I've known many people who've lost tons of weight with Herbalife. Mostly in the back pocket.

I love my mini pedal exercise 'bike'. I can use it on my arms or legs. It's allowed me to exercise on bedrest

I tried that, too. I found that starting with restrictions made it impossible, because what can we eat? I had better luck when I started introducing helpful foods first. I found that actually leaves less space for the less desirable food. I haven’t quit caffeine but I have made a drastic reduction. I avoid soy in my day to…

I was exercising in front of the tv today and wanted to do an hour. A few times, I got the idea to stop, even though I was handling the workout just fine. Then I remembered a quote I’d read, about how a one hour workout is only 4% of your day. So, every time that voice told me I should stop, I repeated that quote like a…

I have a question: when you're avoiding answering this question about how much more you have left to lose, what exactly do you say? Because I'm starting to get this question now, and I'm not keen to share that info.

I try to get in plenty of exercise in the week leading up to it, and on the day. I have lower calorie meals on the day, such as a smaller lunch, etc. I also don't tend to snack on those days. I do my very best estimate, knowing that it probably won't be especially accurate. Also, when I'm eating at the event, I try to keep…

You look hot, either for someone who has or hasn't had kids, for starters. Secondly, this dude called you fat. This is your big chance to stick it to him! Find the most flattering swimsuit you possibly can and enjoy showing off your new bod! You're allowed to enjoy this. After having children myself, I sincerely hope I can…

I watched it about two nights ago. I loved it.

My bust became size 8 (Aussie) today, for measurement day! That's my goal size, and it means I've lost 3 sizes in that area!

A lot of fat acceptance types complained that it used a fat suit. However, I don't understand what they would have preferred the show did? Would they prefer they hired an overweight actor to play Patty, then go on a regime to lose a lot of weight? Or film the actress in all her scenes as a thin person, then get her to put…

I don't think jdubois said anything worthy of flagging?

We recently tried 65 calorie biscuits from Aldi. They're sugarless digestives. They have chocolate on top and remind me of a chocolate wheaten. And they don't taste sugarless!

I see 3 options for you: 1) give up and put all the weight back on plus extra. 2) make yourself miserable by denying any and all foods that give you pleasure. Lose the weight, then once you’re at goal weight, eat the way you used to and put it all back on, plus extra. 3) learn how to eat healthily for life in an enjoyable…

I often mix them with a tablespoon of pesto and other stuff.

I usually point out that if they had low calorie junk food, I’d be all over that as well.

I have always been harassed about drinking Diet Coke at the same time as eating junk food. It always goes, ‘I’ll never understand these people who drink low calorie soft drink and eat junk? Why bother drinking it?’ Well, because I’m addicted to it, Susan.

It wouldn't bother me, but if I was in your position and was worried, I'd wait until I had my clientele, and see what sort of customer I draw in, then decide whether or not I would show my piercings tattoos

I've had a lot of help from stretches. I'm sure results would vary from person to person, but definitely worth a shot

Thanks. I am aware how it works. It's just deciding what would be the best option for now, really, isn't it?

Understandable. I just meant I would do a smaller deficit with the maintenance calories and not eating back exercise calories for a few weeks, just until I make it to 55kgs. Then, I’d do recomp. I haven’t fully decided yet. I’m so glad you’ve found something that works!

Argh! I typed out an answer to you, but I mustn't have hit reply :blush: Thanks so much for sharing this, it's helping to give me more to think about. Do you eat back your exercise calories at the moment, or not? I'm wondering if I ate at maintenance but didn't eat back the exercise calories, if that could be a compromise…

It's funny; I've been in a deficit for over three months (maybe 4? I'm not sure). I was going along absolutely fine until I reached the 3 month mark. My wheels feel like they've been falling off, ever since. I didn't realise it until I read someone else saying it on here.

I got fat. I didn’t want to stay that way.

I’ve been given 1,200 calories.

Prove him wrong! (I just read further, and you did!)

A great result nonetheless :smile:

Thank you both so much :smile:

Thanks so much!

I have read lots of the posts on here, but at 106 pages, haven't been able to read them all. This post I'm quoting is a few years old, now. Is ILiftHeavyAcrylics still around? I won't ask what your chronic illness is, but I was wondering if you don't mind my asking, how long can/do your flare ups last for? I ask, because I…

Do people still not know what it means? Bloomin' heck!
