I wear a 36DDD, and it took a long time for me to figure out how to get support, without feeling suffocated. I wear a regular bra with 3 sports bras and a tank top with a built in shelf bra. The trick was finding bras that don't feel too tight when wearing more than 1.

Oatmeal!!! You can add so much to change up the flavors everyday! If you like soy products, you can also make any sort of scramble using tofu instead of eggs!

You can pack in a lot of nutrition with very little money if you buy things like frozen veggies and dried or canned beans. A vegetarian diet would be easier on your budget, but I know that's not for everyone!! I spend about $20 a week grocery shopping for myself. I eat oatmeal for breakfast every day, soup for lunch, and…

They sell them at most major grocery stores now -- and they're delicious!!! Just ignore the horrible smell and rinse/dry them before using! The smell will definitely throw you off at first, but it doesn't reflect the taste at all!

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think women should look muscular. I think being "soft" and curvy is much sexier than having such defined muscle mass. I don't think it looks natural. But I'm also not at all attracted to "bulky" men... anything more than slight muscle definition looks gross to me.

I love The Walking Dead, but it doesn't really follow the graphic novel very well. In the book, Sophia was not in the barn!! Since they found the zombies in the barn my fiance has been predicting (and telling EVERYONE we know who watches) "Sophia is in the barn, and Rick's gonna shoot her!"

I'm right where you are! Since Wednesday, I have eaten everything in sight and not exercised at all. I'm going back to proper diet and exercise on Monday. I'm giving myself one more day of irresponsibly, then I'm strictly sticking to my 1200 calories + 1 hour of cardio a day. However, I think you should know that the BMI…

Honestly, I think you should just consult with a doctor. The first few months I was losing weight, I was eating only 600 calories a day, and burning more than that. Now, I eat 1200 and burn 700+ a day, and I'm thinking of cutting my calories again.

Well, if your boyfriend and other room mates knew about the party, then I don't think it's disrespectful at all. I'm assuming your friend had permission from SOMEONE in the house. And regarding him having sex, yes... I think it's disrespectful to have sex in a friends house with some girl you picked up at the bar, but it…

Having such a high BMI, you'd lose weight for at least a few months. Most people don't know what they're talking about when they say "starvation mode"... I'd advise that you look into the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. Basically, from an evolutionary standpoint, the human body designed to sustain itself through long…

My mom was ALWAYS critical of my weight, even when I wasn't overweight. I remember being told I was fat, or going to get fat from the time I was 8 or 9. I was bullied in middle school and her solution to me was always "Why do you lose weight and dress like the other girls, then they'll like you." Every time a boy talked to…

I think the super low calorie diets only work if you're EXTREMELY overweight. You seem to be of average weight, so your body doesn't have the fat reserves to survive off of. I did the super low cal thing for a while, dropped 25lbs in 3 weeks, but then it came to a stand still. Eating more is definitely the way to go, as…

I know exactly where you're coming from!!! LUCKILY I work in a super health conscious daycare and we serve mostly healthy snacks. I've definitely destroyed my diet on birthdays and Halloween though, when parents provide the treats!

I've done it -- I lost 7lbs in 3 days. BUT I was making smoothies 3 times a day, using only fruits and veggies. By day 4, I had a horrible migraine, dizzy spells, muscle/joint pain... I think I was getting too much potassium, I put bananas in all my smoothies. I think if you have the will power, and you can balance your…

Mine is set at 2lbs, but I usually lose more than that.

That's awesome!!!! I'm right around where you are. I went from 243-190. 53lbs down, 54 to go!! Keep up the good work!!

You look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, little waistline -- I never thought I'd hear that!!! Thank you so much!

My fiance has been saying the same thing for months now!!!! He always says that I'm gonna "meet some hot guy at the gym" and leave him... it's so ridiculous. I always tell him that after 10 years of sticking with me through crazy weight fluctuations, and being made fun of for dating "the fat girl," he deserves to MARRY the…

I gained 85lbs in about 6 months due to my Hypothyroidism, and for YEARS I had doctors basically tell me that losing the weight would be next to impossible. I ate fast food, didn't exercise, and sulked around feeling helpless. THEN, I actually started trying, for the first time, to lose weight. I eat 1200 (or less)…

That's how I lost my first 25lbs.. in a little under 3 weeks. Then I plateaued for months, and gained 10lbs back when I started eating "normally" again. I still stay around 1000 calories a day now, but I'm losing more consistently.

Everyone always talks about how they're doing this for their health, but let's be honest here -- if it was healthy to weigh 500lbs, would you? Probably not, because it doesn't look attractive. Being in good health is obviously part of it, but everyone wants to hear that they look great too.

I weight myself everyday -- sometimes multiple times a day -- but I only log once a week.

I go to the gym around that same time -- for the same amount of time. I eat my breakfast at 5:30am though. I usually have high fiber oatmeal for breakfast, with an Active Metabolism multivitamin. Then I have a protein bar around 8am. Before I go to the gym, I eat an apple and a slice of reduced fat cheese. After my…

Pick me, pick me!!! haha

I took before and afters at 25lbs and right before 50lbs. These are my 50lb before and afters.

I hope it's accurate because that means I'll make my Christmas weight goal ... plus 2 more pounds!

Thanks everyone!!!! Well, I lost my first 25 lbs in about 3 weeks, but I did it very dangerously -- eating only 500 calories a day and exercising A LOT. Obviously, I hit and major plateau FAST, and then gained back 10lbs. For about 3 months I lost and gained the same 10lbs over and over doing stupid fad diets, starving…

I have had trouble meeting 1200, but I've been trying hard to stick to it. Saturday and Sunday I didn't know how to log some of the food that I ate at eclectic restaurants (I definitely exceeded 1200 calories!), and Monday & Tuesday I had a slight stomach bug and ate as much as possible! I ALWAYS make sure to have enough…

I get at least 1200 calories a day, I'm always over on protein and fiber, and I take daily multivitamins. I don't think I'm malnourished or anything. I have an appointment with a doctor next week.
