I knew I'd have some from the 10 million stretch marks I have on my stomach (from being pregnant), thighs, arms, chest, etc. I use Aveeno Skin Firming lotion. It's about 8 bucks at Wal-Mart, so I was a little hesitant, because I'm not one for spending that much for lotion. However, I love it. It says you can tell a…

I'm no expert. However, I'm going to say that it's the amount of Sugar (which is not tracked in your diary) sugar will contribute. I noticed the "Harvester" brand foods were very high in fats and some fried and things of that nature. Also, you have went over on your saturated fats quite often, which isn't good. I'll tell…

Yes I'm like that sometimes.

I got into a pair of my favorite sweat pants with my College's name and emblem on them. (: They were tight when I bought them back in January when I was 160 and I'm 171 and they fit better? It's odd. lol. I've only lost 6 lbs but I'm smaller than I was at 160 according to measurements I was taking then.

Thank you. (: I felt kinda silly posting a thread on losing just 6 lbs. But, I do strength train so I may have lost more fat than what the scale says. Some is muscle. I think if I wasn't weight training the scale would say a different number.

I've done this. I grow partial to one piece of equipment. Usually when I go the gym is full and I get used to one particular treadmill or elliptical and I use them every time. Idk. I guess because they are all different at the gym I go to and I know how to use that one. lol.

Do you lift weights? I do a lot of lifting and strength training. It helps, although the scale won't move as quickly. But, I keep a measuring tape. I've lost 22.75 inches all over my body (arms, bust, waist, hips, behind, thighs) Measurements are your friend (: Scale = Bad, disappointing, and demotivating. And THANK YOU…

That's awesome! I have a pair of jeans that are my favorite that are a size 10 Gap jeans. I've only really gotten to wear them a few times...I'm pretty excited to be able to wear them again and then for them to get too big and go buy more. (: lol.

By the way, my first goal is to fit into these pants! Which is why I'm wearing them in the photos

I see more friends and family trying to manage or lose weight where I live, so I'm hoping it means we are finally getting a handle on it!

Well, I can sleep with my arms over my head without my neck fat and boobs smothering me. So, that's a plus, because it used to be my favorite way to sleep. Sleeping on my stomach has gotten easier as well. Also, my boyfriend leaned in to give me a hug and kiss goodnight the other night and my hip bone was going into his…

Yes, it was only 2 weeks and 4 lbs. I've been working my behind off for it. So, it was a bit discouraging to see I'd only lost 4 lbs and I lost that the first week. However, I have in between photos It didn't all come off at once like bloat. Plus, I could be wrong but bloat will cause weight fluctuation and I know I've…

Well, I've only lost 4 lbs, but I've lost 19.75 inches. So, which do you think is more accurate? lol. Here's my post from today to show my progress in only 4 lbs difference. I weight train as well. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1070391-progress-photos-only-4-lb-difference

Thank you, everyone. I wish the scale would move a little faster, but the measuring tape keeps moving down so I'm happy with that. (:

I go to the gym 5 days a week and do cardio (running, elliptical, and bike) each time. I do HIIT Cardio about 2 to 3 times a week. I weight train legs one day arms the next then i have a day off and then repeat. On my days off i do planks, jumping jacks, squats, lunges, etc or just whatever i feel like that day. I eat 1200…

Thank you everyone (: I usually try to make sure I eat my exercise calories back or get close. I've just heard that if your body doesn't have enough it can slow your metabolism and/or lead your body to lose muscle mass to compensate. And I'm weight training and I don't want to lose the muscle. lol. Usually, I just eat when…

I'm always over on my protein, but it's always from lean proteins. But, I'm worried about it turning to fat, because I heard that it can. But, after my hard workout today I came home and had a lean ground turkey & black bean wrap (healthy wrap) and a lot of veggies. But, it said that had a lot of protein. I'm guessing from…

You look amazing! I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Bullying can be hard. I don't know much about PCOS, but I've heard a lot about it on here and how it makes it harder. But, you are overcoming it and making a new life for yourself. Congrats! (:

The common thing I noticed in people I know who have lost weight was, if they had boobs when they were smaller then they kept them when losing weight. If the boobs came with the weight, they lost them. I don't have large breasts, the got a nice size with weight, but I'm pretty much prepared that I'm going to lose them. You…

I think that's part of the reason why it was so easy for me to stop going to the gym when I started college and working full-time. I'd lost 25 lbs. and it was just life for me then and I didn't have as much support then as I do now (: You can do it, though (: And hopefully, I can too this time. lol

I find that the days I don't want to run or workout I actually end up pushing myself harder (I think just because I didn't want to workout. lol.) I find that if I don't want to, it could be because my workout is getting boring or something, so I spice it up by setting a goal of beating a previous time, intensity, etc. It's…

I eat 1200 a day + my exercise calories. I eat all of my exercise calories back unless I'm not hungry. I eat healthy things when I'm hungry and I don't eat a lot when I do. I eat every 2 or 3 hours. I burned of 500 calories the other day and was like "man, I'm not even hungry enough to eat them all back" lol. If you don't…

I want to try Insanity, but I don't have the money for it. Plus, I'm so afraid I won't be able to keep up...Great Job! You look amazing! You should be so proud!

By the way, I'm at 173 I started at 177, I'm 5'3 so anyone feel free to add me. I know some like to add people they have weights and heights in common with. I'm friendly and I interact. (: I don't always post my food because I keep track of it on paper so sometimes I just don't feel like transferring it. But, I do log my…

I measured as soon as I started before my first workout. I started working out last Friday. Tomorrow makes one week. I've lost 4 lbs and 11 inches from all around my body.

I guessed I was 20% bigger than I am, and about 4 sizes bigger than I am. I hope that doesn't mean I'll never see myself as a small person as I lose weight. lol.
