I lost 35lbs a few years ago and went from a 38 GG to a 32 DDD/F with minimal sagging and wrinkling. Here are my tips.... Gravity is a b*tch when it comes to boobs, it takes an arsenal to combat it. Support the girls at all times...never go "free". Always have something containing the girls, underwire, sports bra, tank…

No major psychological trauma in my life, I had a storied childhood that most people would dream of, but I did have some lazy/messy/needy tendencies that my parents really didn't discourage enough. I can look back and pinpoint 3 possible contributors... My mom passed when I was 27, and in the year leading up to that and…

Everyone is so quick to be offended. If you are looking for a way to be offended, you will always find it. When did playing the victim become the norm?

Most weddings have veggie and fruit platters, so you can make good choices. Make sure you eat well prior to going. If you go in there starving, you'll eat everything you see. If you eat sensibly in the days leading up, have a healthy but filling breakfast (think protein - eggs, lean meat, maybe a fruit) and then have a…

I don't mind sharing my journey with anyone who asks. It's been up and down, but I learn something new with each new set back. After being an athlete my entire youth, I maintained a fit and muscular 135, size 4/6 through about age 20. Dropped down to 115, size 0/1 around age 21, slowly crept up a bit each year until I hit…

Generally, when people talk about tone, what they are actually referring to is composition or definition. Example... A girl has a bicep circumference of 11", but it's soft and even, the muscles aren't defined. When she says she wants to just "tone" her muscles, not make them bigger, it means she wants her arm to stay 11"…

The items I am really in love with I will have tailored. I have 1 skirt that has a size 12 tag, but over the years it's been altered numerous times to it's final at around a 6. That's pretty true for most of my skirts and dresses. If I love it, I alter it. If it's too complicated to alter, or it is nice but Im not…

In general, how women present themselves (clothes, hair, makeup) is less about attracting men and more about asserting their "rank" among other females. Women are contantly in competition with each other over who is more capable of inducing jealousy from other women.

I limit my intake of foods containing aspartame due the side effects it causes me. Aspartame has a negative effect on my sleep, causing me severe insomnia, and also give me headaches. Now that I am TTC, I will further limit food additives, especially any that are controversial.

I'm 5'2", and lost 35 lbs the summer of 2005 using the South Beach diet, going from 171 to 136. I've kep it off for the most part, with my biggest gain being after I stopped running (foot surgery), I got up to 153. I maintain between 140 and 143 now, keeping me in a size 6 or 8 depending on brand. I'd like to lose those…

Been on MFP for a few years, just joined the boards. 5'2"-ish, currently hovering between 141 and 144, between a size 6 and 8. Highest was 173 in 2004, lowest was 135 in 2005, and again in 2010. Got up to almost 150 last year (happy in love weight, lol), lost 10 in preparation for my wedding, now I'm trying to maintain…
