Ooh, love this. I personally avoid anything directed to or marketed towards women only.

I got mine for Christmas and love them. Makes lifting so much easier!

Use the motivation to create new habits. You won't always feel motivated. Success comes from following through with the healthy habits even when you don't feel like it.

Last night 11 pm. 10g peanut butter

Hi, I will add you. I had struggled for year trying to lose weight. Crash diets, fad diets, weird and extreme eating habits, wasting so much money on products, etc. The best thing I did was take a year off of dieting. you don't have to do this but I would suggest just starting by tracking EVERYTHING everyday what you are…

I've also found whey to taste better, especially once you've factors in cost.

I have never exercised more than 45 minutes. Have lost 65+ pounds (& same with losing my pregnancy weight all of the times). I highly recommend strength training. I lift for 30-45 minutes 3x a week and run intervals for 20 minutes 2x a week.

The only way I will eat kale is in a raw salad that's marinated for a few days: with olive oil, your choice of vinegar, salt, and golden raisins

Chicken. Protein shake. Greek yogurt.

All you need to lose weight is a calorie deficit. Plug your stats into mfp. You could probably start at 2 pounds a week since you want to lose 40-60. Eat what mfp gives you, not less, the deficit Is built in. The key is doing this consistently, every day over time. Not every day will be perfect. I agree with this!

Start by eating half and monitor your weight, if you are losing at your projected amount then you are estimating right. Not losing enough? You are overestimating. Losing more? Underestimating. Every thing is only an estimation anyways.

Of course.

I pre-plan dessert every night. It gives me something to look forward to all day.

Slower is probably better at this point so you don't lose muscle mass. What if, at 140, you switch over to body recomping?

They are normal. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise. The same goes for cellulite, veins, wrinkles, grey hair, etc.

I agree with the reduce body fat by eating in a caloric deficit. Get a food scale so you can be sure you are in a deficit. Look into a whole body weight lifting program

I use libra, a trend app, and weigh daily. I update my mfp weight when I hit a new low.

I should be getting mine today in the mail! I'm very excited and have high expectations!

Not every one has an open food diary. I do. I will add you.

Patience. Consistency. Use a food scale. Lying to yourself only hurts yourself.

Today a couple came to the gym and did the following. We are a very small gym and there isn't much space. Not a ton of equipment: 1 rowing machine, 4 bikes, 4 ellipticals, 5 treadmills, 1 power rack, 1 cable machine. No Olympic lifting equipment. They took both Olympic bars and we're doing snatches. They set up in front of…

I accept all requests. Add me!

What about higher carb fruit? Bananas, for example.

Yep. I've been here for over 5 years. I am more comfortable now as the weight comes off but I've also learned to love myself more. So even though I won't have a"perfect" body, I think it will be ok.

I used to do that (not sure why I quit. I think I changed devices and never transferred over stuff). I once ended up running 5 miles because the story was so interesting and I wanted to finish it. Lol. Librivox has a select of free ones. They aren't amazing quality (it just depends) but if someone needs free options or at…

I find 40/30/30 to be the easiest for me to maintain. Weight loss is all about the calories... But do eat enough protein to maintain muscle mass.
