  • Donated to Goodwill and then went shopping in Goodwill Boutique. It felt soooo good. Told a couple of my friends to remind me how expensive it would be to re-buy my fat clothes in case I ever let myself go.
  • see I was curious about that too. I chose mine to be 3-4 kg lower then my lowest point as an adult. I've always been on the heavy side and even my lowest didn't feel comfortable). That said I'm about 15 pounds above my goal and 8 above my "lowest" and I look and feel better than ever, almost out of sizes to drop and I…
  • Odd, it's the oposite for me. The logistics of getting laid seem just worth messing up my gym schedule.. late nights, dinners, drinks, they all seem teeedious! But that said I can see how it can have a positive effect if you are not single:)
  • Had a good one today - went to the salon to get highlights for the first time and the hairdresser said that people's hair usually splits after treated with bleach, but mine took it well, waay above average. I guess good diet = strong hair.
  • Almost 5'9", here goes: 1) How much do you weigh at the moment? 149 lbs, started at 176lbs exactly 100 days ago. 2) How much would you like to weigh? still undecided, my original goal was 135 but I actually wanna do an accurate calculation of BF% and may up it a little. It turns out I might have a small frame for someone…
  • I started doing sprints and stairs initially, but what really got me hooked on HIIT is this class at my gym where they do what is called a Tabata workout: 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 8x8 sets, total of 64 intervals. That class felt SO AMAZING. I definitely recommend checking out tabatas.
  • I'm down 25 and barely an inch from the waist. At BMI 22 which is far off from the overweight BMI that I started with my waist size still indicates things like increased risk for (insert nasty stuff). But you know what - it's ok. It will go away, it'll be the last 10 pounds to go, but it has no other option. The good news…
  • good luck, I like the donation incentive! But, careful, you'll lose muscle at this rate. I started out at a similar rate (lost 10 kg in about 11 weeks, lost a few more after that) and the initial results were encouraging so it's an okay start to go for 1200, BUT I had to realize that the rate doesn't matter if it's a…
  • I love this thread! I have so many. The biggest surprise was that I'm genuinely a morning person now. 5am my body is wide awake and ready to go - that used to be unthinkable. I really enjoy cooking and dislike most restaurant food. In over 3 months the idea of getting one of the kitkat or twix bars from the office kitchen…
  • actually after long struggle with finding the right breakfast I opted for going to bed and waking up 2hrs earlier. That left time to cook a nice breakfast (15 min prep & clean up time, 10 min enjoy time), go to the gym, bike to work and still make it to work before 8. As a lifetime night owl/ snooze button enthusiast the…
