This happens to everyone, girl. Don't let it ruin your motivation. We all have those days. I tend to save those days for when I'm going to a mexican restaurant! Haha! Feel free to friend me! I log and post a lot, and I'm always happy to give support! :)

I personally really love that show! I hope I would be one of the people who spoke out against wrong-doers! :)

Wow! We are practically the same height and weight. You're a 4 and I'm an 8! What brand do you wear a 4 in? :) I want to buy some of those ;)

I'm currently 5'3", 135 lbs, and my size 8's are starting to get loose! (This is in Aeropostale brand, mind you...in Old Navy, I can wear a 6).

^^^ THIS! We all have these days. Sometimes we have whole weeks of this. The positive changes we are making don't just get reversed by a couple of bad meals. Take a deep breath, come up with an action plan, and choose to once again get back on track! :) You can do it!

Absolutely! We can do it! Weekend willpower!!!!! Woo Hoo!!

Girl, you look fabulous! But you've gotta be comfortable with your body, and that's the most important thing. As long as you're eating a balanced diet and staying active, and feeling healthy, 105-110 may be perfect for you. Back in high school, I was 5'3" and about 108, and I ate whatever I wanted. I looked really…

How many calories are in a serving of Kefir? I am super interested in trying it. I already eat a yogurt ranch dressing containing kefir!

I would say about once a week for me...however, my habits have changed. I eat more grilled chicken sandwiches, and I now order a small fry and only eat a little more than half of it. Sometimes I get a salad instead of a sandwich. Bottom line is this...I'm doing this as an adjustment, not as a diet. Truthfully, I won't give…

This is what I usually do. A tortilla can come in so many sizes. And the amount of chicken can vary. And cheese is the WORST culprit....there is sooo very little in a "serving"....there was probably several servings of cheese in your meal. Kudos on skipping the sour cream. That's my favorite part...LOL

^^ This!!!!! So true!

That's amazing! Congrats on beating that awful disease. I am a RN on an oncology floor, so I see what cancer really looks like. You should be commended! Congrats on wanting to live healthier as well! I'd love to support each other on this journey! I will friend you :flowerforyou: Amanda

Jess - there are specialty running shoe stores that will literally videotape the way that you walk and custom fit a shoe for you. They are not cheap...I think I paid 120 bucks for mine, but they were so incredibly comfortable. The brand I got was Brooks. You may want to check out one of those places near you and talk to…

I believe we are twins as well.. 5'3 CW 136 GW 120 :) PS: I have two other twins from this thread, so that makes us quadruplets I guess? LOL :laugh:

I'm your twin!!! YAY! Height: 5'3" CW: 136 GW: 120ish! I'll add you!

What ARE her measurements? I've always wondered about this...

She is so beautiful and naturally curvy. I think she's extremely feminine! I think that's what I would hope to look like when I'm done. Except my boobs aren't that big...but hey, that's what pushup bras are for! ;) PS: AWESOME thread! Very motivating to me.

Wow, that is a NICE reward! I'd be getting my butt to the gym every day! :-D

What are Dream Chocolate Weight Loss Shakes, and where do you get them?

Oh, I'd love some more 20-something friends! Everyone, please feel free to add me! :) I'm 5'3, currently 137lbs, looking to trim down to between 120 and 125lbs! :) -Amanda

Cooking at home... We really love to go out to eat! :(

I am starting to think I should do the same! Ugh! I'm so frustrated with my obsession with that dang number. If I'm being healthier, what does it REALLY matter? Maybe I should hide my scale as well!

I tried to find classes in my area and they didn't have any listed! Bummer! It looks like fun, too!

You look like a totally different person! Wonderful job, girl!!!! :)

A Baby Shower is a big party that family/friends throw for an expecting mom-to-be! There are usually games, yummy food, cake, and lots of gifts for the mom to help her prepare for the new baby. They don't do these where you are from?

LOL!! Same here! I think that Jessica Biel is a great inspiration. I also appreciate Beyonce and Halle Berry's curves. They are beautiful and very womanly.

I like to do both exercising and watching my diet intake. As for what I monitor, I look at fat, carbs, protein, fiber and sodium. Those are the big ones for me. Especially sodium, since it can cause water weight gain. And fiber, because I'm trying to be more conscious of my fiber intake!

You can really see a difference! Great job!!!

Happy Anniversary, Jessica!

I don't generally eat breakfast on my days off from work. I usually sleep until 9ish, then go straight to the gym, and have a very healthy and hearty lunch when I get home. The only days I'm actually hungry for breakfast are my work days, and that's because I'm up before 6am and at work by 7am. Otherwise, I don't crave…
