I've got 9 more lbs to lose. After that I might want to lose 5 more but it all depends on how I look and how realistic an extra 5 lbs would be to maintain. This morning I weighed in at 119.4 lbs (still, lol). Thanks for starting this lil' club! ~ Joanna

Wow, what a transformation! You look younger, happier, gorgeous! <3 ~ Joanna

I'm 4 ft 11 in. Here you go: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/266959-the-difference-in-3-months-before-after-pics

I used a HRM and just input my own exercise of "Couch to 5K" and how many calories my heart rate monitor says I burned. Otherwise it can be extremely hard to gage. I find my treadmill doesn't give me a correct read out (too low) while the elliptical machine gives me one that is too high compared to what I actually burn.…

HOLY SH@$! Amazing! SO,SO inspiring! Thank you!

Wow, you look amazing!

I was a vegetarian for five years previously. I can see both sides You and a few others missed the entire point of the post. Its a joke. It's a hint that perhaps neither side should take it so seriously, and make it into an argument. I'll never again create a thread that is a blatant joke thinking people will actually get…

As a little 4 ft 11in lady I burn 500/day. It makes me sad when a grown man can do just as much as me (aka my boyfriend) and double the calorie burn). Your small lady friends might be burning more than you give them credit for. :wink:

So you're going to have plastic surgery done? I'm confused?

I personally cannot afford it. All the conflicting information does get to be quite mind boggling. I'm constantly reading articles that conflict and I don't know who to believe. Please feel free to share anything you learn from her that might help we poor college students, single moms, and the working poor. ~ Joanna

I most certainly log things like that. I think it's smart to. Otherwise a "bite of this here or that there" can add up.

Envisioning your scale w/ a sticky note screaming "NO" at you makes me giggle. My mother-in-law to be has had the same problem. I've encouraged her to do body measurements instead.

Wow. You are AMAZING!

Wow, that is one amazing transformation. Keep it up hot lady!

In the past I've eaten and then worked them off on a consistent basis. It's worked rather well for me. Since I'm off school for the time being I'll be working out sooner and eating back my deficit calories. It's the same difference in the end. To lose MFP starts you off with a deficit of generally 500 calories as it is so…

Useless? Who's been spreading that sort of craziness around? :P

That's just beautiful! :smile:

I'm confused. Insanity kit? :ohwell:

That's just too funny! :)

I always tell my boyfriend that every girl deserves "a Paulie" (his name) but that none would end up w/one as good as mine. <3 ~ Joanna

Oh my goodness, you look SO good! Love it. Thanks for the inspiration! <3 ~ Joanna

Have you talked to your boyfriend about no longer ordering out? Is he supportive of your losing weight? Why not try popping a healthier low-calorie frozen pizza into the oven? Keep cookies out of the house. Try carrots instead when you find yourself snacking out of boredom. It's little changes like that which I've found…

I'm a full-time college student. :)

Just stick with it. Tomorrow I'll be finishing week 8. Then on Sunday I'll begin week 9. I'm so, so proud of myself! If you feel like quitting just remember why you started in the first place. For me, I used to love to run when I was a kid. But when I started smoking at age 12 after being diagnosed w/asthma the year…

You should seriously try the Couch to 5K workout plan. It'll take you from what you spent today doing to eventually running 30 minutes straight (or 5K depending on your speed). Check it out at C25K.com. I'm now at week 8 and running 28 minutes straight. As an asthmatic ex-smoker I'm pretty freaking impressed w/myself! LoL!…

I'm 4 ft 11 in, small framed. My goal for the time being is 111ish. But once I reach that I might lower it for a smaller BMI. Anything under 92 lbs though is underweight. I was always 100 lbs in high school so getting down to that weight would feel good. :)

I'm all about the splenda.

Very cool! That's terrible that your last scale was that crazy inaccurate. Try not to stress too much at the little differences you'll see from one day to the next. Yesterday I read the following article and it was a good reminder. Check it out if you get a chance:…
