I started out wearing 20s and 22s and even had a pair of 24 jeans when I was 240+. NOW I weigh about 198 and am wearing a size 18 skinny. I feel so good and only need to lose a few more pounds to reach my goal weight. Good luck girls n God Bless!!:flowerforyou:

My legs tingle for 3- 5 minutes after a 60+ min jog. I do need new shoes so I tried jogging without shoes on triple carpet and I still feel the tingles in my thighs. I think it is probably due to blood circulating. Any other ideas?

I loved this article! Thank u for this. I have been implementing lotion therapy for a few weeks now and I feel more "connected" to my actual size while I am doing it. I still look at myself in the mirror and see the same shape and may actually be more critical of my body now than I was at 242 lbs but I simply assure myself…

It will reduce...promise!!!

Can't wait to see ure before and after, I was wondering the same thing. Im not ready for that yet, lol. But maybe in a few months!

use cans of food or bottles of water for weights and do tricep and bicep movements. U'll hafta do 6 reps of 10 to feel the burn. Also, u can jog in ure apt while watching tv or youtube and that's free! I've lost 30 lbs by doing this and I feel great! Good luck to u, Darl'n.

U may have lost a little bit of muscle wld be my best guess. U may gain a lb when u get back to ure routine but it'll come off quickly.

I live in Fairmont, WV.

Trish, I live near Fairmont and just wanted to welcome u and say hi. We can work out at the same times if u wanna. I jog an hour daily or belly dance. Hope u stick w/ MFP! I'm on here daily! :)

Could u offer ure oreo balls recipe???

Carrot muffins (Betty Crocker) with eggs and i'm substituting veggie oil for applesauce. Ham and garlic northern beans.

Eat lean protein

Maybe try something else that's crunchy like rice cakes or pretzels or wheat thins or celery...U can make ure own chips too in a healthy way by slicing a very small potato thinly and baking them with salt and olive oil and whatever spices u want. They would satisfy that need for the crunch and wld be baked

I am a Christian 36 yr old lady and I wld love to offer u support! I'm on MFP EVERY DAY so I will totally hold u accountable as long as u (yes there is a condition, lol) do the same for me, lol. My name is Sarah and I actually started my weight loss journey with a spiritual fast for 2 weeks. Then I realized what foods my…

Maybe u need to try eating right for 12 days and "pigging out" on the thirteenth day, then repeat. I have done this and lost 25 lbs in 4 months. How can this help u may ask. It helps to reboost ure metabolism.Also, I wld try breaking up ure workouts. I walk for 15 min in the morning then do belly dancing/boxing or aerobics…

Cardio Cardio Cardio! I had a 3' FUPA and now it's abt 2" in depth from Cardio in a month!!!

Reduce ure calories by eating mostly veggies but eat ure recommended protein. Work out a bit more, if u keep pushing ureself u'll see more weight loss. I've lost 25 lbs in 4 months. Good luck!

Don't drink too much water. 8 glasses is enough and anymore can make u feel woozy and lightheaded. Remember one bottle of water = TWO servngs of water

U might be an endomorph body type that puts on weight fast and has to work doubly hard to burn it off. The other types are Mesomorphs and ectomorphs... check it out, it helps!

Hello. Im a newbie, too! And an endomorph! Big hips and teeny waist for my size, a US size 18. Are u actively losing weight? I read that after 20 min of drinking 17oz of water ure metabolism increases by 30%!!!!! SO this is the most optimal time to exercise! I've lost 22 lbs and am sooo proud of myself. How is ure routine…

Hello. I am an endomorphic body type and a person as well, haha. I just wanted to say that what I have researched abt endomorphs proclaims that we are to beef up on the protein. I began eating protein once a day (usually a hard boiled egg white) and lost 22 lbs in 4.5 months. I'm INTJ, btw. What are u? How is ure weight…

Me too! I just signed up today and this is exactly what I have been looking for --- for weeks!!! I will keep u motivated and u can do the same for me!!! I'm so excited!!!
