Sending you a big hug! You look amazing, impressive progress!

You call those thunder thighs?! Girl you look amazing! I think you can completely rock a bikini right now!

I walked by a mirror in yoga pants and a simple fitted t. I thought holy smokes 10/10. That was literally my brain. I also saw a full length picture from the side and didn't realize how small I'd gotten. I've been at goal weight for a few months and my brain is finally caught up to how I look :)

I'm doing an edx online course and there it was mentioned that a little extra body fat was healthy as we get older. For people with an overweight BMI it was more beneficial to focus on being active than losing weight. I can imagine a little extra reserve is good when older people get sick, so your body can draw energy from…

The size of the cup is in relation to the band size. So a smaller band size has a smaller cup as well. Generally a 32DD fits similar to a 34D, whereas the cup on a 34DD is larger than the cup of a 32DD. I hope my explanation makes sense but going down a bandsize and up a cupsize makes sense :)

Haha yes to the weird shadows! I was getting dressed, looked in the mirror and thought I'd somehow managed to get paint or dirt on me.. Nope shadows from my ribcage. I like mine but they're not very prominent, depends on the lighting. I also discovered the top of my shoulders are very hard.

That's amazing! Loving your body is such a freeing and positive feeling. Although I am at a similar weight to when I finished high school/ started Uni ("only" 6 years ago) I look different now! I also don't remember being so boney. Weight comes off in different places I guess. It may have to do with perception. At 18 I…

Learning to accept and believe a compliment can also be an nsv ;) I may have inspired a friend to lose weight (we talked about it a lot) and she looks great. I can't take credit for it, but I'm happy that she's happier.

Lays chips, the sea-salt light version (it's more crunchy than regular), I eat an entire bag in one go (~ 800 cals). However, I wasn't overweight, I just looked in the mirror and didn't like what I saw one day. On maintenance now and I still overeat some days, but with the lower days it averages out nicely. Chips I simply…

Op yes you can eat back part of your calories but only if you have set your activity level to sedentary. Otherwise these work-out calories are already part of your 1280 cals. What helped me was tracking my measurements and taking bikini progress pics. The pics feel terrible but the difference makes me proud. Now that I'm…

Look, honestly, losing weight is not about exercise. To lose weight you only need to eat less calories than you burn. If you can and know how to eat right, why don't you focus on that? I'm really impressed with everyone that gets up super early to do everything, but OP, eating well and exercise do not only come as a team.…

That's awesome! You look great. I'm not sure if it's just the days of the pictures, but you look happier in the second face picture, like you're ready to take on the world :smile:

I second the oats! With protein powder as needed. I make mine with unsweetened soy milk (lactose intolerant), add peanut butter (powder sometimes) and banana. Also really good with cocoa powder and cherries. Cinnamon is a must with any combo. Add a scoop of whey for extra protein. The version I had yesterday was 394 kcal,…
-
Could you send me that list too? :) I am looking at ways to limit animal consumption but still get that darn 100 grams of protein and haven't found a vegan protein powder that doesn't taste like dirt.
-
Have you ever had a tofu scramble? If you can find black salt, you can add it for the eggy flavour. I also really enjoy tofu scramble with sundried tomatoes, olives & feta (which I can eat without issue). Anything that adds flavour. I did a vegan challenge last year, highest protein meal I could come up with was a chili,…

Hahaha I love this! I always appreciate a good butt too, male or female :smiley:

I did c210k week 5 day 3 today! Even though I just came back from a 4 day trip (where I ate and drank everything) with a slight cold. I was really hesitant because running 20 mins at once scared me but I told myself, you don't have a fever, your throat hurts but your legs don't, go run! It's amazing how fast your condition…

Unrelated to weight loss but a huge victory nonetheless, I successfully defended my master's thesis yesterday! :# (Only an internship left between me and that MSc title)

No one told me that although your clothes become smaller, you won't necessarily have more space in your closet, since you might end up with over a drawers worth of work out clothes and gear... B)

Nearly lost my shorts on a run today. Had already replaced them once they got a little big, but the new ones don't have a pocket (didn't realise I'd start running at some point), so I used an old pair... Might have to stuff my key in my bra to avoid any embarrassing situations :D I also finished the first 4 weeks of C210K,…

It's funny, I always woosh down almost a kg just before getting my period. Sadly, it doesn't last.. After that initial woosh I just avoid the scale for a week or so ;)
-
Hehe I think you're right, that's what google said too, although WebMD told my I was dying ;)
-
I know it's just weird. Last week I noticed just how defined my ribs and the spaces in between have become, I never really noticed before. Every once in a while I can also feel what I think is my heartbeat in my abdomen, just below the ribcage, near the diaphragm. It freaked me out really bad the first time.
-
Yes it's been interesting. I use a pinterest board to pin every outfit that I love, both casual and business casual style. I'm trying to identify the common parts of all the pins and use that for my capsule. I have created a colour palette (this blog is really helpful:…

I am in the process of donating around 75 % of my clothes and starting to rebuild my entire wardrobe. I'm actually making a plan for a capsule wardrobe and a budget to go with it (finishing up uni/needing more business casual clothes/wardrobe as a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl makes it challenging). Although it's a big…

That losing weight won't be enough. I've reached my goal weight and have been maintaining successfully for a few months but I recently started a couch to 10 km running programme. I don't want to not be fat, I want to be pretty darn fit!
-
Don't get me wrong, I love my wine (and as a student pretty much anything else, gin & tonic is my jam), but these posts worry me. I know nothing of your life and I don't want to judge or be out of line here, but both your stories indicate that you show symptoms of alcohol use disorder according to the DSM V. See…
-
I still buy an entire bag of chips and eat it in one sitting, however I know it and often log it. I don't always log when I know I am way over my calories. I rarely meet my protein goal.
-
I bought running shoes today, at one of those specialty stores where you run in front of the camera. Been in a work-put rut lately, so c210k here I come!
