Take that sweaty shirt off with pride - you earned it!

I previously lost a lot of weight on a very restrictive diet, in which I had one "cheat" a week. Once I hit my goals I wasn't able to maintain long term and ended up putting on more weight. The "cheat meal" wasn't the only problem with how I did it this time, but it was part of the mentality of restriction, and…

I have days like this and other days when I am ravenous! I have started to just listen. On the days I'm not hungry I don't eat as much, and end up sometimes 500 cal under my goal, then experience tells me a few days later I'll want to eat everything, so I just eat a couple of hundred extra cake those days. As long as my…

I eat constantly, I buy my lunch at work every day, normally a raw salmon salad. We get a food box which makes us cook 3 nights a week, the other four is take out. It works fine for me.

This has been a week of NSV for me, from being able to finally run a decent distance and enjoy it (instead of wanting to die the whole time), to starting to see my muscles on my thighs, shoulders and abs take shape. Even if it feels excruciatingly slow, it feels like my body is starting to change. And that's better than…

Yeah, no arguements - it's the Hollywood thing right. Skinny in strong version. Some of the other amazons are pretty built. Apparently they used all professional athletes including powe lifters. I did read that Gal Gadot put on 17 pounds of muscle for the role, which isn't to be sniffed at. She was very skinny before.…

What about greek god female bodies?

I think this one might win, although the image of this has me laughing out loud at work... I'm totally working you guys!

Lol. Confirmation bias is a unconscious bias. Like all unconscious biases most people think they are not affected. Every person claims it doesn't affect them, they think for themselves, they are free of it. And every person is wrong. It's part of how our brains are wired. It takes enormous awareness and cognitive load to…

I think I will copy this and put it on my profile to remind myself not the be Captain Burnout.

This spreadsheet is really helpful. I took a copy of it and tweaked for what is probably real for me (I don't have kids! :). Pumped up my cals, adjusted macros! Thanks for you help!

Hello! I need some help! I did the calculations, I am 164cm tall and weigh 65kg. I'm 29 and sedentary, except for 1 hour at the gym and 1 hour walking to and from work. I calculated my TEED at 2,000 / day, so my cals for deficit would be 1500. I used my husbands sculpt to work out my BF%, then had it confirmed at the gym…

Hi, I too am 29 and determined to FINALLY lose this weight, after many stops and starts. I'm 5"4 starting at 145 pounds, hoping to get to somewhere between 130 - 135! We are thinking about having a baby in the next couple of years too so I am conscious it is easier to get healthy and fit on this side, while I still have…

I love this idea ^^ - going to use it. I am also restarting, after regaining weight I had already lost. I am really fighting for consistency and changes I can maintain for a lifetime this time. In terms of restarting, I found I couldn't get back to the gym at all until I got a workout plan. I just went to bodybuilding.com…

Just started lifting heavy. Can't wait to look "bulky" like all you beautiful badasses ;)

We are tripping from San Fran to LA, and going through Yosemite national park. As well as a bit of time in the Nevada Desert at Black Rock City :) x

Happy B Day for Monday and good luck with your goals. I'm also heading from East to West coast in a few months for summer hols and on a mission to be confident in my bikini x
