My weight has steadily increased over the years since I've been on the pill, despite not changing my eating habits. :( It also makes me moody as hell. But the benefits outweigh the side effects I guess. Can't do without it... LOL

I am 5'2 3/4" (yes, the 3/4" counts...as we all know) My goal weight for now is 125. Once I get there, if I feel like I could go a little lower, I'll work towards that. No lower than 120, though! Currently 134...it's not too far away...

Friend request sent! Sounds like you are making awesome progress already, wow!

There is definitely a significant difference! You look great, and I'm sure your progress will continue! :) Keep it up!!

BMI is a load of bull, IMHO! It is a loose generalization and seems way off for many people. I don't know why doctors use it as a gold standard. I think body fat percentage and lean muscle mass is a better guide. My idea BMI puts my weight somewhere around 116...at 116, I looked a little bit too thin. The low end of my BMI…

Great story!! :) I'm proud of you! My goal is just to run a mile non-stop right now...and I know I'll achieve it. Maybe by end of February...if I work hard enough :)

32? :)

Holy crap. I just switched off of a Pfizer brand a few months ago! Thank GOD for that...

Bump, I wanna know about this too!

What an amazing difference! Keep going, you're doing AMAZING!!!

Bumpity Bump! Gotta try these!

I WANT THESE!!!!! :flowerforyou:

Mine was a day and a half early since starting this process, and was MEGA heavy. I'm due again this week, so we'll see what happens. I'm on the pill and normally I get it on a Thursday evening and it only lasts 3 days. This past time, I got it Wednesday morning and it lasted through Sunday evening. Ugh! LOL Not one of the…

Friend Request sent! :) We all need lots of friends on this journey!

I drive a 2012 Subaru Legacy...It is the first new car I've ever bought, it's got some cool bells and whistles, and I love it! Can't wait to try it out in the snow this winter!

I can see a real difference! In your stomach and arms!! :) Keep going!

I do 60 minutes, 4 times per week. Mostly cardio, but some days I will do a circuit training class instead! :)

You are doing your heart a lot of good by eating healthier and exercising. I bet your cholesterol level has dropped too. It's amazing the changes to our body (inside and out!) when we start taking care of ourselves!

Both!! Really, any animals. I just adopted 2 kitties from the SPCA last night, actually. In the past, I've had a dog, 2 other kitties, and 3 ferrets! Oh, and we have 3 fish as well. Total animal lover here. I could never choose a favorite! That would be like asking me what my favorite food is...I just love so many of…

Feel free to add me! This site really does keep me accountable, knowing that I'll get support and motivation from everyone each time I log on :)

Of course you can add me as well! The more support, the better, in my opinion :)

I don't have a ending deadline. By Valentine's Day, I would like to be down to 130, which will be halfway to my goal. But if I don't make it, that's okay too....I'm still making progress each day, no matter whether the scale shows it or not! :)

Welcome! I'm 5'3" and started out with just over 20 lbs to lose. I've already lost 5 so I'm staying strong. Feel free to add me...I love this site and spend a lot of time on here on my days off! :)

I'm on day 21 here...I log on every day except 12 hour work days, which I log during the evenings! Feel free to add me. I love lots of support :)

Forest Hill, Maryland! :) All Marylanders, feel free to add me!

I'm from Maryland, just outside of Baltimore! :smokin:

This! :) Motivating friends help me the most!

Sometimes I will portion my treats into small bags and throw away the big bag (for cheetos and chips especially). Once I'm finished my bag, that's it. There's no getting "a few more" from the big bag. Honestly, though, I can't even touch a cheeto. I literally can't stop eating them. I know my limits by now. I just don't…

Hey girl! Welcome! I'll add you as a friend. I love the support I get from people on this site. It really motivates me to stay active and "behave" with my meals.

Your body is amazing! What a difference! Great work!
