The dress is my favorite also with the boots, looked very hot with the jacket.

This was going to be my suggestion. I was busting out of a 42DD when I started, 37 lbs later and I'm now a 38DD. Even though my cup size hasn't changed there is a huge noticeable difference in my chest area and the girls are much more manageable now. When I 1st started I could not find a Sports Bra that held them in place…

38.2lbs since July 2011.

Ezekial Bread, all natural, high in protein and low in sodium. This is also what my trainer suggests. Prior to switching to Ezekial I used Sara Lee 45 & Delightful Whole Grain.

Great job!

Thanks ladies :)

I agree with those that say listen to your trainer. Yes you are paying him, but if you knew what to do to get in shape you wouldn't have hired him. I hate some of the exercises my PT has me do, my biggest "trouble spot" is my abs, and the only core exercise he has me do is planks. This is to strengthen my core and not…

If your doing straight cardio you want to shoot for between 80-90%, 85% would be optimum. I only do straight cardio 1x a week and strive to be at that HRM for at least 20 mins of my work out. On my other cardio day I do Interval trainging.

I am a bit repulsed by the idea of people going commando while working out. Yes I where panties when I work out, whatever I have worn to work that day. Generally they're cotton bikini's, but I've been known to toss on the occasional granny pantie depending on what's clean. Thongs are another definite no no for me while…

You were beautiful before, and now you look amazing! Congrats on your success!

When you quote you should scroll to the end of the post and put your comment after the last "quote" makes it much easier to read what you're trying to say. Just a friendly tip. I don't pay enough attention to know if you're annoying or not. This thread has given me a pretty good idea that you are definitely an attention…

Taken it twice with success both times, biggest problem for me was when I stopped taking it I had not learned how to control my eating and went right back to over indulging. Needless to say I put the weight back on quickly. I also had HORRIBLE headaches the 2nd time around. IMO, old fashioned "dieting and exercise"…

I generally burn more then that, but I'm also pretty big. Also I have noticed, the machine read out is much lower then my HRM read out and when I just do Cardio on the Elliptical my burn is less then if I do interval training.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this! I've been there. To those asking why you didn't stop him or he wasn't on antidepressants, you've obviously never dealt personally with an alcoholic before. Even though their behavior says otherwise, they are adults and can not be controlled. If an alcoholic is set on getting drunk…

My most hated sound is mouth noises, smacking, gulping, teeth grinding, any and all of them get on my last nerve. My most favorite sound is my kids laughter.

Loved this episode! I thought he did a great job as the beast.

Not sure about tonight, but last night we had a variation of Chicken Parmesan. Super simple and healthy. Cook Chicken breast in a skillet with just enough cooking spray to keep them from sticking. Once they are cooked through add your choice of spaghetti sauce, I use Prego Heart Smart and add a bit of garlic, Onion Powder…

Amazing!

I eat back most if not all of my exercise calories on most days. I try to ensure that I NET at least 1200 calories daily. My intake is set at 1800 and on average I NET about 1500 calories daily. It is important to be sure that you are eating enough to fuel your body and for most people a low intake of 1200 is not enough.…

Without being able to see your diary or knowing what your daily intake is it's hard to offer advice.

I'm a mom of 2 daughters and have lost almost 37 pounds since joining MFP in July. Thankfully my kids aren't babies any longer, they are 12 & 6, so I'm able to get some me time to hit the gym and focus on my weight loss. Feel free to add me, I also moderate a fitness group on FB that I'd be happy to talk to you about if…

My husband who let his alarm continue to beep at 5am this morning because he couldn't figure out how to hit snooze *SMACK*

I was referring more to ladies under 5' when I said small. I also work a desk job and figure my BMR as sedentary since I eat back my exercise calories.

You may want to have another talk with your trainer. 1200 calories a day is low, esp if you're doing intensive workouts. I have yet to meet a trainer that recommends a low calorie diet. Mine is constantly on me to up my calories and my goals are set to 1800 a day. You are right that everyone is different, but we all need…

We actually met through a mutual friend at her apartment, about a week later we ran into each other at a bar and started talking. That was 8 years ago and we've been together ever since.

I kept thinking as I was reading through this thread that I needed to quote the poster, but I would have ended up quoting most of the posts. I've been accused of being stuck up and stand offish. I'm really not either of these, I just do not feel comfortable around people I don't know well or in large crowds. I have 3 women…

I have 4, and plan on getting a back tat once I reach my goal weight and will be getting a partial sleeve at some point also.

It's a split for me, I'm part of a group on FB that spun off of here that I spend a lot of time on, but by far my fitness groups is where I spend 90% of my online time at.

My trainer recommends this and since I work out in the late afternoon, I generally have dinner within that time frame after working out.
