So Close..
This isn't a completed transformation but I'm working towards it! Here's a little back story. Photos below. :) I've always had an issue with my weight going back to early childhood. Between the ages of baby and early toddler I refused to eat anything. It worried my mother so much so that in the end she went to my…
Cake Day
It's my cake day and I'm feeling fat and sassy... So here's a baby manatee.
HRM - Monitoring Burned Calories While At Work?
I work in retail and am on my feet 95% of my shift. Saturdays are obviously a busy day as well as an 11hr shift for me. I usually don't do a workout on this day. When I first got my HRM I used it to see how many calories I burned during my shift (3000+). I pause it when I have lunch, go on a small break or am sitting down…
GoodSports/Support Bras for Larger Chests?
I am both blessed and cursed (depending on which day it is :P) to have a larger chest and I'm looking for a good support/sports bra to keep these puppies from bouncing everywhere when I work out. I've looked around the net but can't seem to find a good one. The last website I went on didn't go past a DDD. -_- Anyone know…

Stepping Stones to My Success Story.
A few months back when I first started up with MFP I posted a topic along with photos of my weight loss, going from 256lb to 185. This is the thread if you want to check out the photos. --!> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/586347-so-close Shortly after that my feeble attempts fell by the wayside, I became less…
Ahhh!
So after my post about heart rate monitors the other day and a good amount of research, the Polar FT7 is in the mail and on it's way to me as we speak! An early birthday present from my wonderful mother! I should get it on Saturday. Unfortunately I'll be working so I won't get to play with my new toy until 10 that evening…
Heart Rate Monitors? Yes or No?
So after the on again - off again pattern I've fallen in to which this whole lifestyle change I'm trying to do, I've decided to look in to getting a heart rate monitor to help track my work out progress. The thing is, I don't know anything about them and before doing a little research I figured I would ask my fellow MFP's…
Sticking To Your Weight Loss Goals? A Little Q&A.
After a failed a number of attempts to tackle the last 40lbs I would love to lose, I have come to the realization that the goals that I had set for myself were far too high and were a little overwhelming, especially as I'm in the beginning of this lifestyle change. It's still kind of hard thinking of it as a lifestyle…
Quit Smoking, Snacking More. Anyone Have This Problem?
I quit smoking cold turkey on Sunday and now I find myself wanting to snack all the time. The last time I quit for two + years and I firmly believe that I substituted food for it which is how I gained the 100+lb (along with other lifestyle factors). I don't want to go down that route again. Any general advice or helpful…
Question for the men -- Male libido.
So I've been curious about this for quite some time. I'm sure most, if not all of you have heard at some point in your life that all men want sex, 24/7, it's all they ever think about. etc. etc. The reason I'm asking is because between the past two relationships I've had, it's kind of gone from one extreme to another. From…
Only One Pound - Very Inspiring. :)
Hello, do you know me? If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm Only One Pound, just a pound. Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds or fifteen pounds, but never only one, so I…
Completing my first Fun Run/Walk for Charity.
I've just recently gotten back in to the swing of things, fitness wise. Yesterday my friend asked me if I wanted to do a mini marathon with her and of course I jumped at the chance! It was this morning. It was a 5 mile run and walk for the awareness of MSA. We're both somewhat out of shape (me more so than her) so we power…
