Your resting heart rate is lower, which means you're burning less calories throughout the day

I'm starting again after a long hiatus -- add me!

Yes, I frolick. :smile:

Be very careful. You're likely to regain when you start eating normally. Increase your cals slowly when you make it to goal.

You can play around with positioning (high bar vs. low bar squats) or even front squats. Some gyms have padding that you clip or velcro to the bar. As you build the muscles in your back, it will hurt less.

This ^^^^^ You're less likely to have a heart attack with a B belly. If anything, be thankful for that.

It takes just as much time to stumble through the produce section of a grocery store for some bananas and a pint of berries. Eat an entire freakin container if you must. Still a better choice.

See doctor immediately. Pain between the shoulder blades and dizziness is a sign of a heart attack.

Sugar may disrupt metabolism, but let's not get confused. Over-eating is what causes obesity.

You can use your kitchenaid mixer to do this as well. I learned this the hard way when I was trying to make whipped cream.

Yeah. If I go outside right now, there are thrips and aphids crawling on my tomato and pepper plants. There are japanese beetles eating my green beans. When I was a child, growing up in the country, we'd pick the beetles off the blackberries and eat the berries. And, I'm still alive. Go figure.

Sounds to me like she had different priorities. She gave you foods like bread and jam that you were happy to eat and did not waste.

^^^THIS^^^ Also, you're gorgeous! Tell EVERYONE the things he says to you. EVERYONE. Silence is your enemy. You have NO IDEA how convoluted your thoughts and feelings become until you say them aloud. He is a gaslighter and I guarantee he will stop saying these things when you do. Either out of humiliation or absence.

I have to disagree about the pickle jar. Now when I tap in on the countertop, it just breaks the whole jar. *girlySMASH*

Was he wearing a ski mask and carrying this?? ....... I think I've made my point.........

Maybe this has been posted already, but I'm just too lazy to read all the replies. Derp. Studies show that endurance running will cause hypothyroid, slowing your metabolism. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323550604578412913149043072.html#articleTabs%3Darticle

I've been trying to think of fat loss in terms of cutting, but I just don't know enough about it. Is losing 150 lbs of cellulite considered a cut?

Pink feather boas make everything funner. :D

200 grams?? This is might be my problem. My protein is set for 35% (165 grams) at the moment and I never, ever meet it. Thanks!

Only if they moo or cluck.

Every time I'm in the gym, I aim for 45 minutes of lifting and an hour on the elliptical. The lifting I started in January to raise my bmr, so I guess in that respect, I'm still a noob. Even on a deficit I'm definitely building muscle, although I think it has slowed at this point. I know the standard is to take off every…

I eagerly await the first ****ery-filled criminal case because someone slipped this drug into a woman's drink.

Tendinitis/Tennis elbow. Next time, rest your elbows on a pillow.

I swear to god, I thought you were a 16 girl until I clicked your profile. Pathetic. You know you can always judge a man by how he treats his mother.

I weigh about the same as you (albeight older!), so you're welcome to look at my diary. Weight tends to fall off when I eat just above BMR, BUT I still loose at TDEE-20%. Fortunately, you have a lot of wiggle room. It'll be trial and error until you find your body's sweet spot.

Bumpty bump

White, but only if you wear that necklace!
