I can see the difference in your legs and arms... and how your muscle has changed on your back and you lost belly! AWSOME... I have recently started lifting... Day 8 today! Hopefully next spring I will have pics!

I have wanted a boob job ever since I had children.... If I get fit again... Where I am happy with myself... I plan to go get me some big ol boobs to go with my big ol butt and flat tummy! LOL

Oh GOodness you got lots of great advice.... I agree measure your foods and drinks and track everything... Get some scales... that not really too expensive.. WalMart has a cheap set that will work. DO NOT GUESS Get a HRM to be sure your counting your calories correctly and not been overeating for the past four weeks…

If there was no such thing as pasta, crackers, bread, rice etc.... I would never have to count calories in the first place.... I am loosing weight steadily and slowly.... I am eating carbs.... But I did pretty much cut my pasta down to once a week unless it was a little bit in some soup! I know everyone has a different…

I have to ask if you really ask this question because you were not sure if that was a good deficit or if you wanted lots of replies and possibly some ranting? Please read other post on 1200 calorie diets.... talk to your doctor.... so some research... and try and loose it in a healthy way... as another person responded...…

I don't do Marathons... haven't made it that far... but would be interested in keeping up with your journey!

well I like to make my favorite foods, sushi or Mexican, then have some dessert, preferably just Ice cream.. I don't really like cake! Then maybe some wine with my husband.... Often he takes me out for wine and Sushi for my Birthday! But if your asking should you skip because your dieting... my answer is no way!

I am a pear shaped woman.... I would say very pear. Even at my thinnest! They can be worn and look stylish, but it requires a longer shirt with a tail or one you would wear a big belt with around your mid section! I also think it looks good if you wear a longer sweater or longer type of cardigan over another shirt! But I…

This was good!

I had seen in other post that they had wondered if this "JERK" likes you... That too was my exact thoughts... that maybe he was immature and trying the jerk theory to get you to look in his direction! Maybe his hopes is you would waste effort or energy to go over and get smart... he will get your much needed attention that…

I Vote #2 or #5.. they go good with the shoes you had on also!

keeping the banana frozen... good idea! I like this one the best... but there is a combination of fruits and flavors we eat! I cup frozen blueberries 1/2 banana 1 cup almond milk 1 tablespoon peanut butter add ice or water to get the consistency you want! I like my as a frozen drink. You can also add in some protein or…

This is a good comment and appropriate! You don't want to say no if it is obvious you have... Just acknowledge them and move on.... I too hate comments.... I have a booty... always have, My cousin came up to me and loudly announced... you lost weight... and your butt is finally getting smaller.... I thought it was rude...…

I was just sitting here thinking how I didn't get my calories in today... how delightful a blueberry peanut butter almond milk shake would be!! YUM!!! Add a little Splenda... and its under 200 calories and delicious!

I personally don't like to eat much if I am going to work out.. I found out that it makes me slower and sometimes tired! I thought it would be the other way around... but it is not!

I have worked out for years.... About 8 to be precise.... Honestly I thought I was doing it right.. except for the diet part... but This response nailed me dead on.... Just in the last year did I learn to push myself beyond what I thought I could do, not to let my mind take over my bodies abilities and that If my shirt is…

I too would agree that constantly being over positive is not healthy.... I want to be praised for the things I did good, excelled and surprised myself... I want to be praised for a day to day norm. That's why we should count on a support group.... that may know us a little better for our compliments and the other times…

This made me chuckle... LOTS!!! LOL

I believe when people have a emotional eating disorder.. of any kind.... I do not believe others really understand... sometimes its hard to understand... Cancer eats us, Aids eats, Tumors change more than just some pounds..... But emotional issues are hidden often and cant be seen or are not discussed with the public (if…

yes...But I think you already knew that! LOL.. I try and only weigh on my weigh in days... its a better reward to see it as a whole on weigh in day! I would not worry a whole lot about it just yet.... I know sometimes when I work out hard or change my activity/routine.. the scales will show less of a weight loss! I would…

I only read the original post! I Hate when I talk to a guy and he assumes all of sudden that means I am opening a door for the love doctor to get to work.... I am married... and I can be friendly to the opposite sex with out wanting to date them... I have had guy friends my entire life without dating them.... Be cautious…

OMG... would this be the normal way your body would handle breast tissue if you became overweight? How much overweight?

Me too.... I am not old.. not yet anyways... (that's a statement!) ... But I agree... I still have times where I think I know so much.. that I am missing the real question... or maybe I just don't even truly have an understanding quite yet.... Sometimes I pray that I will never understand some things.... I am blessed to be…

I always suggest to each individual that they measure their food.. and get A Heart Rate monitor. The only way to loose weight it to eat less calories than you burn.... guessing on food is never a good idea... guessing on exercise level is never a great idea..... I would get both of these two measured out correctly.... on…

Love this thread! Enjoyed the read!

WOW.. I got on here just to see what the result were.... But my husband has always told me... I always worked out and pretty much ate what I wanted.. NOT A GOOD IDEA.... You cant work off a bad diet... and you can NOT! He said if you would concentrate on your diet more and exercise less that I would see progress... and by…

these lunches are packed with high calorie foods... it is not good for some families.. but for the low income families children who are going home with out food at night.... this is what this is set up for a lot of times... But I agree... They should offer the option of one more alternate healthy dish and maybe have…

I would measure myself... LOL.. sometimes in our weight loss journey we tend to lose weight in some places... yet making other places look larger than before.... I have had other girls say this before... I had a boyfriend reply.. shes not gotten bigger.. shes gotten thinner and noticing herself! OUCH... but maybe it is the…

I don't have an answer to this... but I was reading the some about it... and what I could find was that fasting for a day or two... may have some benefits... but you don't want to do it too often or for very long! I was reading in one place that it is a good natural way for your body to detox! Some other good sources said…

I need you to friend me.. cause me and you see some things very much alike... I had someone else say this same thing to me.... She needed like 1800 calories one day and ate something 700.. I told her I hope she watches her diet better.. another time I told her if she continued she would not like long term results,…
