I've used Amazon for years and have never had a problem with their shipping - super saver or otherwise. I will say though that instead of spending $60 for shipping, I would spend $79 and get Amazon Prime for the year. You get free 2 day shipping along with the video streaming, 20% savings on diapers & wipes(if you need…

1200 calories seems pretty low especially for working out 4x a week.....from everything I've read on here you should be eating around your BMR. Im not an expert by any means, but there are many discussions about eating more to lose. Hopefully you find a solution....good luck!

I was vegetarian then vegan for awhile and I got my protein through soy milk, beans, veggie burgers,hummus. I used to make this mixture of whole grain brown rice, onions, red beans, black beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, and seasonings. I would eat it as is or put it on a whole grain tortilla with hummus. So good!

In case this helps anyone, I found a few really cute bathing suits: http://www.target.com/p/Mossimo-Womens-Red-Crochet-Halterkini-Swim-Top/-/A-14007509 http://www.target.com/p/Mossimo-Womens-Mix-Match-Stripe-Tankini-Swim-Top-Assorted-Colors/-/A-13784853…

I found some really cute ones at old navy, target, Victoria's secret, Venus and Torrid.the problem now is deciding...lol I was trying to post links but I f$&@ed it up. Maybe tomorrow with some caffeine. Thanks again for the suggestions!

Um...hahaha! Hope it looks as good on me! :)

Thank you guys so much for the info!!! It always helps when people with real bodies share what works for them. I'm definitely getting on here and going through the links and suggestions on this thread tonight to find a few things. The swimdress definitely looks promising....I guess I will have to suck it up (and in) and go…

Thanks Joanne...I will give it a try!

rjb - that is really cute! I've never seen one that looks like a skirt in front and shorts in back. tbartley- I haven't tried there yet ....the super skinny girls with the big boobs intimidate me - lol

Thanks Janeite...I was thinking about a tankini - just so many different kinds to chose from! Spankybuns - I've seen them everywhere and they look super cute....my question is do they make hips/thighs look larger? I've been thinking about getting one, but that would mean I would have to go to the store and try one…

Wow! What a difference....your skin & hair look awesome - I would kill for that glow!

Thank you guys! It helps to know there are others out there going through the same thing. I'm definitely motivated to get it right this time.....I spend way too much time worrying about my weight! If I missed anyone and you want to be friends feel free to add me! Good luck to everyone!!

Thank you everyone! I can't figure out how to reply to each person but I just wanted to say I appreciate the support! And I agree, Atkins is not the answer. I lost a lot of weight on it a few years back, but gained it all back and then some. And it left me with a weird view of food that I'm trying to get over. I'm…

Thanks! I definitely think logging what you eat and exercising is the way to go!

I just started 30DS again yesterday....I'm hoping to do it 4-5 days a week. I keep getting distracted but summer is almost here & my *kitten* needs to get serious! Hopefully we can keep each other motivated.
