I've lost 40+ over 2 years and I am a completely different person than I used to be. It's been hard on relationships and things have changed. My husband commented the other day on how I used to just lay on the couch when I got home and never wanted to do much. Now, I exercise, love to socialize and meet new people, and my…

Improper use of there, their, and they're. How did these people get a bachelor's degree?

Highest weight 210 not counting pregnancies, am currently 163, wearing size 8/mediums. Would like to get to 150.

I highly recommend the book "Feeling Good" by David Burns. It did wonders for me. Basically it says that our feelings stem from our thoughts, conscious and unconscious. If you want to change the way you feel, you have to change your thoughts. Worked for me when I was 21, and I recently revisited the book during a "down"…

It's not a diet, it's your life. Life sucks when you don't want to do things because you're self conscious. Life's awesome when you're not. Do what you have to do to get to awesome.

I could have written this post word for word. For real. I started where you are in 2012, 210 lbs. I yo yo'd my way up and down, and in 2013 I got down to 180. August of 2013 I fell off the wagon. Saw 189 on the scale the day before Christmas 2013 and said "Oh Hell NO"! Back on the wagon. I got down to 161 this past summer,…

LOVE my charge HR. I would recommend it to everyone.

If you want you can add me as a friend and creep my diary. I try to hit 100-145 grams a day. Eggs and Ham, protein shakes, Lean meat, yogurt, I double the meat on my sandwiches at Subway... etc. I rarely get the common carbs you think of, maybe one slice of bread or one potato a day. I'm not perfect at it yet, but I try :)…

Mayo and Sriracha. Yum!!!

I would postpone the wedding. Seriously he sounds like he's 2 years old in this deal throwing a tantrum. I would not want to spend the rest of my life with a guy who hates his job and spends the majority of his time playing video games...Just my 2 cents.

I am 5'6" too, weigh 161 lbs, and eat generally 1500-1700 calories a day. I lose weight at about 1 lb every 10 days. My TDEE is not very high, about 2100 on average per my fitbit and that's with exercise most weeks. A sedentary day for me is about an average burn of 1800-1850 calories. You could easily go up to 1400…

I have come close a few times, usually happens when I'm pushing myself too hard. If I slow my pace a little, the feeling goes away and I'm fine.

I think "privilege" is just a loaded word. Everyone is judged by their appearance. Period. When you meet someone on the street, until you get to know them, you make basic assumptions immediately. I read the Forbes article, and I believe that weight may have played a role in my career trajectory. I gained about 50 lbs after…

You can't get to the community from the app, only the actual site.

I'm sorry OP, but the advice being given that you are wholely dismissing here IS good advice. I am 5'6" and weigh 163, have lost 25 lbs eating north of 1500 calories a day, occasionally upping to 1700-2000 for a few days just to give my body a rest from the constant deficit. (TDEE 2100) This has allowed my body enough…

TL:DR all the replies I have friends on my home feed for support and motivation, I come to the forums for information, not pats on the back. Period.

I was talking to my hubs about this last night. I pulled out a T shirt I bought last weekend and it's tiny. I looked at it in the store thinking there's no way I'd fit in that thing and sure enough, it not only fits, I've been getting compliments left and right on it. I still believe or think or whatever it is that those…

I often eat non-breakfast foods for breakfast. Who cares when you eat soup or left over pizza?

You are not logging your food so I'm going to venture out and say you're eating a lot more than you think you…

Put on a new running top, one of the warmer ones that's fitted the other day and my 8 year old says " hey mom, you're not fat at all anymore!" Not my SO, but still significant and welcome:smile:

Haven't been too consistant logging food lately, but trying. Log in every day though, but in the US. Feel free to add me if you like :smile:

That's AWESOME!! I recently went from a 12 to an 8 and I was about ready to flip out. To a 3? THAT"S FANTASTIC!!! Great job girl:drinker:

Bump

The sound of people brushing their teeth. You all have covered the rest...

Bump

Took my measurements this morning and my right thigh is 3.75"s smaller than it was in December 2013. I'm happy with that :smile:

I get Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds) in my head saying "You got this, baby girl!" I love Shemar Moore so it's definately motivating :laugh:

I started running a few months ago. I remember the first time I did that .5 without stopping! I was SO excited too!! I did follow the c25k for the first few weeks. Now I have run 2 5k's and regularly run 2.5-3.5 miles 3 times a week. THE BEST piece of advice I got during this process is to SLOW DOWN your pace as you try to…
