^I've heard the recovery time and discomfort are no joke too. I wouldn't consider it unless it was causing very serious problems.

Tell her to stop taking her insecurities out in you. Just leave it at that. You seem like an incredibly well-adjusted person to see this BS for what it is rather than letting it hurt you.

^^My feelings exactly. Plus, I don't derive motivation from feeling accountable about stuff like this. I didn't tell anyone I quit smoking years ago and was very successful. Some people are just less "rah rah" than others, and we should each do what works for us.

Uh, more than half my post above is missing, I'll be back later when I have a moment!

Congrats to both of you ^^^ That is awesome progress,

Definitely feel weird when people react. Mostly because I am uncomfortable with the way so many people interact with me differently when I'm thinner. I often feel like I am treated more like I count. I think it's wrong, but then again, I'm tired of being treated like part of the furniture too. It's easier to change me than…

Weigh the corncob. Eat the corn. Weigh the cob. Subtract the cob from the original total and log that weight.

Try to stick to natural breathable fibers in your clothing. Maybe something like cotton leggings with a skirt over it. You might even consider 100% cotton pads in the problem regions, that way you can change out the pads when you get uncomfortable and need to freshen up. If they're quilted cotton, they can be laundered and…

Whoa, what an incredibly insensitive thing to say, especially to a person who just disclosed depression problems. Sorry that happened to you.

Please don't put off goals because of your weight. You deserve to have a good life, and that includes going after your dreams in whatever body you're in now, even as you work on changing it. Very best of luck to you. ❤️

You can do it! I have stats similar to yours, though I started heavier and am an inch taller. I've already lost over 25 lbs by just tracking my calories and upping my physical activity. I know you can do it too!

So many fun friends! Is Riker named after William T.?

What! Wow! Amazing! I'm so happy for you!

You look like an action movie guy now. Incredible work!

You can do it! Do floor excercises like crunches and burpies and lunges when you get the chance. Switch to zero calorie soda if you're not able to kick it all the way. It's a hard time to go through (the baby years), and you should use all the tools you can to get through it--but you should avoid using food or sugary…

1.5 servings of tasty beer.

Such shiny fur!

Somewhat off-topic, sorry. I just have some advice about so-called sister sizes: Sister sizing is an invention to sell ill-fitting bras. I recommend getting a fitting somewhere fairly traditional, like a tailor bridal shop. Victoria Secret will sell you a bad-fitting bra if they can convince you the closest size they have…

There's pros and cons, neither of which have anything to do with nutrition. Pros: A lot of small organic farmers make an honest effort to use responsible practices. When you're buying locally, it's good to support your local people who are trying to do the right thing. Many heirloom varieties are gosh darn delicious and…

Are we there yet?

Not to be Debbie Downer, but those supplements will work now, and then they'll stop working when you stop taking them. The sudden lack of whatever boost they give you may cause you to regain. Of course you should do whatever works for you, though!

My exercise routine, which is twice as long as when I started a month ago, is getting too easy. :smiley:

OP You are so right, and clearly a wonderful human being. Thanks for spreading the joy around. :smile:

Have you been checking your measurements? With your rigorous workout routine, you may be building muscle and retaining a lot of water. I'm certain that if you've done what the others above have suggested (weighing correctly, logging the right entries, etc.), you must be losing fat.

Look at those sweet babies. Sweet, sweet, canctancerous babies with razors for fingers. Aww.

That is so funny. Your mom's not a fan of the direct approach, huh?

^All they said. You have a really great tone in your writing too. :smile:

Yes!

This is lame but I'm stoked. I got a little box for veggies and dip and found out that it came with a wee little paddle with which to spread shmear with! The wonders of this life never cease!
