  • I wish I had more advice for you, but you might enjoy trying this hamstring stretch. I've had to take a break for the last week due to an injury, but when I was doing this regularly it seemed to help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__WS3i9iBUk
  • No one noticed until I had lost 35 pounds. My mother in law (that I see about once a week or every other week) didn't even notice when I had lost 55 pounds until someone pointed it out to her. But the look on her face when she did a double take was well worth the wait. :) I try to be understanding because I am admittedly…
  • Great job! You need to put [ img] and [ /img] around the link (without the spaces). It must be lowercase to work.
  • What I wish my day was like: What my day has actually been like:
  • Just sticking to my calories consistently is all I've done. I tend to lose a bit quicker when I can exercise, but still manage to lose without it too.
  • I have PCOS and have lost 60 pounds since January.
  • Ultimately you have to do what's right for you, but I know for sure that I would have given up if I hadn't taken that first step on the scale to find out my starting weight. It took me 37 pounds and almost 4 months of hard work before I was able to wear a new size of clothes. Without seeing the scale go down every week, I…
  • I am a mom to 15 month old twin boys. I actually lost 20 pounds during the pregnancy, but regained it a few months postpartum. I have lost 54 pounds since January. It is possible!
  • -Have you had your gallbladder removed? Yes, I had mine removed in March at 28 years old. Mine was an emergency surgery after I suddenly became ill and was in intense pain (as bad as labor). My gallbladder was dead and the inside was completely gangrene. It was very close to rupturing. -If so, how did this effect your…
  • Caramel Cookie Crunch is my absolute favorite. Talenti ruined all other ice cream for me. The quality is so much better, that most of the other brands or flavors just aren't worth it to me any more.
  • I turn on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for my 15 month old twins. It works (almost) every time!
  • I try to be understanding when people do not notice my loss because I am admittedly terrible at noticing it on others. My parents lost about 50 pounds each a few years ago. I even knew they were losing, but honestly could not tell until I saw an old picture (of course I only said supportive things to them and never told…
  • I started around the same weight and no one noticed until I hit 35 pounds. Even at 47 pounds lost, I still cannot see it in myself. The most motivating thing for me is having a pair of pants that are too small in my closet. I try them on periodically to watch them get closer to fitting. Once they fit, I get an even smaller…
  • I would like to join as well. :)
  • I did something similar a few weeks ago. I had just enough calories left for a treat, so I decided to get a coffee with cream and sugar from Dunkin Donuts. I had one just a week or two before that, so I remembered the calorie count and didn't log it until I got home. When I got home I realized that I had remebered the…
  • It is hard to tell much by size chart measurements. According to size charts, my hips are 4.5 inches too big for the jeans that currently fit me perfectly. Love your outfit in your profile picture!
  • My husband and I did the Princess 5K a few years ago. I would like to participate in more races in the future (especially the ToT and Everest ones), but I do not have any solid plans for that yet.
  • I would like to join.
  • I have always wanted a North Face jacket, but so many of their styles only come in large or smaller. Since I was a size 18/20, that would not have fit me. When I started losing weight in January (yes, I've stuck to my new year's resolution :) ), I decided that my reward will be purchasing a North Face jacket once the…
  • When I decided to lose weight was when I finally realized that it was going to take me a year+ no matter when I did it, so why not start now? Simply acknowledging that I am in for the long haul has helped keep me going. Now that I have seen some success, what I have already accomplished keeps me moving forward. The time…
  • Definitely check out Goodwill. Every one that I have been to has a separate rack for plus size clothes, so that makes it easier to find something that might fit. If you like or don't mind wearing skirts, another thing I do is quickly scan the rack of skirts for elastic waistbands. Because they stretch, they are more…
  • Another possibility is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Hopefully your doctor will be able to determine what is going on.
