I also have stick straight hair and completely feel your pain with growing it out! "Professional" can mean a bunch of different things, so what works for me might not be professional enough for you. When my hair was that length I used clips and bobby pins to pin it off to the side most days. I also would use headbands on…

The honesty in this made me laugh....

While I agree with those who say that if it's important to you then you make time, but I understand the realities of life as well. I used to have that life, although with only 1 little one at home. Hubby and I were two ships passing in the night so when I wasn't working I was in parent mode. If you can't find the time to…

Congrats on getting to goal weight (almost)! I'm about 10 pounds away. I lost my weight staying at 1500 calories (net - I eat my exercise cals back). Maintenance will be between 1700-1750 I think, so when I got to 10 pounds away I upped my net cals to 1600. I haven't lost much since, but that's probably due to me falling…

I kept my calories at 1500 for the first 65 pounds lost. I eat back my excercise calories, so that was a net 1500. My deficit got smaller as my TDEE decreased along with my weight. My maintenance calories at goal weight (another 10 pounds) will be 1700-1750. With that in mind I increased my calories to 1600 recently and…

This!

I've never thrown something AT another person in anger, but I have thrown things. One time I was driving and got very angry thinking about something, picked up my wedge shoe that I had in my passenger seat, and chucked it at the dashboard. It bounced up and cracked my windshield while I was driving down the highway at 70…

It's not exact, but logging something close will still help you be concious of what you're consuming. I travel frequently for work and would rather eat at local restaurants rather than chains. So I guestimate what I'm eating and drinking and usually try to log a similar food from a chain restaurant (i.e. eggplant parmesan…

2 slices of turkey bacon, hard boiled egg, and my coffee. ~175 calorie breakfast that keeps me full for at least 3 hours!

It was your first week, right? I wouldn't be worried - the first week tends to be a big drop in water weight. Your losses should start to slow down in the coming weeks. BTW, I think that eating more than 1200 calories a day is usually a good thing! I don't know how tall you are and has a big impact your TDEE so you may be…

Yay, two in a row that I can do while at work!!

I agree - it is misleading. If I'm down from yesterday but haven't reached a new low I record it then immediately go to my page and delete that post so that I'm not being congratulated over and over for losing the same weight. If it is a new low then I leave the post as is!

I weigh in daily (unless I'm away from home) and log whatever it is. My graph looks like an EKG readout, but I like seeing the reality of what's happening.

Done! Did sets of 50, alternating the direction I rotated in!

It happened for me, so I believe it will happen for you too. When I had started diets before I felt like that. I thought about food so much that at work I would play games with my mind. I would have packed a lunch and several healthy snacks. Then I would get to work and figure out what times I could eat based on eating at…

How about some goals that are directed at toning and more specifics about healthy eating? Like a goal to be able to do xx consecutive pushups, pullup, etc. Or reach a certain amount of protein each day (or be below sodium or sugar numbers). Or eat fruits and veggies every day.

Didn't complete it :( My day kind of got away from me yesterday...

I'm in!

Done!

In!

I have no upper body strength :( I wasn't able to complete this challenge, but it did remind me that once upon a time I was going to do the 100 pushups program. Maybe I should do that....

Done! Did 4 sets of 75 each...

I'm in!

I got them all done! Great challenge - thanks for posting it!

I never seem to post by midnight (don't get on an actual computer at night much anymore), but I got 100 done on each side!

I'm in!

In!

Almost there! I'm at 57.5/60 MTD - only 2.5 minutes to go!

I'm in!

That was hard, but I did it!
