 100% accurately to a T, but I've had much success with this system. As for calories burned, I see what MFP claims & also…

This definitely exists but geographical locale makes a big big difference. I used to live on the west side of Columbus, OH in an area known as the Bottoms. No need to explain what that area is like! The only time you saw someone on a bike was when a bunch of grocery bags were hanging on the handle bars, & if you saw…

I was losing at a decent rate when I first started MFP, & when I began supplementing protein & making no other changes, I started losing significantly faster. So I believe it. Of course everyone is different & it probably helped me lose because it keeps you full longer, but either way why not give it a shot. I mostly have…

1600 is fine if you're more on the sedentary side If you're not particularly active your recommended intake's gonna be on the lower side. This is also true if you selected that you wanted to lose 2 lbs/week. I'm 182lbs right now & on the lightly active-moderately active side & trying to lose 1.5-2 lbs per week, & MFP has…

Oh! You got half!! I'm a naturalized American citizen, but I'm Russian Israeli. Slavic Jew. I suppose Russian Israeli is a difficult one. Most people get Russian, but for the most part only Israelis & other Aryan middle-eastern people recognize that I'm Israeli

Quiann: african-american/Filipino ?

Sarwatf: I was so gonna say Indian until I refreshed the page!! Lol & I'm not Swedish or Germanic I should inform you that blonde isn't my natural hair color, it's a dark-chestnut brown

I'm not Icelandic. Pervette: Greek or Italian? Sicilian?
