  • @cemetree - I have been doing IF for about 5 years now and it had the opposite effect on me. I’m muuuuch less hungry now whereas before I was hungry all the time while eating more. I usually eat around 1pm and stop eating around 10pm. I don’t limit myself to 2 meals. I may also have some snacks. But, I’m never hungry…
    in Intermittent Fasting - Is it a good idea? Comment by Sparkle7 June 2019
  • Love all the posts! You've given me great ideas for adding variety to my workouts. I especially like some of the options that I can do at home. I'll be less motivated to go to a gym when snow comes. If you said I can add you, I'm doing so now. If not, and you want to add me, feel free!!

  • I'm going to be the outlier here. I've been using a skin brush and Nivea firming and smoothing serum for about 3 weeks and was shocked that I have seen noticeable results. Both are cheap so I felt it didn't hurt to try. I don't know which one is working but they are easy to do so I dot know that it matters. That being…

  • Hey there! First, congrats on tackling this tough problem. Keeping it off isn't easy! Here's what works for me. • Get rid of clothes as soon as they are loose. Get them tailored or sell / donate and buy new. You'll feel better & get a warning when clothes start to get tight. • Tell your friends you won't socialize around…

  • I'd agree for people who are fitness oriented and understand that a healthy weight helps avoid disease. You're obviously in that camp because you have gym buddies and work out!
    in Goal weight question Comment by Sparkle7 July 2015
  • I agree with a lot of the comments here. Small boned people should typically weigh less than a large boned people of the same height. My friend and I are the same height but even at the same weight we are very different clothing sizes because of our differing bone structure. Some is weight distribution. Check your waist /…

  • My approach is simple! Exercise: 5x/wk 45 min cardio, 30 min weights 5 day split. Food: TRACK EVERYTHING!!! Eyeballing means more calories eaten. Increase cal to 1800 a day w/ a cheat meal once a week. I eat a plant based, mostly Paleo diet. Water: A gallon every day. Other: Weigh 3x/wk. I sold my big clothes and bought…
