51 lbs down and my "goal" LBD FITS!
I started this journey October 1st 2013 (7 and a half months ago) with a goal of losing 70lbs so I still have 19lbs to go and clearly a whole bunch of toning before during and after that - but I am feeling brave enough to post some photos today since I bought a LBD when I started this journey that seemed like an insane…

"Loose" skin question...
So I am about 50lbs down since October with 20 more to go, and while my skin isn't hanging dramatically like some people that have lost hundreds of pounds I have noticed it is a little saggy on my stomach and arms. Is there some exercise I can do to help snap it back into place or is this just a "it will take time" kind of…

Any ladies tried the VS sports bras?
So I noticed Victorias Secret has a whole sports bra line that I didn't know about... has anyone tried them out, and do they work for running/impact exercising? I have champion sports bras at the moment, and while not bad - after an hour of running, ouch! Thanks in advance for any reviews/suggestions!

45lbs down, 5 1/2 months in - fat rolls photos included! LoL
Ok so clearly I still have a good 25lbs to go and a bunch of toning before during and after that - but I am finally feeling brave enough to post some photos. Forgive the hideous photos, but I figure - what's the point in posting them if I am going to suck in my gut and hide the flaws right?! I'm not going to get into my…

Running/Gym shoe recommendations
Hey everyone - So for my 40lb weightloss mini goal I promised myself a good pair of gym/running shoes. I have made it work thus far in some cheap sneakers from Target but it is time for an upgrade since I really am sticking this out! I don't run outside - but I do hike/speed walk on the mountain roads around our house,…

100 days in...
Well I've officially been on MFP for 100 days (no skipping!) and it has been an amazing journey so far! I don't have pictures to share YET, but hopefully in another 100 days I will! I am almost half way to my 69.5lb goal - and no way when I began in October did I think that a few months and over the holidays especially…

Hippo syndrome... aka I feel like a Hippo today!
Okay so it isn't quite that bad, but close. I have lost my first 21/22lbs which is a good start - I am eating what I want to but portion controlling / counting my calories every day. I have logged in for over 50 day and not missed a meal or drink on here yet. I am working out 5 days a week for 30 mins, making myself get up…

Elliptical trainer vs MFP calories
Okay so this is probably a difficult question to answer, but I figure I'd ask anyway - When I use my SOLE E35 elliptical trainer for let's say 15 mins it tells me I burned 91 calories based on presumably how fast I went, the incline, my heart rate and level I had set and distance travelled. When I enter 15 mins of…

Private practice - shouldn't they all be fat?!
So this is random, but I've been stuck at home sick the past couple of days and I've been watching private practice... anyone else watch it and notice all these super slim doctors scoffing down cupcakes, cakes, donuts and other junk 24/7?! Evil!!! LOL. Okay - mini rant over - off to cook my veggies... hahaha

T25 for cheap?
Is there a good place to get T25 without spending a car payment?! LOL I know... it is probably worth the investment but tbh I am just too broke for the price tag. If no "deals" are to be had, does anyone know of a similar product that is more affordable and equally beneficial? (Don't say "the gym" - I live a zillion miles…

To fitbit or not to fitbit?
Anyone had any experience with any FitBit products? I am looking into the wristbands they offer and would love to hear some pros and cons before pulling the trigger. Thanks! :bigsmile:

Your biggest challenge daily?
For me, It's My Coworkers. They All Mean Well... But My Desk Is Located Centrally In The Office And Despite The Weight I've already Lost, Every Single Day Someone Brings In Some Sort Of "Treat" To Leave At My Desk. Cookies, Cupcakes, Donuts, Bread, Chips And Dip... You Get The Idea!! The Past Two Days Have Been A Whole…

Potentially dumb question by a weights newbie...
I have been doing a 30 min cardio/strength workout dvd 5 days a week for the past three weeks. After not working out in a looooong time the first couple of weeks even no weights/resistance was making me want to die. (Yeah, sad... I know!) However I have now mastered it and started to encorporate light weights this week. My…

Anyone else miss drinking??!!!
:drinker: Anyone else wish that alcohol was as calorie free as water?! LOL I am 4 weeks in, have lost about 14lbs (Didn't start this until after I started losing weight, then realized I needed a way to keep honest track daily). I am on a 1200 calorie diet and doing "the hollywood workout" 5 days a week. It sucks mainly…

This might be awkward... workout bra help?!?!
Okay so ladies - lets be honest here, if you are blessed up top you know exactly what I am talking about when I say F*@% that HURTS when you jump rope, run, etc. without some serious help to keep your girls from bouncing. I'm like a 36DD right now and I can't handle one more aerobics class without a better solution than…
