@Antiopelle Amazing job! I weirdly feel proud of you and also jealous you can manage the weight loss so well! I truly hope your maintenance goes swimmingly. @jacau I feel you... it's sometimes scary how terrified we are of that number on the scale that we literally avoid seeing it (I'm doing the exact same thing right…

I bought them at bol.com, but its much cheaper to buy them directly from bol's supplier: https://cleanfoods.nl/cleanfoods/rawpasta/spaghetti/rawspaghetti

I have an impromptu citytrip coming up this week though, and I'm not going to abstain then; would be a waste to not enjoy it to the fullest (I'm…

Woooooow what a rock!! <3 I'm happy for you, enjoy the engagement bliss!

Indeed and I'm still waiting for both engagement ring pics!

I was very busy helping out family, my aunt just handed me a glass of champagne (as a "break") and I just drank it without thinking. t…

Well done!! I'm so amazed how good you are at losing weight!! @Cora0477 Tour Mineral is a collective "event" (maybe typical Belgian/Dutch?) where you abstain from alcohol for a full (albeit the shortest) month.

That's really insanely difficult to judge: different pose, different clothing but I think yes.

I tend to just read the ingredients on anything myself. If there's a bunch of unpronounceable things, I skip it. But veggie "burgers" in general have a rather short and clear ingredientlist in my experience.

@Antiopelle Thanks for the kind words, although I really AM the type of person to react good to a bit of verbal abuse 😜No mollycoddling! ;) And congratz on your own progress! Envious of how well you did it this month :)

Love the spirit you bring! A maintenance month feels like no progress (I'm there too unfortunately) but is still a WIN since it's not going backward! :) And thank you for the comments! I love you liked the little story (and also @weatherking2019)! Your workouts sounds super impressive btw... So pole training is pole…

@cayenne_007 Hey, I didn't know we are doing a 48h simultaneously! I'm 27h in now: it's evening, I'm hungry & tired but still very pleased with how I feel somehow. Glad to see someone else share that "reset" feeling you get! :)

* Get down to The Ultimate Goal Weight which will probably be about 62-63kg (136-137lbs), depends a bit on muscles gains too * Increase upperbody strength so I can do some unassisted chin-ups/pull-ups * Run the Antwerp 10 Miles * Try a longer fast (72h+) once this year

I agree with @weatherking2019: doing both at the same time (also called body recomposition) is doable - even favourable - especially if you're a beginner with lifting. The recommended route is having a slight calorie deficit, less than you would have when you're only trying to lose weight. You need a smaller deficit to…

@jacau Yup I'm struggling to find my way again too! I think it's also because no matter what I promise myself, I do let it slide during the holidays and then being confronted in January with weight you have to lose again is just so demotivating. But from what I can tell, you're on the right track again! @cayenne_007 I'm…

@cayenne_007 nicely done on resisting sweets! @Antiopelle YES! Im glad we're in the same boat; this week HAS to go great @PearlGrey Yeah, I did isometric holds, negative chin-up, and scapular pull-up (which is just a fancy way of saying a tiny pull-up movement). I now replaced the isometric hold with assisted chin-ups. The…

Huh there's an idea I hadn't considered. I'm just a very bad and slow runner and I'd feel kinda self-conscious in joining a running club I think. Like "what the hell is she doing here, can't run for *kitten*"

Hi and welcome! I think it's very inspiring you still find the courage to work on yourself in your current situation. I'm not sure I'd find the strength! Wish you success!

@thechiopodist and even then there is no agreement on whether they stay away or the body replenishes them to get back to the status quo

@cayenne_007 Oooh congratz with the upcoming nuptials!! And designing your own ring?! That's supercool. How do you posses those skills? Can we have a picture?
