I typically do a dance every time I eat. I often sing or hum, too (don't worry, not loud). It's weird at restaurants, but it's just because I'm so excited for food! LOL

Specialty bridal lingerie stores will carry corsets, waist cinchers, and other undergarments to help you look best in your dress. Also, if your dress has any kind of fullness at the skirt, that will help to make your waist look smaller.

I'm so happy for you!

I think something happens around the 20/25 lb mark that makes people really notice the difference. Great work!

Someone posted on this a few days ago, too. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/85752-bra I still recommend the Lunaire... it's around $30 and fully adjustable. I wear the 34DDD and my bra size is a 34F. Happy hunting!

To the people who mentioned it... embrace the booty! :bigsmile:

And... it looks like you're going to blow your next mini-goal away. So good job!

What's wrong with nuts? Eat some! If you don't have any, try sending someone else down to the store so you won't be tempted to get the jujubes. I would think if you give in just a little bit to the craving, I bet it will be easier to get the work done so you won't be preoccupied.

It seems like there are a few of us who have found that we now love a part of our bodies that we used to hate. What a self-esteem boost! Congratulations everyone on making it through another week!

Oh my gosh, "Love Density"... That is my new favorite. I will be sure to use it frequently.

You know it... I definitely feel more alert and intelligent when I'm not focusing on how I feel like a large blob at my desk everyday. LOL

Yay! I bet your daughter loves that too. Sometimes "less to love" is a good thing. :smile:

That's great! There are so many benefits to getting healthy. I bet you can outrun those "skinny-fat" girls at the gym. :happy:

This has only ever been proven in one study involving rats, and even the authors of the study agreed that it does not apply to humans. Humans have free will in their food choice whereas the rats were fed a pre-determined, dairy based diet, loaded with more artificial sweetener than any reasonable person would consume in…

Not me, but my friend won't eat meat off the bone. She has to dissect her food completey and make sure all fat, tendons, veins, etc. are out of the meat before she'll eat it. It's quite annoying. :)

For me, it's not that I can't give it up, it's that I don't want to. I've done it before, but I didn't feel any different, I didn't look any different, and I don't believe the pseudo-science behind all of those claiming it's poisonous, etc. And there are plenty of natural substances that are addictive... I'm going to look…

I love avocados on sandwiches, salads, in tacos, etc. The best taste ever (but not calorie count) is avocado on pizza with goat cheese, pesto, and red onion. I used to love bagels with cream cheese, avocado, tomato, red onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for breakfast. I'm sure that could be adapted to be a bit better…

I loooooooove burritos. I, too, used to eat a burrito a day. I have never counted the calories or fat grams that I used to inhale at my favorite taco shop - I would probably cry. But I do miss them! As for drinking, I stick to vodka/soda with a lemon and a lime and what the heck, sometimes an orange and a cherry, a whole…

For some people it's allergies and for some it's not. People who posted that sinus drainage goes down the back of your throat and into your lungs and/or stomach are correct. You may be coughing that up, in addition to other mucous in your lungs. Rhinitis (swollen nasal tissue) is what causes excess mucous production when…

Just curious, how did they find out that she was going to wear a tux in the first place? Are all students required to submit their intended prom attire beforehand for approval? Because I bet you some of those girls that are going with boys are going to be wearing some pretty skanky outfits anyway. I'd rather have a girl in…

I'm obsessed with lingerie, and I shop frequently at specialty shops. I can't tell from your pictures, but it seems like most women on here are rather large chested. If you have a free hour and a little extra money, please look into going to a specialty store instead of a sports store, especially if you're not the normal…

I work at a very small boutique dealership that does the high-end stuff, so I'm often out of the office delivering cars or picking up cars, meeting with clients, etc. And even though we don't keep food on site normally, every time I stop at a gas station the snack aisle calls to me. I'm one of the few females who does my…

Can't stand sweet and salty together anymore, but when I was a kid it was white bread with peanut butter and bologna. Now, I have a favorite meal of MorningStar spicy black bean veggie burgers with melted swiss cheese on top, covered in wilted spinach with a little bit of light butter. And my favorite "white" snack of raw…

My suggestion is to not get down on yourself for having one bad week. The only thing you are in control of is yourself and if there are outside stressors at work, just remember that you need to let someone else worry about that. Only worry about what you can do. And if you can't exercise this week, then that's ok. I…

I'm 6'0" At 205 I was wearing a 14 jean, or a tight 12 in which there was no bending or sitting allowed, tops were XL and dress size was a 10/12. Currently, at 175ish I can finally fit in "designer sized" jeans in a 31/32 if they have stretch, or a 10/12 depending on the thigh circumference. A medium top fits my waist (but…

How frequently are you weighing yourself? I found myself getting a bit obsessive and had to back off a bit because I would get angry and depressed if I put on too much from weigh-in to weigh-in. So I had my roommate hide my scale and she would only give it to me every so often. (P.S. She's a really good "hider," I couldn't…

Go to a moderately priced store and tell the sweetest looking sales girl that you're clueless. I'm sure she'll go out of her way to help. Except don't say your mom used to buy your clothes... say your ex or something like that. That sounds better! LOL Ask questions about cut, fit, fabric, etc. Just make sure you get an…

I refuse to give up my Diet Coke. I drink obscene amounts of it. However, I have never seen a single autopsy report stating "Death by diet cola" so I will continue to drink it. I just make sure to drink my water in addition to my DC.

Thanks! I've tried Gap before and it looks like maybe their inseams have gotten a bit longer with their extra-longs so I will try that. I've ordered jeans before from pzijeans.com and they do all of their jeans from inseam lengths of 32 - 38 and I like their fit, but not always their style. And they don't have a ton of…

I've been going grey since I was 16... so after 13 years you can imagine what it looks like! Sometimes I let it go, and it's great for building confidence, but where I live and what I do for work makes it difficult to build a client base! I've already warned the hairdresser though: as soon as I get a nice solid patch at…
