I know how the exercise is performed, but am confused about the benefits. I see people with amazing progress over the course of even just a month. Although I very much doubt that's from this exercise alone there must be something to it. The way it feels however doesn't indicate that this short exercise would make a…

I'm really confused by this exercise. I've heard and seen so many good things about it, but when I try it it really just feels weird (especially the pumps) and not like it's really doing much if anything. How long are you supposed to do this for and what are the amount of pumps people usually do?

I use garden of life vanilla chai organic protein. Mix it with some soy milk, lemon and add in a teaspoon of chia seeds. It's simple, but I really love it.

Lose 4.2 lbs so I can start on the last 10 lbs to get to the middle of my desired maintenance range. I just can't wait to get to that single digit countdown!

Yes, it does. Then again, the only Christmas song I enjoy is Fairy tale of New York - The Pogues. Seeing the replies in this thread I think he might need to reconsider his research methods....

If you're still looking for friends I'm in :) I'm 5'8 and at 141 lbs. My highest weight was 159 lbs. Since I signed up here weight loss has pretty much been easy, so I'm definitely not about to leave. My goal weight is 126 lbs and I'm doing 1200-1300 kcal a day, pilates and weights to get to the fit body I want. I'm from…

I kept to my allowed 1200-1300 kcal and worked out every single day for 30 minutes like I planned. I've had no struggles. The reason for…

Yes, woman! Let's ignore reality in favor of an ideal fantasy world! If we say it doesn't happen it will surely stop happening from now on. Interesting how you see victim blaming in what I said. Of course it's the fault of women who are wary of how they dress because there are guys who think they're above all norms and…

Even when I was 18, fit right into that beauty standard of an hourglass figure and a bmi of 19.4 I was treated with respect by men. Did I get a lot of attention? Yes. Was I ever touched inappropriately? No. Even during my backpack trip in europe for a month, when I was all by myself wandering the streets at night, nothing…

Wow, you must have some great curves indeed! I completely understand you didn't want to lose them. The assisted pull-up sounds very handy. I hope you'll make it before 2018! :) As per today you've got another heavy lifter in your midsts!! Just kidding of course, but that thing was sure heavy to me and my chicken strength…

@Sardelsa I found the IG page, thanks! Very inspirational and insightful. I really wish I was more of a gym workout person as I would love to be able to do those kind of things, but I've always found it too crowded and too expensive. That and I had no idea about what I was doing when I actually had a membership :') I'm…

For me it's also breakfast: I need at least my soy yoghurt and banana. I also have a slice of bread with either peanut butter or hummus, but that's more inconsistent.
-
While I can't say yes, I can say almost. The reason I didn't is because I wanted to hit a 90 gram protein goal (It ended up being +/- 1285kcal if you don't substract exercise kcal) and was missing 41% Lysine. Which is pretty odd since I ate tons of seeds and soy food. I was on a plant-based diet. If you want to check your…

Don't get too excited just yet, the worst is still to come! ;) So far so good though. I've worked out for 30 minutes every day since my last post. It's not much, but it's something I can stick to and enjoy doing every single day (unlike the 60 minute ones I forced myself to do in the past). I'm also sticking to only 2…

@Cat3141 Books are definitely a good idea. I personally found it very difficult to find nice, reasonably quick recipes online. Surprisingly, when I typed in 'Vegan recipes' in google, I would mostly find websites where you had to search through tons of vegetarian recipes as well. There were also a lot of instances where I…

Awesome :) It does cost of lot of determination to go from being a meat eater to being vegan overnight. Do you plan on doing a transition period? Maybe by going vegetarian first and slowly cutting out/replacing more? I tried going whole food vegan overnight myself, but it costs a lot more time and knowledge about for…

Woo, 5 km/ 3 miles run in the cold and afterwards 16 stairs (8 floors of a flat) up done today. Seems like a good start back to working out! Why is it so hard to start each time while it feels so good during and afterwards? Especially if you can have a warm shower and hot cup of tea and cozy up in blankets, haha. @Jen2133…

@DananaNanas I've watched it :) Really motivated me to work out more again. Lately I've just become a lazy bum and am steadily losing weight by eating less, but the more muscular girls are so much prettier to me. Elsa Hosk looked fabulous this show. What did you girls think?

I'm back at it after a generous 2 month break of weight loss. A new full-time job threw me off my game, but all the unhealthy foods and drinks have become unappealing after this time. A bit like a vacation dragging on for too long. Today marks the first day. By the end of the month I should be past the weight where I left…

Hey guys, I'm checking in again after about two months of slacking (Yikes). That's when work started to be crazy busy (full time plus lots of extra work at home) and I've been munching on comfort food and easy no-preperation-needed snacks about every single day. After gaining back 3.5 lbs of my hard earned loss I'm ready…

I want to do the same. I'm so glad you two have found each other! I bet he'll grow up to be a wonderful person with you as his mom.

@dubstepvideobody Yes, she's pretty tall! 5'10" / 179 cm. It's amazing how much difference a couple of cm can make in regards to body aesthetics. Thinking about that makes me a little happier with the couple of cm I lost so far :-) The measurements you had where insane! That's model measurements right there. Are you trying…

@mom23mangos I want to second everyone's reaction. You look stunning there!! @dubstepvideobody I *think* it's Josephine Skriver, but I'm not 100% sure. Both your inspirations most def are body goals! I did think Pamela was tinier than she is, which it odd since she has such small measurements! I especially love Nergin.…

My so is the same. We live together and he eats whatever he wants while I meticulously follow my diet. He doesn't help me per se or have to remind me, that's up to me. It's my weight loss journey and that's the way it brings least strain on the relationship as well. He always tells me I'm gorgeous, but I do this for me.…

Shouldn't this be in chit-chat? I thought it was pretty funny, but a lot of people seem to take it seriously x)
