Whats a cheer? Sth bad or good? :smiley:

Okay okay :D I thought it is bad, because as I was too direct and got warned because I said my opinion I got only woos. But maybe it means good and bad for different people haha. Thank you!

[quoted link removed by MFP mod] Running is good and yes, it can help lose weight or even tone, but only to some extend. I know runners with very flat bottoms. Not saying that it doesnt build nice legs etc, but with running only you are at a greater risk of injury, must lose a lot more weight to get that "hard", formed,…

Aaaand on topic: in december I didnt write that often here, but I reached my goal for december. In Jan. started lower calories: net/total around 1200 5 ft 7 Starting weight end of november 17: 143 End of december 17: 137-138 15th Jan: 134 Now I am 133-134 Goal for the end of Jan: stable 132 or 133 Ultimate Goal weight:…

Girls, can I ask sth off topic? Why does your posts get so much woos if you share your success? Isnt that a bad reaction? I always get a lot of woos and thought people just don't like what I say, but how can you woo someone's success?? wtf?!

And also: priorities. You have 2 goals: weight loss and health. What is more important? Health, of course. So, I would put my energy "no matter what" in eating the cleanest I can and practicing the lifestyle basics I talked about. I would never sacrifice sleep for cardio, I would never sacrifice a healthy positive mind (it…

@ssurvivor, I understand! Stress is a big factor and it is normal that you experience it after all you have been through. I dont know you, but from the above what you wrote I think you tend to get lost in details. What is more important than vitamin supps is your nutrition. By that I mean 1) enough calories to ensure you…

Focuse on food quality. Today it is very different to know what healthy food is, considering there are so many vegans, vegetarians, paleos, some crazy other people etc. A lot of cancer survivors for example may choose to eat no meat. This is a matter of your choice. But the staple of your diet should be what most people…

It is in your power to decide whether or not you eat under BMR. If you search in the web, you will find different opinions on that. What matters most is your personal "how I feel on this and on that cals". I don't have problems eating under BMR. But I don't go that low either. What matters for me is not going a lot over…

And one more thing: I did a gut microbiome test for other reasons than weight loss. It showed I have very good bacteria, but also a bit more firmicutes. This bacteria are responsible for very efficient use of calories. The body needs up to 200 less than calculators say because of this bacteria and thats why they are…

I would be careful with trainers. What matters for weight loss is cals in cals out. The trainer is not as reliable as a fitness smart watch for exmple. Wear it all day and see if you are burning 3000 cals to be sure you will lose on 2300...I know women who are eating like 2600 cals and dont know why they are NOT losing…

If your knees are okay after a year of such breaks... than okay. :neutral: But for me too much squats lead to knee pain. If I do them, I do them in the gym in combination with other exercises and it works great for me.

Bad digestion? Cardio speeds up metabolism, including improves digestion. So your gut might be on the way to becoming better.

In the gym there are a lot of people who work on their goals, which is a big motivator for most people I know, including me. Actually I don't know even one person that works out consistently at home, even if they have gym equipment. Also you can make (fit or wanting to be and working on becoming fit) friends in the gym…

lol Since there is a Woo button, the silent haters are using it against every opinion that include a pinch of honesty. :D haha

If you workout twice a day and do a lot of crossfit you could be sending your cortisol in the sky. Also crossfit builds a lot of muscle mass, burns a lot of calories, but maybe you are just used to the challenge (it is not that killing hard like for non crossfit trainers) and are overestimating calories burned. I do…

lol girls I just saw how much have replied to my thread. I will add you all, if you want :D

Lululemon is absolutely amazing. I dont mind the price. Some Nike stuff is also expencive, but it looks perfect for A LOT of years, looks really sexy, my butt looks amazing with lululemons, I like the form. People spend so much money on going out, parties and clothes they dont fit in or love.... I prefer to give some more…

OMG I told you also in your profile, but this gives me SO much inspiration! My start is almost the same and my goal weight also almost the same....... I love you :D Just looking at this makes me happy. :blush:

Oh Nic, sorry, I just saw your message. :D I will add you, didnt know you are from this group and thread. :)

And for your interest one of the most liked book by females nowadays is Strong Czrves by Bret Contreras. He says that not that direct as me, because he wants to sell a product, but in a more gentle way explains that women should train like women if they strive for that feminine look. Yeah, you can also get bulky by this…

I do trivialize maybe, yes. It is just what comes to my mind when somwone begins to complain about some mostly self diagnosed anxiety. My opinion and if you dont like it be happy that you are more supportive than me. You can now feel good about yourself. :D I cited the most common expressions I here from such people. I…

What are you so mad about? It is just my opinion.:D Food has nothing to do with mental problems. Anxiety may really exist as a medical issue but there is also just a confusion someone has anxiety that is much more common. It has become the new gluten free or vegan or *insert* a ridiculous fad idea/ excuse for (not)…
