my first before and during pic :)
I am now 30 pounds down. The left pic was taken last year in June 2011, at around 240 ( my highest weight was 245 in December 2011) The right one in the orange dress was taken last week at 215 :) I don't see a huge difference but I feel like a completely different person!!

bruises out of nowhere?
Hi all! So I've been going to the gym almost every day for about 2 months now. now keep in mind that I went from no exercise whatsoever to gym everyday.

is 1200 really healthy??
So I just adjusted my settings in MFP from lightly active lifestyle to sedentary. I put lightly active because I workout 45 min to an hour everyday, but then realized that outside of my workouts, I was mainly sedentary. So here I am now at 1200 calories per day. I'm 5"3 and 225 lbs. My settings are on losing 2 lbs a week…

confused about carbs
Hello everyone! Si I've been trying really hard to not go over my carbs. To do that, I have been cutting down on snacks (i used to LOVE toasts for snacks) and replacing them with fruit. My problem is, carbs are still high in fruits. Do carbs in fruits "count" as much as carbs in bread or rice? I'm really confused, and kind…

a small victory, but a big one for me!
Before I start, I should probably explain my background a little bit. I've been overweight since I was 6 years old. A dietetician declared me morbidely obese when I turned 20. I was 222 pounds for 5"3'. I never looked or felt morbidely obese, whatever that means...the joys of the BMI right! I grew up in France. When I…
