I'm rather busty as well. I've researched sports bras before purchasing one. I found a wonderful bra. its ugly.. but it does the trick! Its an ENELL sportsbra and has like 20 clasps on it... no joke. Its highly recommend in many fitness magazines and its Oprah recommended too. It cost about $60. LOVE IT!! Its like duct…

Thank you everyone for all of your encouraging words! Diabetes is a very crappy and complicated disease. But we will get through it!! Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Hi dad. I hope you don't mind. I took it upon myself to create a profile for you. This is an absolutely WONDERFUL website. It is like Facebook for weightloss! I love you sooooo much and I want you to learn how to control your diabetes. You should still be able to enjoy your food. Hopefully you will get great advice and…

Congrats! nothing like your wedding to get you motivated! I'm getting married August 13, 2011. 7 MONTHS!!!! ahhhhhh. In addition to losing weight.... I am also losing my mind! haha!!! Good luck and welcome to our family! These people are the BEST!

How tall are you? How much do you weigh now?? Did you use the recommended settingings??? It think if youset your calories too low you can put your self into startvation mode. Don't worry.. you WILL see results. Its not going be instant. You'll see slow changes and slow losses... thats the HEALTHY way! Don't gie up yet...…

WOW! You are STRICT! Keep up the good work!

I am 5'1" as well and I'm SOOO glad you started this thread! Us shorties need to stick together! I wish every now and then I could just SSSSTTTRRREEETTCCCHHHH myself out a little. Then I would look even skinnier!! Starting weight..... 157. current weight 136 - also currently platued =( goal weight 120!! This is the worst…

HOw tall are you?? 104 is pretty low but depending on how tall you are...you could look very sick at the weight. 117lb weight. Maybe you don't need to lose weight, you just need to tone. Try incorporating some more strenth training into your workouts.... that might help alot! Good luck and congrats on accomplishing your…

WOW!! You are both doing so well! Keep up the good work!

Well something is better than nothing! I'm just glad I'm not gaining. I think I've hit a plateu. Since I've lost 21lbs.... My weightloss has tremendously SLOWED. SO with the advice of other MFPers.... I upped my calories. I was told my body has to adjust to taking in this new calorie amount ( I think I had put my self in…

Thanks everyone. My one friend had lost a lot of weight and seh mentioned to trade in the old clothes for new small ones during my weightloss. I gotta say the smaller clothes show off my hard work versus wearing the clothes that are too big. I can't see my hard work in the big clothes because they don't hung your body like…

haven't lost 1 GOD DAMN LB! oh well... I haven't gained either. I might not meet the 10lbs... but I am determined to lose something! grrr...

Ok got it!! Thanks for the possible gain warning. I'd probally freak out and go back to 1200 calories!! haha!! Thank you for your always wise words! I guess I had rather have 135 lbs of muscle on me than be 136 lbs of fat! Ok.. I'm going to keep doing my strength training and cardio! Thanks so much. 1200 callories to 1480…

So.. I should eat ALL of my exercise calories. Got it... Should I just aim for .5 lbs versus 1 lb then? .5lb is 1480 calories. If I do that.. you say I shouldn't just jump to 1480 though. Just increase slowly.. s0 increase to 1340 for 5-10 days then increase to 1480?? I should expect to gain a little just becuase my body…

I was reading other websites too and they were telling me to eat 1200 calories =( Well... i'm going to listen to MFP !

I see what you are saying! I have read this other places too. I guess I just didn't see 16lbs to go as being almost there.... I know.. I'm a loser haha!!

YOu look absolutely beautiful and HOT! congrats!

Thanks. I adjusted my goals to .5 lbs per week. You are right.. I did read that you should start preparing yourself to maintain. I was playing around and it said my caloric intake to maintain at 120 is like 1600 calories! I am so used to eating 1200 calories a day.. I think I would feel like I'm over eating! So I should…

thanks! I think I will try that! I think I would be happier just meeting a .5 -1lb loss a week than no pound loss! I'll try exercising more too! I just need to relax! I'm getting married in August and I'm ordering my dress soon and I'm just getting impatient. I 've got plenty of time.. I know.

I am on day 5! I've pretty much done it every day. I'm still on level one. I have been using 5 lbs weights but these are a little heavy for some of the exercises. My calves are cramping form all the jumping around but i can tell the difference already... I have more endurance. I want to do it every day but my work schedule…

Not to bad.. not too good =) haha! Lost like .2 so far. UGGG. the more you lose the the harder it is to lose. I have a small amount left to lose and its hanging on for dear life!! I've been staying under my calorie limit and doing the 30- day shred everyday. I'll weigh myself again on monday! We can do this!!!

I weighed in today: 136lbs! I didn't lose... but most importantly... IDIDN"T GAIN!!! It is not to late to join us!!! This is turning out to be one hell of a challenge!!! But I think having this challenge really did help me this week with Christmas. I had this challenge in the back of my mind the whole time. I ate a little…

I'm getting MArried Aug. 13, 2011! I live in Ohio. We are required to list our age, weight, height, eye/hair color on our drivers license. They don't actually weigh you so even if you are 200lbs...you can fill in 130lbs. they don't question it. obviously I know how much I really weigh.... So I just don't want to lie to…

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! Happy HOLIDAYS! Ok.... the Holiday food temptation is OFFICIALLY HERE!!! STAY STRONG! Enjoy yourselves! Don't feel guilty about eating those Christmas cookies.... just don't eat the WHOLE PLATE!!! I just got my 30 day shred in the mail. So excited! I did it today and it was tough but i lasted…

Boy... this is gonna be a challenge. I've come this far though. I CAN DO IT! Last night my fiance brought home chinese takeout to "surprise" me. Very thoughtful and very good...sadly. I was good and didn't eat the whole dinner =) even had a small bit of leftover today... soooo thats a great start to this 5 week challenge!…

We have to keep eachother motivated. Some tips: 1- Drink LOTS of water!!! 2- Its cold outside, exercising will warm us up!!! 3-"You live with the pain of discipline or the pain of regret." Exercise isn't always fun and you're not always psyched to go do it but many things you have to do on a weekly basis aren't fun. Who…
