I'm 5'4" and started at around 150. My current weight is 124ish and I dont really want to lose any more. I lift...a lot so the ultimate goal is to stay around 125 or a little more and pack on lean, tight muscle, which I'm doing quite nicely, LOL! I'm busty so during my "heavier" days I wore a size 10 and now I'm down to…

I'm 44 and in better shape now than when I was in my 20's. Feel free to add me :D

I have no idea how to post pictures but feel free to check out my profile. There are before and after pics in there. I'm 5'4" and 44 years old. I started out around 150 and my first goal was 129. Just wanted to see the 20's again. Ultimate goal was 125, which I hit. I still have stubborn baby fat around my belly so I'm…

Tried TRX on Tuesday for the first time with my trainer and loved every freaking minute of it. Definitely different than my usual routine and it made my muscles scream! I would totally invest in it if I had somewhere to use it. No room :(

I'll take 1-#3 and 1- #4 to go please. Yummy for breakfast!

I'm slightly skeptical of your stretch mark magic potion. I have had 3 very large babies and have had stretchmarks above my belly button since baby #1, who is now 18. I have always kept myself very well hydrated and I dont see how putting lemon juice on your skin will magically make them go away. If it did, they would sell…

See current profile pic (OSU shirt- GO BUCKS!!) My collar bones show and I am far from having an ED. I think I look quite healthy. Main goal is to have well defined muscle and low body fat. My defined collar bones are an added bonus, in my opinion. I like them!

I completely agree with this statement. I'm getting healthy for me...no one else. If a man finds me sexy or attractive...so be it. With that said...I DEFINITELY think collar bones are sexy. Its actually on my profile :p But I also find well defined muscles on women sexy. Thats what I'm working towards

Oh WOW!!! You look incredible. And I love your arms...and shoulders. Superb! I am like you in regards to hating the gym, now loving it. It was fun last night to workout and a couple resolutioners came up to me afterwards to compliment me on my hard work. I do it all for me but it was fun to hear what others think. Congrats…

Welcome to MFP! The first step is the hardest, but you are here and that is HUGE! Like runnerbean said, no need to limit an entire food group. Everything in moderation. I didnt limit myself to anything, just kept my calories and macros in check and it all fell into place. I've been in maintenance for 3 months now. One of…

I love lifting and LOVE how it has recomp'ed my body! Feel free to add me. I'm in maintenance and my day at the gym pretty much consists of lifting only now with an occasional run on the treadmill for good heart health. Good luck to you!

I lost 20 lbs to hit my goal weight. I was a 36ddd prior to the loss, and I'm a 34ddd now. I dont think they got "smaller" just not as full and the bras fit me a little nicer now. I look nicer in them. I kind of liked my fuller look (prior to losing) but now that I am smaller, I am really enjoying it. Clothes lay nicer on…

Welcome back! 1st step is always the hardest.. Feel free to add me for support as well. Logging and accountability made all the difference in the world in helping me reach my goal. Good luck to you :D

Um...OP deactivated her account? HUH?

I still count and I still exercise....and lift! I have increased my calories since reaching maintenance but I am not as anal about what I eat. If I go over, no harm done because I know what I need to do to get back to my goal. Also, you cant think of your maintenance weight as a number, it will now be a range. I fluctuate…

I continue to workout 4-6 days a week even while in maintenance. However, I increased my calories so I do not have as big of a calorie deficit as before. I still do 30 mins of cardio and a minimum of 30 mins of lifting each night. I've only been in maintenance for 2 months but so far so good. I haven't gained any weight…

My maintenance weight is a range, not a number. I fluctuate a few lbs each week. It doesnt affect how my clothes fit or the way I look and is only a number on the scale. If i'm up on Monday, I'm back down by Friday. Many factors contribute to it...water weight, what I ate, and other factors. Do what you did to get to…

Like the others, I say just get back into your maintenance routine and forget the past. For me, my maintenance weight is a range....not a number. I could go anywhere between 121-125 in any given week based on water, food, and other factors. Thursday morning I was 121. This morning I was 124. I know I didnt gain back 3lbs…

I have that problem too. I think its mental with me though. I ate at a deficit for so long it became habit and I have a hard time getting past it. I increased my calories once and do my best to hit it even if its by eating a calorie dense food like peanut butter. I still do gym workouts as I always have too. I've actually…

Congrats to everyone who has reached their goal!! How exciting to be there! I am in maintenance as well..but I'm not being very successful at it. I've lost 3 lbs in the past 2 weeks. Looks like I need to increase my calories again. Also looking for solid maintenance friends. Anyone feel free to add me. Congrats again…

Well done!!! Not only do you look amazing...you also look happy! Congrats and keep up the GREAT work!

I'm naughty at least once a week. It's okay...I plan it...and I certainly do not beat myself up afterwards. To each their own but it works for me and I enjoy it :p

Welcome to MFP CoralMoon! I wish you much success. You will find a lot of support on here. The first step is always the hardest and you are well on your way to becoming a healthier you. Congrats!

My ridiculous mind never shuts off! GGGRRRR

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me if you would like. I'm always looking for new friends to encourage and be encouraged. I'm currently in maintenance which can sometimes be harder than losing. Good luck to you!

Yes please

Tired of the judgements. I put everything in my diary. I get tired of being judged by the holier than thou MFP Gods who only eat the finest, freshest, most heavenly organic foods around. If I like it and it fits in my day...I'm gonna eat it. No ones business. I wouldnt have reached my goal by cheating

I think I need to do my own research on this...I'm gonna need some volunteers to be my test subjects. Any takers? I'd also like to find out what affect "said alcohol" has on the mind and actions before and after consumption. Should be interesting research...
