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.

Meh, the poster is just trying to ruffle feathers -- or sell something -- and disguise it as "ooooh what do YOU do for weight loss?"

Normally I'd say something deliciously chocolate-y, gooey and tasty -- but today -- the treat was actually fruit. Like A LOT of fruit -- 100's of grams (peaches, mangoes, grapes, chewy dehydrated banana pieces -- Barnana brand is AMAZING!)

I've tried several banana recipes and the consistency? ICK!!!! They just aren't pancakes -- your's do look pretty though I have found a delish protein packed pancake though that has whole wheat flour, plain greek yogurt and egg whites. Filling and the whole thing is like 350cals. So worth it haha Nice having alternatives…

Some people are affected by a lower carb intake. That could be it. But wow - 20lbs in SIX weeks :o :o :o Thats a definite impact on your body no matter how you dice it. It might help to allow your body to catch up. Meaning, maybe back off the working out to 3 times a week to allow your body to calm itself. Because working…

Not sure how many have signed up -- but I'd be game!!! This sounds fun AND motivating!! :)

IMO, you don't have to answer to ANYONE!!! Simply yourself. If your bf is trying to help, that's one thing, but this doesn't sound helpful when you have to hide, lie and feel shameful about weight ... of all things ... THIS isn't something you should be hiding/lying/or feeling shameful about. Nothing for that matter, but…

I haven't had McD's in so long! Not for any particular reason, just maybe only go out to eat once a month because of schedule etc. But oh yea, I'd totally be down for some McD's!!! mmmmmmm

Oh oh -- and start pickling your own! SO EASY! Google it. best . thing . ever!!!! :p

I looooooooove boiled eggs with A1 sauce on them. Like a little dollop, take a bite, add more and so on. Soooo good! And I'll also chop up an egg or two and add 1/2 of a diced avocado with it. Something about that combo is really good. I see some people mash it up, but I like the texture of each ingredient.

Honestly, its hard to be celibate and not change other behaviors ... ie getting smashed with random chicks, going back together to either one's place etc. Sex complicates EVERYTHING. I don't know about your faith, but that is why God designed sex within marriage. Multiple partners, multiple times a week, etc just makes for…

Honestly, you look younger, happier and of course healthier!!! Your skin is glowing and well, you look victorious! And I'm with you. Maintaining is faaaaaar more difficult and I will gain and lose 10-15lbs but never back to what I was. It's simply hard to "be on" all the time and like you said, the colder/darker months are…

Tip? Bake the zucchini just a little bit and then blot out the moisture. Makes it so much better when not watery/wet. In my opinion of course.

^^ agreed! I love taco stuffed zucchini! And other good stuffed zucchini combos are cheeseburger (hamburger, LOTS of cheese, pickles and onions! yum) and what's also good is pizza stuffed ones and enchilada stuff. All so so good!

Not really... in my opinion. I too drink protein powders ... not all the time ... but through out the week. Especially when I'm lacking in protein. However, with that said, it takes a lot longer for your stomach to break down chicken, veggies etc over a protein shake. Therefore, when ppl DRINK their meals, they often…

It does get confusing. Especially when people say that after you lift, you continue to burn calories long afterwards unlike with cardio because of repairing muscles etc. I know that with all the running I do, there is still "muscle repair" going on from cardio too. All the replies have been great. I too agree that #1 is…

How often and how long are you lifting?? I hurt my back 2 months ago (still painful) but its been so long since I've SERIOUSLY lifted, I'm just not even sure where to start anymore. I've done stronglifts 5x5 and was honestly just bored with it?? I run quit a bit, do strength training and HIIT/circuit training with…

I'm not sure you actually are looking for help?? Maybe just baiting people? #1 - makes no sense to work out that hard #2 - if you truly feel THAT bad, I don't think you would be working out -- especially not that hard?? You know the answer to your question. Chill on the workout, heal, appetite will come back.

Grilled PB & J sandwiches?? Aaaaaa-mazing!

How salty are your meals?? Sometimes a salty meal will then cause you to crave that creamy, melty delicious stuff :) I say buy some that are individually wrapped, plan your cals for it, then eat it. It wouldn't be a craving that would always be there -- it will taper off.

^^^Agreed! Give yourself that pep-talk ... THEN PUT THE DAMN THING ON AND WEAR IT!! And wear it PROUDLY! Where is that self-loving, cheeky girl in the profile picture? And furthermore, let your 3 year-old SEE her mama rock confidence and beauty. After all, I know you want her to feel that way for herself -- so let her see…

wow! :o For realz, you don't even look like the same person!!! Fabulous job girlfriend!

absolutely!!! I typically drink 300cals a day in the form of almond milk, heavy cream in my coffee, etc. And its even more if I were to categorize my protein shakes as a drink. Absolutely log them. Some drinks could be 100's of cals and definitely contribute to weight gain or lack of loss without considering them.

Without more info, its hard for anyone to help you. IF, you are actually WANTING help. What did you eat? What are your daily calorie allowances? How much exercise are you doing? How much are you drinking? If your really wanting insight and help, you have to be honest with yourself and be more transparent so ppl can help.

Accepted challenge :) Used 15lb weights 30 sec rest in between 5 sets of 10 (had to take a 60sec rest before the last set) Whew! I felt it haha Good challenge :)

I agree with what ppl have posted. There is nothing wrong if let's say "I'm not hungry today" (and actually not hungry rather than just telling yourself that) and not eating much. But combine that with a day-in/day-out practice of not eating enough? Yea, your body will suffer and you will eventually find that you have no…

I'm game for a challenge! :) - I have around 10-12lbs to lose - Over three years ago I lost around 35lbs and have gained around 10lbs back over the last 1.5yrs (I easily maintain at 150-155, but feel better at 140 and would like to be about 135 -- never been there) - I have my calorie target set at 1600 and I typically run…

My fav way is cottage cheese (plain) topped with chopped avocado, tomatoes and salted sunflower seed. Seriously, DELICIOUS!!!
