  • It's like you're calling my name. About two years ago, I was ~200-215 or so lbs (refused to get weighed, I just told them 200). I had intermittent sharp pelvic pains. I skipped a period. I took several home pregnancy tests, all negative, and after another week with no bleeding made an appointment with my GP. Ran basic…
  • It took about 20 lbs. After 20 everyone at work commented on how good I looked... and I still have plenty to go.
  • Absolutely ask your doctor. If you're on these meds, it's to keep you from going in to SVT again and things like exercise could, feasibly, trigger that.
  • A friend of ours came to visit for a weekend, and I saw what he ate: all organic things, soft boiled eggs, etc., and he brought it all with him in a cooler. Anywhere we went that wasn't a real sit down restaurant, he brought his own food. He was certain of -exactly- went in to his body at all times. It occurred to me that…
  • Around 205(est) I did a proper bra sizing. I'd been wearing 36C, I was 38D. Even 10 lbs later, 195ish the D cup was too baggy but the band size is (apparently) the same. I've decided I just flat refuse to buy new bras until I'm closer to my goal, bras are EXPENSIVE! I bought a 3-pack of walmart sports bras. Between that…
  • Check my food diary, I almost never go over (unless it's planned) and I believe I have a public diary. I love high fiber oatmeal, granola bars, yogurt, Kashi cereal, etc..
  • I've been working out for at least a month, mostly cardio, moderate strength training, and I just attempted day 1 of 30ds. I had to stop during the first squat-arms-up thing (whatever it's called)! I jumped back in after a few minutes of staring at the screen in disbelief. I know it's supposed to be hard, but hot-damn, it…
  • I was (barely) in a 16 at 213, barely in a 14 at 198, but easily in the 14s at 190. Your first few pounds of weight loss are usually fluid/water, so that's not going to be a great deal of butt size change.
  • 24, started at (to my knowledge, given there was a long period I did not set foot on a scale) 213. MFP at 203.5, present 189. Goal - 140, and see from there if lower will look good, or emaciated. In my head, I'd love to be a size 6. We'll see.
  • Do anything, it all counts. Walk, join a kickball league, anything. You don't have to be a gym rat to be healthy. Local zumba classes, swimming, long walks on the beach, whatever works. At our age, saggy skin is less likely,we have a lot of elasticity to 'bounce back' but sagging frequently comes from losing weight too…
  • Granola bars (fiberone? special K? low calorie, both these makers have ~90. Chocolate is always a good answer, at least for me!) Yogurt, lite or no-fat, I eat Carbmaster from Kroger. 60 calories apiece. Normal cup size. Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal is a great addition for a little something extra while keeping it healthy.…
  • I don't think there's a set number. I work 12 hour shifts as an RN, and I can eat a similar calorie load, just spread it out a little more. For example, at home I might eat a breakfast meal consisting of fruit and eggs around 3-400 calories, but if I'm working 12 hours, I would eat a banana in the car enroute, and yogurt…
