try to stop comparing yourself to anyone or anything tell yourself you are beautiful OUT LOUD infront of a mirror everyday whether you mean it or not and out loud say all the things you like about yourself that day physically emotionally relationships family friendships school work...etc. or if you cant think of anything…

weekends are the WORST for me and I don't even have a valid excuse like you. Maybe you can find some of the restaurants in the "Eat This Not That" books if you just google them you can usually find their website and they let you rent books for free for I thiiink a monthish? or just flip through them at a library. They have…

yeeeees I've tried this it's amazeballzzzzzzzzzzzz the chocolate cool whip is awesome although it is true that cool whip has partially hydrogenated oils and my nutrition professor strongly recommends those to NOT be in the diet so I've stopped eating it :( but I think it's okay every once in a while

when I ate less than 1200 calories a day I lost 50 pounds in 3 months while working out by doing cardio and strength training. I then of course couldn't keep this "diet" up so I gained 60 pounds over the next two years and now 4 years after the 60 pound gain I am eating 1600 calories a day and working out twice a week…

I'm afraid of all the above (not particularly the teeth, but I wouldn't like that to happen lol) we just had a mouse in our apartment =O but we caught him last night :D and I believe it's the lack of knowledge about food and it's nutritional value. The media isn't much help with them pushing these "non-fat" and…

LOLzzz same! hmm how about a sport...basketball, tennis, volleyball, swimming? pilates is my favorite workout. I hear zumba is awesome the pole dancing idea sounds good too (: kickboxing is cool too

This is true cardio always helps with my cramps and I'm not poooositive about the orgasm part I don't think I've ever been in the mood for an orgasm when I'm curled up in a ball with terrible cramps...that being said getting to the gym is also pretty tough, but they always go away after a good workout! :)

haha agreed on both statements!!

what a beautiful response :) I have yet to have my own child, but I think our bodies are so amazing to be able to create life!! And my favorite part I suppose are my shoulders I have days when I love my curves, but mostly cause they're getting smaller :)

umm this might be my FAVORITE post!! I haaaate shaving my legs and it's a problem when I wear shorts to the gym....hehe. I used to live in Chicago so I've gotten in the habit of being able to go a while without a good shave (cause of our winters), I also used to go to overnight camp where we wouldn't shave for an entire…

I go on FB when MFP doesn't have enough updates fast enough for me, but MFP is my preferred site :wink: I just love all the positivity and the great advice and all the love :) oh and it's filled with so many more "real" people. At least my pals seem very open and honest and I just love them all :heart:

Do pilates! It completely transformed my tummy. I have stretch marks from being overweight, but not from pregnancy. Either way pilates will make you feel stronger than ever! Be sure to have an instructor that actually comes around and fixes your positioning because the slightest move can make the biggest difference. I did…

good question! hmm probably go shopping...not necessarily to buy things, but to see how lots of new things look on my new body :)

born and raised in Chicago, but going to school in Cali and slowly being converted to a west coast girl :glasses:

Yeah it's so much easier for me. It's important to know what you're putting into your body and it's great to have a plan when you have a busy day :) but always do what you find easiest and most fun! I never plan what I'm gonna eat on Sundays though because I usually eat whatever I want.

weight loss is all about calories in and calories out. I havent read all the comments above, but you do need to eat a certain amount of calories so that your body can function normally. You eat to nourish your brian, nervous system, bones, muscles...everything. if you're not eating enough your body will go into a…

there's a horse in your picture

I'm 6' too!!!! but i don't really know the answer to your question my highest was 230 and now im at 175 but I'm also really scared about excess skin I dont have any yet, but I want to get down to 150 or 155 so we will see. I've been losing it very slowly though like it took me about a year to get from 205 to 175 but it was…

ahhh great job girl! you're looking super hot and it's okay everyone goes up and down and plateaus, but as long as you consistently eat right and work out the weight will come off. you clearly have the motivation! keep doing what you're doing b/c you look awesome and you're for sure inspiring many ppl (:

sex bombshell for real! nice job girl :) what an inspiration!

amazing! looking super sexy now!! :)

Just know that the food is there and if you want/need to it you can easily get it, but just choose not to. Of course it's okay to eat once in a while....like this weekend my roomie came home with a bunch of mini halloween candies and I totally over ate them, but now I'm back to eating healthy the bag is still here I'm just…

I have some personal experience with this because I have been cutting dairy out of my diet for almost a year now...at first I replaced it with soy and now I mostly use rice milk or almond milk. I have consistently been losing weight and keeping it off for almost two years. Taking dairy out of my diet has not hurt or helped…

It seems like you are making changes in your life and small changes make BIG differences you just might not see the results you want right away. Currently I live my life 80% healthy and 20% unhealthy so that I don’t feel deprived of my good yummy bad foods, but I also feel proud when I eat healthy and by having that ratio…

okay i looooove what mellowga just said because that's exactly what i would say! i also used to be such a junk food junkie....but one day i was driving past mcdonalds and i looked at the golden arches and somehow it popped into my head that they look EXACTLY like the tubes that suck the fat out of peoples stomach because…

Make the right choices and stick with it, not just sometimes but ALL THE TIME! ^^love that! and so true!! you are a hot mama now! I'm confident that you will keep it up :)

You're being very strong by actually attending the appointment tomorrow. It's also very healthy to be reaching out for support like this :) you're kids already have an amazing role model to look up to! I hope that every thing works out well for you. I'll do my best to send positive thoughts your way.

Looking great keep it up!! :)

otay dotay tanks! :) i'm not a nutritionist or scientist and this person seems to be very sure of themselves so i would take their advice. good luck!!

Hey again so i did a lil research and found that it doesn't matter if you eat before bed just don't eat a large meal because that will spike your insulin level... "A high insulin spike before bed will keep your GH response lowered…and that is not what you want. Keeping the meal smaller and mostly protein and fat also…
