  • Most important to me: Honesty Integrity Understanding A good sense of Humor Otherwise they'd just have to be OK with me having a daughter and understand that she is very important to me, that they would need to have some sort of Career or be working towards one and wouldn't be opposed to playing video games or board games…
  • Personally I prefer home made because it goes a lot farther than packaged. Even if you're just cooking for you it is worth it in the end to get as much as you can out of those dollars you spend by doing all your meals home made. Just prepare in advance. As a side note, I know what it's like to eat on a strict budget... I…
  • I wanted to like you post...haha, congrats! Fantastic work!
  • Funny enough I prompted myself to come back due to the season and my already burgeoning waistline. I want to find my control again... hopefully they and yourself manage to stay on track, this season, easter and halloween are the hard ones.
  • Tried Iso Sensation 93 Chocolate Fudge last night, so darn good. It's like ice cream! I used it with chocolate soy milk and some fruit, was dessert in a cup.
  • Incremental Goals with Incremental Rewards, doesn't have to be anything big... the rewards can be hitting targets and crossing them off a list (I personally find crossing things off lists when completed rewarding) but it can also be an activity, a trip or something that really makes you appreciate the completion of a goal.
  • You can always try to stay on track by ensuring that you're eating appropriate portion sizes, you may not fit in your macros or caloric intake goals for the days this is going on but it will help keep it under control. Also why not add a little extra to your routine next week to ensure you capture that increase in your…
  • Thanks blueakama, I did forget to add a bit about me and have fixed that. New account after a while... my old profile was very full with stuff about me and my goals... I just didn't think about it because of that :)
  • Probably has been said a few times here... - Learn the 'machines' you have available to you, find out what parts of the body that they work for... best advice to start with I assure you. - When building a routine you want to stick to a set group of muscles for each workout (so change those groups daily to give them all a…
  • Don't worry about what they think. If anything thinks badly of you coming back then that's their problem and not yours. You're doing this for you so it should only matter what you think about you going back and how hard you're going to work for yourself.
  • So far... Optimum Nutrition 100% GOLD Whey Protien Powder in Extreme Chocolate Milk, it mixes well and has great flavor. I am starting Iso Sensation 93 in Chocolate Fudge pretty soon here and based off overall reviews I am seeing it as being my new favorite in the future :)
  • For breakfast you can do egg whites and a bit of cheese. I do 3/4 cups egg whites with 1/4 cup shredded partly skimmed mozzarella scrambled. It's less than 200 calories and then a snack a couple hours later definitely gets you by and opens up some space for other meals. I find the more simple the meals the less the…
  • It takes time and also takes the right kind of support. I had this specific issue in jr high and high school, I yo-yo'ed in weight, rarely even ate in front of people except on special occassions but then spent a lot of time fussing oveer the fact that I had eaten food at all. I spent years making horrible choices for my…
  • I would suggest getting to know the equipment at your gym instead and asking for advice on routines when needed. (Like if you don't feel challenged enough by what you're doing but don't know how to challenge yourself further or want some input to do so). Also do some research on different work out group activities, I find…
  • 4 oz steamed chicken breast, 4 oz steamed carrots and 1 cup of steamed basamati rice. No butter or salt added although I usually put some Frank's Red Hot on the chicken.
  • Amazing change! You looked good before but even better after :)
  • Fantastic goal :) You are definitely capable of getting there ;) I am going to add you if you don't mind!
  • Hi 5ft 4.5in, SW/CW: 170lbs *cries inside...* GW: 120 lbs I always have been like that! I never really wore dresses/skirts/shorts even in my younger years (had my own personal issues with showing off my legs... always hated them). I cannot wait to hit 120 again... although it may take at least a year :( I am so impatient.
  • I'm ravenous regardless... I don't get cycles (thank you meds for endo) but I get cycles of insatiable need for very specific foods... once I have them even in the littlest amount I am fine.. for a day or two. And now... what 37lbs and just one year after a lot of hardship that assisted in prevention of regular healthy…
  • Hi... I honestly wouldn't suggest you use peanut butter unless you use PB2, it's lower calorie for sure... peanut butter generally is high fat and carb and not high enough protein to counter and is about 100 calories per tablespoon while bananas, which are amazing, are also high in carbs (good fibre but high sugar). If you…
