fun fact -- this is a genetic thing. for some people, cilantro tastes awesome. i guess? i don't know, to other people (myself included) cilantro tastes like soap. it isn't a matter of personal preference, it's just some newfangled mouth chemistry. i hate cilantro. my brother hates cilantro. my grandmother hates cilantro.…

I'm 4'11, 120.5lbs (down from 148lbs when I joined Spring/Summer 2010). I've gotten as low as 115lbs twice since joining MFP -- January 2012 I was 115lbs, but then I changed jobs in March and my dog passed away in April, I stopped tracking calories and I wound up around 125lbs in the summer. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding…

4'11, 120.5lbs, size 4-6, depending on the jeans. unless it's old navy, then i'm a 2 but their sizes are wacky.

anyone know if almond butter has arachidonic acid in it? my neurologist suggested that i stop eating peanut products because it has high levels of arachidonic acid that may cause inflammation and migraines. i love peanut butter and it's been really tough eliminating it from my diet, but i've noticed that when i "cheat" and…

From what I understand, it's "bad" because it's difficult to maintain. I'm 4'11, started on here at 148lbs and only ate 1000-1200 calories for a few months. My only exercise was walking and 30DS. I lost about 30lbs doing that, but I was always hungry and cranky and tired. As soon as I hit my mini goal of 115lbs, I stopped…

my gastroenterologist AND my neurologist claim that MJ can both CAUSE and ALLEVIATE nausea, depending on how often you use it and also HOW you use it.

I'm 4'11 and I swear, we're body twins. I started at 148lbs, I was able to get down to 113lbs this time last year, then I gained up to 125lbs during the summer because I stopped logging. I got back down to 115lbs for a wedding last October, but then Hurricane Sandy came and I stopped logging and exercising because my life…

I've had the pink FT4 since about October 2012 and I love it. I have noticed that the strap tends to stretch out a little over time which leads to problems with the watch part picking up my heart rate. Also when the strap gets stretched out, it winds up twisting and bunching up around my bra and then it doesn't work.…

long island as well, and so far i'm not impressed. ... on second thought, that's how i felt the first few hours of sandy ...

it's all in my boobs, belly, butt, and thighs! instead of an hour glass i'm like a snowman...

you can't spot reduce, you can try to spot tone by doing chest flies and other exercises that work your chest, arms, and shoulders, but that won't get rid of the fat, it might just tone up the underlying muscles. it also has a lot to do with your bra, as the other commenter mentioned. if the band is too big and the cups…

wow we're almost like body twins! i'm 4'11 and currently around 120lbs, my shape looks somewhere between your before & afters. it's so tough being this small!

I went from wearing 36DD (somewhat difficult to find) at 148lbs to 32DDD (IMPOSSIBLE to find) at 122lbs. They're still pretty big but now they mostly stick out in front of me, whereas before they kind of stuck out in front, on the sides, and dominated my upper body. I try to incorporate chest flies and other similar…

I've been going for about a month. I used to attend Lucille Roberts but that's ladies only and my boyfriend wanted to workout as well, plus PF is cheaper ... but you get what you pay for. I liked that Lucille Roberts was only women and also offered classes like zumba and pilates. PF is co-ed, so if you're self-conscious…

i just sit in a puddle of my cooter blood and weep. for days. weeping. actually, i'm glad you posted this. i'm very petite and i typically use tampons because pads are gross, but i've experience the same "shifting" problem. sometimes i'll sneeze and the damn thing will come out a bit! i'm not sure if i'm choosing the wrong…

i don't know how to post pictures but you can see them on my profile. i'm 4'11, 24 years old. my highest weight was around 148lbs (the picture of me in the black dress with the pink hair). my lowest recent weight is around 115lbs (pictures of me and the other bridesmaids in the blue strapless dresses). i am currently…

I must be lucky, because even when my boobs first showed up they were huge! I was wearing 34Ds at 97lbs, 36DD at 148lbs, and now at 123lbs they're at 32DDD with no sign of budging. They looked "fuller" when I was heavier. Not that they're saggy or anything now (omg, I dread the day...) they just looked nicer when I was…

hello! i'm 4'11, 24 years old. my HW was 148lbs, my recent lowest weight was 115lbs before hurricane sandy, then I gained up to 127lbs (ugh) and now i'm guessing i'm in the low 120s. I only weigh in twice a month and my last check in was on the 15th at 123lbs. my first goal is to hit 115lbs and NOT IMMEDIATELY GAIN LIKE I…

If I already have makeup on, I won't go out of my way to take it off before going to the gym, but if I'm not wearing any I won't bother to put it on because I'll just sweat it off anyway. I know it's stupid and petty but I kind of HATE it when I see other girls there wearing tons of makeup and they have their hair all…

Hi everyone! I just found this group today but I've been pretty active this month and I basically participated without knowing I was participating! Basic info ... I'm 4'11, 24 years old, decided to lose weight summer 2010 when I hit my highest weight of 148lbs. By January 2012 I hit my first goal weight of 115lbs but I…

I know it's kind of late to comment on this, but I can relate. I live on the south shore of Long Island and things still aren't back to normal for me. The twelve pounds that I gained in the thirteen days without power? I've only lost four of them and it's been MONTHS. We evacuated for Irene and nothing happened, so we…

Why is a waste of time? When I use 7.5lbs dumb bells I feel a burn in my arms. I intend on eventually using something heavier, since a few weeks ago I could barely do it with the 5lbs. I don't think it would be wise for a newbie to just start with 20lbs or whatever. Wouldn't that be a recipe for a bad time?

hello little ladies! i'm 4'11, down from 148lbs to 123lbs! (i was 115lbs before hurricane sandy messed up NY). I am trying to get to 105-110. feel free to add me for support. i'm currently unemployed -____- and thus very active on here and at the gym!

Thanks for sharing. I started here at 148lbs and 4'11, eating only 1000-1200 calories a day. I did end up losing that way but I was miserable. I only started upping my calories during fall 2012 and it didn't really affect my weight loss but it did lead to better moods and better workouts. It's hard to tell because my…

4'11 also, woop woop. I started on MFP in spring/summer 2011 around 148lbs, eating 1000-1200 calories a day. It sucked and yes, I did lose some weight that was but I was miserable. I now net around 1300-1600 and I'm much happier and less exhausted. I'm about 125lbs now, though I was able to dip down to 115lbs a few times…

I'm 4'11 ... it's different down here.

behind the ear isn't bad at all. i have both sides done. after a few seconds you can resist the urge to smack the machine away like a it's a bug. in order of appearance on my body 1. zebra print garter on right thigh - february 2008 * i drew this one. picture on profile. 2. cartoon chicken in egg on left hip - august 2008…

is it too late to participate? I'm 4'11, 24 years old, and around 120lbs (down from 148lbs). I'm looking to lose another 10lbs or so and every time I get close to my goal, I fall off the wagon. I was 115lbs before Hurricane Sandy left me without fresh food, heat, electricity, gasoline, and safe places to exercise -- I…

I'm 120lbs/4'11. I've had people guess my weight correctly, and then other people think I'm much lighter than I am. Thankfully people don't say I look heavier!

4'11, currently around 120lbs down from my high weight of 148lbs. I was 115lbs right before Hurricane Sandy but I live in New York, and two weeks without power, heat, hot water, or fresh food made me put on a whopping 12lbs. Thankfully the storm weight is coming off quickly as I've already lost 7lbs in just a few weeks. My…
