I've only gotten "don't lose any more weight" once. Kind of the same thing. My friend who also lost a lot of weight was the one who said it to me. I honestly think it was just a wee bit of concern for herself - she was gaining at the time (pregnant) so I think she might have felt a bit over shadowed in a way (which is…

7 bottles of water a day... 14 cups? Maybe it's too much for you?

I think it depends on context. On a fitness site it makes sense. On Facebook it's tacky. Consider the medium used to distribute the selfie.

Yes it does change it. If you punch in an exercise, and then go change your weight (say down 5 or 10 lbs) and punch in the same exercise again, you'll see your burn went down.

My grandpa started smoking at 11 and died at 94. Was treated twice for lung cancer and died of emphysema after living a few years on oxygen. He seemed healthy enough for a while. Imagine how long he would have lived if he hadn't smoked. Sometimes, it not how long they live, but how long they could have otherwise. I bet my…

Were you in weight loss mode up until you got pregnant (thinking it could be that you're no longer restricting so you're getting your glycogen back)? Right now your body is busy doubling the amount of blood you have, there is definitely weight gain associated with the first trimester. Every woman will gain differently…

You're supposed to buy jeans to fit your biggest part and have the rest tailored. Alternatively buy boot cut jeans. ... Just curious, was this post actually just a way to show your leg muscles? I can't tell if you're serious or just sharing a success story haha.

Just a note to all people... butter and yogurt are dairy... I'm trying to think about what my nephew likes... but he's pretty much a goat and will eat anything. I think if you cook with oil that could work. Curries and stir fries. Pastas and sauces. Maybe try presenting it with lots of colours... would she eat avocados?…

Hahahahahahaha if point 2 is the second strongest point, then this is ridiculous. Of COURSE corn is a GMO! People were dropping dead when it wasn't! I shan't read any farther.

I've heard of it! But other than washing and going to a dermatologist, I have no idea how to fix it.

I've heard good things about Strong Curves too. I personally do 5x5 for now. I did buy a book called "Body By You: You Are Your Own Gym". I like it too. It's calisthenics though, not weights. But it's very portable!

No, something is wrong with your account. Maybe contact the support people?

Hmmm I think if you can keep it to about a cup or even cup and a half of 1.5% milk, you're okay (i.e. I'd probably just reduce the amount you're drinking a little - as in one or two cups less of coffee a day. I did this by making all subsequent cups after the first cup be only half a cup so I had to go back for more…

I lost 4.3 the first week I ever dieted. It was all that water weight! I was eating 1400 cals a day I think. After that, not going to happen though. I'm not willing to starve myself for that.

It suggests way too many grains. I'd just reduce that and then go with it.

Hahah I see that now.

Here's a scientific article showing a link that 90% of people who are breastfed may also have an average of a 7 point increase in IQ compared to non-breastfed (twin study). Summary: http://www.unicef.org.uk/BabyFriendly/News-and-Research/Research/Mental-development/New-evidence-confirms-breastfeeding-link-to-higher-IQ/…

When did the OP say they weren't diabetic or pre-diabetic?

Thank you :) These all sound more interesting than my usual go-tos.

I think... I'd want more hair (of the type that I have just waaaay more of it on my head). And then I'd make my face slightly more symmetrical. And I'd like slightly longer fingers and nail beds. And more and longer eyelashes. So I guess... it sounds like I just want to be hairier for the most part? But yes. If it's just…

This also sounds really good. Maybe I'll also do some meal prep this weekend.

Oh I have all those things. I even have orange juice boxes that I forgot about haha. What proportions would you use for the ingredients?

I have an onion and some garlic. ... salad dressing and cranberry-bbq sauce... really old celery that I should throw away... an apple... Pickles. Quinoa, rice, pasta, tomato soup and mushroom soup (condensed), tuna. Sriracha sauce... umm. Red wine. And nachos. I also have frozen mixed veggies and some General Tao sauce.…

Coffee... for caffeine.

According to my mom, never. Because just when you do, you'll find out you're pregnant and want them back so that you don't have to spend a small fortune on maternity clothes. :D

I ate 255 grams of cheese yesterday in one sitting. It was not my intention when I started. Is that an oops? But it was so delightful (and I somehow avoided the dairy allergy fallout!! Don't ask how that works!) Now I remember why nachos aren't allowed in my home. Honestly I don't regret it... when I told my fiancé we just…

Maybe it's scurvy or something. You should probably start consuming vegetables, meats, and fruits as well. Carbs alone are not enough. It could be any number of nutrient deficiencies (iron, B12, vitamin D, etc)

How about a small amount of the actual craving that you have?

I think it depends on what you're buying. In some cases, no but in some cases yes.
