Nina_Crowson- good mom

I was surprised about the hemmeroid cream. That could get expensive.

I'm 5'5 started at 205 and lost some before mfp. People noticed at about 20 lbs. Fell off the wagon at 40 lost gained 10 back and now I'm almost at what I was when I fell off. I'm hoping once I get back below that and beyond it may be noticed again. :)

You should be doing both. Strength training is just as important for losing weight and boosting metabolism as it is for 'toning' Per the following article from womens health magazine: Strength's edge: Lifting weights gives you a metabolic spike for an hour after a workout because your body is trying hard to help your…

I hope to quit by Christmas. Thanks for this post!

I did this all thru high school and beyond, until I got preggos at 20 and didn't care anymore. And it does work and help. I need to start doing it again now that I am losing. I am so scared I may need a 'real' tuck when I get down to goal (205 highest weight and 2 kids).

Amazing!! Congrats. I was thinking about trying phentermine again to give me a quick boost and I think you just inspired me not to. No magic pill needed.

Congrats. An amazing weight loss like that should definetly be shared!!

Cute post you look great and you are motivated to finish!!!!!!!

Oh and I also don't consider anyone on here to be experts least of all me and none of the rest of you should either (IVE READ SOME CRAZY STUFF ON HERE) . We give advice and opinions based on our own thoughts and assumptions and people should read this advice subjectively and use common sense. :happy:

sorry I was responding to this.

EVerybody needs to do what works for them. When I hit a funk I will look at making changes. Plateaus happen regardless and they mean you have to change things up. My doctor recommended this, it has worked for me, is safe and I feel great. I am still eating enough to be healthy at 1200 whether I exercise or not.

As long as you eat 1200 at least (as a woman) you don't have to eat them back unless you are exercising heavy.

EVerybody does it different. I saw a few who do similar to what I do. I always try to eat within about 50 of the recommended 1200. I use my exercise calories to create more deficit. So I net around 850 a day after my exercise calories come off my eating calories. My recommended calories to maintain my current weight is…

Pretty blue eyes :) sorry guess I was late....

I took phentermine and the weight loss was great for the first 3 weeks I think I lost like 14 lbs after that I barely lost so I figured feeling crappy and akward at work from the pill was definetly not worth having the same weight loss I could have on my own.

Scary thought. Glad you are better!

YES! Eating less on those days sucks too!! But I am going to behave ya'll convinced me. and I also need to make my way to the drug store and reup on the female vites. :)

I been doing 25 mins cardio and 25 strength I work different parts of the body everyday so I get a few days in between working that group again. I want to do this 6 days a week. And yes I will rest on Sundays, but can I do wii stretching to help with the fatigue? Also does anyone feel like they are just really irritable on…

Your body will look completely different after losing the same amount of weight if you add in exercise. Most people even say after exercising with weight loss they wear smaller clothes than they have before at the same weight. I notice a huge difference in my body when I exercise compared to not and I go up and down all…

BUMP I want to see more :)

You look great!!! 2 things- 1. You have a pretty smile wear it more, people tell me the same thing. 2. You have the most awesome bedroom I have ever seen in my life!!!! Do you work for HGTV or something? :laugh:

Cute post. :) Good job keep it up!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You inspire me. I saw your previous before and after a few months ago and to see you at goal gives me hope. I have given up a few times lucky I didn't gain back what I had lost so far but if I had only saw it thru I would have been at goal a year ago. This time no quitting for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! You…

Just outside of Austin here!!:happy:

Green monster breakfast protien shakes. You can't even taste it but get all the vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. My kids even love them!

After my third or fourth round of depo I started packing on lbs like crazy and TOM never went away. Definetly one of the worst birth control experiences I ever had. And at the time I was not overweight (ages ago). I advise everyone against it. I've had non hormone iud for 6 years now and don't even think about it, no…
