This happens to me, it's annoying, but better than the fat. It embarrasses me, but then I just assume no one else hears it.

Swimming 50 minutes....Freestyle with some backstroke and breast stroke thrown in

Same for me and I was hoping to lose cup size.

Youu have done an awesome job in that time

When I started I weighted myself every Monday at 5pm, that was my weigh in time with my trainer. I kept it going for a while, now it is Thursdays at or around 5pm. I don't own a scale at home, so I only use the one at the gym.

I agree, I have been fitted for the sports bra and the regular bra...not only is it better for you, but it looks better too.

Rest! You may just prolong feeling like death

Good sports bra does wonders, right now I am wearing one that has underwire by Wacoal that I really like. Good support and no uniboob, it does the trick for everything but running, then I wear one from Shock Absorber, not near as comfortable, but does the trick. I started at a 44H, I lost over 100 pounds and I now wear a…

Work was tough in the beginning for me with food days at work and ordering out for lunch. After saying no enough times, no ones asks me to order anymore. Someone recently was giving me trouble because I made some high calorie dessert for a food day....she loved it and made a comment about how the most health conscience…

I took a long time for my mind to catch up to my body. I lost over 100 pounds in a year (2009-2010). I had some ups and downs mentally along the way, but it was when I got close to goal weight that I didn't know what to do anymore. That was me for the year plus, I was the girl losing weight, people asked me about it and I…

There are days I don't count, but it is really just one meal that is bad. If I have a fun night out planned, I try and eat really healthy for breakfast and lunch, get a good workout in and then I don't worry so much. I don't log those days or at least those meals, usually it ends up being snacks and I don't track every…

I add everything in separately and saved it as a meal, It is almost always the same base with the spinach, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, cheese and dressing. Select the meal when you have it and add or subtract if I do something different. I am such a creature of habit that I eat the same thing a lot.

The fizz seem to be the draw for me also. I gave it up when I started losing weight in 2009, because I would not drink diet and the calories of regular were not my friend then. Now, I drink them, just not as often and I don't mind a few diet. Order of preference: 1) Coke 2) Coke Zero 3) Diet Dr Pepper When I want one but…

I agree with doing HIIT, I hate the treadmill and the elliptical if I am on there for more than 10 minutes. If I am on them, I usually do intervals. Steady state cardio is not my thing.

I didn't read all the other advice, but I was in your position once. I can honestly say that I don't know what triggered me to do it finally. I do know that I looked at it differently this time around. 1)I didn't give up any food, I just ate less of it. If I had a bad day, I didn't throw in the towel and go back to my old…

August 2009 ....July 2010 gained a little back, but maintaining for the most part

You mean you aren't swimming in an outdoor pool? Ha, people say that to me all the time, like I swim and walk outside to my car without drying off an putting clothes on or something.

If I don't eat my standard diet for a few days, I will feel sluggish, but one meal no. Usually when it lasts for a few days, I am also not exercising like I normally do, which could be part of the problem. Then again, one meal of Chinese food makes me retain water for 3 days.

I have pinned one of those banana/egg pancake recipes....I will delete. Thanks for the warning.

Awesome job, these are the things that keep you going!

Yes, I wear a hat on most Saturdays to cover the awful bedhead. My hair is too short for a ponytail. The bonus of the hat is that it also keeps the sweat from dripping into my eyes. As for clothes, I wear many different options. If I had the body for short shorts, I would wear them. I get so hot when I work out, the less…

I don't notice how cold it is when I leave the gym, I am hot and it doesn't feel so bad. I do have remote start on my car and I turn it on when I start the post workout stretch. That part is nice.

I use Pinterest a lot. I pin recipes to different boards, if I try it and like it, it goes to a Pinterest board called Recipes I've Tried and Liked. I do print out the ones that I make often, for ease.

Accuweather is telling me it is 9 with a wind chill of -15 in St. Louis. My car said 12 on the way into work. Even my dog thought it was cold.

One bite and I notice the change

I don't have trouble because of discomfort, more trouble just sitting still. Always want to be moving. Makes the desk job tough.

I am happy to help people with this and answer truthfully, but when it annoyed me was when I would say I exercise more and eat less and they would completely lose interest. They were generally hoping that I would give them some answer that was a magic pill. Mostly, I don't worry about any of it. I've been at this for over…

Gift card to go buy new running shoes! Actually two, very excited about this.

Perfect, I unfollowed those...

Oh, new job is a good one. But I tend to go back and forth on this one. I hate job hunting.
