I mentioned on here that I have never been harassed at the gym. But last week I caught some very serious attitude from an older woman. I accidentally got on a machine she had apparently claimed with her eyes so she yelled at me, and I politely said, “my bad” and moved. She has been mad at me ever since! Today we crossed…

I have had people hit on me. I’m good with that. I have in the past either flirted back when single and interested or shut it down when not single and not interested. It has never bothered me for people to make their move, then I can make the choice to either be flattered and say thanks or roll my eyes and say no thanks. I…

It’s a good workout. Resistance and it gets your heart rate up. Any of those classes are nice because you can keep upping your intensity as it gets easier for you.

No you have a dog hoarding problem :/

I would caution the use of this as it has been proven to backfire. Lots of studies in the subject and my 15 year old son who was raised to eat anything spent a summer with my mother and sat at the table with some sort of chicken casserole for two hours in a battle of wills, this was 10 years ago, he still won’t touch any…

I’ve had a few migraine lately which I find make me really crave lots of carbs which messes up my count. I was being gentle with myself (migraine are a *kitten*) but a couple of days of that and I just want to keep eating everything in sight. It is very difficult to pull it back in. I’m having to focus on one day not…

I’m confused by your question. No one except your husband (whom you did not say is a doctor, nutritionist, or any other sort of expert) has told you to eat 1200 calories. The site you are using to lose weight didn’t tell you 1200 calories, your rate of loss didn’t tell you 1200 calories, you don’t like how you feel on 1200…

I see and endocrinologist, and he told me last time “sorry but the amount you take is what I would give to a person who no longer has a thyroid.” I guess this is the best I get to feel

I never get unsolicited advice. I’m pretty good at putting on my game face and my headphones in. Once you are in your own zone people don’t even make eye contact. I use to work out at the gym on Fort Bragg where the special forces guys went and occasionally I’d get a flirty look or whatever but never advice. And as with…

Absolutely! Just ate a really expensive well cooked steak but they had added loads of butter to it and practically ruined it for me. Not to mention my stomach was not very happy with all the oil.

One of the ways I keep my employees happy and productive is to fill the “break room/my office “. With snacks and drinks and lunch options. We work in retail and move all day and they need the calories to keep up. There isn’t an actual break room and they would have to drive and pay to eat somewhere else . I find happy…

I like to be healthy, and oh hell yes I love to put on my skinny pants and have them button all easy. And when they do i absolutely feel better about how I look when i look in the mirror. And when I feel better about how I look the people around me notice :). It’s a cycle, and good cycle I’d say. Lose for whatever reason…

I like a late workout, makes me sleep well! Good job!

Football Sunday’s with measured snacks instead of just eating all the things :)

Any will do but a very basic with velvetta (I know I know not real cheese!). And strawberry jam

Meh I’m 5’9 and I lose nicely on about 1350. Might have a lot to do with my thyroid (which is treated but still low). When I eat much more I maintain or start to slowly gain. I’ve never been overweight but when I start to gain I go back to weighing and measuring and counting calories and 1350 seems to fit me just fine…

Everyone has something they love :)

Jam on grilled cheese sandwiches is delicious

When I’m watching what i eat I usually naturally consume less carbs since the ones I want are calorie heavy, and then I pee constantly. I have read that is pretty normal for a lowish carb diet.

Usually snacks. Unless my hubby has made something delicious and heavy for dinner. Never any breakfast, makes me feel sluggish and hungry the rest of the day if I eat early.

I am in total agreement with the Starbucks comments. I will happily drink instant coffee before I drink Starbucks.

I love second hand clothes!! I had years when raising two kids on my own it was the only option I had, and now that I very comfortable it would still break my frugal heart to pay full price for much. I get to redo my whole work wardrobe ever six months that way :). So thank you all for your donations! That being said,…

I love it but only because like everyone has said it helps make a calorie deficit easier. I find I’m not really hungry until I start eating and then food literally never leaves my mind. It’s really just a matter of personal preference. Most people either love it or hate it. I’d suggest you give it a try and see how you…

I think the main reason i have done intermittent fasting most of my adult life is because of that hassle of finding something I want to eat that isn’t a giant cinnamon roll or buscuits and gravy :)

I had my first one in about 8 months last week at work. I get really bad visual aura for about 40 min beforehand and sometimes if I’m really lucky it’s only the ocular migraine and real “pain” never hits just pressure everywhere. This time my district boss showed up for her monthly meeting so I had to stick around even…

I go to eos and for 20 a month I get unlimited classes and plenty of machines.

Super simple whiskey and Diet Coke. About 90 calories depending on the brand.

I LOVE food in all of its forms so this almost never happens to me. But when it does I have finally gotten past the guilt of throwing something out instead of finishing it.

I manually entered my stride after measuring it on a treadmill by it is always possible I did that wrong. I think the likely culprit is that is work at Fedex and spend a lot of my day packing boxes and moving my arms certainly more than my legs. It is probably giving me strides when I am actually engaging much smaller…

Yeah my Fitbit thinks I am some sort of a fitness fanatic. Trial and error says I burn about 400 calories less a day. But because my job keeps me busy and moving it gives me lots of calories. I just wear it cause it motivates me to keep moving and I eat the number of calories that time has told me I lose on.
