Concerned about HR when running.
Hey y'all, I'm a 5'7 ish lady, roughly 190lbs and 20 years old. Two years ago I lost about 100lbs with this app and got down to the 140lb range through a healthy diet and running. This year I began having rough daily panic attacks and gained about 60lbs in 3 months. My panic attacks surround a fear of having a heart attack…

Started spinning, and people won't stop complimenting my legs!
Hey, I'm Natalie, I've lost nearly 80 lbs. using MFP and I'm a 5'7.5" nineteen year old student from Indiana :smiley: 220 down to 140! So, I am a runner, and I have been for a while now. Went from long, slow runs (8+ miles!) over the summer, to shorter, quicker runs (3-5 miles) after school started back up. For a while, my…

Advice on Starting Lifting? Weird issues.
Hey! I'm 19, 5'8 or so, maybe a little shorter, and I don't know how to start lifting, or even if I want to yet. I run about 25-30 miles a week, this is my main exercise and I LOVE it. It is my favorite hobby I've ever had, and relaxes me immensely. I workout 5-6 days a week, and 2 of them I row on a stationary rower for…

Bought a swimsuit!
I'm aware that I'm still too fat for this swimsuit, I'll be the first to admit it! But, after losing 90 lbs and completing my first 10 mile run yesterday, and hitting what was my original "ultimate" goal weight (150 lbs!) I decided to but it. My BMI is 22.8, I have another 20-30 lbs to lose, but screw it, I deserve a cute…

Hitting a plateau or no longer losing?
Hello guys, I've been using MFP for about 9 months now and I've lost more than 50 lbs, with a pretty consistent loss of 2 lbs per week for the past 3 or so months. I've gone from 220 to 161 no problem, no questions, with minimal fluctuations during the week if I weigh early. Maybe 1-2 lbs tops. So last Saturday after…

Lost another 10 lbs...progress pic looks worse than before? 19/f/5'8
Aside from in my thighs, I actually look bigger now? I know I've lost an inch and a half off my waist but it just makes my belly look even bigger than before. My gut is the same size it was 50 lbs ago, just smoother...at least I'm down to a size 8 now so finding clothing is ridiculously easy. I'm still proud of my progress…

Progress Pics 5'8 female (25ish lbs)
I compared two of my gym selfies today, one from December and one from yesterday. This is maybe a 20 to 25 lb difference, I'd already lost some weight in the first (maybe 15 lbs?) and thought I looked great... It really takes pictures for me to realize I've changed at all. December (200? lbs): Yesterday (180ish): my calves…

PSA for Women: Weight loss can make your boobs BIGGER.
I'm 19 years old and 5'8 and I just wanted to say that when I started losing weight (220lbs) I wore a bra size of roughly 38C mayyybe 40B. After losing 40 lbs I wear a 34DD and they sit up higher on my chest than they used to. For a moment my boobs shrank to nearly non existent levels around a 38B, but once my ribcage…

Lost 7 inches off chest since mid-December
Quick question: does anyone else's body seem to target one area to lose a ton of weight on, before moving to another? For me, my face slimmed down drastically by the time I lost 10 lbs. Then it was my thighs. And now it seems my chest has decided to join them. I've lost 3 inches off my thighs since October, 7 off my lower…

First Body Progress Pics (26 lbs) 5'8" 19/f
So I'm 26 pounds into a 55 pound goal, and I have yet to post body progress pics, mainly in part because I didn't take great before pictures and therefore can't really tell much of a difference. But I decided it's time, because I'm 8 pounds from what I weighed at 14 and that's shocking. It took about 4 months total, but…

Face Progress About 25-30 pounds (19 year old Female)
Here's a picture of me from maybe July or August and one of me now, about 25 or so pounds down! Started around 225, now just hit 199 :) I think I see a bit of a difference maybe. Also I'm in better lighting, but you know how it is, I used to hate pictures. This is kind of just a pat on the back post, because I'm realizing…

42 lbs lost- Unknowingly!
Here's the story. I started MFP in late September after going vegan, at a weight of around 220 lbs. Yesterday I weighed in at 201. This here is news, I've never lost 20 pounds before in my entire life. This morning I found an old doctor's order for a blood test from April. I didn't know it had my weight on it when I got it…

Starting Over
Hey, I'm Natalie and I'm 18. I'm looking for some friends to help motivate me. I recently started back with this website after about a month off to get my vegan diet closer to being 100% cruelty free. I'm nearly there, down to cutting out the last few foods. Anyways, ultimately I'm hoping to lose another 40-50 pounds off…
