I've lost 70+ pounds and now wear a 36DDD bra. I still have 30 pounds to go and hope to get down to a 34DD. I don't remember what I started at but I know I was wearing my bra too small because I didn't want to buy a bigger size! I run and do high impact aerobics and a great sports bra makes all the difference in the world.…

So happy you posted this. I was reading the comments and thinking the same thing. Most people have no idea what their frame size truely is. When I was heavy people would tell me ALL the time "oh, you're just big boned." No, actually I'm small boned. Anyway, I'm 5'11" and in high school I was 137. In college I was 145 and…

BUMP

I'm 5'11" and fluctuating around 180. I was 250 when I stopped weighing so I'm not sure how heavy I really got. I put on weight after 2 foot surgery's and stayed that way for almost 5 years until I just said enough is enough! I am small boned so my goal weight is 155 but really I feel comfortable anywhere in the 160's.…

I agree with some of the posts about petite women not needing as many calories or being on a restricted diet (but I thought this was for really overweight people). Almost all the women I am friends with on this site I met on a tall women post. Most are 5'8" and above. I am 5'11" and started on 1200 calories a day. I…

Sorry, I just saw this post tonight! I ran my 1/2 marathon last Saturday and loved it! I did really well until about mile 8.5 and started getting horrible stomach cramps! I still finished in under 3 hours which I am really happy about! I know I will do so much better next year!

I do the class at the gym and love it! I don't have enough room at home to work out. Plus, it's nice to be in class with other people.

You look great! I love before and after pictures!

^^^ This moment!

I have a large chest and use a compression bra. I like it really tight against me holding them up and in! :) Maybe the padding is so people can't see the nips when they get hard. (Can I say that on MFP?)

This made me laugh. I was always so worried about tripping over the step or falling off of it. I never worried about falling on my butt in combat but that's just what I did! I was sick about 3 days taking medicine and went back to class too soon. I fell in the middle of class and thankfully only hurt my ego and nothing…

That is great! I'm doing my first half next weekend (10th) and my only goal is to finish. I mean, secretly I would love to finish in under 3 hours but we will see! :) 3 hours and 4 minutes is awesome! I figure if I can do it, so can anyone else! Good job and good luck with your full training.

Holy Crap! You look like a different person with just 35lbs gone! Fantastic job girl!

I do Body Pump and Body Combat at Gold's Gym. I love both classes for different reasons. I've been running on the treadmill more lately because I'm running my 1st half marathon next weekend. As soon as I get back from that I will be starting back on the classes everyday!

This is just from my own experience but the sore feet will get better. The shin pain sounds like shin splints but that has more to do with stretching before and after your run. The bottom of my feet hurt so bad at first I wanted to give up. I did go from my Nike Free Run 2 shoe (minimalist) to the Asics Gel (more…

I just read all the comments and you all sound like my parents back in Beaumont. I am living in Amarillo and love the weather up here. We actually get 4 seasons with snow and all! I love the warm weather but hate the humidity back home. I love the cold weather and am so thankful each time it snows. Today it's beautiful…

This! Seriously, I had to do this. I used the excuse about my husband bringing junk food home or wanting to go out to eat all the time. Finally, I realized I don't have to eat the crap he brings home or get the worse thing on the menu just because we go out to eat. I started buying my own groceries and telling him not to…

We have very similar stats. 5'11" SW 250 MFPSW 208 CW 192 GW 155 I am small boned if that helps. I definately want to get my weight in the BMI normal range, which for 5'11" is 137-178. (I think!) .

Make sure your weight is on your heels, not on your toes. I use one all the time and this doesn't happen to me.

Hilarious!

Same here!

I bought some stuff from Kolh's, in store and online. One pair is see through but I just wear black underwear with them!

Seriously just thinking this at the gym tonight!~

My husband gets so frustrated with me and my MFPapp! I love it and am so addicted to this site! I just started 4 weeks ago this Saturday so I'm excited to weigh in this weekend and see how much I've lost in 4 weeks.

I'm 36 and 5'11". I was 250 at my heaviest. I'm almost down to 190 with a goal weight of 155. This is when I was 250. This is around 210 when I did a 12.5 trail run. This is around 200.

Love to see this post. I'm 5'11" and have lost about 60 pounds. I started at 250 and I'm down to 193 with a gwof 155. I haven't posted any before pics, I just don't like to look at them. I will try to post some within the next week. Feel free to add me if you want.

Best money I've ever spent! I had it done 5 years ago and it still amazes me each day.

I'm 36, 5'11" and started at 250. I got down to 208 on my own and then joined MFP. I'm now down 15 more pounds (but I only record my weight loss on Saturdays so it shows 12 pounds lost) so that puts me at 193 currently. My goal weight is 155 but I am very small boned so that number is not unrealistic for me. Feel free to…

I completely understand this. It doesn't matter what size I am I always think I'm fat. I can't seem to see myself thinner than anyone. My husband just does not get it. He will tell me you are so much smaller than that person. I am 5'11" and weighed 137 all through high school and I thought I was huge because all the other…

For now I've given up Dairy Queen Blizzards and my giant Starbucks peppermint mocha latte I absolutely love! I don't think I'm giving them up forever but for now. I know one day I will be able to indulge in my favorite things in moderation. I just want to do the best I can to get this weight off. I've bought sherbert and…
