I think what you said makes the most sense out of anything! If you look at it in the short term, the people who don't have much access to healthier and fresher foods might have to spend more on eating healthy, but in the long term their habits might save them from medical conditions and large medical bills! Thus, eating…

I reckon healthy food is actually cheaper because when I am focused on my health...I tend to plan my meals more often out of necessity, which requires going out an buying the right ingredients in order to eat more healthily. When I'm not concerned about eating healthily, I tend to buy lots of groceries that have a tendency…

Why is a full body workout 3 x / week better than a split routine? And what should these full body workouts consist of? (eg. two upperbody - a core workout- two lowerbody?) something like that?

1 gram of protein for each pound of weight? is there a reason why? If i can't eat that amount...what kind of range would be appropriate? 70% ish?

Lol, well i meant i wouldn't want to look like a female such as jillian michaels completely...i want to be just 'toned'

Thank you so much for sharing!! This is exactly the kind of response I was looking for. I'm glad someone on my friends list has been through this :)! Low-Carbing has worked for me, greatly, however the long term effects of it seem to be possibly detrimental, which is why I want to start integrating GOOD carbs back into my…

Wow...so it wasn't even gaining weight normally that made your skin loose....that sounds very scary!!! Thanks for sharing your story is really interesting!

amazing blog, anyone else who is curious should look too

My highest ever weight was 114 kgs....once I got down to 75 kgs, which was a pretty massive loss already, I could see the loose skin and fat dangling from my arms were actually bigger than my actual arm. I have done strength training throughout losing weight, but I've had three doctors all tell me that in the end I will…

bump

you look gorgeous!

you look amazing! we have similar stats, i started around the same weight and i am also 5'2 and now 90 pounds down as well!

Great job!!!!!! You have a gorgeous body shape!

yes....about 8/ day....

In order to lose weight you may either need to cut out carbs OR fat...or just focus on cutting out bad carbs and bad fats... I think what matters the most is which one you think you will be able to sustain for the long-term, because weight loss is a long term goal.

lol the friends who are tellling me i'm too thin and giving me unsolicited diet advice are different from the one negative friend who is just trying to be a ***** and was always negative...she never said a word to me about my weight loss and started saying things like "well i'm thin so i can do this"

i think if you re read my post you will maybe understand the context.

GIRLS CAN BE SO *****Y!!!! why can't we all just be happy for each other girls????????????

Lol that must be worse...you can't pick your family but you can pick your friends :p I hate that people who see you fixing a problem that THEY have and are too lazy to fix are giving you crap for getting to a better place!

I get the whole "they may also be scared of what that means for them in your life" thing....my boyfriend is always like "you're gonna leave me when you get to your goal weight cuz you'll be too hot for me! I know it's not true...but I guess it could have that effect on some people :( This makes me sad. I want my bf to feel…

I do have some very lovely and encouraging friends who have been a big part of my weight loss journey!!! I am extremely grateful for them! I guess I'm just ticked off mainly at that one friend who hated the fact that I was losing weight...like, sorry, I have a prettier face than you babe, I got it from my momma.

it would be awesome if you could do a photo-tutorial of how you alter your bras!!!!!!

shopping from early in the morning til the evening :p

yeah, i definitely used to feel that way. but on a high protein low carb diet i'm missing out on so many things that others around me are eating and these products seem to give me somewhat of a solution to it without the guilt that comes with actually eating the bad stuff. it's more convenient, i can have something similar…

so to the people who use these products regularly...do you still lose? and if you have experienced a high protein low carb diet before without these products do you lose as effectively?

bumppp

on thanksgiving i ate loaddssss of carbs and sugars...i gained about 10 pounds all of a sudden...NO JOKE...of course it all came off in a week but that really taught me never to go THAT overboard again....if i want to treat myself, i'll have a scoop of ice cream or a piece of chocolate...but i would never have a full cheat…

cutting down your carbs is going to make you a little cranky the two weeks (the amount of time it takes any habit to form), but after that, you will feel much better about it....in fact after a while of low carbing, eating carbs will make you feel not so well... but maybe you aren't eating enough carbs...? i tried eating…

lol i should also add im definitely NOT pregnant.
