  • OP, you don't have to cut out the foods you enjoy to lose weight...plug your numbers into MFP (go with a 1-1 1/2 lb per week loss), eat back a portion (if not all) of your exercise calories, log your food consistently, exercise regularly (a mix of cardio and weights), and plan for treats from time to time. Most important…
  • OP is an 18 year old girl. Let's take it down a notch and have some compassion, shall we? I'm not opposed to being direct, but assuming that this OP is full of excuses based on her very first post on the site is more than a little harsh.
  • Just had this one done two weeks ago. It's only my fourth one but is my largest and most awesome one to date!!
  • Just chiming in to agree with others...lower your weekly weight loss goal to give yourself a higher daily calorie goal. There is NO reason to torture yourself in the quest to lose weight. It really CAN be done in a way that you are not constantly hungry and reduced to bingeing each day. Feed your body on your terms, and…
  • I love my cottage cheese savory so a bit of Sriracha on top is a go-to for me. I also love cottage cheese on top of a baked potato with some salt and pepper.
  • So, I realized I asked the wrong question. What part of being fat is bad FOR ME knowing that all of my health markers are good?
  • But why? What would be the point in knowing that number? I'm healthy AND carry extra weight. Why do I need to know my BF%?
  • So, what if I told you that all of my most important health markers are well within the "good" ranges, I lift like a boss, crossfit several days a week, and carry at least 40 extra pounds for my height per BMI charts. What part of all of that is bad? I ask this because you would look at me, see that I am fat (and gross,…
  • You look AMAZE-BALLS, Jeannie!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love:
  • I stole this from a member of a group I belong to on Facebook and it cracked me up. This is the best description of Paleo dieting I have ever seen. If you think you can follow such arbitrary food rules and sustain that over the long haul, go for it. Me? I'm gonna eat what I want as long as it fits my calorie and macro…

  • Deadlift a Svelte Wildebeest. Squat a Fledgling Hippo. Bench a Young Male Puma. Press a Baby Zebra.
  • We tested 1RM on a bunch of stuff a few weeks back. Here's mine: Back Squat: 215 Press: 80 Deadlift: 245 Total: 540
  • I'm with boston...I would never consider the way you are managing your workouts to be cherry picking. My definition of cherry picking falls in line with his, as well. To me, cherry picking is about avoiding WODs that you would just rather not do for no other reason than you suck at 'X' (where X usually equals one of your…
  • If the ones that are blocked here at the office are even half as good as the ones that aren't, I'm gonna be crying with laughter at home!!
  • I stole this from a member of a group I belong to on Facebook and it cracked me up. This is the best description of Paleo dieting I have ever seen!!! "Just remember, plant oils are BAD because they're unsaturated fats, except for coconut oil and palm oil because they're saturated and that is GOOD. And butter and beef…

My newly tested one-reps thus far are: Back Squat - 215lbs Clean - 120lbs Front Squat - 160lbs We've been testing one lift each week and I can't wait to see what next week brings!!!
  • I won't pretend to know that I know what you should do, but it does sound like you are doing many of the things that you should be doing to help (no longer restricting calories, no rigid rules, allowing you favorites). That said, it may be time to talk to an ED counselor to get the help of a professional.
  • We just might have a winner here, folks!!
  • BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
