I am in maintenance but thanks to my birthday and Thanksgiving being back to back, I let a little loose and put on four pounds so I'm cutting til it's gone again. I'm trying to stay between 1300 and 1600. 1200 is just too freaking low unless you are volume eating which I probably should do but I don't have the time to make…

My package says two slices is like, 70 or 90 calories! That's not accurate?!

Why can't you each be responsible for your own food?

You WON'T! We don't have the testosterone required to get bulky the way men do. You'll get toned and lean and your arms and shoulders will look fabulous!

Use it to add an extra topping to something you really like. Treat yo'self.

Psh, I don't even want to pay for mine!

I have resting b.... face. And a knife in my purse. So I feel ok.

I followed ChaLean Extreme when I started lifting. An hour of cardio is a LOT, especially when you're lifting too.

You SHOULD have a range, not just a singular number. We retain water, salt, etc, for a number of reasons and our weight isn't a firm constant. I personally fluctuate between 166 and 170. If I go over 170 and stay there for more than two days, I'll cut back for a few days til I hit my goal range again.

Did you just start? It is soooo much harder when you just start! Once a couple of weeks pass, it really DOES get better. If the issue is that you're hungry all of the time, I'd try volume eating; still count calories BUT make sure most of your food is fruit and veggies. You can eat a lot, esp of veggies. The first few…

Yeah, I was accused of trying to sell Beachbody because I was so enthusiastic about it. I'm not a coach, I don't take a single one of their shakes/supplements. I quite literally only subscribe to BOD but apparently, that's too much. As if somehow wasting time looking for free workouts on YouTube or taking the…

I drink a protein shake (which I just realized I forgot to bring today!) as a mid morning snack. I take a multivitamin and iron.

I don't either.

Believe in yourself sweetheart. Only you have a 100% guarantee of not letting yourself down.

I remember the first time I didn't fit in plus sizes anymore. I was looking and looking and eyeballing the outfits and one of the sales girls in the store came over to me and asked me if I needed help. I told her it was my first time there and I didn't know what size I should I get and she gently said, 'I thought so…

Popeye's is delicious! On the rare occasion I indulge, no regrets. However, if you have a chicken spot nearby...

Sometimes, yeah. It's easier to do this sort of thing when you're in maintenance, not so much when you're trying to lose. And at the end of the day, I'm tired! I'm not entirely sure I can or am willing to do that extra work which is why I plan ahead. But, if this works for you, then it works.

I can burn 500 in less than an hour on the elliptical. You gotta push but you can do it.

I love working out at home! I have a gym membership I've been meaning to cancel. The gym is good for when I'm traveling since I can go to any branch but I definitely prefer my Beachbody on Demand. So many workouts to choose from and when I'm done, I'm already home!

Peanut butter and wavy potato chips

Sounds like you might be iron deficient. People who are (like myself) are often to referred to as having "tired blood" because fatigue is one of the main symptoms.

So she can lose 26lbs in four weeks, that's why. This sounds awful.

Would you consider frozen meals with add-ons? I stock up on Lean Cuisines (they're the best ones) when they're on sale and usually have a Lean Cuisine, a big bowl of baby spinach with light blue cheese dressing, and a Greek yogurt with dried fruit or granola mixed in.

My mini food processor, food scale, crock pot, and Kitchen Aid mixer.

This is hysterical.

It's wicked true.

GAHHH!!!!

Keto anything.

You have to purchase the right internet package to be able to log so that's first. Second, they have a gym on board. I went on a cruise during the last week of August and no, I didn't eat all of everything I could find but I CERTAINLY ate some of everything I wanted! I spent thirty minutes on the elliptical most days we…

Woo! Get it!!!
