I lift barefoot and love the Brooks brand for running shoes.

Well, that was a disappointing response, John. Wait...you like me? Or Janice?

^^This is actually the best fix. No one will know (or care) if you buy a larger size or more flattering cut. Also, you can start strength training and eating at a small deficit to try to cut a little fat, but you'll have no control over what part of your body you lose fat from, and the process is very slow. This would be a…

I haven't tried it, but have heard it tastes "weird". Personally, I mix 1tb of light sour cream with 2tb salsa, squeeze in a little lime and put that on my salad. It's about 30 calories for 3tb of delicious creamy dressing.

My fat jeans are still tight too, OP. Because, despite the fact that I work out regularly, I still eat more calories than I expend. It's been 12 days. Give it time. Weigh and measure everything you consume. Log it truthfully and faithfully because fudging that data only hurts you. Mmmm....fudge.... Come back in 6 weeks if…

Just to reiterate: the point of the OP is that if you want great (looking) abs, the key is to cut body fat. If you aren't motivated by anything except the number on the scale, then that is a perspective that you'll need to change in order to achieve this goal. If having great abs is not a priority for you, then this post…

Don't be ridiculous. No one takes anyone seriously here. And, by the way, she has a profile picture.

It seems to depend on the individual location. The carhops in my town get minimum wage. I still tip for good service though. They're high school kids, and I want to teach them that many people appreciate a job well done.

Some people call me....Tim.

Copy me on that. For quality assurance and additional support. And science.

I have place one gold star on your walking chart, one gold star on your diary chart, and two gold stars on your lifting chart (since you also put it back down). And you know I am available to provide booty smacks at any time convenient for your schedule. :flowerforyou:

I lose on 1800/day working a desk job.

Don't you have someone you need to go apologize to?

You're from an imaginary country. If you see insecurity, it's because you're projecting.

Offended by spandex? Nope. I have better ways to spend my energy at the gym. I do, however, get offended by men touching MY spandex at the gym. So take note.

OP, my doctor suspected thyroid issues on multiple occasions, however my thyroid tests have always been normal. Then they identified my insulin resistance. It cleared up the many hypothyroid-like symptoms I had. Strict weighing/measuring of food, plenty of exercise, plenty of sleep, and a little boost from a prescription…

Can the rest of us posters stop hearing from you now too? Pretty please?

Baked/grilled fish and some steamed veggies. Done with room to spare.

You might try increasing your protein intake a little and see if you stay full longer. Also, it wouldn't hurt to go over to Scooby's workshop (http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator) and try to figure out if you're eating enough. I'm 5'9" and lose .5lb/week working a desk job and eating 1800 calories.

***crickets*** *snicker*

*sniff* Do anyone else smell that? I can't tell if it's advocare shakes or essential oils....maybe it's beachbody supplements?

You could probably add it to a protein shake. It might help thicken it. Or sprinkle it on cauliflower ice cream for an added boost of protein.

Aaaaaand I was just knocked out of first place. Darn.

I keep shooting these jokes a little too high, I think. I'm going to invent sarcasm font. Thanks for the continued explanations though. And I fully intend to keep that title for the whole year and wear it with pride. :smiley:
