NSV - Bridesmaid's Dress
My sister is getting married and the day we went to try on bridesmaids dresses I was crushed. I didnt realize how big I was until then. I was the biggest of all the girls and I became really sad in that dressing room. I ended up ordering a size 16 in the hopes to lose a little weight and fit into it. Eventhough they highly…

Before/During (Halfway Point) Progress Pic
As I recently made it to my halfway point, I decided to do a before/during comparison pic as I couldn't really see it in the mirror. It is so true that putting two pictures side-by-side really shows you how far you have come. I think this has given me the little push I needed to continue on this journey. Thank you all for…

Calorie Change During Vacation?
Has anyone tried changing their calories deficit for vacation? I am going home, to NY, for three weeks. Moms cooking is going to be hard to resist. Right now I'm at 1200 calories, which is 1.6 lbs per week. I was thinking of switching to the 1/2 pound loss setting for those 3 weeks. Has anyone done this before and still…

Is my goal weight too high?
I was reading another thread and it seems like other women around my height have much lower goal weights than me. I am 34 years old, 5'2.5'' My start weight was 185lbs and as of today I am 166.6lbs. My goal weight is 145, which is lower than I ever been my entire adult life. I thought getting to 145 was going to be…

Should I stop or reduce heavy lifting until I'm at goal?
I have been losing weight steadily for about 6 weeks. I went from 184 to 169 in that time, but after getting my body fat percentage checked I found out that I was losing muscle. This past week I started lifting heavy to try to fix that issue and I have gained half a pound. My main priority is to lose weight. Should I stop…

Am i losing muscle?
I asked the trainer to do my measurements so I can see my progress. I have lost 13 lbs and I lost inches but body fat percentage barely moved. She was a little confused and said it was probably just water weight I lost. 13 lbs of water weight?? The she said that I need to up my weight training as I must be losing muscle. I…

When Will I Start Seeing A Difference?
I have been dieting/excercising for 5 weeks now and, as of today, I have lost 12.6 lbs. When am I supposed to start seeing a difference in my body? I feel like I look the same and my clothes are still fitting the same (though I usually only wear elastic pants, like yoga pants and tank tops). I thought after at least 10…

Why Are My Weigh-In Day Numbers Never Good??
For some reason, every time I have dieted I always show a better weight loss the day after my weigh-in day. I wonder why. Maybe I put too much pressure on myself for weigh-in day? Yesterday was my weigh-in day and I showed a weight loss of .2 lbs. Today I get on the scale and I am down an additional .6 lbs (total .8 lbs…

Help! I already ruined my day!
I made the grave mistake of taking my son to IHOP. I didnt make the best choices and not only do I feel sick to my stomach but I ate most of my calories for the day. I only have 469 calories remaining for the rest of the day and it's only 10:30am! To top it all off I misplaced the keys to my time machine. What do I do?

Is there a good scale that won't break the bank?
I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself every day, but I do. It keeps me motivated. My problem is that I think my scale sucks. I can step on it three times in a row and get three different numbers. Also, if I move it to a different spot i'll get a different number. Are all scales like this? Please let me know if there are…
