I'm 34, and have 52 lbs to lose. This is my 2nd time on my fitness pal, the first time I lost 30lbs and plan on doing that again and some. I am extremely honest with myself, far from perfect and will not always meet my calorie goal HOWEVER I am in it for the long haul this time and I'm going to do it. I am not in a race I…

Hi, I'm Natalie. I have been off my fitness pal for over a year and I am back, trying to lose about 52 pounds. I really don't care how long it takes but I am hoping to lose most of it this year. I lost around 30 lbs last time I was on my fitness pal but after I quit I sort of started to gain back all the weight until I was…

WHATEVER! HEALTHY BMI DOESN'T = HEALTHY ALL THE TIME. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION & WE SHOULDN'T TOLERATE IT. ITS A SLIPPERY SLOPE. WHAT IS NEXT????

IF THIS IS TRUE, I SMELL A LAWSUIT COMING ON! STUPID!

YOU LOOK FANTASTIC, BLOWING ALL MY LAME EXCUSES OUT OF THE WATER. THANKS! :)

Smoking speeds up your heart rate and when you quit your metabolism slows down, my doctor told me. However, when I started smoking 7 years ago (have no idea why) I gained all this weight, so smoking hurt my metabolism and my exercising. I quit 5 months ago and I have lost about 27 pounds since then. I used an electronic…

Amazing, you look beautiful!

great work everyone, wow!!!!!

great!

Vanilla coconut milk instead of creamer for coffee, haven't tried the almond but I hear that is great as well. For salad dressing, I use olive oil, dijon mustard, salt and pepper (its awesome). Nonfat greek yogurt with pure honey on top....its like dessert! My thought on subs is that many low calorie, low fat options are…

10! You are stunning Brittney and we are all 10s by the way!

great job!!!!!

By the way, looked at your photos and you look great! I think maybe you are beating yourself up for no reason. Just my thoughts anyways, I know that we never see ourselves as skinny or perfect or like we WANT but, if you look like the photos you posted I would not call you over weight!!!!!!

Don't give up!!! I do think you need to see a specialist though. Someone said you ruined your metabolism, and maybe that is the case, maybe its a thyroid issue and its something you needs meds for. Whatever you do though, don't give up just try something different. You are worth it!!!!!

peanut butter, peanut butter, love the real deal!!!!!

bump!

bump!

No. I think whatever makes people happy is OK. If you want to weigh 110 pounds and you are 5"7, be my guest and have fun doing it, hee hee. I was 120 once upon a time and I'm 5"7, people constantly told me to eat something and that I looked too skinny, but honestly I go back and look at those photos and I think I looked…

That has got to be hard, but if you love each other it will work. I also did he long distance thing and now I am married to the man, although I have tried it in the past and it hasn't always worked out, so I guess it depends on how you both feel. You said he might be the one, does he feel the same? I ask, because if you…

I quit smoking 3 months ago, love that I can run now when I could barely walk up my driveway without being winded. So worth it! My husband and I quit the same time so that made it easier and slightly painful during the first week because we were so short with each other. I used/use an electronic cigerette called the…

Beautiful :). I know I feel the same way, so excited to start trying on summer dresses, tank tops, etc...when ususally I dread summer because I can't hide behind my sweaters anymore. Good work!

I couldn't agree more with people's frustration at others when they tell you they think you look fine and you know you have a ways to go. However, on the flip side of that, I try to take comments like that as compliments as well, people get used to seeing you as heavy then you aren't as heavy and they think WOW! But, I…

I was a slightly chunky kid even though I played every sport known to man, and although I was always in a healthly weight range growing up, I never had a flat, perfect stomach which is a life long struggle. Its the first place I gain and the last to lose. I never understood how those girls in middle school and high school…

I like a muscled guy, yep, they are nice to look at but I wouldn't trade my tall thin cross country running husband for anything, but I can check them out from time to time, mainly because I appreciate how much they sacrifice to look that good!

Great job!!!!

You have such a pretty face the red draws attention to your hair and not your pretty features, but if you like it that is what matters. Just thought i could answer that one :)

COWGIRL TUFF!!!! THE BEST JEANS EVER, RUNS ABOUT $60-$120 BUCKS BUT MAKES YOU BUTT LOOK LIKE A MILLION :)

Sounds like a really fun workout schedule actually :)!!!! I also have trouble with my belly, I gain my weight there and its awful! My trainer told me a six pack is made in the kitchen. She means watch your diet, lower your salt intake, drink lots of water! 112 pounds is not fat so I think you shouldn't try to lose weight…

What I have done that has worked: 1) water, water, water and more water 2) no soda, not even diet 3) go to the gym 5-6 days a week, even if you only have time for 20 minutes 4) no excuses, EVER! Just keep pushing yourself, losing weight is not a sprint, its a marathon, NEVER GIVE up on yourself 5) log everything and if you…
