From what I've heard, that's the first place most women lose weight. However, I've lost about 50 lbs, and my cup size has NOT reduced at all. I have a DD cup size and assumed that losing weight would reduce the size. It hasn't. I also know that you can't spot-reduce fat. You can tone certain parts of your body more than…

I drink a bare minimum 12-15 cups a day, somedays up to a gallon. I'm amazed that 8 cups is overwhelming to you!

The Arc Machine is the elliptical trainer I used!! I LOVED it, I'm hoping to build up my stamina to be able to do it longer, I worked up a good sweat on it! I jumped on a regular elliptical first, and I do NOT have the strength in my thighs to do it yet! The Arc Machine is definitely my new favorite -- way better than the…

I'm glad I'm not the only one!!!! I'm trying to cut out alcohol all together, because it's really hindering my weight loss. Saturday night, I drank 4 beers and an entire bottle of wine. Probably not the best choice -- because with my drinking, comes binge eating!

My current weight is 197. My goal weight is 130. The area I'd most like to see disappear is my lower abdominal area. I'd also like to lose inches on my arms.

I live on my exercise bike at home!! I also love kickboxing videos!!! I just joined a gym for the first time ever today because I'm soo bored with working out at home though. I think there are too many distractions at home!

The only thing I have in butter sauce is a prepackaged Green Giant vegetable thing. Those are the calories on the package, and those calories are actually for 2 servings. I don't think it's real butter, just butter flavored sauce.

It's called Gastritis. It's just inflammation of the stomach lining. When I was 16 I developed Hypothyroidism and gain about 90lbs in 6 months -- not from over eating or anything, it was totally out of my control until my medication was under control. I know that sounds stupid because people use thyroid problems as an…

It was already listed when I typed in Homemade Turkey Chili. I use mostly veggies, beans, and 99% Lean Ground Turkey -- so for a cup, it seemed to be accurate. It may be more, I'm not sure.

I don't eat this little intentionally. I eat as much food as I can, and it always come out to be around 600 calories. I have a stomach condition and I get sick if I eat too much food.

Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone!! At 26 years old, I really shouldn't have these self conscious fears anymore! At this time last year, I was embarrassed about even being out in public -- grocery stores, restaurants, anywhere. Now, I'm actually feeling pretty confident about myself and my appearance. I've…

I live in Connecticut... the only gyms in my town are 2 YMCA's and one local company -- I'm looking into the local one. The YMCA is a lot pricier because they offer indoor pools, ice skating, and a million other things that I won't utilize.

STARVATION MODE!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone likes to throw around "1200 calories" and nonsense about starvation mode, but the truth is that starvation mode take a LONG time to kick in -- depending on your weight/body fat percentage. Starvation mode kicks in when your body gets below and minimum healthy fat percentage. When you…

I can rarely reach 1200 calories a day! Unless I force myself to eat high calorie food, I usually average eating 500-800 calories a day, and burning 300-700. I try so hard to get enough calories, but my body just can't handle that much food!! I have hypothyroidism and gained about 85lbs in less than a year, not overeating…
