Great job hun, you look awesome!

Before: 190-195 Now/During: 169

These delicious low-cal chocolate cookies i have a recipe for ^_^

Honestly, I can gain 2-3 pounds of water weight during my period, and then it drops right off when I'm done. Just step away from the scale for that week, you'll thank yourself later.

The new size 10 jeans that I bought a little over a month ago are getting loose already! Feels good, man.

Everyone here looks fantastic! Keep it up, guys.

It's from a Streetlight Manifesto song: "So how will we fight?/ All we have is logic and love on our side"

Basically, I was about to say this. While I understand waiting for a while to become sexually involved with someone (I'm the same way) being completely distant can make you come off as uninterested, too. We live in a crazy, slut-shaming and puritanical society where you're told that women are easy and have no self respect…

I could sit here and spout about how the internet is full of misinformation and negative calorie foods are a myth, but here, have an article from the Mayo Clinic's website instead: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/negative-calorie-foods/AN02040

Honestly, and I know this might sound strange, but getting in touch with my sexuality is what keeps my sex drive high in my relationship as well. I *kitten* pretty regularly, and not only has it helped me learn what i like and need, but it keeps me interested in being sexual, especially when I can teach my man to do what I…

Honestly, you just have to keep your goals and the big picture in mind. Just because a day or a week isn't perfect, that doesn't mean you have to let it ruin the rest of our life. The most important thing for me is looking at everything, not just those frustrating moments. I can't speak for how to deal with your boyfriend,…

Thanks! Also I couldn't help but notice your icon, how long have you been reading LFG?

Thanks! I'm 5'7.5", 5'8" on a good day lol.

They're both from H&M - all their stuff is amazing. And thanks guys ^_^

Can I just say, you can't automatically claim that 1700 is "way too much" for everyone, or that it will make you gain. When I was eating 1200-1300 and exercising, I stopped losing after a while. Upped my calories to 1650, and what happened? I'm losing again, and consistently. I'm not saying that what works for me would…

Feel free to add me; I struggled with eating disorder issues for 3+ years, mostly purging, but I got help 2 years ago, and even though it's been a bumpy road, my last purge was over 6 months ago. Even though I've switched to a healthy lifestyle, it's sometimes tempting to slip into old habits, or form new bad ones, like…

The anterior raises absolutely kill me, as do the sit ups. I try to do as many as I can fully extended, but it's rough. I also use 5 pound weights, and I know I couldn't raise them for all the exercises. I might for the chest flys though, because they're not all that challenging. Also, my sports bra is from lucy; I believe…

Since anything under 122 is considered "underweight" for 5'8" women, would you really still say it's a "very healthy weight"? I can't judge because I obviously don't know your specific body or metabolism, but generally, I'd hardly call that a healthy weight for someone of your height. Also, just chiming in to agree with…

A pound of fat is about 3500 excess calories. To lose 7.5 pounds a month, you'd be losing about 1.9 pounds a week, so you'd have to have a 950 calorie deficit each day, meaning you'd eat 950 calories less than you burn (1.9 x 3500 = 6650 cals, 6650 cals / 7 days a week = 950 cals). While that's easier to do when you're…

I get triple grande lattes, either nonfat or soy. If I'm just thirsty, the unsweetened passion tea lemonade is delicious, and super low cal!

Thanks guys! Glad I'm not the only one lol. Finished day 5 today, I'll probably get 2 in tomorrow since I'm not working, so then I'll have 7 days finished instead of 10.

Lol thanks guys, my butt is basically what's helped me love my lower body throughout my life. I'm just glad the legs are finally joining the party :p

This is honestly my take on it. Someone commented on my diary the other day saying I was eating too many carbs, even though I always stay well under what mfp suggests, and under my calorie limit. You know what? No. I'd rather have that sliver of cake and lose the weight a little more slowly while enjoying my life, thanks.

Honestly, if your relationship has gotten to the point where you trust each other and it's a serious, physical relationship, I think getting yourself to feel comfortable with them is important. Even at my heaviest, I felt comfortable being naked around my boyfriend, because honestly, if he were the kind of person who would…

Before measurements: 40-32-42 (lower stomach, 36.75)

Totally forgot to submit mine earlier...I submitted it to the google doc, should that do the trick or should I message them as well?

You absolutely can! Of course, moderation is different depending on what food you're eating (i.e. cheesecake vs. vegetables or a chicken breast).

I make these super chocolatey low-fat cookies that are only 60 cals each, but the flavor is intense, so 1 or 2 will do me for dessert. Also, the skinny cow fudge bars are 100 cals, and they're pretty damn big, too.

I'm 5'8", so with heels I'm around 6 feet tall. I've had short-term relationships with guys around my height, but my long term boyfriends have been between 6'1" and 6'4". Being tall (and between 170 and 180 pounds most of my life), I tend to feel awkwardly large with small guys. But that's just me.
