I bought a pair of jeans 2 years ago when I was visiting family. I was planning to wear them out for the night and they wouldn't even go up past my knees! (They were marked as my then size, so I have no idea wth) After drowning my sorrows in some What A Burger, I ended wearing something with a stretchy band (you know, the…

Check your diet too. I was getting super painful cramps in my calves a few months ago and was told by a doctor to up my carbs a bit and also supplement with some sea salt in my water every couple of days. Worked like a charm.

Feel free to add me. I started out at 338 and am currently at 272 after bouncing around within that range for years. Once I finally decided to just do the dang thing with Keto I lost 60 pounds in 6 months. Not working out crazy either, just walking and general running around after kids (I was a preschool teacher at the…

Hey OP, I totally understand you. I'm the same way. I'll be great and doing great with my diet until something stressful happens, or I just feel overwhelmed. My father died suddenly two years ago and my anxiety and stress levels have gone through the roof since then. I was never very anxious or stressed before but now it's…

I feel the same! I've lost 55 pounds I Still feel like I look exactly the same when I look at pictures!

Congratulations! I just recently started eating healthier and increasing my cardio but I'm not going to weigh myself until the end of each month...You're an inspiration!

Hey everyone! I am definitely down for the support. I would like to lose 120 pounds to go back to where I thought I looked best (that was still 30 pounds overweight, but it was curvy, not just fat). I'm such a random snacker and I also HATE cardio. I could lift heavy all day every day, but cardio just makes me want to cry!…

LOL at the junior mints. That's hilarious. Nobody's gonna judge you. I've never eaten anything out of the trash...though I do have an embarrassing habit of touching gross things. I can't help it, it just happens to me. I'm always the one who leans up against a tree trunk that has bird poo on it, or rests my hands on a bus…

Ooooh, I've always wanted to do some work with kettlebells. I suppose I could, I'm just scared that I won't be able to do it. Good for you for having that goal in mind! Ohh, here's an idea, just for something fun. Almost every Saturday I get together with my sister, her kids, and the family, and we play our Latin Jams CD.…

:) I would be wary of the bellydancing just yet. It can be killer on your knees! All that bending and shimmying! What about swimming? Is that an option where you are? Or kickboxing. That doesn't seem to bother my knees, but your knee problems sound a mite more troublesome than mine. Also, with regard to your family eating…

I feel you on the knee pain. Mine kill me sometimes, after a zumba class or a particularly random bout of bellydancing, lol. Something that seems to work for me...I am SOOO not a doctor...but I try to limit my sodium intake and drink quite a bit of water, at least 100 oz. a day. I find that on days that I keep my water up…

EVERYBODY has their own issues. I've learned that much just talking to people.. I know this is so mean (please forgive me, I was 17 when this happened. I've matured since then), but once, at the mall..I was feeling so peeved at these blonde chicks who were looking at me like I was friggin Keiko the whale, that when one of…

Wow...what an menu! I'm positive I could live off of the arancini and the salt and pepper calamari. Delicious. However, I would suggest the Caesar salad, add chicken, with everything on the side. With bacon, egg, parmesan, and the dressing, that could add up to quite a bit of sodium. You're relatively safe with a nice…

Thumbs Up for Jensen Ackles...Gosh he's yummy...it's the voice, I think. All gravelly and low...I think I'm gonna go watch Supernatural reruns now...while I do pilates, of course.
-
Hi Annie, Even though you can't spot train to make areas lose weight quicker than others (Our bodies do whatever they want, darn it) I would suggest Pilates. It helps to strengthen your core and tighten up that natural girdle we've all got around our waists, plus helps you with your posture so you stand taller and look…

This is awesome: Fitness: My Danskin Cropped Workout Pants( Which I was wearing at a 3x, and now am wearing a very loose 2x! :) )They are so comfy and it akes me feel good to look down and see how much weight I've lost in my thighs! Golds Gym Resistance Bands: I love these! I bring them to work as I work evenings and…

Seriously, bless all of y'all, I've been super worried and stressed about it, but you make me feel better. I'm going to add a tbsp of peanut butter to the afternoon snack..I love peanut butter but always thought it was a no-no...I have the low-sodium natural peanut butter and I LOVE it, and I'm sure the extra protein will…

@thunt1990 :: Torrid is a good idea, but I gotta ask you, how did you get your calves smaller? Ugh, mine ar ethe size of a Greco-Roman City-State, and it bugs me because my thighs are shrinking in size but I've still got these huge battering ram calves, and they don't feel like fat, they feel like the only thing on my body…
-
Heck yeah, I love watching a show while I exercise..I find that music doesn't draw me in to the ellptila or treadmil like a show does, mainly because I wanna start dancing! lol. I tend to dance mostly, but I like watching Heavy, Biggest Loser, Shedding for the Wedding, anything motivational with other folks who are…

Yay! Yesterday's was under 2000 and I overestimated almost everything I ate...yay!

rmartin72 : On your food diary you can go in to the settings and have it track up to 5 things for you. I track Fat, Protein, Carbs, Salt, and Sugar, as well as calories.

I'm all in! I dont' have high blood pressure but I simply dont' like how I feel after too much sodium. I've been watching my salt intake quite a bit over the past few months but I'm sure I fluctuate.
-
I find that I have to keep doing something new almost on a daily basis, or I get super irritated and bored. Here is last weeks sessions as an example. Monday: Zumba Flat Abs Tuesday: Lower Body Strength (Squats, Plie Squats, Ballet Glute Isolations, Ski Jumps. 8 reps each, 3 sets in a circuit) Upper Body Strength (Bicep…

You can definitely do it! And it doesn't have to be this crazy sweating all the time and sick to your stomach thing. Walking for an hour on an incline on the treadmill is good, and you can use that hour to watch an episode of..I dunno...Keeping up with the Kardashians. I, personally, watch HEAVY on A&E, makes me feel good…

That happened to me, and I know it was so weird. I was doing so well, mainly just vegetables and fish and I was losing like .5 pounds a day on average. Then, on Labor day, I had McDonalds. A Supersize Nugget Meal AND a McDOuble hamburger, and a large coke!! I felt bad that I broke protocol, but I was determined to face the…

Welcome! Add me as a friend if you'd like to! I know how you feel, I was at a SW of 322 and got down to 300 when I joined. Stopped using the site for awhile because I fell off the wagon, but now I'm back on and looking for friends and motivation. So welcome, good luck, and congratulations on your work so far hun!!

Welcome! I'm not in college, but I graduated a few years ago. This site is awesome, it really helps me to track everything I've eaten, and it's helping me to lose weight at a steady pace. You'll love it!
-
You are so right! Honestly I'm a big girl with lots more to lose ( I'm already down 12 somehow! yay random bits of walking everyday) But I've been a 46 DDD for years! Even in college when I wasn't nearly as heavy as I am now, I lost about 45 pounds and when I started freshmen year I was a 38 C, somehow in the same time I…
