Thank you for that. I needed to hear that in exactly that way. I'm still having a bit of a pity party, but picking myself up by the boot straps and marching on. I'll schedule labs to be done again in 4 months (because I'm not patient enough for 6 months lol) I want this to be something I can prevent on my own. This is also…

I actually cut sugar because it made me feel like crap. I (try to) only eat honey/agave/fruit for sugar (sometimes I fail...human and junk). I'll keep the carb/protein thing in mind. I get blood sugar crashes as well randomly. Guess that should have told me something... No, I didn't get any blood work done pre-weight loss,…

I almost licked my screen. Well done!

That's a good point! Never thought of that. I have it downloaded but I don't play. I do like the sport of watching people play. Sit on a bench on Main St. and watch all the zombies staring at their phones walk by and walk into things. I think I burn more calories laughing at them than I do playing. lol

Likes bathroom selfies, isn't afraid of his feminine side, and don't forget leg day. :wink: :blush:

Early Fridays are my favorite! And I even managed to pack my gym bag #winning

I'm a sucker for carbs when I'm sick - Panda Express is my kryptonite, but I have found different soups and stuff that I like as well, so when I feel like I'm getting sick, I lean on those instead. I don't get sick often, so I haven't really figured out if I track or not track...hmm...well that's interesting. I don't…

I have personal experience with phentermine, and I can say that it was awesome to see the rapid weight loss.....but! There were so many more negatives that outweighed that. I would forget to eat all together. Now, while this seems like an awesome thing, but it really isn't. Your body is MEANT to run on food, not…

You are adorable! Great job!! And who cares what anyone else thinks or current trends? If you are comfortable being you, then you found your magic number!

My answer to this: Anything on sale at Sprouts and anything on sale (meaning I eat in season fresh food - it's difficult during the winter, though) at any other grocery store close to me. I'm excited that it is spring and all my favorite fruit and veg are coming back! Now to wait for the sales to pop up!

@RossAH wins the internet today! I love that and will file it away should this ever come up.

From my own experience: I have done the 21 day fix a few times, and at first I found it restrictive, but my issue has always been poor portion control and eating all the very bad things (high sugar, high carb, et all). Anyway, I saw results on the fix, but when I was off it and I'd start including non-fix friendly foods…

I actually use to follow her. I think that lasted all of a week. I don't recall the article or post I read, but sure enough, it was enough for me to bail because her logic is completely flawed and I am not that stupid. I think the quote that made me giggle the most was, "Hari's rule? "If a third grader can't pronounce it,…

Have you tried lifting weights? Lifting weight may add scale pounds to you, but you will look far more chiseled and may be able to get rid of the extra flub by doing so.

I had a trainer tell me, without seeing my son, that he knows my son is fat because I'm fat, and that's just how it is. I went to management and they gave me a 2 week free pass. I didn't go back because I didn't want to have to look him in the eye, because I would not have been kind, and I refuse to stoop to his level. The…

A collection of scary clown paraphernalia. ^_^

I actually LOVE PiYo and when I was doing it consistently, I saw awesome results. I have allowed stress and other junk in my life to dictate my health journey over the last few months, but am over it. Cleaning up my diet, doing IIFYM, and PiYo starting again tonight!
