I totally get that feeling you talked about.. probably everyone here does so you aren't alone! The way I broke out of it was actually learning to be kind to myself. Sounds lame I know.. but one day I realized that that inner voice was really mean and I took note and started cutting it off and being nicer. I stopped…

I have also tried keto and it worked for me but every time I went back to carbs (which is inevitable) I gained everything I lost and some! Like someone else said, don't let people put you off trying new things. Different things work for different people. I just started IF 16:8 and am AMAZED. I downloaded the free BodyFast…

What a transformation! You look amazing!

I find it easier on days where I eat less often but then have a larger meal where I can actually get full. For me I find it easier to either not have breakfast and then have more cals for later meals or have a light cal breakfast like a protein shake. Sometimes just a salad for lunch, and then a nice biggish dinner. I…

Yes that's a good rule :-) I found daily tracking my weight was helpful in seeing how my body reacts to certain foods, such as water retention, and once I am down to more my maintenance weight I will certainly weigh myself a lot less! I'm not quite ready to let go of the obsession yet.. I'm with you regarding a good…

I've come to really realize that I will always have to watch myself. I think if you ever have had weight to lose that there is always the possibility of old habits creeping in if you aren't on top of it, and that's when you can go in one direction or the other. You have to take the power back because whichever direction…

Well, you shouldn't really call out someone's feelings they're expressing as 'Pathetic'.. On the subject the longest I was single for was about 12 years. I realized one day, about 15 1/2 years ago now, that I had absolutely no clue what I really wanted in someone. I had never had a good male role model growing up. So I…

That and your skin bounces back easier :-)

Have lost about 35-38 lbs since first two photos and a whole lot of mental baggage too. Still working on it but enjoying the process :-) Last photo was taken two days ago. Just like to say this is the first time I have ever put those photos out there.. but everyone else is so brave to have shared I thought why not. You all…

Awesome. So honest and open and you look fantastic and most importantly you are stronger on the inside :-)

Amazing. I know what you mean, I never thought of myself as big before I lost weight a couple years ago too. It creeps up on you when you aren't thinking about yourself. It's shocking to see photo's and to think that was me thinking I looked fine and was healthy.. Awesome that you have done this at such a young age without…

Me too!! Must be our age range.. I think being heavier just provided the natural fillers that people start getting injected at this age..

some men seem to love big boobs and curves. Mine used to strangle me they were so massive. My ex used to not want me to lose weight and would sulk any time I worked out.. my brother also likes girls to be on the 'curvier' side so I know it's real- and he is really small! When you are with someone who wants you like that…

"I don't have an hour glass figure, I have an hour-and-a-half b*tches!" (because that's a good thing).. :D

I totally get it. I still struggle to go into the 'guys side'.. which is what it feels like, even though I know it's not and it's not their fault. Some gyms have more women too or just a more casual atmosphere.. I can only imagine how intimidating a military gym would be! I reckon you have to get right back on the horse…

Oh yeah, that was about 1 1/2 years ago when I didn't know it was a Bosu ball, it was the "half-round thingie".. haha

Hi! I lived in Port Moody when I was little before I moved to NZ! I'll send you a friend request too if that's ok :-)

I wonder how many times they see people adjusting their underwear under their pants when they think noone is looking?! damn.. lol

I didn't know what the bosu ball was for and stood on it the wrong way with no coordination. I fell off and did a rolly polly across the floor. I laughed my *kitten* off while sprawled on the ground, then got up and gave it another go.. still the wrong way.. wasn't until I saw someone on it that I realized, lol It helped…

Ohh.. yes that is true it isn't usually about diet. I have always been anemic/borderline and find B12 really helps but then I have endometriosis. Definitely think the magnesium/potassium would help with muscle fatigue though, do you think?

As heather said above you can do it! Do what you know works for you and keep yourself motivated by getting good support. When I need inspiration to get to the gym I look at my pinterest account or watch youtube videos of workouts and that usually gets me up and going! Remember its not so much about the numbers as it is…

Magnesium/Potassium really helps with muscle fatigue & recovery & a good B12 complex will up your red blood cell count - and as someone above said: 6 days per week of working your legs will have an effect. Maybe try lowering your incline but to keep it challenging up your speed a little?

cool will do!
