Vanity is my number one reason for losing weight. I dont have any health problems and I see nothing wrong with having "looking better" as a motivation to lose. I have to second whoever said looking better in pictures, though :D

I'm in Seattle so I'm rooting for the Seahawks!

Fun! I'm 35 Height: 5'1" My highest ever weight was 147lbs. My current HW is 124lbs CW: 123 GW: 114 UGW: maintain between 110-115 Feel free to add me, I'd love to have some friends working on those last ten/fifteen pounds :)

Everyone has to start somewhere so don't feel bad!! I started with 3lbs, then 5lbs, then 10lbs and now 15lbs for single arm bicep curls. I'm hoping to move up to 17.5 soon. I don't have a bar (yet- yay christmas!) So I hold 25lbs in each hand for squats. I know I'm not up to some peoples heavy lifting par but I feel I'm…

What a good idea! Sadly, you wont grow three heads... It also won't make you gain your weight back. Unless you're allergic to aspartame (and some people are) you won't find there are any negative effects.

You can't. Sadly. I know this because it was my husband trying to motivate me and nothing he ever said or did made it work. I had to come to my own realization and then working out was easy to fit into my agenda. That said, maybe you could go on walks together?

I like how you think! Its funny because my family has used the word skinny forever and it has never had a negative association with it in my mind. It was always a compliment! Skinny has never meant sickly or unhealthy. I never realized people hated it so much til I got here. I want to be skinny AND eat bacon AND lift…

Im at 40/30/30. Im 5'1.5 when I wake up in the morning. I currently weigh 120 but I was at 117 before my vacation. My goal is 114. Im at 1360 right now but when I start Chalean Extreme again (likely Monday) I will definitely be bumping that up, probably between 1500-1600 since that worked well last time (1200 had me…

Endless negativity.

I went to college with a girl name Golden Sunshine. She said her parents were hippies...

Go to a major department store and get truly fitted. NOT Victoria's Secret. Nordstroms or Macy's or a place like that. I started at 34E at 147lbs and am now a 32DDD at 118lbs. So you may not lose much boobage which means investing in a good bra is critical. Moving Comfort, Enell and my personal favorite Freya, all come…

If you've lost 35lbs in two months, you are doing very well. If its been two months and you havent lost anything, then you can think about changing up your routines and eating more and/or eating your exercise calories back. It's quite possible that you are not intaking enough calories and your body is reacting to that.…

Mcdonalds has been doing this for years where I live. I enjoy McDonalds occasionally and I like being able to plan it into my calorie allowance. The article was skewed negatively and Im not sure why. Just like every place you go out to eat at, some choices are better than others and its great that theyre expanding this…

Yogurt. And I did gag when I saw that head cheese picture. Tripe. Although that didnt just make me want to, I actually did. Later. Blech.

I'm 5'1" and I eat 1360 plus my exercise calories if I want to. I started (and lost the majority of my weight) at 1200 but when I started researching after my losses dramatically slowed, I realized that I could eat more and it wouldn't hurt :) I do tend to hover between 1200 and 1360 on non workout days and between…

One of my goals was to hit my drivers license weight! I started 19 pounds over but im now 8 lbs under :)

Men Who Stare at Bacon The Wizard of Bacon The Importance of Being Bacon

Owning a home is a lot more than just a down payment, let me say from experience!! I would suggest that maybe owning a home isnt the best thing for you but I dont know your true situation. Renting is NOT a bad thing! Also, if living with your parents is affecting your mood and outlook on life, its time to move out whether…

Thanks for the update, I loved reading it. Other people's drama is so much better than my own :D Sounds like you came to a good conclusion after all of it, too. Bummer about the guy not stepping up to the plate, though.

Alright, I'm shameless. I desperately want to know how everything went!

I love twins! Female 35 SW: 147 CW:121 GW: 114 Add me if you're anywhere close :D

Yes, people say that. No, I'm not sick of it. I take it as the compliment they mean it as and thank them. Of course, I intend to keep on going with my weight loss but I would never resent someone for saying they think I look skinny! I should add that no one has ever said this to me in a mean, spiteful or negative way. If…

2-4lbs typically, however I now try to just avoid weighing myself during TOM so I don't growl at the scale :D

Im late I know but it was fun to read all this. Im 5'1" and currently weigh 121 (down from 147). My goal is 114 and then see how I feel.

Sadly, sometimes our genetics have more say in what our body looks like than we do. Grats on your losses! And if you want boots, go in there and ask for them! No one will care that you want wide leg ones!

Luckily, i have been using Mio for quite awhile and have not experienced this sort of thing at all. ETA: True Lime and True Lemon are also great tasting in water!

I think saving up for one is a good idea. You're going to have a hard time finding a supportive, good bra that isn't around $60. I am a 32E which is expensive anyway :P but I can personally recommend Freya's sports bra. I can do jumping jacks with virtually no bounce! Its amazing. I've heard good things about Moving…

I like Coke and I love Coke Zero. I hate Diet Coke. The difference? I asked this question of a Coke executive. Do you remember when they came out with the new version of Coke? The new recipe in the 80's? And everyone hated it so much so they switched back to the old (classic) recipe? This is why Coke is called Coca-cola…

I am concerned for you. As are many others. Please tell your mother what you just wrote. Let her help you find the help you need, especially if you don't know where to turn. Get to the doctor and be honest about all this. You can do it! You can be a healthy weight, love yourself and your body AND EAT, too! It's possible…

I'm 5'2" and I'm at 124 trying to lose ten more pounds :D Feel free to add me :)
