That person is me! It's crazy, because I've lost weight while counting calories. I knew this was working. But I got sick of it and when I gained a lil weight back, I started looking for different ways. I've tried different pills. Sure, they've helped surpressing appetite but I kept on eating. Now I'm back at counting…

When people make a healthy alternative of a recipe, but it's even more calories. Or when they lie about the results. (Not tasty, not cooked)

Please don't call it sabotage. It's politeness. Just say "No, thank you. I'm fine." :)

Went to the gym after not going several times. The first thing I saw was a guy humping, rubbing his d on the ground in the middle of the room. Ah... Good to be back.

I have Hashimoto's disease. It does effect you greatly. Your thyroid is very important. I used to feel very sad and didn't have the energy to go trough one simple day. Let alone to exercise. It all disappeared when I got the right meds. I've lost around 26lbs now! Please, see your doctor about this. :)

When you say "I eat better and move more" as how you lost weight, you will get positive comments. "eat less, move more", not so much...

Here, a 2kg bag of frozen fries are cheaper than a 2kg bag of plain potatos. Garlic-butter bread is cheaper than bread without the garlic-butter. Especially fresh fruits and veggies are expensive. If you want to buy them frozen, they have sugar, sauces and other stuff added. Some people are talking about "junk-taxing". Why…

Thank you all very much! :heart: They don't say it in my face, reffering to me personally. But they are saying these things about women, without realising that I am one of the women they are talking about! When I tell them that it's offensive, they try to sugarcoat it. One of them even said "If your goal is to lift your…

@kimv1188 :heart: Their comments really hurts. I can't change my body shape, I can only try to get healthy, fit and strong.

Nobody told me that my slimmer body would get more critique than my bigger body. People saying that cup A-E are "no real boobs" and that slimmer women aren't "real women". Lifting is for lesbians and muscles on a woman is manly. I used to get more confident as I was losing more weight. Now I am getting insecure.…

My cyclus is very random, having the Mirena. One day very heavy, next day suddenly nothing, few days very lightly... I was hoping to hit 56.5kg and suddenly I was 59kg. It made me cry to almost hit 60kg again. :cry: I just want to see any progress on the scale. Measuring with a tape doesn't work for me, since I don't get…

It's better to workout the same muscles 2x or more per week. If you just workout a muscle once a week, it wouldn't be enough. So 3x full body is better.

Sorry, my stomach is really bothering me. :( Is 4kg/ 9lbs really going to make the difference? I've been seeing advertisements about liposuctions, but I don't want to. Especially when it's so close.

In this case, the bike is the best because you enjoy it more and it doesn't hurt you. :) Stick to whatever you like!

Wow, thank you very much. It seems like it is certainly possible, but it depends on the person. I'll to not get discouraged again. Because all this strength training, running and eating have more health benefits. :) @rainbowbow Great! I hold my fat in my stomach too. It looks like my stomach is starting to "budge" at this…

"220lbs is just my natural weight." I can't believe that being obese is seen as natural.

Thank you for your responses! When I hold in my stomach and flex, you can see the obliques too. But not the "ab crack". I guess I have to continue losing weight and see what happens.

My birdie pets only motivate me to eat even faster.

Yesterday I saw Hulk working out at the gym. He pulled out his pants and went mad crazy at the treadmill, full speed at max hill. This guy looked like 100kg pure muscle mass, he even didn't had room for his arms to swing. Like wtf, I was afraid he would drop dead in his exercises. :anguished:

Sometimes it's hard to workout alone. Luckily there are nice people in the gym to correct you if you're doing it wrong. :)

SW: 150 CW: 127 GW: 116 5"4 20 yo Strength training 3x a week, running 2x a week. Thyroïd disease

SW: 150 CW: 127 GW: 116 5"4 My in laws noticed after losing 16 lbs but they didn't dare to ask. Half a year ago mother in law asked and since then, they keep saying that I have lost so much and shouldn't lose anymore, etc. They are getting concerned, but don't want me to explain my goals. So I am not talking about how I…

Sometimes it's relieving to cry "unfair!" and then move on. :)

Today, I saw one of the trainers working out in her free time. And yet she still helped people, without being asked to. Very nice lady. :)

The cup idea seems very neat to me. They are good for the environment. because you use the same cup. That makes them cheaper too. You don't have to empty them for a long time. And they seem more hygienic, because you can clean them. But I can't even handle tampons, let alone a cup. :astonished:

Deadlift @2:03 https://youtu.be/RyJbvWAh6ec?t=123 Rautek @0.03 https://youtu.be/6g27JCPCP4A?t=3 These moves look very similar to me and that's why I think that deadlifting could help you out when you're trying to move a person into safety with the Rautek. Because you're having more strength in your legs. @sijomial Indeed,…

Thank you for your posts. You're fast. :) At this moment I don't plan to go to extremes. I've been using the machines for strenght training, but now I realise that actual weight lifting might be more useful. I'm doing strength training 3x a week, trying to do cardio 2/3x a week and eating enough protein. It would be…

They have decorated our gym with Christmas stuff. It looks out of place, but still nice. :)
