Thanks Gals. I appreciate it. <3

Not Typically. Yesterday was a horrible example. But as a rule, no. I try to stick to 1600 calories, reguardless of excercise. I will also keep that in mind once I *have* one I will also keep that in mind once I *have* one Reguardless, this is the first day I just feel... deflated. I'm going to go cry this out on the…

I calculate calories burned via the machines. (I always enter correct age and weight) I ordered a FitBit Charge HR a few weeks ago, but it's still on back order.

I think you are all right, it's portion size. I'm going to get a scale, and see if that helps.

Thanks everyone.

I will pick up a food scale tonight! :)

I don't, but I do measure everything very carefully with measuring cups.

No. I'm sure he meant it as a compliment, but No. You need a man who loves you AND your big body.... not despite it! He has bought into the fact that women are supposed to look like the girls in magazines... instead of what they actually do (SIZE 14 is average everyone!) You are a beautiful woman. PERIOD. Not dispite your…

Hi Miss Carrie! I'm Nicole and I'm a gemini! I don't know about you but I LOVE what you're doing to yourself now! You awknowledged the problem, and now you're taking steps to make yourself the BEST version of yourself! You've already already so much further than so many people in this world, and I find you inspiring! It…

How is coconut milk different from coconut water?

I was hoping to lose weight when I quit - lots of people told me I would. No Dice.

Welcome to Arizona LOL I drink water... HARD. I am hilarious... I'll be here all night. :wink: :wink: :wink:

This. Now I can't encourage people to kick Diet Soda enough. I was a HEAVY HEAVY Diet Coke drinker until very recently. Since I quit drinking soda (all soda, not just diet) I'm no longer diabetic, and I back on a regular lady cycle. I actually blogged about it for a little while... but I sort of gave up...…

It's amazing to me how things are sold to us as "healthy" - and if you do even the slightest bit of research, it's terrifying.

I really enjoy Wawa Chocolate milk (when I visited PA) we don't have ANYTHING like that in Arizona.

Do you mind citing your source? I'd love to read that article!

THIS. I'm trying SO hard to eat WHOLE food but it's so hard to see "Diet" "Low Fat" "Fat Free" everywhere, especially at Gyms and health food stores. Every couple of years the research "changes" - but whole food is whole food. This makes me think "Whole" milk is the way to go. Does anyone know the rules (in the US)…

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your insight!

Seriously. What is he? 12??? ugh. All humor aside - YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THE GODDESS YOU ARE! The fact you are ON this site, shows you are trying to make positive changes. If he is already texting other females, it's time for a conversation. Sit him down, and really talk to him... talk about why you got married,…

Yes. When I first started working, I wasn't taking in ENOUGH calories (which was really hard to wrap my head around as a chronically fat person) and pounded a Monster Energy Drink, after working a 10 hour day... yeah, not only was I jittery, but I was shakey... bad combination lol I avoided lifting for a while after that.

Hi Everyone! Thank you for the QUICK responses. I think I am the one person in the world who doesn't like coffee (believe me, I've tried...) but I might try a banana!! Also, I'm going to research C4 - does it ever make you jittery?
