Awesome NSV! I remember when I finally felt confident to do Cosplay - it was a lot of fun and a great day not worrying about if I "looked" the part.

"Also- you're getting time to yourself- to work on yourself...but... what time does she get for herself (which might be causing the resentment). Take the kids off her hands for a couple of hours on the weekend- take them to the park, ride bikes- they can play- and you can use the time for jumping jacks, running, push ups,…

A: Women can and do go bald all the time just like men do. B: How do you know for sure that it's from weight loss? Did your Dr tell you that or is it a guess? There are hair thickening products you can buy and scalp massages that you can do. I don't have any personal experience with ones that work (I do have thyroid issues…

It's certainly not an area you see much gain in or tone, but I train every muscle and encourage everyone else to do the same. How are you exercising them?
-
Any specific reason you're leaving out the Protein and basic vitamins? Also as kshadows mentioned Fruit Loops serving size is NOT 1 cup, it's: 3/4 cup. I'm all for reading labels and eating the "less healthy" choice if that's what you're craving and it fits into your own personal dietary guidelines, however I do NOT stand…

Make it fit your calories and MACROs for the day and go for it. Caution: You'll be eating less that day so the alcohol will effect you quicker and better. Or eat normal with your beers/alcohol and even out the extra calories and carbs over the next day or two. (i.e. drink Friday, eat less on Saturday and Sunday). It's not…

A bra isn't going to change your body- that would be chest exercises. I was just suggesting for your own comfort, that it would be worth your while to look into a properly fitting one. It seemed odd to me that in none of the photos you seemed to be wearing one, I thought "maybe she doesn't have a good one". For me at least…

Do you like MorningStar Farms or GardenBurger or similar products? I eat meat- but still use their products as they're super delicious. Most are really good on fats (i.e. lower fat than the meat counterparts). Vegetarian chili with beans and quinoa and corn.
-
Get yourself a good bra. I mean great job on the weight loss and everything: You look fantastic. But seriously- put in the time to find a shop that measures you and buy at least 2 really good bra's.
-
IMO- you're never going to find your motivation again if you can't even schedule a Dr's appt. Living a healthy lifestyle (not just dieting to lose weight) is all about taking care of yourself- so go to the Dr. You're worth it.
-
Do it! I didn't lose much weight but I lost like 4-5 inches overall with Insanity. It sucks during but I would encourage you to keep at it. Edit: FYI- I've done the whole program twice.
-
I Love egg yolks, but many times I choose other fats instead so I just eat the whites. For me it's about making sure I keep my MACRO ratios correct- not just my calorie goal. I separate them myself as the carton of pre-separated egg whites is more expensive (where I shop) than whole eggs. I throw the yolks away and feel…

Yes it's being selfish: and that's OK. I had always been an uneven B cup (except for the last few months with my first pregnancy where I ended with a C), and after my 2nd son was done breast feeding I was a saggy even more uneven B cup. I didn't end up needing a lift, but I did get an augmentation and while I felt a little…
-
From starting at the top I could go down, but getting back up to the top again (even with calf help) just didn't feel right. I was uneven and the form was off. Maybe I should just stay away from them until I have someone one on one with me. :/
-
Hey! Thanks for the great idea. I'll try it out that way to start and work my way up.
-
Wishing you all the best.

They look the same.

bump - we have almost the same body fat stats and i'm interested in the responses you get.

Shout out to Meridian! Used to live there myself. I'm a mom of 3 boys between 6yr and 18mo. I know how busy it can be and how easy it is to miss meals or overeat or eat unhealthy or miss workouts. Feel free to add.

I'm a spanker. If one of my sons had acted like that he would have gotten smacked. Would the staring people have judged: Heck yea. Do they judge anyway: Heck yea. Every child and situation is different- it sounds like in this scenario you did everything right to try and avoid it (nap, snack, etc.) and once it happened you…

Need more info to offer any advice: How are you currently keeping track of your fat? Measurements? BF% read out on the scale? Bod Pod? Calipers? Pictures? What are your specific goals for body fat? What are your current calories and MACRO's set at? How are you "bomb"ing meals? Eating too much fat? Processed foods?? What…
-
Your scale can only tell you weight. It doesn't know the difference between you or a bag of flour. If you didn't eat an extra 3,500 calories then know that what it's weighing isn't additional fat in your body. After that it's all conjecture. Could be water retention. Could be poop. Some could be fat if you haven't been…

1. I log so that if there are no changes/I'm not hitting my goals I can go back and see what I'm doing so I know where to make changes. If I'm over on my fats 6 out of 7 days every week for the last month maybe work harder on keeping that MACRO in check. 2. "especially at work" makes it sound more like boredom than true…
-
Great progress!

^^money saving FTW! Also one of the items I purchased from BB was their bar and weights for it (not sure if they have more than one model), but I really like mine. The bar has a bit of a squish to it so I can get a good grip and not callous up my girly hands, plus the weight clips are super easy to slide on and off. My…

Just because you fall off the wagon doesn't mean you should set it on fire. OR Just because you pop 1 tire doesn't mean you should slash the other 3. Cravings are normal: If you're craving pizza then have a slice and the craving will go away- you will not feel compelled to eat the whole pie. Binging 99% of the time has…

It's never fun not knowing if/when your package will arrive. I'm going through that right now: over $100 spent and nothing to show for it. Tracking say's it's in my country but no further information. I'll admit it was a sketchy deal to begin with but I was hoping it would be ok. I've ordered several products from…

^^This. I was 130lbs and a size 8, got my butt moving and dropped to a size 3 but still weighing 130lbs.

Go ahead and brag- you accomplished your goal! That's always something to celebrate ... just not with cake ;) I can't wait to hear more from you as you reach your next goal. Keep up the good work.
