Watching movies & eating pizza that makes you feel sick --- not a good idea?

My best friend (who is a guy) always tells me that confidence is 100x more attractive than size. He's not picky when it comes to size, but a woman who is confident about herself is much more attractive than face, size, etc. It's possible, OP, that you just have a new air of confidence and people are noticing. I know that,…

Anyone can add me as a friend. My current goal is to drop the 10 that I've gained since the end of September. Ideally 40 pounds by the end of June... I'm at 4 pounds. I know that I have more once I drop the first 40, but I have to make small goals. Overall, I'm looking to lose 80-90 pounds.

Hehehe

I think for some people this is totally healthy. For other people, it might not be. My sister dropped 30 lbs in about 3 months, but she was over 300 pounds when she started. And that was through diet and exercise. I get what you're trying to say, though. I want to be under 200 lbs by the end of June. That would take losing…

Ahhhh just read this while eating lunch and listening to my coworker talk about chapped nipples... Not only do I want a donut now, but I think I burned off some of my hummus & green peppers from laughing so hard. Success!!

Other than just normal days when I eat an obscene amount of food??? I drove 2.5 hours to see my brother's band concert. I had stopped and got a few things off the dollar menu at Wendy's for dinner. When my brother told me that he DIDN'T want to hang out with me that night, I went back to my hotel room and looked up what…

Ah yes! No new shoes or clothing. My tips: 1) Set a goal... whether that be to finish or to run/jog the entire time or to not trip at the finish line... 2) Wear layers that can easily be shed, but also carried with 3) Fuel up!!! Have a good snack available for after when your body is recovering. Oops that was three.....

Yes, you can eat too much fruit. It would be better for you eat mostly vegetables than mostly fruit. Try for a week to log everything you eat and come back. Let us see what you're eating to accurately help you.

Working out 3-4 times a week is good. But if you are worried about man boobs, then do some chest exercises to bulk up your pecs a bit. The other thing is that we don't exactly know what you mean that your face is bloated. The poster that mentioned bloating after an ED is spot on. If you were eating very low, your face is…

Chicken is high in protein.

Update your goals to reflect the calories and macros as recommended by the scooby site. Then it won't tell you that you're overeating.

Born and raised in Wisconsin. Been a Packer fan since I was about 10 or so. Even in the down years, I cheered them on...watching faithfully while living in Bear country with a Colts fan...

Cause you're not eating enough. If 1775 is your recommended caloric intake, try that for 3 weeks and see what the results are. I had mine low (because that's what MFP told me to do) and when I changed to the TDEE, I found I wasn't as hungry, which meant I wasn't overeating. I've been struggling the last three weeks, so I'm…

Ladies, you need to make sure you measure yourself accurately. Odds are, those that are having to wear more than one bra are wearing a bra that's at least 2 cup sizes too small. I think if you go on you tube, you can find videos on how to accurately measure ... it involves leaning forward, not standing up straight... this…

Everything I've read so far, in the way of advice, is good. Awesome job everyone who answered!!!

^^^This is what real advice is!!

My mom is notorious for starting a diet herself and buying all the good stuff, then falling off the bandwagon. However, she is also notorious for ordering take-out and getting frozen pizzas when I'm trying to lose weight. Eager to move out on my own again!!

I think the OP meant that it's easy to say no one can control us, but it doesn't last forever. At some point, people have more control over us than we ever desired. Yes, it is a struggle that is different for everyone. Sometimes people have control over us and we don't even realize it.

Within the last year or two, my weight has started to show more in my belly. I hate this. At least when I was carrying it in my thighs, it could be hidden. Now I feel like hiding it requires restricting undergarments that squash my internal organs and cause general discomfort. Also, my lack of confidence...

May I ask what your plan was? While you prefaced this that you are poking fun, it's clear that you're doing so because you do feel guilty. So, let's work through this... does everyone bring something? If so, next time bring a big huge platter of fruit. When you walk in that room, find the one thing that you're really…

I sure hope those calories were tasty! I've gone over on days and thought to myself, what WAS I thinking?! It wasn't even good food! As everyone else said, just relax. Stressing is only going to make it worse. If you feel that you need to eat a little less or work out a little more over the next two-three days, then do it.

haha!

I used those and I actually underestimated my body fat percentage. I am only 5'4". I followed the protein levels in the sexypants post that everyone is saying is what I should use. That's my whole problem. My goal, according to that, is around 145 g of protein a day. I know how to figure it out. I just can't believe that's…

I requested you! I'm not great at commenting, but I do try to support my friends, when possible. I also like friends who are active!

Why are you eating fish oil capsules for breakfast?! That's the most important meal of the day! Get yourself some real food for breakfast! I had 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast, 2 sausage links and a cup of coffee the other morning. It was over 500 calories, but I was satisfied all morning. I had fat, carbs, and protein all…

1400 on maintenance?! That's way too low. I imagine that you exercise, as well. (Hard to know for sure any details cause your profile is minimal.) I don't want to label, discourage, or judge, but it sounds like you are heading in the direction of an eating disorder. Please get some professional help (either with gaining &…

This! The exact reason I shouldn't be reading comments at work. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

oooooh this could be a problem for me!!!! I'm game for making that a rule, though. :wink:

Size 12??? No flippin clue!! I'm in a size 18... I have been for like 8 years? My weight has fluctuated about 10 pounds less to 15 pounds more in that time frame and the 18 hasn't changed.
