No, different shirt. Before on the left, after on the right.

Can I share this here? 258 to 238. I know I have lost weight but I feel like it doesnt really show.

Who woos someone's choice in snack? It's a low calorie/high volume food I enjoy. Oh boy. Go steal someone else's joy, you absolute egg.

I struggle with the energy aspect. I can force myself to get up 2 hours early and go to the gym but it lacks the depth and power of my post-work workouts. Even with the help of some pre-workout or coffee, it feels a lot like going through the motions. I don't enjoy the workout like I do when I'm fully cognizant.

I'm loving my new Crunchmaster Protein Crackers. They're like a mix between a pretzel thin and a rice cracker.

There's this really adorable bearded Irish guy at my gym. Calves like boulders, beautiful shoulders... Pretty eyes, too. And always in a funny graphic tee. But anyway, we live together so I guess it's lucky I have a crush on him.

I guess I'll jump in here, though I'm quite timid with committing to anything given my track record over the past week or so. SW 258 CW 241 GW (Mini) 220 GW (Next Mini) 199.5 GW (Ultimate) 180 My goals are to drink water like it's my job, be active at least 20 minutes a day (easy on my gym days but I'm slack on off days),…

EVOO isn't great for frying, just because it doesn't fry well. It has a low smoke point and will literally 'burn' and spatter everywhere. Have you considered an air fryer, if frying is a regular part of your food routine? I have lots of friends and family who have made the investment in one and really love it.

And for what it is worth, if he had answered this instead of me, he would have told you yes, he found it after 30. He was 37 when we met.

Close? I met my s/o when I was 29. September will be our 3 year anniversary. We live together now, after having met online as friends in a nonsense Facebook group. He was one of the friends that was there for me after a Marine broke my heart from 2,000 miles away, ending our engagement by literally ignoring me and my…

30 minutes on the treadmill, 15 at 0 incline 3+mph, 15 at 4 incline 2+mph. Then the 30 minute express circuit at Planet Fitness, really pushing myself on the cardio bits. Burned just about 800 calories.

It's MLM. I'm calling it now.

I love love LOVE salty foods-- pickles and homemade cucumbers in vinegar, potato chips, deli meats-- but my body will hold onto so much water if I even THINK about them. :(

If you need to drop some water weight, I guess it can help? It's just gonna come back though. I wear one on bad days but it's because I have a back issue from my belly having gotten so big and it pulls on my lower back. If I'm on my feet for too long without it or something similar, it is very uncomfortable. The waist…

Well I'm gonna have to check Amazon for a spritzer 'cause EVOO is a staple in my kitchen. Does anyone cook with any other oils-- avocado, truffle, coconut, etc? Will a spritzer work with those as well?

I try and account for everything. Calorie counting is a bit of a switch from other programs like WW or similar where certain foods don't count. I know when I did WW years ago, I could eat all the fruit and veggies I wanted for 0 calories. But I try and be meticulous so that I can see all the data and find a solution if…

Also, if you ever eat at Cowboy Brazilian Steakhouse, save some room and get the red velvet cheesecake.

*KITTENS*

I can bend over at the waist to pick things up off the floor and it isn't a huge effort. It also doesn't immediately flare up my sciatica anymore like it used to!

Carbs aren't dirty, you don't have to wash them.

Track your calories in and calories out. Drink water. Be patient.

I usually burn between 600-1,100 calories at the gym 3-4x a week and I try to at least eat 50% of them. Sometimes it's no problem, sometimes I just can't. But food = fuel and sometimes the best way to measure isn't the internet but how you're feeling and performing. I feel best when I get a good burn in and nourish my body…

And hey if anyone does have any magic wand suggestions, or maybe a demon I can lease my soul out to for 4 days a month in exchange for being able to function, holler at meeeeee.

I just went through this, this past weekend. My periods are without exaggeration, debilitating! I'm so sorry. Sending love and light and lots of carby snacks. I will say this: If you have ever considered one, I will say a TENS unit helps with the pain when nothing else will touch it. I have one with 4 leads, so I can do 2…

Bubblicious watermelon bubble gum.

I really and truly hate cream puffs so I thereby allot you my personal ration of cream puffs, thus your hostess was obviously rude AF 'cause you had my permission to eat enough cream puffs for 2.

I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNOWS HOW TO CHANGE THE TOILET PAPER ROLL.

I read this and laughed out loud because a buffet is basically Open Season for me. Golden Corral is what comes to mind, and I can easily pack away 4-5 yeast rolls, a pile of mashed potatoes + corn, probably with ranch because ranch is the ultimate condiment. Meatloaf or maybe some fried chicken. A small salad-- drowning in…

So there ARE people who can just drink their breakfast and be satisfied! This sounds like my personal hell, but I'm glad it works for someone. I feel like a potential weirdo but I've noticed that I don't feel satisfied without the act of chewing, to some degree.

And it is perfectly okay to eat/drink things from time to time that have no benefit other than you just really freakin' like the taste of them.
