Congrats on the new addition!

Hey Christopher! You've come to the right place - you'll get a ton of support here & people will help you out as much as possible if you have any questions.
-
Hey Kevin, that's awesome man! Good luck here & in your class
-
Just remember feelings aren't facts. Curious, you mentioned "throwing" - Highland Games type throwing?
-
OK but the real question here is...what kinda bike you you have?
-
I turned 40 back in March. You got this!
-
Hey April, it sounds like you've made awesome progress so far! Keep up the good work!
-
Welcome aboard! What's your major?
-
@AnnPT77 heck I'm not hypothyroid and I still appreciate you posting that link - learn something new everyday!
-
glad your dad is doing well! Cancer sucks!
-
Whoever these people are, stop listening to them. That's utter nonsense.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Welcome to the iron tribe :)
-
Thank you for your service & best wishes for success with your goals!

Sports bras, in any quantity, will not help this. Breasts are mostly fat tissue; just as you cannot exclusively target stomach fat to lose when dieting/exercising, you also cannot retain fat in any particular area of your choosing. This is why many (or most; at the pro level I'd venture to say it's almost universal) female…

Hey Gencarol, I'm Jen, also from NC, but on the other end of the state. Best wishes to you!

Welcome & congrats on kicking cancer's *kitten*! You made it through that so no doubt you can accomplish anything you put your mind to!

One kinda-sweet thing that I haven't seen mentioned here yet is taking some sugar-free cheesecake flavor Jello pudding mix and stirring it into some fat-free Greek yogurt (may need a splash of milk, as it may be THICK); it turns into a cheesecake-y treat that is also high in protein, so makes a good, healthy snack that may…

well now, THAT is debatable ;) But for clarification - OP, yours is definitely NOT a dumb question! Best of luck to you!

The thought of a spinal injury is terrifying. Are you all healed-up now? Cleared by your doc for activity? As the (always wonderful) @AnnPT77 said, if you're still in the process of healing, please don't jump into severe calorie restriction - your body needs the energy for repairs. Eat at maintenance or a very modest…

That is an AWESOME accomplishment! Congrats!

In addition to what @courtscan2 said...I had to Google it because I'd never heard of it. The first 10 days are some sort of "detox" or "cleanse." That's a HYOUGE red flag. Unless you have a condition where your liver is no longer functioning, your body already has a perfectly good system for "detoxing." Any sort of diet…

just here to say hi & I like your profile pic - you look very...enthusiastic :)
-
hey congrats on the solid start!
-
thank you <3

A couple photos taken this past Saturday (I do a bi-weekly self check-in), 09/10/22 morning: These are photos in maintenance & are roughly 12-ish pounds up from the condition I dieted down into for my photoshoot (if you can see my profile pic, that was from 03/12 of this year after a pretty hard (but not insane) 10-week…

I SWEAR when I first read/responded, I only saw the first line, hence the chop house remark! My bad! OK, pull up a chair, as this could get long-winded... I've been overweight (over-fat), but never WAY over fat). I'm drawing the distinction between the two because right now, I'm overweight by medical standards (BMI), and…

The definition of metabolism is: the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. If your metabolism were to stop, you'd die. Immediately. It doesn't "kick in" at any particular time; it's constant, 24/7/365 functions going on inside your body, every second of every day, until you kick…

I prefer the chophouse...mmmmm steak....bloody-rare though, please ;)
-
So in one breath, you (not a doctor) encourage this guy to immediately seek prescription pills...then turn right around and say "there are no magic pills." And NO, he (nor anyone else) needs to do a "green juice diet" for ANY length of time. You know what "cleaning your guts" is a euphemism for? Pooping your *kitten*…

Hey there, I'm not personally LGBT but I am the proud parent of a non-binary (although is beginning to lean in the direction of trans) youth & am an ally. Glad to have you here!
