I guess, probably for good reason. I won't put that *kitten* in my body.

I lack serious self control but if I fit in something a little unhealthy a day it helps keep me from binge eating....but by a little unhealthy i mean a piece of dark chocolate or a whole wheat fig newton bar. Sometimes I mimic really tasty high fat foods, like tacos, at home but leave out the cheese or sour cream, use a…

I consider it bad because fast food is usually junk, not because it is high in fat but because you have no clue what they are putting in their food. I am all for a fatty meal, especially if it your cheat day/meal or you can fit it in your calories, but I would consider most fast food places bad.

Good Idea on the hike, thanks!!

Feel free to help a girl out!

Do I look like one?

I don't think they are normal beautiful, I think I am normal beautiful. They definitely are super beauties but like others have said, so are other women with different body types.

I agree, weighing in on Monday would motivate me to eat healthy over the weekend...

I think fake sugar is worse than real sugar, I wouldn't use any artificial sweetener personally.

sometimes I use apple sauce

You are married but your mom makes you breakfast every morning? I would grow a pair, say I am changing my lifestyle and I can't eat this anymore for the sake of my health.

Ok I actually didn't know that, I thought a plateau was when the scale didn't move for while. thank you so much this helps. Sometimes if I don't hear these things it is hard to find the motivation.

Ok thanks, I am glad to be losing the inches! I hope a whoosh is right around the corner because I'm close to maintenance and I want it bad!!

My calories are set at 1,480 a day so I can lose a lb a week. I don't want to go much lower because then I'm always really hungry. I rarely go over and I don't eat back all of my exercise.

I do

I looked at your pictures. You are hotter than most VS models. Just saying.

Physically they are very attractive but like one poster said, I've seen more beautiful in person. They are also photo shopped and probably starve themselves.

I think you look awesome just as you are

I guess I am new to this and besides hiking (too cold right now) can't seem to find any hobbies I love

But if I miss the buzz then a few drinks a week won't do much for me. It is like I can't have as much fun without it.

this is good advice but I already do that 5-7 times a week.

thank you. I will avoid it over there

Damn ouch! Well, I am pretty cool. I lift weights for an hour a day so my bum is tight.

Thank you!

I thought it was well said

Sugar is in excess, especially if you are consuming high fructose corn syrup, is bad. The problem with this is the fructose skips the rate limiting enzyme step in the glycolytic pathway, there is no regulation when using fructose so any excess energy gets stored as fat.

I think 1,200 would be closer to 2 lbs a week wouldn't it? I was having the same problem, I gained 60 lbs pregnant and lost 50 of it in just a few months. My daughter is 16 months and I STILL can't lose the last 10. I've tried everything. I think I was eating too little M-F and then I was so hungry by the weekend that my…

This is not true, you can stall if you eat too few calories which slows down your metabolism. You will also gain it back if you start eating like a normal person.

Nutrition is not that simple. I have a degree in it and my husband has a phd in it. There is sooo much evidence that sugar is bad, too many carbs can be bad, all calories are not created equal, what you put into your body influences your gut microbiome which effects your weight. Yes if you reduce calories you will lose…
