  • ^^Maybe that she'd learn "hmmm, I don't like the way I felt" Duh?! I think it's funny that so many are bashing her when she's curious to try something new. Good, bad or different ... I think you guys are just crazy to attack her. She bought it -- is going to try it -- and wondered if others have. Seems pretty simple to me.…
  • hahaha well of course they are?? Never said they weren't. I personally like the taste of a homemade juice. Would I do a "cleanse?" Nope But I'm not this lady and for her doing it for TWO days? Who cares??
  • Yea, ppl on here can tend to NOT read the question your asking and offer "advice" that you did not ask for. To the point where your like wow -- some really think their "experts" on nutrition. haha Just laugh it off. For two days, you'll be find. Not sure that will be long enough to make you crazy with craving that chewing…
  • Ha! haha Yep, having a sweet pot for dinner with skinless drumsticks and roasted cabbage steaks. I love baked sweet potatoes with nothing but salt. They already taste sweet and creamy to me. I feel like I get a big bang for my buck when I eat them because they are satisfying, and to me, lower calorie food choice that makes…
  • I bought "the good" candy of Twix, snickers, etc LAAAAAAAWD HELP!!!!
  • For some reason this makes me laugh hahaha :D I mean, sure, I get what your saying but by all means, cough in your damn hands and not my face! If they cough in their hands, or elbow, who cares ... all you should worry about is making sure YOU practice good hand hygiene! You'll be fine.
  • ^^The person that called pilates "kitten cardio" has clearly never actually done it. Nothing "kitten" about it. Keep doing what you enjoy. The strength and flexibility that'll you'll gain? Priceless and will (in my personal opinion) serve you better in the long run of life. Kudos to having something you enjoy! :)
  • I'm 5'6" and almost 34yrs old Originally I went from around 175 to 140 and I was looking really good at that weight. Slacked - ate A LOT haha (just didn't care as much I guess?) Bounced back up to 155-160 which is around what I am right now. It's not horrible on me, but feel more confident and better in the 140's range.…
  • Blackbeans with cumin & cheese broiled in the oven, topped with salsa and served with soft corn tortillas and sliced salted/peppered tomato It was sooooo good!
  • Over 10lbs/month lost!!! You're on a roll :) And look at your fabulous smile -- that's the best part!!!
  • NO POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS !!!!![/quote] I don't get it? It's a guy with a messy bun. Nothing less, nothing more. [/quote] ^^^I'm with you! Whoever flagged you is super sensitive. You didn't say ANYTHING political. People are just amazingly sensitive. Annoying. Edit: It was probably pie_eyes --> their account was deactivated.
  • I do a lot of FitnessBlender workouts. They are free, super effective, give you a calorie burn range and tons to choose from. I'm here in TN and yea, disgusting outside, even at 6am.
  • ^^^For realz! :D No one disputes that a person's body changes when they lose weight, but sorry sista, women & men alike do have different SKELETAL frames. If you ever dissected a human body, then you'd know first hand. It truly is amazing, and I considered it an honor, to be able to see this so many times first hand during…
  • Eat away. Sounds like maybe doing some more digging on nutrition might be helpful for you. Meaning, there really isn't a "good" food or a "bad" food. Things change if you're following a specific diet, if you are a binge-eating kinda person and have "trigger" foods, if certain foods don't fill you up and you end up eating…
  • Man Danielle, I am SO SORRY to hear about your health. No doubt this is stressful and in a way, devastating. I wish there was something I could do to help you. I know I will be praying for you because this just sounds like a mess. Please please love on yourself and know that all you can do is your best. I always take the…
  • Uhm, no weight lost is worth all that nonsense. I'm not sure if you're asking an actual question? And I'm not trying to be nasty -- truly -- but thats just not enough food on the reg and let alone if you "hit it hard" at the gym for an hr. I agree with Calliope610 -- most people will direct you where to go or what to read…
  • ^^ Yes, exactly yes!!! I am the same way. I have been EXTREMELY successful with losing weight, and even mostly maintaining (wt goes up/down 5-10lbs and I'm ok with that). But I always want whatever it is ... whatever is so enticing. Full or not.
  • ^^ simply saying it's a lack of education is also grossly incorrect. IMO. Trust me, I'm educated. Very much so in nutritional, exercise etc. But doesn't make it any easier to control that "excessive eating." Not in the slightest. I think unless you've REALLY had an issue with food? It's perhaps easier to say "that person…
  • Yep! I do many races -- you'll do GREAT! And geez, congrats on the fast wt loss and huge improvement in time! You've REALLY done well these last 6wks. Super impressive. Your time, as it is right now? You'll "beat" A LOT of people. Trust me haha That's not your goal I'm sure, but you won't be a burden, you won't be "last"…
  • ^^ me too!! I use to think 1cup was PLENTY for anyone (and thats an 8-10oz) oh my my my was I wrong haha 2-3 is my happy place nowadays haha I at least accompany that with 10-15 glasses of water for the day so its all good right? haha
  • oooooo what's Spanish style coffee??
  • ^^ totally agree. If it works for you (meaning, not eating things at all) more power to the person. OP just simply didn't sound like they really wanted to give up junk food except to lose weight. From people I've known, just giving things up simply to lose weight, didn't work out so well, but hey, for some? I'm sure it…
  • Never thought to use gelatin like you two -- does it have a weird texture when just eating it like that??
  • And yes, you can build muscle on a deficit -- eat your macros -- get plenty of protein, stay hydrated, rest well and you will gain muscle
  • Perhaps you should stick to your 1800 cals for a week or two WHILE doing this new routine of lifting. If you are losing too quickly, then up your cals to 1850 or 1900. If you aren't losing, then you have your answer. It sounds like your not 100% set with what routines you'll be doing, when, etc? Meaning, you might not be…
  • These are both GREAT ideas!!! Quiksylver296 -- do you blend it together or dip your strawberries in it?
  • ^^ I'm with CindyFooWho I DO EAT back my cals -- but I only claim 50%-75% of them. Its rewarding to work hard, burn cals and enjoy food items. I would totally claim that as circuit training and claim a portion. Then if hungry, eat those cals. Main idea? Move. Even if you're dying during/after the workout - claim cals…
  • how awful!!! food is soooo expensive! man, so sorry :( What a crappy way to start the day :((( Do you have renters insurance? Sometimes that can cover things like that! If you do, its worth checking to get reimbursed for the food
  • And honestly, you don't want to cut the things you enjoy. Life is too short. If it triggers you to binge or something of that nature, then that is different. But if you like sandwiches, start making smarter choices, swapping for something that perhaps is just as tasty, but more nutritious and/or less calories. But if you…
  • To be sure, WEIGH & LOG what you eat -- regardless of what you eat -- that'd tell you if you're eating too much or not? After a week or two, you will do 1 of 3 things: lose, stay the same weight or gain. Then tweet things.
