Simply beautiful. Hugs.

So inspiring! Especially the bit about celebrating the little victories! Congrats on all your hard work!

I haven’t used one of these since I gained the weight, but it was a very encouraging tool when I was at my fittest (19% body fat). I was competing in endurance (riding a horse 35-100 miles in a weekend) so my personal trainer used the body fat measurement in conjunction with the scale to make sure when I was getting into a…

I’m so sorry! I did something wrong in attaching the pics! Y’all have made me feel all the warm and fuzzies this morning!

I want to hold steady below 170. I dip almost into the 160s, have a hard workout, pop back up for two or three days, dip, hard workout, pop back up... I understand that grappling/combative sports causes a lot of inflammation, but I would like the bouncing around to happen in the next “decade” of weights. Lol right now, I’m…

So I’ve had this t shirt for several weeks, but wouldn’t put it on. It’s from a 50 mile trail challenge and I was so upset that it looked so small! I mean, it really upset me. The arms looked so tiny and when I held it up to myself, I wouldn’t even look at the mirror, just felt it against me. I decided to bite the bullet…

Ugh so sorry. I didn’t mean to attach the second pic and can’t figure out how to edit or delete my comment.

Zero scale difference. Strictly body recomp. I need to take more intentional pics but the second one I thought “geeeeez my clothes are getting too baggy.” Lol

What an inspiration you are!!! 😊

Fantastic!!!

All the best wishes for your marriage!!! ❤️ Add me if you would like to be friends. I’m back on MFP bc I needed to keep my appetite in check as it sky rocketed when I really amped up my fitness. Scale moving back in the right direction with 35lbs to go. 🙂

I’ve got 35 to and would love to be friends! Congrats for coming back!

Personally, I feel like my recovery is much better when I walk on my rest days. A good walk seems to really loosen everything back up. A sure fire way for me feel like the tin man after a rain storm is to have a full on “rest” day where I work from my office and then go home and veg out on the sofa. Your mileage may vary,…

General Tso’s chicken... and egg rolls. 🤤

There are several bits to the IF thing. You still eat the same calories, but your meals are a little larger (from my understanding). A lot of the main drivers in the IF community say the benefits are mostly from the body getting time in the fasted state to do clean up/repair/rest. I really do think it depends on the…

Depending on your specs, you can likely still lose weight while eating more. For 1lb a week, lightly active, MFP has me at 1670. I’m 29, 5’5”, and female. Also, search volume eating and/or volumetrics. I’ve learned some great things on those threads. Bulking up meals with greens and veggies, egg whites, and the like. Good…

Lol I just walked out of the dojo... not the thread to scroll. Ravenous.

I had a small baked potato, cup of chili poured over, and topped with a yolk still runny fried egg. 👌👌👌

This thread is such a learning experience. Google now probably thinks I’m trying to open a grocery store because the things I’ve searched. lol I had the strange mom in the 90s who packed those carrots cut like potato chips instead of chips in my lunch box and made fruit roll ups in the dehydrator. Taste of my childhood…

I’m not huge on eating out, but I’ve been driving a ton for work lately. Taco Bell has a few options if you look on the value menu. I like the cinnamon twist things when I’m really wanting something sweet. McAlister’s Deli (Southern US chain) has a veggie chili and chicken tortilla soup that comes in under 300 for a bowl.

Most pastas. It’s a texture thing.
