I've got 40+ days of open diary and I'm pretty active. Anyone can add me if they'd like. :)

I won't necessarily argue here. To look at how men focus on women would be an entirely different and long debate. I 100% agree that women are often the culprit. My question was posed to everyone who answered the original question without actually questioning the question itself as well as OP and everyone else who has been…

I think the real question is why is this asking about bigger women in bikinis? Why not bigger *people* in bikinis/speedos/not covering much? I have a bigger issue with the focus just on what women wear. Why do we point a huge spotlight on women and what they wear and their size?

Don't get caught up in labels. You should get your body fat percentage measured or speak to your doctor if you're worried about being unhealthy. It's difficult to say how fit/healthy someone is from a photo. Just make sure you're comfortable in your skin and healthy.

I have a series that I only watch while working out, and I eat a tablespoon of peanut butter after working out. It sounds stupid, but I try to have as many little motivators as possible because I tend to get bored and demotivated really easily. Logging my workouts here also helps motivate me because it's adds calories to…

Now I'm thinking maybe I'm just a bad person. I don't know if it's a confidence issue. I think I'm confident, but I also see myself as being incredibly different from everyone else. Maybe I'm just no attractive enough to make up for my personality. I know what is good about me, but the self esteem is completely physical.

Hi, I'm Alyssa. I'm 22 and 5'9" CW: 171 GW: 140 I am a computer science person, so I am at a desk pretty often. I also focus on cardio with some strength training. :)

Be careful of your cholesterol with shirmp :) Though lemon pepper grilled shirmp is pretty amazing...and shrimp cocktail.

Nope! Have you ever blacked out?

Carousel. It's a very sweet picture. You should reenact it now. :)

I love all of those things :O except sour cream. I just enjoy that occasionally. I've never had pecan pie or swiss chard (I think)

More dance sequences and less story line ;p

*edit* person above me got banned Super!

The person above me must have got banned so *edit* You look like you'd like a track star

Nice and fun profile photo :) Is it professionally done?

How old am I? haha

Try to think of the big picture. Stick with things and you're going to be healthier as you get older. You wouldn't scrap a painting because you made a few smudges. You've got a whole lotta canvas left to make what you want with.

Jane from Tarzan...at least I'm pretty sure. Small photo :p

I kind of think she looks like a Roxy. Super similar to Ruby though

Haha, I love that! Do it for the cats! *edited* Haha, I am used to NSV being no small victory. Oops! I should have figured. My NSV would be having to kick myself for throwing out all my smaller summer pants because I told myself I wouldn't ever fit into a size 11 again. Now all my summer pants are too big.

I'm a bit confused at what your asking. My policy has always been only buy clothing you can put on. If it's so small you can't put it on, then you don't want to drive yourself crazy waiting and obsessing over it not fitting for x amount of time.

Well in my opinion it looks like the difference in weight is so small that I can't really give you an accurate number. Honestly, the photos aren't that different that I would think it matters too much. Maybe you're 1-2% off, but eyes aren't good enough at this point to give you any meaningful number. tl;dr The difference…

No problem! You might try finding people with similar stats who have been using MFP for longer to see if you can estimate by them, but weight loss is tricky and there are some many factors. As long as you feel like you're moving in a positive direction just stick with it! You can readjust in a few weeks if it doesn't feel…

https://www.myrebody.com/weightlosscalculator Try using that calculator to questimate yourself.

It's hard to calculate how much you could lose. I'm not an expert or a dietitian, but if you keep up an exercise regimen and honestly log your calories it sounds like you will lose weight doing as you described. That's really all I can speculate. Is there a reason you need to know a timeline?

I'm definitely my harshest critic. Sometimes I question whether what's in the mirror matters at all. I think it's hard to go from a state of mind where you're unhappy with yourself because of your appearance to one where you don't criticize every little thing. Everyone is different though. I've been 150, 200+, and I'm…
