I am sorry, I don't have a pic, but I can tell you a bit about mine. I had a C-sect in Dec 2010 with my son. 1 week after, I split several stitches. I have a little "fat roll"- as I call it- right above the suture site, and then it puckers where the stitches split. I fear it will never go away. . . but in the grand scheme…

Maybe that is the best plan. . . piss me off so much that I work out that much harder! LOL :)

Just be glad you caught yourself after only a 10 pound gain! Get back on the wagon, you can do it!

In my experience, it "DOESN'T Work". None of those fly by night products do!

Mine are gross! The only things that have made a dent for me is 30 Day Shred, and tricep dips (on the couch, etc). They seem to show the most amount of definition in the least amount of time. Good luck!

You can add me! I love to drink :) I don't smoke, but I definitely have to account for all the calories I drink up every weekend!

I hope it is ok that I am posting. . . I am no longer in the 200s, but I WAS for 3 years. I have slowly been working my way down to where I am now for 2 years. I would love to help, and I ALWAYS continue to need motivation myself! Holly- 27 yrs old SW: 230 lbs CW: 168 lbs GW: 140 lbs

I am in the same boat. I went ahead and ran yesterday, and plan on it today as well. I have a terrible sore throat and head cold!

I was confused as well. Everyone on MFP said I needed to eat my exercise calories (which puts me at around 1500 cals a day) to lose weight. That seemed odd to me since less calories= more calorie deficit. So, I asked my Dr. And she said to alternate. Eat 1500 one week, and 1200 the next. She explained that will keep my…

Yes. I my first 50 lbs with Atkins. BUT, you are not advised to start working out until a month (or more) into the program. Low carb= low energy. It does work, but you really have to stick to it, and not cheat often!

I have lost 60 lbs, slowly, and have no excess skin. Best of luck to you!

They do not work.

I am wondering if that is what caused my tendonitis. I bought new shoes, with arch support right before thanksgiving. They felt GREAT until I got tendonitis.!!

Sports Med Dr, and my D.O., both said to give it a month, and if it is still hurting to come in and do xrays. Both agreed I could try PT and taping (which I started on Monday). Hopefully it will slowly start getting better. I am now only running 3 days a week, rather than 6. If it isn't any better in a week, I will take…

What I am willing to give up: Excessive "naughty" foods, 30 min of relaxation a day to run, my old fat pants. What I am not willing to give up: Booze

I had gained 2 also! But after getting back on track this week, and upping my water intake, those two are thankfully, gone!

At 230 lbs, my ring size was a 7. Now, 60 lbs lighter, it is a 5

Pay it fwd right! I know every surgery they give you a mile long list of possible complications. My husband doesn't want me to do it, bc of some of the risks.... but I just want to know what I am getting into before I make the leap :)

I have heard great things about swimming. . .although I don't have access to a pool!

Well, because I have yo-yo'ed my whole life, I pretty much know what I would look like at every weight, LOL. I liked the way I looked the most between 145-150. That is my goal :)

Make smaller goals!! My goals range from 1) make sure you drink at least 64 oz of water a day, 2) Leave a small portion on your plate with each meal (can save up to 200 cal per meal!), 3) When I lose another 10 lbs and reach 160- I am going to purchase myself a nice pair of riding boots~

I am going to pretend like 5'8" is tall :) Neck: 12 Waist: 33 Bust: 38 Hips: 42

I am new to running, but I find myself addicted! My 30 min run is bliss to me. I get to not worry about work, my kid, my job, my life for 30 min, 6 days a week. Alone time is hard to come by for me. . . so I have come to look forward to my runs :)

Thank you! I was eating the 1200, because that is what MFP told me to eat!! Why does eating more calories help you lose?

I do it first thing in the morning, every morning. I know they say to only weigh once a week, but it is a motivation thing for me. If I wake up and the scale has inched up, I am extra motivated for that day. PS- I am a crazy person apparently lol :)

Good for you!

You can add me on here if you would like. I am new and not sure how to do that yet!

I am a drinker myself. Work out on your lunch, when you have "me time." Switch to vodka and crystal light :)

Tanning: fat looks SO much better tan :)
