So I just went to the website, and saw this: ■How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends) ■How to increase fat-loss 300% with a few bags of ice ■How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time ■How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested…

Congratulations! As a former size 22, I totally know what you mean! I almost wish the tag with the size was on the outside! :laugh: @dhiammarath - I totally know what you mean about size variances! I have jeans that all fit about the same, some from the same label at sizes that vary from a 4 (Levi's and Merona, Old Navy),…

I am 5' 3", and was 239 lbs when I started August 2011. I wore a 20/22 in bottoms and XL/1X top in tops. As of this morning, I am 1.9 lbs away from my goal. CW is 136.9, and I am wearing 4/6 in bottoms, and a M in tops. Heck... even my shoes are loose! :laugh: Mother's Day Dress Shopping is much more fun!

All I can say is I am so envious! I started out 3 lbs. lighter than you, but I am a whole 4 inches shorter, and 23 years older! Oh how I wish that I had incorporated the habits of portion control and exercise into my life when I was your age! Keep up the good work! You not only look beautiful, but so happy! Congratulations!

Your story is amazing! Congratulations and may you enjoy continued health and mobility! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: You should be incredibly proud!!! It would have been really easy to bail, but you didn't! And to cross the finish line with your son... that just makes me SMILE!:happy:

For someone who is a "competitive athlete", you should be more aware of how important good nutrition is and how it can affect your training and performance. It is clear that you need guidance, and I hope that you will seek counseling to get the help you need! BTW... You are gaining because you are starving yourself!

That has happened to me quite a bit... and I would get annoyed when someone said that they didn't recorgnize me. Afterall, I didn't think that I looked "THAT" different. :noway: Then one night, my husband and I were at a dinner, and he turned to me and said, "So did you see Doug? He's lost a lot of weight as well...", and…

That is FANTABULOUS!:flowerforyou:

My "curves" were more like one big round "curve" before: And now over 100lbs later... These jeans are a size 6, but I just bought a pair size 4! Dress Shopping! It's so much more fun now! (p.s. excuse the pink socks and no make-up... went shopping after the Breast Cancer Walk) *Edit to attempt to resize

Wow... a lot of you people stopped trick-or-treating really young! I trick-or-treated until my senior year in High School! I was 17! Could finally drive to the rich neighborhoods and get the GOOD candy! :laugh: Dressed up as a tap dancing chicken! I don't mind older kids trick-or-treating, as long as they are dressed in…

^ You took the words right out of my mouth! :wink: A year ago August, I started logging, not worried about hitting a calorie target, but I wanted to see when and what I was eating, so that I could be aware! As I realized how many calories some things were, I started making small and seemingly insignificant changes. After a…

I too have been using the BodyMedia Fit for the last year! I started using MFP on August 1, and have logged every single day, but was not convinced that my exercise calories earned as acurate! I got the BodyMedia at the end of October, and had lost 22lbs., and once I started using it, I used to adjust my daily calorie…

That's what I've been doing the last 14 months, and I think I've done okay! :wink:
-
Thanks!! btw... I use a BodyMedia Fit Armband, and my calories burned have dropped significantly from when I was over 200lbs. I used to easily burn 590-610, and now that I am sooo much lighter, and my body doesn't have to work as hard, I burn between 430-500 in a 1 hour class.

I attended my first Zumba Class on October 15th, 2011. I was down about 20lbs. when I started and went 2x a week, by the end of November, I was going 3x a week, and by January I joined 24 Hour Fitness so I could go all the time and save money! I now go 4-6 times a week, and am registered to get Certification on November…

That is AWESOME!!! Congrats!

That is AWESOME!!! I got excited when I was able to run 1/2 mile without stopping, so being able to run 3.2 is AMAZING!!!

We have 3 chickens... our sons "rescued" them as tiny little chicks and now we get 3 eggs a day. Our chickens do not make noise and our backyard does not stink... otherwise, I would have made them get rid of them loooong ago, but I have heard of people saying that their chickens can be noisy. Also... our chickens totally…

Wow! I am overwhelmed by the # of responses! Thanks to ALL for your compliments, advice, and suggestions! I really do appreciate it! When I went to the store, I went with the sole purpose of trying on the sparkly one, but when I saw the black one I thought that my husband might prefer it. The back of the sparkly one is…

I use the BodyMedia Fit as well, and have been since late October of last year. My experience has been that as long as you are burning more than your are consuming, the weight will come off. It has to... it's math/physics/science/etc, etc.. It may not come off when you expect that it will, because our body composition…
