Two recent ones:* Yesterday was weigh in, and it was the first week I actually gained weight, not lost in 2.5 months. It was only a little (.6 lbs), but normally that would really turn me off. Instead, I'm as determined as ever and being more patient about it now that I'm closer to goal weight. * I got legit hand callouses…

I've reached the point where people are telling me I look good and assuming I'm done losing weight. However, I'm gunning for that overachiever, fit look--the one where you actually look like you work out. Hoping to reach it by the end of the year!

For losing weight, meal timing doesn't matter. However, for maintaining energy, blood surgar, and reducing appetite, I find meal timing important. I eat pretty similar to you -- 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, and i eat pretty much every 3-4 hours. Since i've started this, i noticed that I no longer have dips of energy or…

This is awesome! Way to go! I have the same problem when sick/injured, so I know how tough it is to stay away. Get better soon :)

Keep up the hard work everyone. Thanksgiving is just around the corner now! 36 days til turkey day: SW: 167.8 CW: 144.2 GW: 135 TL: 23.6 After only losing .5 the previous week, I suddenly dropped 5lbs over the last week. I think a lot of it was due to TOM water weight, but still encouraging :)

Eat your dinner for breakfast too :)

I built my boyfriend a personal full-body workout plan the other day, because he goes to the gym with me on Saturdays. He looks at it, says it's a lot, then says "I guess I'm not the only one that wants me to have muscles!" He's never admitted to wanting muscles before! Success!

"You can do anything you set your mind to" or "Nothing is impossible if you work hard enough" is a strange one. On one hand, I find it to be a empowering phrase reminding me that I am in control of my life and what I do with it if I'm willing to put in the work for what I want. On the other hand, "hard work" is problematic…

I confess I don't use MFP to track calories at all anymore--even though I'm still losing weight--but I like the forums for all the support.

I saw a movie and got lunch with my dad the other day. Couple of NSVs here: - As soon as my dad saw me, he exclaaimed "Damn, when did you get so skinny?" I told him i still got more to lose. - He kept offering to buy popcorn and ice cream for snack, and i kept declining since i brought my own healthy snacks. - we went to…

You all keep me going! I've been sick all week so I haven't been doing as well as I usually do. That said, I'm recovering and getting back on track. SW: 167.8 CW: 149.5 GW: 138 TL: 18.3

Vodka or Tequila straight

I'm experiencing something similar right now! To be honest, I gave in and ate some cookies on my worst day that didn't fit into calories, but I've was able to limit the amount I had as opposed to binging the whole bag and buying a pizza or something. Hope you recover fully soon!

My workouts typically take 75ish minutes. They go up to 90minutes on the days I take UrbanKick classes after lifting (no way around it). I run for 10min warm up (usually about a mile), stretch for 5 min, lift, cardio for 25min, cooldown/stretch for 5 min. My 4-day split currently looks like this: Tuesday:…

I do DB so I can be sure my left and right sides are doing even work.

Started lifting for the first time in my life this year! I've always been athletic (soccer, martial arts, kickboxing), but I've always been too scared to lift. I went from a 3-day newb split, to a 5-day newb split, and now I'm switching to a 4-day intermediate split. To progress!

Ill be MIA a few days due to illness. Work hard for me!!

Got lazy yesterday, so did legs and shoulders both today knowing i have a rest day tomorrow. Switching to a four day split on Tuesday.
