Glad you brought this up, don’t even trip, I used to be super worried about that, cause I have the puppet lines, researched all that, stressed, etc. But I ws like f it, I wanna be thin, if I get a hot body I can get away with an ugly face. Turns out the folds and wrinkles did get worse, but then I lost some more weight and…

Oh yeah, Im always dreading holidays, but I've been working extra hard in anticipation to that. I'm planning on letting loose and get right back to it in as couple days.

@orngnerdz I struggled with other way harsher addictions and it's the same with food, with lesser social consequences. I've found out it's not about self control but little tricks, like filling yourself up with nutritious food so you're less likely to be tempted. Also, I'm addicted to junk food so getting rid of it, not…

@jgnatca I just love the diminish and redirect strategy. Im already dreading not eating my Sunday cheat day breakfast already, I know it's not rational. But this strategy gave me hope. Diminish, it's just food and Redirect, wow!!! Never even considered what I'm missing out on. That drive for reward from food is so…

@AimJolie, totally!!! I've experienced exactly that!!!

@GaleHawkins This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about!!! You totally get it. Thanks, now I know cravings will lose intensity. How did you handle friends and family trying to force you to eat? Or the mandatory food that goes with most gatherings and celebrations?

Just man up, people talk *kitten* all the time, you have to learn to not let other people's opinions define you or how your see yourself. Not even your friends. This amazing accomplishment should fill you up with confidence and self belief, just tell your friend "*kitten* you" so he'll think twice next time and immediately…

That's the thing, if I eat a bit I'll crave even more, and more and more. It's not normal or sensible behavior. It's the sort of behavior found in drug addicts. Hoping some of you have had similar experiences. Im kind of happy, and hopeful, that I can recognize it and excited that I'll overcome it

There's no magic trick. If you fast the next day you run the risk of being hungry, then you keep on starving until you break down and eat junk again. If you try to play with numbers then that can get tricky and the mind's an expert at playing tricks. The best thing to do is forgive yourself and start next day as normal.

Great videos, you look great!!!

Thank you so much!!! I feel silly now but I’m glad I asked, now I have the information to back up my choices.

Thank you so much guys!!!! Todays protein shake will be even more delicious!!!

My Powerbeats3 Wireless went out mid workout, :( I thought they were sweat resistant, or maybe I took it too far. The volume controller was drenched in sweat. Apple care was extremely nice, they’re going to exchange them. I had started tucking them inside my beanie, but that wasn’t enough, I think I’ll push the volume knob…

That's pretty cool, must be a trip passing by you. Awareness in open terrain is a must.

Thank you!!! Those are the ones I bought!!!

Thank you so much for your comments guys!!! I bought the arm band when I first started and thought I was missing out for never actually using it. I usually put it in my pocket (sometimes falls off) or leave it on the floor by the equipment I’m working on. Never thought about leaving it in the gym bag, that’s a great idea…

Those are way cool!!!

Did get to try them out and they’re great!!! They don’t get in the way, they don’t get full of sweat and the bass is incredible, it’s like i’m hearing songs for the first time.

Thanks for the help guys!!! Needed to hear from real people and not the ones paid to make those top ten lists. Went for the powerbeats, they were on special at best buy. Hopefully I will get to try them tonight :)

Thank you so much for your advise!!! I’ve had gout since I was 26, I’ve been doing my best to avoid the wrong types of food and taking nimesulide for the pain. I was freaking out partly cause of that medicine, which is banned in first world countries. Thanks to this scare I started taking better care of my gout, the doctor…

Thank you so much for your support guys!!! (the pain in I felt in my lower back wasn’t kidney related, like many of you said the kidneys aren’t even there, felt silly when the doctor pointed out their position).

Update: Got all the lab results today and had my doctors appointment. I'm fine, no diabetes, no liver nor kidney disease. No cancer, no cysts, not even kidney stones. I do have high levels of uric acid, which is manageable. Thank you all so much for your support, you have no idea how much it meant in my moment of…

Thank you all for your comments, I'm a bit more calm now. This sure makes you appreciate your body, it's incredible all the things we take for granted. I'll keep you posted :)

The doctor didn't tell me anything yet, ordered a sonogram, urine and blood tests. Going back on Thursday.

I sure hope so, counting the hours until my appointment.

I'm already panicked and my doctors appointment isn't until 6:30 p.m. Asked here for help to try and find out if others might have had the symptoms during weightloss or weightlifting. Thanks for all your help guys, I'll update this after my consultation.

One thing, your dad is the coolest!!!

Just wow!!

Freaking awesome!!

I sent you a request.
