OMG 6 tablespoons!? Thats a little ridiculous....my peanut butter says 2 is the serving size and I usually only eat about 3/4 of that! PORTION CONTROL PORTION CONTROL PORTION CONTROL....thats all I have to say about that....

So true! Back in college I thought it was the weightlifting that was bulking me up....but it was really just the freshman 15 lol I was eating thousands of cals and didn't even know it hahahaha darn you college meal plan!

I pretended to like his roommate when we first met....that guy was such a JERK! I was secretly happy when they fell out and my bf moved out :-)))

I know PLENTY of girls who are with fat guys. I also know an obese guy who pulls chicks ALL the time...I don't personally go for bigger guys but its really all about the personality. If a fat guy has confidence and carries himself well getting girls shouldn't be a problem.

This is a long story that I will hopefully make short..... Before boyfriend... HW 163 LW 145 Met boyfriend (150) HW 155ish CW 140 GW 135 He complained about my ever growing gut and said I could use some toning....this was without my asking his opinion :-/ I began dieting and exercising and am now 15 lbs lighter and a lot…

Pure Protein Powder taste GREAT in water....

Black people in general deal with more issues than non-blacks. Someone mentioned hair as being one. I know its a challenge to willingly sweat out a fresh $60 do. (not that I have this problem) Also, there are a lot of single mothers out there raising kids, working multiple jobs, and if they are like me a gym membership is…

Ri30 level 1

I used to feel the same but now I don't mind it....Kashi makes the most AWESOME dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Thats one way I get my chocolate fix. Also granola bars with chocolate chips are also good. My other fix is my chocolate protein shakes.

Get rid of "big" clothes...AS SOON AS YOU GET NEW CLOTHES :-) You don't need them unless you plan on getting "big" again..................

I say pizza is horrible because I can EASILY consume my whole daily allowance in one sitting with a few slices....Anyone who can have just one is lying! lol

If you have an Aldi store around definitely use it! They have a lot of weight concious favs like almond milk, egg whites, greek yogurt, all types of meat (including fish), and their fruits and veggies are pretty good depending on your location... If you're into protein Walmart has some great cheap options (Pure Protein)…

@downsizinghos - the smile and gun stuck gets me every time!

steph's cheek bones!

I'm not strong at all but now adays I certainly looking like it! :-) Thanks 30ds and RI30!

Thanks a lot! :-)

I did 30ds for November. I lost a total of 0.5 lbs.....lol but my profile pic is my before and after....lost some tummy and gained some muscle so I'm fine with that.

hahahahah Mothers say the darnest things! I've gotten down to a size smaller than I was in JR HIGH! So of course your mom is wrong. Also there are A LOT of older people here who are now smaller than they ever were in their younger years. Your body can do whatever you set your mind to!

My bf for being so darn snippy on the phone when I'm clearly having A ROUGH DAY!!!

HW: 163 LW: 140 CW: 140 GW: 135

Omg! I just did Day1 today it was soooo challenging! :-) I loved it. I tried to use my 5lb weights the entire time but a few times I picked up the 3lb a couple times. Im excited to see my results!

Honestly you're doing great! Just keep on trucking and you'll get there in no time! There are alot of times I look in the mirror and feel like the chubby out of shape girl I used to be, but clothes don't lie! Whenever you start to forget how far you've come go and get a pair of those old jeans and remind yourself :-)

It seems like you're approaching this thing with a few steriotypical veiws of your own. People who eat foods they don't like and strive to appeal to society usually fail when it comes to weight loss. One should strive to be healthy above all else. Last time I checked healthy doesn't require eating "gross" food or looking…

5'5'' SW 155 US size 9/10 CW 140 US size 7 GW 135 Because of my naturally fuller frame 125 would be too small, so my original goal was 130. Now at 140, I'm actually liking what I see in the mirror. I'd still like to loose a few more pounds but now I'm focusing on losing inches. I plan on starting weight training in order…

If my clothes are still good I always let my mom and sis take a look before I get rid of them. Definitely get rid of your fat clothes. If your current clothes get tight....LOOSE THE WEIGHT....don't even allow yourself another option because its certainly easier to just grab the old jeans than to get focused and put in the…

If all the above posts took the words right out of your mouth! lol Also, if you change your meal plans because MFP database doesn't have the nutrition facts.

I didn't read the other responses BUT Do not EVER use the word cheat! Changing your lifestyle involves changing the way you think, and if you are "cheating" that means your lifestyle is optional. Simply put, eat what you want when you want IN MODERATION. When you want to have a bigger meal just allot for that meal in your…

hahahah funny you should ask. My bf's friend challenged me to do 20 guy push-ups I did 30! hahahaha He said I didn't go all the way down, but WHATEVER He just wasn't ready for the gun show!!!!!

@linli fashonistas ROCK!

nharder1 Nice smile! Nice scarf! Your make color palette suits you :-)
