Congratulations! IIsn't it a weird feeling? I've had the same experience. This year at Christmas my mom only bought me size small shirts cause I had been complaining that all of my clothes were too big and looked sloppy but as I sat opening all I could think was "these are never going to fit.. I'm going to have to return…

I'm 5'3" and some change weighing in right now around 145. Original goal weight was 142 (which was my peak athletic performance weight in high school) but I'm realizing now that I still look a lot bigger now than I did then because my muscle to fat ratio was a lot different. So now I'm reevaluting... not sure how much more…

I've been in your shoes... err cast! I had a really bad ankle break a couple years ago. As someone else said the arm bike is a good place to get some cardio in and walking on crutches is a good workout in and of itself. I also did chair yoga (still a really good workout) at my gym and swam with a pullbuoy once I had my…

I used to eat 3 or 4 Lean Cuisines or Smart Ones a week and could not drop weight. Cut them and a lot of the other packaged foods I was taking to work out of my diet and losing has been 100 times easier. I think my body is super sensitive to sodium though.

I had a lot of problems with weight gain on the anti-depressants paxil and lexapro. Gained about 30 pounds while taking paxil and dropped 20 within 3 months after switching to citalopram. I've been antidepressant free for 18 months and am the lightest I've been since I started taking them in 2005. I've found it much easier…

My jack russel annnnd my cavalier spaniel lol. 36 pounds down from my highest weight :)

This week I noticed definition in my arms. Changing up my lifting routine is working :)

Congrats to all of you on your accomplishments as well! @Mary I did that a few weeks back when I fit into the one pair of skinny jeans I didn't have the heart to throw away cause I liked them so much. It was just so exciting, I had to cry. @Brett That is a Huge change. Well done you!

I'm 5'3" almost 5'4" but my goal is 144.That's my high school "fit" weight... might reevaluate when I get there because I had a lot more muscle in those days so to look like that I may need to way less. But I don't think I'd like the way I looked below 135, I love being strong and having muscles :)

My Boyfriend has the exat same problem caused by weight loss and he uses athletic tape to cover his nipples and wears a tightly fitted underarmour underneath or in place of t-shirts. He has found this really cuts down on the pain and chaffing caused by his "man boobs". He also uses bandaids sometimes but finds they fall…

Thanks! And yes, they are sore today. But surprisingly not as bad as I might have thought, I've done a mile straight thru on the treadmill recently but not outside so I was really worried about not being able to walk today. But so far I'm feeling pretty good.

Loove using mustard as a replacement for aayo in my Tuna salad.
