"Oh come on, you don't have to be careful! You work out!" Hearing that is hard because I could easily inhale a crap ton of peanut butter cookies, thin mints, snickerdoodles, bbq pork sandwiches. I really could! And if I'm not more conscientious, I do! So it's hard for me to hear the praise on my body/ workout habits…

The overall goal with a step counter is to get yourself moving more throughout the day. I find myself taking the stairs more while at the office, walking to a bathroom further away from my area, taking mini-walk breaks. I find the step challenges between mates to be encouraging and fun. If someone is meeting the 10,000…

I love my fitbit Flex. I paid 80 for it (on sale) and wear it religiously. I find I get up and walk more, feel encouraged by the amount I burn in a day. Overall I think it was a wise decision for me.

I'm 5'8" and 160 pounds currently. I struggle losing because I end up hunting for food at bedtime. Or I have days like yesterday where I feel like no matter how much I eat, I'm hungry for more. I ate around 2400 calories yesterday. The only up to it all was doing a long run Saturday, and going for a bit of a walk yesterday…

Glutes and backs and shoulders and abs and.....everything. I admire/ appreciate it all.

^Great advice, right there

You have a response as to "it can't be that" after most people's comments here. The doctors opinion is going to be better than anything any of us can offer to you. Hope it's nothing serious.

I pop a bag of 100 calorie popcorn and drive my co-workers crazy with the smell. I'm that biotch.

Who cares is she feels like wearing what she did. She doesn't look big to me, at all! And ... look at something else if you don't care for her cute tummy.

@iTim...maybe lives in place with little sunlight

When I went to order a plain old sweet greens drink at Starbucks yesterday and was told they now only serve it in a Venti which is a ridiculous $5.95 now... and it's because they now put a banana in the smoothie. I don't want your freaking banana...I had my macros accounted for and already considered it a splurge to pay…

Might be! You never knowwwww ;)

Nuts, not shell.

I can give it to you gay, not straight...but I agree with the other posters that all are great for your health. You will look better (more muscle def) if you keep lifting heavy and eat at a slight deficit. You can do it!

I told my girlfriend I'd just like to go out to a Sushi restaurant at the coast we have been to in the past. Let's forego the gift part and get some time together.

Way too often, it seems. Putting mine in the basement, hopefully find a good corner where spiders hang out so I'm not tempted to reach back and grab it again.

At the edge of the dance floor, honing in on the target ...O.O

This is great advice here. So great. There are many things people can do that are legitimately fun that don't include drinking. Hiking, going up to the snow in the mountain and dinking around, swimming, running, cooking...anyway, once you get some time under your belt with no alcohol you realize there' a LOT more out there…

I've never blacked out, but I have felt like drinking halts progress for me fitness wise. I LOVE a good dark beer with some froth on top...love it. But when I decide to not drink, I don't drink. The entire month of January I didn't drink because I wanted to go a month without for *kitten* and giggles. and since then I've…

My boss frequently brings in delicious cookies, pies and other treats. I indulge more than I need to. I also love going to lunch with her and my co-workers and consider it a time to connect on a different level. You are spot on that it's up to us to make the choice of what we actually allow in our bodies. Will keep all…

My friend, yesterday, told me I looked fit and tiny in the outfit I was wearing.

Make batches of beans and rice and when frozen chicken is on sale, snap it up. Potatoes, fresh produce are your friend and cheaper than people would like you to believe.

Are you underweight, or have an eating disorder? Your post is peculiar.

Friendly

I kind of don't see a problem with what you're doing (so far). I also don't know if you have obsessive tendencies in general, and maybe you know yourself better than anyone else and know that this might be a slippery slope for you. 15 pounds in the last several weeks is a lot to lose. Just keep watch over yourself and…

That's fantastic progress, right there. Way to go!

It's that look in their eyes, that mischievous twinkle and more of their persona/ way they carry themselves.

Hahaha.... Thank you for this.
