I have a snack drawer too! I normally keep my protein powder, shaker bottle, quest bars, jerky, and my fish oil and other supplements in there so I don't forget to take them with me. In my case, there's nothing worse than being unprepared because it may cause me to foul up on my diet and buy a snack >_<

I definitely see a difference, you look slimmer! Great job!, and as long as those inches are coming off you are making progress!

As a lot of other have said, start NOW! I was horrified when I lost all the weight last time through cardio and eating at a deficit, I looked "skinny fat" as people put it.

The OP had good intentions, and her results are great! It's just that she didn't know how to express it properly/made a mistake. Correcting her multiple times and jumping on the situation doesn't help.

Oh..Mer..Gawd.....the hotness!!! Seriously though, amazing job!

There's nothing wrong with a nice steak, i would probably opt for a leaner cut, just to save on calories. If it's grass fed, that's even better, lots of good fats, but I can't always afford grass fed because I buy half a cow when I do. Chicken and turkey get boring after a while, switch it up and enjoy :)

It's actually kind of nice that he said that, when my hubby told me the same thing I felt a little better about myself knowing he loved me how I am, but your goal is your goal. Just let him know it will make you happier to be healthier and get to your goal size. I have no idea what you did before to loose weight, but maybe…

I hate Dr. Oz with a passion and proud to say it, he's disgusting.

I know, but I can't help but scream on the inside >_<

Has cool hair >_<

I second perky jerky, It's my guilty pleasure when i can afford to spend 5 bucks on a small bag, which is supposed to be 2 servings but I eat it in one :-D

Thanks for the replies, I do get sore for several days after full body routines, but it just would be nice to have more rest days as opposed to one. I really only do compound lifts and a few accessory lifts, I think I may try the 3x and see if I can handle it without crazy soreness.

Bump....anyone?

Great post, I second this, I didn't see the results I wanted until I starting lifting heavy and cleaning up my diet, getting more protein, and maintaining a caloric deficit. Cardio helps with the deficit, thus you'll loose scale weight, I just wasn't satisfied with the fat to muscle loss ratio I experienced while only…

Ahhhmazinggg job! You look great!!

I have a reaaallly similar story. Cardio is nice, but I think weights are the way to go, it makes you sexayyy. Way too much cardio and food restriction alone made me look like a bag of bones and fat!

I second washing with conditioner, its the only way to keep my curly hair hydrated and frizz free. Just buy a cheap bottle of conditioner like suave or tressemme just for that purpose, when you start to feel build up or dulling then shampoo that day.

I'm 23 and new to actually using MFP consistently. Add me guys :) I need some like minded people to get through this lol
