Check in the groups section for IF groups. I think there are some on here :) I know that I've seen lots of threads about it, anyway. As for myself, I don't do it. I just eat clean and work out regularly. Easier for me, but I know a few people who do IF and say that they've had good results.

I live in the Maritime part of Canada. It's been like -35 C the last few days. I work out at home, though. But I also use the bus system because my car is in pieces right now. I wear like 3 scarves over my face, hat, mitts, winter coat with a sweater underneath, extra socks, and a spare pair of socks as well for walking.…

Awesome work!! You look great!

Hi there! I work in the same field (MOA) and will be married two years this April! I also gained having just started a new job last Feb and being a newlywed. I've been part of MFP for about 4 years now and I've lost about half of my size. (I've gained 15 since reaching my goal weight). I'm doing 30 day shred combined with…

Portions. If there's veggies, load up on those. You could explain to the hostess that you are following a meal plan. If they don't like it, tough! You're the one doing good for your body. And if you mess up, start fresh when you get back, have it set in stone and check back here and get a good day / workout in. Holidays…

I do Brazil Butt Lift. Great program!! I recommend!!

This.

My personal preference. :) There's a lot of sugar in them, so I usually just split with my hubby.

Wow!!! Great results! Keep up the good work :D

I'm making room for a 1/2 of a pop tart on Saturday!! haha... I am looking forward to it!

When I was in college, I was paying for a wedding, school, and my home at the same time. Money was so tight, I still don't know how we managed to get by. Tips for people who are on a tight, tight budget are to buy frozen, freeze fruits that are bought, and honestly, I stocked up on bread and pasta. (Carbs, I know!) but I…

I spend about $80 a week or so on groceries for my husband and myself. Avoid all middle aisles, just get our fresh fruits and veggies, dairy, and meats and away we go! Edit to add: When we were eating heavily processed, including take out, and regular groceries - we spent probably around $160-$200 a week.

I don't think it is actually a clean food. I think it's one of those things like... seeing cheese in Paleo recipes, for example. Just something that slides by xD

I eat -mostly- clean, or try to at least. I don't consume protein powder anymore - I get my protein from clean foods like you mentioned. Eggs, nuts, meat, etc. To each their own, I suppose. Eating completely unprocessed and clean may not be doable by some people, and therefore they choose to get more protein in their diet…

All of my meals are important - but if I don't eat dinner I can't sleep! XD

I've gone from a 39" waist to a 26" waist and only ate 1200 for the first couple of months. Once I realized that I could eat more, I did. Now, that being said, as I started to eat cleaner, I would net less calories. But 1800 isn't as much as you think. Just be sure that those calories are nutrient rich and not overly…

I've never once set foot in a gym. Get some weights, or some DVDs (even check out Youtube). You'll do fine!

People tell me sometimes that I need to stop losing weight or to be careful. One b**** had the nerve to say "Oh, well, you'll lose weight now but then your body will eat itself because you're starving." Yes, my body is starving at 1600 calories. The girl who said it is obese, so it may have just been jealousy. Unless the…

I eat it as quickly as I can and followed by yummy fruit. My friend suggested mixing it with salsa once, though!

I love bananas. They've never hindered my weight loss, I don't believe. That was the chocolate and chips and stuff that I have occasionally. Seriously, I've never heard someone say, "I'm so fat - all of those bananas that I ate really made me pack on the weight."

I love spaghetti squash! I've only tried baking it.... what do you do when boiling it, guys?

You really need to work on not letting people on the internet get to you. I'm not trying to be mean, but if faceless comments disagreeing with what you post in a public forum (not everyone will always agree with you) make you give up on everything, I think that indicates something larger going on. Hope things get better.

Day made. XD

AMAZING WORK! You are an inspiration!

Go to your doctor. No one on these forums is going to be able to tell you for sure what it is.

Growing up, I remember doing lent, but I don't think I've really given up something in a few years. I will have to think about it and get back to you. ^^ Remember, guys, that lent is something that some people do involve themselves with and there are many Christians on this site. Just because you don't believe, doesn't…

Say hi!
