  • Hi everyone! I'm amazed at the responses I received. I'm glad that my progress can inspire others, it makes me feel so good. As for the people who asked how I did it. It was a combination of 3 things, dedication, exercise, and portion control. Dedication: It have always wanted instant results/success and its frustrating…
  • Thanks everyone! I had been waiting and waiting to have some before and after pictures. Reading all your comments gives me the motivation to not make my current weight into a plateau and to get those last 6lbs off! I appreciate all your support :) :)
  • sour cream and onion pop chips!
  • Congrats to your son! Getting into Cal Poly is a huge accomplishment. I'm going into my senior year as a graphic communicaton major. He will love it here and my mom loves coming down to visit me so she can be at the beach! (She recommends staying at the Sandcastle Inn). Have a great time on your trip and make sure to stop…
  • BTW, how the heck do you post a picture from photobucket? I cant figure it out. haha
  • I know what you mean about making a mistake and quitting all together. I would do so good for 2 weeks and then something would come up and then I would throw in the towel. When I first joined MFP in May I started well, but then my grandpa got sick, then I moved houses, then I got the flu ...excuse excuse excuse. I've never…
  • Thank you for all the helpful advice! Excited to purchase one :)
  • I work a desk job as well whenever I'm not in school. I actually found that I eat better on work days because I pack my lunch beforehand so I dont have the temptation of going next store to a local food joint and getting a burger or something unhealthy. I keep a huge water bottle at my desk and try to refill it at least 3…
  • I'm also 5'2 but weigh 140 and want to be 125. Similar goals! Question, how many calories did MFP allot you a day? I'm at 1200. Its pretty easy for me to meat the goal if I exercise but I have a hard time if I dont make it (especially on the weekends). congrats on the 5 pounds lost! I too have a tummy problem area but also…
  • If you have a TJ MAXX nearby I just spent $60 there and got 2 pairs of nike workout shorts, 2 sports bras, addidas work out pants, and a pack of socks. Great deal!
  • Transfer $5 into a savings account for each mini goal than at the end of the month (or few months), spend the money you saved.
  • I'm also 5'2. I feel so short and stout! 5 extra pounds looks more like 15! My current weight its 143 and my goal is 125. I have a hugee butt and carry most of the weight there! I dont think I want to get rid of it completely so 125 seems pretty realistic while still maintaining some curves.
  • Hi there. Your story is pretty much the same as mine, I joined yesterday! I'm going into my senior year of college and weigh 143. I used to have an awesome body at 115 lbs in high school and I totally took it for granted. I've slowly but surely put on the weight and am so busy with school and work that eating out is just…
  • All great advice- and I love how support has poured in so fast! I'm looking forward to using MFP as everyone seems so friendly and helpful. Its already becoming addicting. More reports to come as the week goes on! Right now I'm headed to the pantry to throw out anything too unhealthy and making a trip to the grocery store…
