  • I have a bad evening eating habit as well...one approach that helps sometimes is just to decide that i'll have it for breakfast instead. I try to shake up my day by staying out a bit later (going swimming, usually ;-)) and then when I get home just resisting eating long enough to get into bed and fall asleep early...and…
  • Sure...I'm almost 30, lost about 15 kg (35ish lb?) a few years ago, gained a bit back but mostly kept it off, and now have some more time and stability again and looking to get in better shape and lose another 20-30kg or so (70ish lb.) Will add you guys!
  • This is an interesting question. There's a good thread on thermogenic adaptation here that gives a very condensed answer to what is known from some research about this: "So what is going on? - Possibly muscles are more efficient? (lots of data that support that) - Neuroendocrine function changes? (even more data that…
  • Theoretically, using the calories in-calories out method that is the basis of MFP, at some point one does reach goal weight, and then RAISE their calories to maintenance. Since you're now smaller than you were before you lost weight, that maintenance number is lower than it was, but it's still higher than the number you…
  • In my quest to find a creative way of eating a can of tuna, I added it to a bowl of instant noodles. So far so good. Yesterday...I left out the noodles. So this "recipe" is now: can of tuna, hot water, ginger, pepper, garlic, masala. I can't tell if I really think it's quite tasty, or have such crap food habits that I…
  • Let's see if I can get this to work - 17kg in the heaviest thing I had to hand. I couldn't pick them up - at this rate, the stack is going to be over my head before I'm done.
  • Quoting myself from back in April, now at 195ish (88kg,) i'm 114-89-114, or, 45-35-45. Still 5 ft 5.
  • I've gone down from a full 85E (About 38DD, I think, American) to a comfortable 80E (36DD) having lost about 30 pounds. BTW, the DD cup of a 38 IS LARGER than the DD cup of a 36. The cup size is a function of the difference between breasts and chest, not an independent one. If I hadn't lost volume in the cup as well, i'd…
  • Feel free to add me - i'm 5'5, started at 230 too, 27 years.
  • I had kind of an interesting one (well, to me.) It's been very hot and I couldn't sleep, so I kind of said **** it and decided to finish like half a tub of ice cream as a midnight snack...and didn't. I ate a bit, enjoyed it, and then just had enough and put it away. I had the whole thing tracked, it fit in my calories and…
  • Well, yeah. Happier, anyhow. I was never overweight to the point where it really stopped me doing anything in particular, but I was uncomfortable with my body, not very energetic, sleeping badly, etc. I've still got another 50-60 lbs to go, i'm still fairly fat, but the 30 lbs down so far is an accomplishment and it is…
  • I'll second/third/whatever the go-too-small suggestion. Too-small sports bra over regular bra works pretty well for me. Once I even found a regular tank top (cost like 5 dollars) from a fairly thick fabric, got the smallest size that I could force over my boobs, cut off the bottom, and voila. It was actually a pretty good…

  • I'm not sure, I think it depends on what you're going for, (strengthening muscles? improving cardio? Getting into swimming per se as a sport?) and what you won't get bored with, perhaps. I swim quite a lot, but really mainly as an extra - an easy 1 or 2 km, two-four times a week, mostly breast stroke, usually as a cooldown…
  • 27, feel free to add me.
  • Yeah, you're clearly measuring wrong, somehow. If your clothes fit differently (better,) then the shape of your body has obviously changed. Give it more time, perhaps - I measure quite frequently, (I sew, so I like to keep close track in mind for projects. And I just like to have a lot of numbers) and sometimes I see long…
  • I once had an underwire snap during a yoga class. It took me a strangely long time to work out that a piece of metal was digging itself into my skin while I did candle stands...
  • With ice cream, I actually try to use weight - say, 100 gram, which, yes, will occupy more space than 100 gram of water.
  • The tattoo on her hip says, I think - "god...*something*...his family". A bit of an unfortunate font, I think - that's the Hebrew equivalent of comic sans.
  • Kinda terrible - leftover chicken wing and frozen pizza, but it's really an early lunch and it all fits in the daily goal, so i'm allowing it for once.
  • Had to wear a belt today with the jeans that were skin tight two months ago. Also bought new running shoes yesterday - the first time I have ever actually worn out a pair of sports shoes.
  • I struggle to hit 100g too - chicken, eggs, cheeses (yellow, cottage, quark,) and a lot of canned tuna. If i'm really short by the end of the day, i'll just eat a can of tuna with a bit of mustard or cottage cheese or something, but I admit i'm beginning to get a little tired of it.
  • Grapes surprised me as well, but other fruit actually went the other way - strawberries, pineapple, mango, peaches, apricots, tangerines - all fewer calories than I expected. I was a bit paranoid about sweet fruit, I guess. I also thought beef was the answer to all protein woes, but it turns out chicken breast actually has…
  • I go back and forth on Farscape. Sometimes I think it's bloody brilliant, sometimes it just looks like a mishmash of bright colors and gimmicks.
  • I like Buffletop Crumpetsnatch as much as anyone, but Sherlock itself I just find tedious beyond belief. A shoddy House knockoff without even the modicum of complexity and vulnerability that show managed. The very definition of style over substance. I really don't like it.
  • Congrats! You look fantastic (...fond as I am of your excellently adorable Amy costume <3)
  • ...whatever I feel like. I'm terrible. Usually it's 10-20 minutes of walk/jog/run to warm up, 10-20 minutes of stretching, 3-4 lifting exercises - bench, deadlift, squats, overhead, situps (3 sets each, but sometimes I I'll do short ones if I'm upping the weight, sometimes i'll drop down a bit and do more easy ones...) and…
  • ...won't you take me home tonight...
  • Ah, Carnivale :-( I'm not really much of a fan of GoT (read and love the books, the show kind of misses the best bits, imo) but what i've seen has showcased some phenomenal acting. I really liked the guy who played Viserys as well - such a great mix of mean and pathetic, pitiable and cruel.
  • 165cm 99 kg 119-100-126cm or, if i've got your fancy imperial stuff right: 5ft 5 220 lb 46-39-49
  • The Blacklist is fun when it's on its game...sometimes it gets a little draggy for my taste though.
