It's not fueling my body, lol, it's just fun & makes me feel good. :laugh:

Diabetes runs in my family, both my parents have it. My mom has issues with high blood sugar, she's overweight & my dad has issues with low blood sugar, he's of normal weight. Very scary for me cause I love sugar!!

Haha...I did that. After a couple months of drinking the Tennessee Honey I switched to Maker's Mark cause it was 90 proof and I didn't have to drink as much, lol. :drinker:

Great job, you look amazing!!

When I first started MFP I weighed myself 1-2 times a month. Now I weigh myself everyday in the morning.

Thanks for all the replies, lots of good advise. I am afraid if I start drinking hard liquor again I will go back to old habits. When I do drink heavy liquor its always at home. I like the taste, but it's the buzz that I love. Maybe I will just try once a week & if I feel like Im slipping back into old habits then I will…

Im 5'4" current weight is 111, im .2 away from 110 which is where I want to be, lol. My goal for this year is to maintain between 110-115 and focus more on strength training. Measurements are 34-28-34, pant size 0-2

^^ I Agree, I enjoyed it while it lasted, but man my stomach has been in knots for the past three days.

Lol, thanks. :laugh: Your right about the breast feeding, some can & others can't. It also depends on implant placement. Mine was placed under the muscle so the doctor said I wouldn't have any problems breast feeding if I wanted to.

My goals for 2014 are to maintain my weight & focus more on strength training.

Yes, you can still breast feed. I did for 6 weeks.

Thank you!! :blushing: :flowerforyou:

Healing time was not bad, but I think it depends alot on the doctors technique. Same thing goes for scaring. My doctor goes in under the breast and makes a tiny incision. So very small scar, after 6 months you don't see it anymore. As far as the price, I had mine done in Houston and it was a little over $5,000 but I also…

Great quotes, love all these!! My current on is "Nothing taste as good as skinny feels"

I'v always had small breast. Almost 10 years ago, I lost alot of weight and my small breast became even smaller. Think A cup to bee stings, lol. In 2004 I went in for breast Augmentation and went from a VERY small A to a full D. Best decision of my life!! I say go for it, but do it for you and nobody else. Mine will be 10…

Great job, you look amazing!!

I would like to know this as well. MFP says 45 minutes on elliptical is 349 calories burned. But the machine tells me anywhere from 560-585. Not sure which one I should believe. I guess it's better to under estimate calorie burn than over estimate.

I struggle with not eating enough calories cause Im worried I will gain the weight back. OR When I do eat enough calories I feel paranoid about gaining the weight back.

Im an inverted triangle as well, I hate it!! Big shoulders, big chest, very small hips & no butt. I don't know how wide my shoulders are, never meassured. But my chest is 34 (was 38), stomach is 28(was 34) and hips are 34. I also have a short torso & that makes having an inverted triangle body shape even worse!! :sad:…

You look awesome!! Congrats on your weight loss. :smile:

Thank you, lots of willpower!! :laugh: I quit eating fast food twice a day, gave up alcohol (I was depressed & drinking alot) and started exercising 5-6 times a week.

I order them direct from Quest Nutrition.com, they give discounts if you have a rolling order.

I eat 1-3 Quest Bars per day, I would say Im slightly obsessed. :love: I love them, they are SOOOOO GOOOOD!!! As long as it fits your calories then its fine, snack on.

Congrats on achieving your goal weight. Just wanted to say I know how you feel. Even though I have lost alot I still see a fat person in the mirror most of the time. I know I will always have a problem with this. What helps me is if I go by how my clothes fit & not what I see in the mirror. Good luck & hang in there!!

Started MFP in July of this year at 170 pounds. Im 5'4" & 30 years old. Picture below is before @ 178 pounds & after @ 117 pounds:

CHINESE FOOD & ICE CREAM YUMMMMMM!!!

I'm 5'4" SW -178, GW was 125 with my UGW being 120. I reached my UGW of 120 a couple weeks ago and moved to maintenance. Im sitting at 117 now, slowly uping my calories. I need to get some updated pictures on here.

1. How long have you been maintaining? About 2 weeks 2. Did you adjust your initial goal? Yes, my initial goal was 125, once I got there I changed it to 120. 3. Did you begin the transition to maintenance before you actually hit your goal? No 4. Did you gradually increase your calories or bump up to maintenance level all…

Thank you :smile:
