Diets
I was wondering what most of you go off of for your diets? Do you only count calories, as in as long as you stay under your certain amount of calories then you eat whatever you choose? or is anyone specifically limiting carbs or fat intake to a certain amount? And how is it working for you?

Can only blame myself
Everytime I get to within 5 to 10 pounds of my goal, I seem to mess everything up. Then, I re-gain about 5 pounds. I think that as I get closer I feel what the heck. This attitude HAS to stop. Any advice? I do realize that this is caused by me alone.

Dealing with discouraging comments
I just joined and, in a group of similar people, was wondering if any of you shared an issue of mine and how you dealt with it. Having just joined this group, it is safe to assume I am skinny but not yet fit. I don't eat as healthy as I should and don't work out at all (but I am hoping tonight is the night where that will…

athletic vs. bulky
I always see women posting that they can't lift too much because they start to look "bulky." This always makes me feel a little bit sad inside because... a. why do you want to be weak? b. it's just not true. Women have to really lift a lot, like a lot a lot a lot , IMO, before they start to look bulky. I also have a…

I'm hungry! Starvation mode?
So if I am feeling much hungrier than usual - even thought I'm not working out extra hard - does that mean my body is in starvation mode? I have heard something about a "set point" where your body is used to being a certain weight...I have been around 160 for a couple of years, and now am down to 148. It's not that big of…

Ahem. Boobs.
I know it's really common to lose 'em once you start exercising and losing weight... But when do they stop shrinking!? I swear, if mine get any smaller, they're going to vanish :/ Went from a 38 D to a 32 A. And the 32 band is too loose on me. What about you?
