because you can’t have your special kibble or because you think you still look too fat in a bathing suit

Well I think that quote made a lot more sense in context. The kibble bit just makes me think off kitties. :D

.....I've still got a pair of size 16 jeans...I'm a size 12 now. O.o But I still wear them, with a belt :P, when I'm having a "fat" day. And I usually wear them with a hoodie. ..

Don't do that to yourself.  You deserve clothing that make you look good and feel great.  I know from experience that wearing big baggy clothing makes you look and feel crappy.  If you give in to that urge to slip on "fat cloths" in the morning, those fat cloths will weigh you down all day.  Dump them so you are not tempted.

Sometimes I actually love wearing my less... attractive clothes. If you always put a lot of effort into your appearance, sometimes you might want to take a day off from caring so much. Last week I decided I was tired of trying so hard to look good when I lately I hadn't been getting a second look from people anyway. I just went to school in sweatpants and a tee, with only foundation and mascara on. I felt amazing when I realized that nobody was treating me any differently. Of course I still wasn't getting compliments all over the place, but I wasn't before either! lol Oh, except my one friend said I looked like a girl off a "fresh-faced" commercial, but she's a flatterer(:

ETA: I also like to donate my clothes to the Salvation Army! Makes me feel good

My weight is always a surprise. It can be pretty difficult to figure out if I'm going in the right direction when I'm trying to lose back a few extra pounds.

When I hit about 140 that's always my wake-up call that my bad eating habits are catching up with me, as I usually hover fairly happily around 134. Then in about two weeks dieting I drop down to 137 or so. Back up to 139 shortly after due to water weight. I can get down to 133 usually after TTOM.

Oh! And a few weeks ago I was expecting a gain; I weighed in at 128. Uh... definitely not right. Same scale in the same place as always. Anybody else have these confusing ultra-lows?? :P

Now I'm back to that 139 state. :)

I'm a 42H cup. UGH!! I am praying that when I'm done with my weight loss I will be maximum a DD, but am really hoping for a D!!!! 

To those of you ladies with a small bust, would you rather have HUGE boobs or very small boobs? (Hope this question isn't offensive, because I don't mean to be if it is)

Honestly now that I am working out a lot, I would much rather have small boobs. Cause my huge ones bounce all over the freaking place! If I run too fast one will probably hit someone on the treadmill next to me in the face. 

Hahahaha!! Just made my day. :)

But I think I'd rather have... very small boobs if I was rather skinny, but if I was larger framed by nature I would rather have huge boobs. Overweight but a small/medium frame, then I'd pick very small. More motivation to lose!!

First and foremost, congratulations!!!:) Maybe you could take a look here for help with necklines: http://www.whatsuitsyou.co.uk/Articles/Broad_ Shoulders.php

But I actually do think halters have the potential to be really pretty on broader shoulders if the straps are a good thickness! Positioning of the strap is important too. Woah, I really watch a lot of Say Yes to the Dress :D haha

Typically people measure at the narrowest part of the waist. For some that may be the naval line, but at least for me it is a few inches higher. So I suggest re-measuring to see if that gives you a more favorable number(:

Also, upping your calorie intake may help if you still want to lose weight after you measure again. With 45 minutes of exercise, it's possible you're not eating quite enough and your metabolism has slowed down, as 1200 calories is the bare minimum for a woman to be eating.

As for exercise, not exactly my strong-suit so I'll let someone else on CC handle that one:D

just had to 'revive' this old topic because my sister - who called me boring and annoying - has started calorie counting! Welcome to the dark side.....!!!!!

Look at her learning things! ;D Good for her!! I really think this is definitely the way to go if you wanna do it right.

I always thought it was just me!!! lmao! Just a couple weeks ago a guy tried to hoist me up to the next level on the bleachers... I tried to tell him not to, but he seemed really offended that I thought he was weak or something. I felt bad and let him try. He actually lifted me up there!=)

I think a big part of it for me is that most of my friends - at least the flirty, bubbly ones who guys attempt to pick up - are fairly short, and the ones that aren't are super skinny. My guy friends will always pick them up when they hug them, and it makes me super jealous! I'm 140 and fairly tall, so although I'm not overweight technically, I always just feel so much bigger than my friends!

But I have to say that the first time I can really remember a guy friend picking me up when we hugged, it was a great feeling! I finally thought, maybe it's not my size after all and is really only my self-conscious attitude.
