Congrats on stopping smoking and the weight loss so far! I did 30 day shred about a month into my weight loss and it didn't kill me. :smile: It is pretty intense, but take it easy at first and by the end your endurance will be much better!

Come on. I've seen lots of pics with great arms on here- someone must have some ideas...:smile:

I like my eat smart scale (search for eat smart bathroom scales on amazon, I have the glass one) it has a "step-on" feature so you don't have to tap it or anything. It gives consistent results - a bit too consistent sometimes like if you weigh wearing a light t-shirt then weigh again without it soon after it'll give the…

water and oxygen! :laugh:

Trio bars - they are expensive, but last me much longer than jerky does. Or you could just buy nuts and seeds. :smile:

Do you weigh and measure your food? My week away from home I pretty much never lose weight and sometimes I gain a bit. My diary still looks good, but I don't have my food scale so it is all guesses and I am not really good at guessing. Things like coffee creamer and salad dressing are easy to guess wrong on and all those…

Thanks

pouted a lot. No matter how much strength training I did it didn't all go away. Got better, but there was still some. Til I gained weight again...

New clothes! :happy:

I looked at your link and it seems to be typed correctly. great job!

This is why I have a digital kitchen scale. For many things going over a bit isn't much but for some things like PB it can make a big caloric difference.

Not to be discouraging, but you might have loose skin no matter what. I lost 90lbs when I was 20-21 and had tons of lose skin. Kept the weight off for over a year, did lots of strength training, had the top 4 of 6 pack abs, but you couldn't see the bottom ones because of loose skin. My arms and legs had less loose skin,…

The results on websites tend to be inaccurate and even the skin fold test and scales aren't super accurate. The most accurate way is hydrostatic testing.

I think that article only applies to people who use that as an excuse to eat whatever they want whenever they want. If I get 1 ice cream bar that is 150 cals like 2-3 times a week and it fits into my cals then I think that is fine. If I want to eat an entire container of ice cream even just once a week and do more exercise…

HATE the stupid Patriots. :drinker:

5 including my snow boots. :smile:

It really depends on what your breasts are composed of. One of my friends is size H or I and she had a scan of some kind done and was told hers will not get smaller with weight loss and they don't have much fatty tissue in them. It's one fo the steps for seeing if someone is a candidate for reduction surgery now.

Saw the coolest image on here earlier today and I stole it cuz I think it is totally appropriate for situations like this. I know people are just trying to help, but some days I think they forget they don't actually know everything...

Love this! And I am totally stealing it!

I can sympathize. I am going to be working somewhere soon that requires "nice" clothes all the time and am very concerned about how often I am going to have to buy new clothes! Currently I wait until things are way too big (like 2 sizes) but that doesn't really look professional...

Yeah anything with ology on the end sounds way better! And therefore worth the extra cost. I can make my food fresh at home, but I don't know how to make food be freshology! Just like I can make shakes but not well you get the point

Great job!

Cheese stick, small apple, and ham.

I agree! And if it is a white t-shirt that is soaking wet I'm ok with that.

I have seen this reasoning before, but have never understood it. I did Zumba, Yoga, Pilates & jogged on a treadmill at my biggest on a rather regular basis when I was at my biggest, but they still count as exercise...

If you know these people so well as to know what their regular life is like why don't you ask them why they log it? I log cleaning because I am busy and only clean about 2x a week. it only gets me like 50 cals burned, but it's something. And one of my friends counts when she goes to check the mail. Her mailbox is 1/2 a…

I only lost like 8 lbs on the 30 DS, but I lost a LOT of inches. And then I lost 4 lbs the week after I stopped...

In the food diary of you type in breastfeeding there are entries that take 500 cals off your total for the day. 500 is the basic estimate for calories expended in exclusive breastfeeding though some sources say up to 700.

Awesome! Good luck with that!

Thanks, didn't think of trying ale.
