Yeah I've been the same way for the most part, shirts fit a little looser but still fit. But jeans pretty much quit fitting when I lose 10 pounds.

No problem! The local ones we have here are Uptown Cheapskate and Plato's Closet, I know they are franchises so you might have one in your area.

Ohhh ok! Thank you!! :) I don't give myself enough credit for all the progress I made. I'm just always like "need to do better" but when I stop and think about it, it took a lot of willpower for me to do all the things I've done to get where I'm at. To see some single digit clothing numbers is awesome!

Haha yeah some of mine I held on to too long but then I was like "I am never letting myself get back into that size" so I sold them and bought some new clothes that fit. :)

Believe it or not "name-brand" stores have bought my Target and Wal-mart clothes.... I was shocked.

Oh interesting, I never thought of upcycling. :) Might be a silly question but I'm new here...what's NSV?

Whoa is that a franchise that told you that? I sell my name brand clothes at a few different stores as I've been losing the weight and I have sold clothes from size 9-13 and never have they told me the clothes I sold were too big, in fact they bought a lot at those sizes! Those aren't even plus sizes! Plus the average…

Thank you! I think I'm just getting impatient after losing 15 pounds, my weight loss has slowed so I was wondering if my calorie intake was to blame. :P That's good that I wasn't eating too little!

You should check out Jay Robb Whey Protein. :)

Hi there! I'm 5'6 SW- 175 pounds CW- 160 pounds GW- 130 pounds http://i1145.photobucket.com/albums/o516/ShadowHaruka/picisto-20130516121348-154785.jpg

This reminds me of older men (who are not related to me or my father) telling me I need to eat less "Slow down girl, don't eat so much" "Those brownies will pack on the pounds!" when I am having my occasional cheat meal. It makes me angry especially because I see these people like once a month and they don't know how I eat…

So I am 5'6- 160 pounds 36-30-43 (Yes I am VERY pear shaped....lol)

I've heard of that twinkie diet before, funny that professor is from my state. (They always seem to be doing stuff like that here.) :laugh: But you sir make a very good point there. You can lose weight eating complete crap as long as you cut calories. However I am doing this for my health too, not just to lose weight, so…

The idea does make sense to me. I don't plan to go paleo but the idea of not eating an ingredient you don't recognize/can't pronounce seems logical. Not saying that's all there is to the paleo diet.

A girl on tumblr I follow set up a 30 day youtube workout plan. I will post a link for you. http://www.realityofyou.com/the-30-day-youtube-workout-calendar/

I've heard of that before! (ezekiel bread in particular) What makes it healthier?

A friend of mine asked me if I was pregnant....yeah that was a wake up call. Also based off of some other posts in this thread, I am grateful that my boyfriend has been nothing but kind throughout my journey. He will tell me things, like if I'm squeezing into a too tight pair of pants and it's obvious but he does it gently…

So are grains in their processed form healthy to eat? As long as it is 100% whole grain?

I'm having a hard time getting that website to load on my computer :/

No, I'm saying I've had no appetite since then, because I got used to eating so little, going on a liquid diet (because I got my teeth out) effected how much I ate then and since then. So 5 days of eating ~ 1000 calories and after that (1 1/2 weeks) I would say 1300-1500 (BMR is 1600) So I honestly have not probably been…

Hmm I never thought of it that way but you make a good point! Two weeks ago I got my wisdom teeth out, and of course I had to eat a liquid diet for about 5 days. Since then, I've had less of an appetite and there are days when I have try really hard just to eat my BMR. I know there were a few days I didn't probably eat…
