There will always be people who say "well it doesn't bother me so there aren't any problems"... 🙄

Exactly. 👍

Chit chat. Fun and games. 👍

No.

I'd pay for them to stop breaking things around here 🤦‍♀️

Just seems like another form of body shaming... 🤷‍♀️

👍 Good luck

Some women are built that way. The same reason also some women get "cartoonish" sized boobs. To each their own. I know I have a butt that most people think is fake due to my waist ratio and heavy lifting lifestyle, I hope no one thinks I am cartoonish. *shrug*

BB shrugs are good too... totally forgot about those. Lmao @ lies :laugh:

I do farmer's carries

What matters for weight loss happens in the kitchen... exercise is for health. Find an exercise you enjoy doing (I love bowling and tennis), some resistance training and it will be second nature. MFP is designed for you to eat exercise calories back, some find the burns high and only eat 1/2 back, you have to experiment…

It's been 15 years... I would hope so :laugh:

Go to goals, plug in your stats, choose "lose 1 lb a week", eat the calories provided in any combination you choose, profit.

This... there's a reason why folks always need to restart their diet. 🤷‍♀️

Balance is good... deprivation is not so good. Fast weight loss is never good... loose skin and all that... good luck you got this 👍

This... eat more... enjoy the wine :drinker:

I lifted heavy things then put them back down the whole time I was losing. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks 😊 I also had a decent fitness base from being a former semi pro tennis player and a semi pro bowler. When I started I went straight into the weight room and started lifting heavy and did Stronglifts 5×5 as my first program. I had over 60 lbs to lose from the beginning and had high blood pressure. I still ignored the…

Free is always better for me 🤷‍♀️

I lifted weights from the start of my weight loss journey. I didn't care much about the scale, I only cared about getting stronger. Now fast forward almost 10 years later, I have no loose skin, muscles are fire, and having 6 kids, no belly apron. I advocate lifting from the start for these reasons. 🤷‍♀️

I'm a huge fan of pan fried shishito peppers... I can snack on those all day

Stress is number one... and numbers 2 through 10

Over exercising is never good and the fastest way to burn out. 🤷‍♀️

Glad you found what works for you 👍

This 💯... other people's opinions about me matter none

Wow. :noway:

Agreed... pelvic floor exercises are a great idea

Lol no... not every woman gains fat in their thighs. 🙄 And you cannot spot reduce. Embrace your body shape for what it is. 🤷‍♀️
