I love your attitude! Thanks!

I do wear those tankinis and they are cute but it's a bit hard getting over when you are surrounded by people wearing their cute bikinis...

AMAZING! Good Job!

I am in the same boat...It can be frustrating when you only have a few pounds to lose. I see heavier people losing like crazy but I can't seem to lose more than 3 lbs ever. I usually gain that back every time. I need to shock my body because I have been doing the same thing for ever and it just isn't working anymore. I…

That's why I can't lose any freaking weight! I like to drink and it wrecks my diet even if I have enough calories for it! It's so NOT fair!

Friend me! :happy:

Congratulations!! You look fabulous!

1200 is BEFORE/WITHOUT exercise. If you exercise, you need to eat a little more to at least stay at 1200. Don't go below. BUT, if you are losing and not hungry and you feel good...don't change anything. You have to do what works for you!

Use your muscles! Not so much cardio! Muscles burn more fat. You need cardio and resistance; weight/strength training

Lol! This happened to me except it was with my...boobs lol! No exercises for those babies but you can do lunges and squats!

I simply can't have things in my house that I KNOW I CAN"T resist!

I am EXACTLY the same! I am a healthy weight and my percentages of fat and muscle and water are all in the normal healthy range but I just wanted to lose the 13 pounds I gained and it just won't come off despite every effort! I have decided to "take a break" from the crazy calorie counting and focus soley on eating right…

EXCELLENT POST!!! I agree with you totally and everytime I see someone *log* their exercise of the things you mentioned, I just roll my eyes and say, "they just don't get it." Thank you for sayin' what I've been thinkin'!

I am really excited for you and I don't know you!!! I know that feeling. I have had that happen to me as well. Good job!!! :flowerforyou:

I LOVE Eminem! He hits the nail on the head when he raps...

It's 3 times a week...I try to eat but i just can't eat that much food!

1280 before exercise...MFP sets everyone at the low end. If you exercise, you need to eat back those calories burned so your calorie deficit doesn't go lower than your daily goal. 1550 would be your higher target and if you exercised you wouldn't need to eat back those calories.

Make sure you hydrate before, during and after your workout. Also, eat something lite at least an hour before you workout..

Get a new scale! EatSmart™ Precision GoFit Digital Body Fat Scale!!! Truly the best $50 I have ever spent! It measures everything like, muscle, water, bones, and fat. I didn't like the *number* on my scale but when I got this new one and I could truly see how healthy I was from eating right and working out, it made me feel…

Hello! I used to weigh 228lbs. My boobs were huge, DDD, or E, and when I became pregnant they were F. I wanted a reduction too when I was heavy but I lost 90lbs and they are now a C! I'm really glad I didn't get the reduction and just let weight loss bring them down to normal. Although, a lift would be nice! You might want…

I feel that way too at times. I lost 90lbs and still feel *fat*. I have to remind myself that I'm not fat anymore...228lbs was fat! I'm a size 6/8. I used to wear a 22! That was fat. It's hard sometimes to really like your body but you have to look at where you were and where you are now. 25lbs is a huge loss and you…

:happy: Hello! Welcome to MFP and feel free to add me

Nope but I LOVE Chobani non fat Greek yogurts. Try those...they have fruit in them or you can get the vanilla. So good and thick. It amazes me they are fat free and only 140 calories!

You look fabulous! Both of you! Congratulations :happy:

This happens to me too! I used to weigh 228lbs. I lost 90lbs and put on 13 so I am trying to get that back off. People say to me all the time that I don't need to lose weight or they say I don't eat. My own mother and grandmother think I am not eating and tell me quite often I need to stop trying to lose weight. They think…

Any day except Monday for me. The weekend is always tough for me and I end up consuming foods high in sodium. So I like to take a day or two for my body to shed the water retention.

Get the EatSmart™ Precision GoFit Digital Body Fat Scale!!!! It measures EVERYTHING. It will show you what YOUR muscles percentage is, including your fat and your water. It even measures your bones! You will be able to see how fit you are and your fitness progress. Your *weight* is just a number. Don't let that dictate how…

Congrats!!!! I know how that feels! I went from a 22 to a 6/8 Good job!!!

It helps me if I set up timelines/goals. For instance, I have a wedding to attend in May and I need to buy a dress. I want to look damn good in that dress! Next, I am going to Vegas this summer so...got to look hot for that too! There is always something that keeps me going. Even if I fall off one day, I remember why I'm…

Just DO NOT stretch unless you are warmed up first. You can seriously injure yourself! Do some squats and jumping jacks for about 5-10 minutes...
