Add some resistance/strength training and you're golden.

Whatever I could find? I probably wouldn't have been here, my family migrated from places like Ireland and Germany.

That's actually VERY good progress. I've only lost 13 pounds since December 10th with careful deficit and a dedicated gym routine. I'd be jumping for joy if I lost over a quarter of my weight loss goals the way you have!

Burn the proverbial wagon. The wagon doesn't exist. So you went on vacation. Slips happen when you're having fun and relaxing. Come back and strike when the iron's hot: just do it. Don't wait for a "day" or the beginning of the week. Just resolve to get back into it like nothing less ideal had happened in the first place.…

Bro science. OP please listen to @futuremanda and answer these questions to yourself. It sounds like too little intake or an incorrect balance of macros. Do you know your BMR/TDEE?

You said it. You can't spot reduce. The weight falls off where it wants to. Lift more.

Wow! I'd bring tons of food. You're gonna need the energy.

I wish I had that problem...I either hit it or I'm under. Though on 1200 calories, I'd hope you'd be getting adequate protein and fat! What is your age, weight, height, activity level and exercise level like?

Did you do daily chores when you were overweight? Then I wouldn't count it, especially if it's routine. Is it a rare, different, over-the-top clean/home/yard/garden maintenance that you do only once in awhile? I'd count it.

People aren't there to judge anyone for getting fit (as far as I've seen). That's what a gym is for. The fears of being judged and stared at are in your head. Most folks are at the gym to do their thing and get out. That's not to say I didn't have my own fears the first time I went to the gym. I did. And I quickly got over…

This. Sorry, OP. The fat falls off where itv wants to and when it wants to. I've lost only two inches off my hips and one inch off my thighs in about 100 days. Seven off my abdomen. It's slow, but it's progress!

This thread won't last. I feel for the OP wanting genuine advice and support. Sorry, OP!

Y'all, go read his status updates, they're hysterical. The guy must obviously be a troll and we're giving him what he wants.

And seriously, you're using an example from one online video to equate that all women are gold diggers? Grow up. Didn't even notice that, good eye! Nailed it!

I hate having a big butt. My family picked on me for it a lot. Now I have friends that say they'd kill to have my butt! Having a round bubble butt is in but I want out!! Bring on the firm, perky squat butt already!! :'(

To judge someone for something as simple as holding the treadmill while they bust out their exercise sounds terribly ableist and uses way too much energy (as others have said, what if they have medical reasons to hold on? Who are you to judge??) I would much rather worry about general gym etiquette than what someone…

I've met guys like this. Guys you considered platonic friends and dump all their self-pity on you about them never finding love because all women want are a-holes and always overlook the nice guy. That's their big lure trying to fish for you without coming out and asking. Or if they do ask and you say no, they get all…

I haven't read other posts after this one, so forgive me if this was already said: WOMEN ARE NOT DEVICES TO PUT FRIENDSHIP COINS IN UNTIL SEX FALLS OUT. WOMEN DO NOT OWE YOU *kitten*. THE GIRL DOESN'T LIKE YOU THAT WAY, TOUGH T*TS. STOP TAKING OUT YOUR SEXUAL FRUSTRATION ON WOMEN SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET ONE. Good god,…

I'm gone at my full-time job from 7:30-6:00 PM every day. I go to the gym 5-6 times a week right after work. I had to stop making excuses and start going.

This week, I had a bowl of high-fiber, high-protein granola with blueberries, walnuts and coconut milk. :smile: I like to do oatmeal or quiches or bagels with a protein shake...it's always changing.

Feel free to add me. :)

He said it.

ROFL PITY POTTY...

lol Yeah. They ring it if you make too much noise with the weights, basically. I haven't been a member long enough to eat the bagels and the pizza. Not sure if I'm interested, really.

I was deterred from going to Planet Fitness by folks here in the forum, but I took a peek at it because curiosity won out and I couldn't help but join. I really do like it there. They have 100x more equipment than my previous gym, it's huge, it's clean, everyone is so courteous and helpful and never weirdly leery like some…

Nothing. Everything in moderation is my personal motto. I have stopped having dessert every single night, though. I've learned that dessert is a treat, which I feel should be a 'sometimes' food. That's personal preference though :)

I don't see why anyone would be outright against gloves. I use a cheapo pair I got at Five Below. I've found it helps me with gripping rather than hindering.

It's normal. Hell, I wish I had that problem. I go multiple times a day and I hate it. I encourage you to eat more fiber, fruit and veggies.

I love mine! Feel free to add me.
