BMI of 24 You have a lower BMI than 71% of females aged 15-29 in your country. You have a higher BMI than 68% of females aged 15-29 in the world. If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would add 3,337,810 tonnes to the total weight of the world's population. You're most like someone from Iraq.

Up your food intake - your body is probably holding on to fat as a means of protecting it against the amount of exercise you're doing. It may take a little time, but when your body realizes it's getting more food, you'll see the pounds begin dropping.

Seaweed Chips - loooooooooove this stuff!! The entire package is 60 calories and it has protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and a whole bunch of other deliciousness! Classic Hummus - for the calories, it keeps you full and satisfied for a while, especially when paired with TJ's celery or baby carrots Otherwise, fresh produce!!…

Honestly, there are a lot of times I don't feel motivated. But I MAKE myself get up and work out - that's the only way to do it. Some days are easier than others. That being said, the biggest thing that's helped me is making small changes. Once I've mastered one, I add on another. I found that if I change too much too…

Yes, I'm wearing it correctly. It feels comfortable most of the time, just not when I'm typing on my laptop. I've never worn a watch because I don't like how it feels around my wrist (as a general rule, I don't wear jewelry because I find it annoying and constrictive). Laptops extend out further than regular PC keyboards,…

I just got my Fitbit Flex this past Saturday as an early birthday present from my boyfriend (because I told him I wouldn't buy it for myself). Having worn it for the last few days, I now know that I would DEFINITELY buy it for myself haha. It is awesome. Excuse the novel, but here are my thoughts about it: Pros - My…

So inspirational...I love it!! Thank you for sharing. This was exactly the pick-me-up that I needed =) Cheers to your continued success and health!:drinker:

It's a good thing. Too little bone mass = brittle bones. Exercise actually helps maintain bone health. =D So woohoo!

As someone with a B.A. in English: Truth.

I'm with you on this one. It drives me absolutely crazy!!

As someone who has no tattoos, that sounds like a lovely idea. =) In the end, it is your body, do what you like with it. This is a meaningful form of self-expression and, as you mentioned, a beautiful reminder of what you have accomplished. Yes, you will get old and your skin will sag, but everybody gets wrinkly. It's part…

Wonder Woman! =D

I'd be your first customer. That sounds awesome!! :love:

A lint-covered gummy bear. Don't ask me how it got there.

You look WONDERFUL!!! Not at all sickly or ill. What I found when I stepped back and looked at my family is that nearly everybody is overweight. The ones that aren't don't eat well. You learned your original food habits from somewhere, right? It was probably your family. They're looking at you through the lens of your old…

I really feel for you. Raising kids is tough. My mom had both ends of the spectrum with my sister & me. My sister was like your stepson, while I tried not to make any waves. After all, my sister was making enough! :tongue: I've been dating a man with two young children, a 5-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. The…

All I can say is: WOW!!!!!!!!! Great job, great spirit, great passion!! Thank you for sharing your story :smile:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Too funny!!! Mine loves The Sweetest Thing. His excuse? It has a really funny song about d*cks. Made me watch it with him the other day. Not my thing. :tongue:

My boyfriend would agree! :drinker: We had this conversation the other day, haha.

It is what it is.

I keep all of my work-appropriate shoes in my car. I drive to and from work in flip-flops and only change shoes once I get there. :tongue:

I've never been a girly girl, but I found that taking care of myself in small ways - painting my nails, doing my hair, putting on makeup - have helped me feel more comfortable in my own skin. Part of this change I'm making is learning how to love myself. These little ways of showing myself I'm valued definitely help boost…

What dedication and drive!!!!! You are such an inspiration. Congratulations, hun!! :flowerforyou: You look marvelous and you're glowing.:smooched:

It takes time to adjust. We're not just shedding pounds, we're shedding old habits, attitudes, and perceptions we've learned throughout our lives. Insecurities are ever-present, but we have to work through them. I know I can tell you this until I am blue in the face and you won't believe me, but you are very pretty. =) We…

I'm so sorry. Rest in peace, pup. :heart:

I can't see the forest through the trees; he can't see the trees for the forest. I'm good with tedious, steady, detailed paperwork; he thrives in challenging, high-stress, hands-on environments. I'm a paper-pusher with a B.A. in English Lit, he's an ex-Army medic training for nursing. We find that our strengths and…

LOL!!!!!!!!
