It doesn't matter what you look like- anyone exercising regularly is doing a "good job." Maybe she looks at you and thinks, "I'm just walking, maybe I should be running like she is. I admire her dedication." Regardless of how she meant it, all that matters is how exercise is making you feel, not what other people may or…

Sounds yummy.

Fiber is a good thing. Just make sure you're drinking a lot of water so it doesn't cause discomfort.

If that sample person was too stuck on the scale, she'd want to lose muscle. That example also points out that the amount of lean body mass is important in calculating goal weight.

I had kind of the opposite problem more than halfway through my weight loss. A couple dates talked about the activities they liked to do (hiking, etc.), and I told them I did, too. They apparently didn't believe me. I've lost about 30 more lbs since and have enjoyed those activities. I guess they were wrong.

Only bought candy to give out that I knew I wouldn't even remotely want to eat. Too bad only one kiddie came by :(. Now we have a bowl full of candy, but at least I know I won't be the one to empty it.

I love morningstar... but I won't eat patties of anything because I don't think they taste good, even when I ate meat. Don't judge fake meat based on one product. I've tried all different kinds and there are definitely some really gross ones out there and some really great ones that my meat-loving family and boyfriend beg…

I'm in for my first challenge :)

I've had the same thing happen. While realizing the smallest size is too big I'm looking around thinking, "What do the skinny people wear?" I don't know what Gap sizing is like, but I can only shop in junior sizes now at some stores. (Still wondering what the skinny people wear if they're too mature for juniors sizing and…

I'm vegetarian... though for some reason (maybe the life-long food issues), I still haven't been able to let people view my food diary. I like making new friends, but I am not on here everyday if that's what you're looking for. Feel free to send a message :)

That is what happened to me, too. I've been up and down (while still overweight/obese) since I was a kid. This time just felt different. The most I'd lost before is 35 lbs, and I definitely gained more than that back. Not gaining just feels easier now. It's a mental thing and always was. The failed attempts in the past are…

I've been getting those character cookies! They're amaaaaaazing. My boyfriend laughs at me because I act like a little 5 year old. Luckily, we only shop once a week... If I'm not craving them, I don't get them (I wish that happened more often). I lick off the frosting and give him the cookies.

I've had the same problem the last few days. Somehow my stomach never felt full and I've just felt ravenously hungry. Then I realized what time of the month it is (stupid hormones)... It always happens around now, just usually not this bad. Unless it's psychological, it'll probably pass as long as you try to get back into…

Rice milk is too thin. I'm not a huge fan of almond milk either. I like sunflower milk the best. I usually have to add a bit of sweetener, but it's definitely nice and thick and not at all watery. Doubt it's available in the UK. There's only one company here I've seen that makes it.

Brand new tires and horses

Fiber One cereal or Vitalicious Vitatops. I had the cereal for my after dinner snack tonight :)

Mine told me he loved my body when we met (155) and now, about 25 lbs less. He has expressed concern about me losing too much or gaining muscle because he said he doesn't want to date a man (aka, muscle definition), while I would be in heaven if I looked like Jamie Eason.

I had the same thing happen with milk and bread. Nothing is gone from my diet completely, but I went from eating several pieces of bread and at least 4 glasses of milk a day to having each once or twice a week

It is illegal to touch someone in that manner without their consent where I'm from... You might want to look into that (and I'm assuming your own actions since you are so nonchalant about it) if you think all of the women are giving bad advice for telling her not to deal with it.

Me too!!! I love them and still eat them occasionally when I know I don't have anything important to do the rest of the day. I've been trying to figure out the same thing. And mine are definitely ripe- I don't like the taste if there's any green on them at all.

It's up to you, but it sounds like he has a little growing up to do. Expecting the guy you date to respect your physical boundaries is not asking too much. Don't bend on things that are important to you because some guy is trying to get in your pants. He isn't worth it. I'd recommend finding someone who does not make you…

The first one is from Top Gun (My dog's registered name is from that line)

It happens more dramatically in some people than others. No way to know until you do it. I'm pretty sure most people who complain about it on here aren't wishing they didn't lose the weight if that says anything. It's the only thing I like in my "before" pictures, but I like a lot more in my "after" ones :)

If everyone could afford to get genetic testing to get an idea of how meds will metabolize in them, it'd make prescribing things a lot easier for doctors. Until then, if you need something, there's nothing wrong with trying it out.

I refused to wear shorts since I was a kid because of that. When I started working out, my thighs hated me. I can wear them now, but I still actually prefer workout capris. I found some great ones at target and the fabric is smooth so any thigh rubbing isn't noticable. The other option is to just buy shorter shorts if…

Feel free. People generally like to avoid confrontation, but dragging things along for absolutely no reason causes it, doesn't avoid it. The only clean breaks for me were the up front ones. I don't feel the need to "improve"- why would I want to change when there is someone who will be fine with my perceived faults? (found…

I love this one. That is one that I refuse to let them go with. I'll call bull*hit and make them tell me they just plain don't like me. I'm honest and I prefer it in return. Being relatively blunt (but not mean) with things like this is the way to go. If you just fade out or you come up with a silly excuse, it leaves the…

I've been having that problem the past several months. Most days I say- I'm doing this for myself not anyone else, so it doesn't matter how you'd prefer my body to look. When I'm PMSing, I start to question whether their right about stopping and somehow still see way too much fat in the mirror at the same time. I figure…

Probably about a month or two. It tends to happen when I lose focus even if I still think I'm doing everything the same. Just have to build the energy and motivation back each time.

Men: Muscular thighs and chest (way more important than a 6 pack) Women: defined waist
