Honestly, it's going to be like any other BC- either your body will like it, and it will work for you or it will not. Either way, it will take about 3mo for you to adjust to it any really know. I tried the patch a long time ago and did not like it, but it's all personal preference :) I say, go over the pro's and con's with…

in the course of about 80lb's I've gone from 38DD to... 34B. And somewhere along the way I was a 34D, 36C... yeah. Go to good places like Nordstroms when your old bra's stop fitting. Don't just buy something in the next band/cup size down. Bra sizes are *RATIOS* people, so you never really know what your next size will be.…

@mstclair03 pretty pic, no need to change unless you want to re-center it a little more on your face! @rextcat cute panda, but... I do like pictures of people (you could always take one holding a stuffed panda over your face if you want anonymity! :P

@mrsnathanandr nice pic, but rotate it and re-save!

You have a silly friend!

Try changing your calories by a few hundred up or down- you might be eating too much or not enough for how much you are working out etc. I'm 5'3", about the same weight and I do best when I really only eat about 1200 cal or a little less per day. Now, I'm not doing lots of working out like you are, but see if your total…

I've been hearing this since 150... and I'm 136 now going for 125! I'm 5'3", so technically I could go to 118 and be ok per the BMI stuff. And I have a 'delicate' bone structure (small hands, feet, narrow wrists etc) so it makes sense for me to try and go to the lower end of that. Whenever I get that crap if I'm feeling…

Basically, your mental image is stuck, and you can't see the stuff other people can see. Don't worry about it too much if you can help it- focus on measurable goals and stuff like your measurements, pant sizes and achievements like tracking for a whole week or other healthy goals. Try not to put yourself down if someone…

Oh god this again. heh. A Pound is a pound. Just like an oz is an oz. You are in fact right- muscle takes up less space- image below. https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSY9DLa0gu6PIQWm47t_T4PL4ZvWh0YCdqp4mJaS2v9jzjKqq6j Honestly, it's mostly not worth bothering with when people say in incorrectly because…

I've been veg most of my life, and have never had too much of a problem. I realized when I joined this site that a lot of the stuff I was already eating had more protein than I thought! Scrambled eggs with mushrooms and little cheese Fat Free re-fried beans with fat free cottage cheese and low fat cheese (or regular cheese…

lol awesome~

8 love the red on your outfit!

What someone else said... **bring a friend with you!!** The first few times I went to buy new clothes, I just bought the next size down because they seemed to fit, and had a co-worker tell me the next day that I still was wearing the wrong size! When you go to the dressing room, grab three sizes, start with the biggest and…

If you are looking for WW specific help, I'd actually just reccomend going to the WW boards on their site. They have a huge online community presence that was really helpful when I was doing WW!

fyi on the Steel cut oatmeal- Trader Joe's (grocery store, CA and??) has individual servings frozen for pretty cheap. I love it, and can add half a banana, or some peanut butter depending on my mood. For savory, breakfast burrito is excellent~ there are 50cal low fat high fiber tortillas from la tortilla factory that I…

There are worse things out there for you, so don't feel too bad! If you are going to a proper sit down place, there are generally lots of currys on the menu that are made with stuff potatoes and veggies. Also, if you avoid the cream based stuff (I think that would be 'masala' sauces correct me if I'm wrong) then you could…

I'm in a really similar situation~ lost about 75lb with WW, but had been floundering on points +. Doing calories instead has finally somehow motivated me to work out a bit more, and I've lost another 10lb's! I'm still figuring out what I want my final weight to look like, but I think doing both has been amazing! Now if…

Your daily calorie goal is designed with a deficit already in place. You should always eat at least that many calories per day, workout or no. My daily goal is 1200, so that should be my daily min no matter what. If you workout, you can eat the workout calories and still have a deficit, because of the built in starting…

Really, it's about finding some veggies you like. I'm a veg and have been pretty much my whole life, but I'm not the biggest fan of most veggies. I like yellow squash, and mushroom for adding to pasta- whole wheat pasta, some marinara and sauted vegetables makes for a really simple filling dinner, and you can add some mozz…

I'm grabbing chocolate pudding cups- 80cal for one that I found (fat free, I think no sugar added?) works pretty well, and you can microwave it depending on if you are craving something hot or cold~

So not quite sure what you are asking here. If you are double tracking (ie tracking in WW points either online or on paper trackers) and tracking calories on this site- you record everything you eat in both places, but it looks different. For WW tracking, if you eat something that is 0points, you still write it down ie.…

I've seen different ideas on this- I think it really boils down to needing to be a personal decision after you have either gotten to your goal or a 'stopping point'. I've read that it can take as much as 6mo before your body adjusts as much as it is going to after weight loss. In other words, some of the skin etc will…

I'm in a similar position~ gone from 216 to 137, and working towards a goal of 135. Now that I'm so close, I'm thinking I want to go a little lower, but I'm trying to face the fact that I won't look the way I really want to unless I get my butt in gear with exercise. If you are not doing any now, start with some cardio…

You might want to look again at what the site is recommending as your daily calorie target. If you are really concerned about not losing weight fast enough, remember that what is quickly lost is generally quickly gained back as well. They pretty clearly state that the lowest anyone should try for is around 1200 cal per…
