Is there a way to delete threads? I must fail at writing, because my complaints are in no way about her. they are about my lack of research when I began this stupid journey.

Nutritionist. But, more than a weekend class.

Yay for always being late in posts! I did this for the first time, but I only did half. I was an idiot and was taking photos of everyone else doing it while I was attempting it, so naturally I didn't push myself as hard as I could have. I felt it at the end, sure, but I had a lot left in me. So, that was disappointing. He…

Hey Akrynski, hope things have gotten a little better for you! It was/is my experience that I'm still sucky, but just not as sucky as before. I'm about 6 months in. I love the heck out of it, but, I'm still bad. I'm slow and last at everything, I use low weights, I still can't even do a proper push up. But, I've tried to…

Man, thanks for the insight and thinking material. I have a very hard time listening to my body, and she has been 100% upfront about the need to. So, I'll take that as a good sign. Since this is so hard for me, she's just being very supportive. But you make a good point, if things don't start turning around, I may have to…

Use MFP from your phone's browser. You have all desktop abilities. You can't add photos through the app. Dunno if this is android-specific, but the desktop site is the only way to upload photos on an android phone.

Man. It didn't look like a lot when I was measuring it out. Greens, chicken, peppers, a few berries and tomatoes, yogurt dressing. I've been eating this bowl for an hour and a half :( SO FREAKING FULL.

Carrots, sweet potatoes, chicken, greens, cucumber, tomato, pomegranate seeds. And a coke zero, bc I need to feed that addiction.

Bunch of stuff for lunch: chicken tossed in buffalo sauce, carrots, tomatoes, apples, kale and spinach, some ranch dressing (bc I'm a sucker).

Wasnt sure where to post this - mini goal or nsv - but: I (safely) moved from a max back squat of 145 to 165 last Thursday. Then this morning I moved to 195. I've finally found my 1rm! Yay for pushing yourself! The last 2 or 3 months I've been transitioning from a focus on nutrition to a focus on the fun things (like…

The last mini goal was to just finish my thesis and make it to graduation w/o gaining. Complete! New goal: stick to my fitness plan for May, and slide back into the habit of cooking frequently. By June, I should be back to normal, and can focus on weight loss again!

my take on vanity sizing: it isn't that I want to fit into a specific brand's clothing. I don't care about brand. It's that I want to buy clothing that doesn't cost a billion dollars, and it's still embarrassing (to me) to have to shop at a special store to find clothing that fits appropriately. Torrid jeans are like,…

You are so *kitten* awesome. Good luck in school and in being a trainer! With this kind of dedication and self-love, you will do well.

For me, I've got 1 week left to finish my thesis. I am close, like, 15 pages or so, from finishing, and only just now feeling positive about finishing on time with a good grade. I'm looking forward to ending: nights of 4 hours sleep, a bag of chips for dinner, a pizza for all meals on a weekend. I'm looking forward to…

I was so excited that I fit into old navy size 18 pants for the first time in ages, that I bought 3 pair. Well *kitten*. You're absolutely right.

Thanks a lot everyone, I appreciate the comments. Now I have an idea of the things I should note that are useful and measurable. I'll stick with the notebook and see how it goes!

I've found Alex, @themacrobarista on Instagram. My life is changed. De-freaking-icious low carb, low cal, low sugar options to try. It's nice to have this laid out so that on the rare occasions I do crave something sweet, I'm covered!

You'll be in that sucker when it's too hot to wear it! Keep on keeping on!

Sorry if you feel you won't be posting again because people have tried to a- educate you based on what you said in the OP and some other posts, and b- provide other alternatives based on those posts. You did get defensive, and they did get a little condensing. It really does all come down to wording. If someone is looking…

@Visage999 Please tell me you still wear the awesome cosplay! Ladies, ya'll are absolutely killing it.

Yes!! It was so cool to have so many people there competing on teams. I think it was 22 people total. Was the bessstttt!

This past saturday was an in-house comp at our gym. The AM folks vs the PM folks (I'm PM). It was my first ever thing like that, and it was amazing! I've not really pushed myself like that before, bc I'm usually super reserved and overprotective about my lungs and making sure I do everything right. One of the events…
