I find I only comment on an auto generated post if the person first posts a reason why it should be exciting. Ex Random workout post but person comments "first time I ran a full mile with out stopping to rest" or any other victory this particular auto generated post is a milestone representation of.

It takes up to 3years at your goal weight for your skin to tighten up if you have lost a significant amount. The amount of time you were at the larger time will also factor into of it will all tighten up.

Chafing and dehydration would be the ones I would worry about, other than the basic risks that come with multiple partners.

It helps to master that "you are of no consequence to me" look that makes people uncomfortable to make eye contact with you.

Stopping the pill is a drastic shift in your body's hormones. You will need to let this level out before you can really assess what is or is not going to work now.

I'm curious if it is the idea of the job or the reality of it that you fantasize about?

I don't know if your wall is public or not but you can post something about it there. If they don't take the time to read it than they aren't worth keeping anyway and you shouldn't feel bad giving them the boot from your FL.

Some people are just inspirational in themselves and others want to have their daily activity and accomplishments appear in their feed to draw motivation from. Maybe you should feel flatter they are inspired by just your daily logging, or let them know before you accept the FR that you expect interaction to stay on your FL.

Get a full nights sleep. (2 kids who like to sneak into bed with mommy and daddy in the middle of the night.)

Depending on how long you were at your higher weight you may have built some muscle in your legs and increased your bone density (both increase your weight without adding much if any size) so will be able to fit in sizes that before you had to weigh less to wear.

I found monthly naked pics at maintenance helped me visually keep myself in check and knowing the pic was coming helped me to stay active and keep my indulgences in check.

What rainbowbow said. And for lifting just count it as a deficit calculating error cushion because it really isn't much.

As a female it is highly unlikely you gain muscle in a deficit that has you losing 2 lbs a week. That being said, when you start a new lifting schedule your muscles will store some additional water to facilitate healing. This will reduce slightly as you become used to your schedule. You are doing well, just keep going.

I find my ego stops me from blaming others. "There is no one who can influence me for I am better than they are" It may not be a particularly attractive thought but it gives me control and stops me from blaming others.

My husband has high cholesterol and the biggest thing that helped him was an increase in fiber and a decrease in simple carbs. We don't watch his cholesterol intake anymore and he is off his meds now too. I wouldn't worry too much about the dietary cholesterol.

Since feeding is down to just at night it shouldn't factor into your cal goals much at all. I would suggest picking one goal or the other, it is long and hard to recomp(lose fat and gain muscle). Just choose a goal and put it in mfp and follow for 2weeks. After that adjust up or down to dial in on your goals.

You're missing her definition of moderation, which seems to have something to do with how the food you are eating is perceived by the general public.

Ok ;) I won't argue, since I have no clue how large you were, or what your macros were set to, or if they were set correctly to your goals, or if you even tracked your micros.

Your macro/micro goals are where the problem would be IIFYM is if done right IIFYM&M. Once you account for micro needs your fast food example becomes quite impossible to do more than once in a while unless you are quite active male and bulking.

Strong lifts 5x5 is a great start out program and all you need is a bench barbell safe way to put the barbell on your shoulders and weights. Start as light as you need to.

SW 190 CMW 150-159 GMW 140-149 Height 5'10" I am not upset with my current maintenance weight range but I have been in this range for 6months and feel if I can drop down to the 140's and maintain I will be truly satisfied since it is about 150 that I begin to start checking myself out in the mirror and flexing. Low to mid…

Once you go into maintenance you will see ~3-8 lbs of glycogen weight come back. This will not go away but it is not fat and is a sign that your body is properly fueled. If you aren't yet at maintenance and this is just water retention from a new workout to should be gone in a week or two.

I prefer to see people using a towel between them and the bench than people wiping with spray.

Dehydration was my guess too. Maybe an electrolyte imbalance caused by the quick drop of carbs and prob a large drop in salt intake too. This imbalance can cause low blood volume over time.

Don't care about age as long as they are legal and we have chemistry, and they must have an attractive playmate for my hubby

Eat fat! I have noticed if my fats are too low for a few days I find myself hitting the sugar hard. Stay hydrated! Sugar is a carb and helps the body retain water. If you are habitually dehydrated you may feel an intense desire for hi carb food to help your body store every bit of water it can.

700 is prob a good guess Depending on many things it could be as low as 400 or as high as 1000 or more.

Only if they want to waste money! The dr really won't do anything but tape it and give 800mg Motrin.

Dr can't do anything about a broken toe. Just tape it and take some ibuprofen. I broke both my pinkie toes within 24hrs of each other. As soon as I could get them in a shoe I was lifting again (~2days). Running and other aerobic activities took longer, but I was fully back in 2weeks with only slight pain once in a while…

You reduce the amount of muscle you lose on your cut. Just lift as well and you will have quite a successful cut.
