  • I'm also struggling. I went about 120 days straight... lost about 15lbs, then maintained, then gained most of it back despite keeping track.

  • Diet Love Martini: 1 oz. Peach Schnapps 1.5 oz. Coconut Rum 2 oz. Diet Cranberry Juice 150 calorie treat!

Unfortunately hormones are the only thing that can control my acne, but it seems like a worthy thing to give…
  • 5'3" and my goal is to be between 115-120. Hoping to lose a lot in my stomach and chest. My upper torso just makes me look so much heavier.
  • Height: 5'3" Weight: 137lbs (heaviest ever- currently adjusting thyroid meds) Goal: 115-120lbs Additional goal: Decrease my out of control bust size! I gained 2 cups in 18 months! Don't know my actual measurements ATM, but I would love to look great in a new costume I am working on. Kinda good to see that there are a lot…
