Wow! Good job on 40 Lbs, I agree with weight lifting and resistance training. After I lost a 50 Lbs with calorie counting and walking I started weight lifting. I got great beginner programs and techniques at bodybuilding.com .... they have great information for women getting into lifting and resistance training. Keep up…

Thanks everyone :) <3

This ^^^^ that's exactly how to lol .... and I love bodybuilding.com ;) ;) ;)

Agreed , I see it all the time... my guess ( just a guess) is that the Doc feels they are at a breaking point and need to immediately make changes to prevent serious health issues.

Makes sense

Yes, Jag (my co-worker) does not find it funny either, however he very open about talking about it. His disorder is strong enough cause memory loss and finds it hard to track when he's "not himself". He teases me that it's half the battle for me. I just found it interesting.

a lot of people don't eat back calories burned, including myself... it acts as a slight buffer for inaccurate logging and going over on my daily goals (for my self), If you feel good and not hungry your net looks good to me, but I am far from an expert just experienced.

An apple produces the same energy as a cup of coffee, coffee hits your nerves better but an apple is great energy food.

You can do it Jill, stick with it, you've done before :)

:# so true

Good job OP!

I wouldn't even consider this a slip up, the weight gain will drop back off in no more than 5 days of eating well, if I barely over eat and skip exercise for a few days I can gain 10 LBS in water retention and full belly of food, I start drinking lots of water and and following my goals and before I know it is am seeing…

I love peanut butter, I wish a serving size was 1/2 a cup not 15 grams lol :D :D

I personally have a tried a lot of diet pills and supplements. Including raspberry keytones, ... not one of them had any noticeable effects. That's when I found this App and service, it has changed my life ... I had no idea how may calories in was eating a day... I was blown away that I would max out with sugar before noon…

I like to wear full body compression outfits on heavy lifting days

Butt implants are trending now-a-days Lol JK ;) Some females gain a lot muscle quickly and get that round boots you seek when starting resistance training and others just get smaller and leaner, It will be up to your genetics I believe... let's hope you have the right ones :)

Definitely works for me :)

It's next to impossible for women to "bulk up" as women do not have enough testosterone. Check out this cool article about women and lifting. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/girls-get-your-guns-why-women-should-lift-weights.html

I don't think 5 would do it but guaranteed 6 would

I'm in starvation mode all the time and have gone completely catabolic... last knight as I was watching TV I noticed that my biceps we taking small but significant bites out of my triceps!!! And even worse all my leg muscles teamed up together and ate up all of my calf muscle and left behind just the fat and bone.…

Great visual :D

They foods you eat can have a huge impact on your metabolism plain and simple http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/10_metabolism_foods.htm

You can exercise/walk/lift/run for a metabolic boost (long walks can have a 2 days effect on your metabolism) You can add in spices keyan/Red…

I wear fitted ball caps and I dropped two head sizes lol .... feet stayed the same :) ankles are half the size they were

Sometimes lifters will hit a lifting plateau... make sure you a mixing up your lifting and progressively increasing your weights. Keep your rest times minimal in-between sets and maybe add in super sets. I like light super sets... for example if I'm working on my chest I like to bench press as heavy as I can with being…

You could still eat .... 4 cups of raw spinach is like 60 cal ;)

After 60 lbs lost I thought I had loose skin .... but as I continued to loose weight it continued to dissipate. And it turns out what I thought was loose skin was just more belly fat that hang loosely and sagged. There is some sort of pinch test a lot of MFP'ers can explain that can be used to determine if you have loose…

I chew gum when I get the bordem craves.... like when watching TV or a slow day at work.... I also drink water which helps sometimes
