  • I'm a 34D, and I'm fine with that, but if by the end of my weight loss journey I'm a 34C, I wouldn't be mad! I feel like in t-shirts and big shirts my big boobs stretch it out more and make me look heavier than I am.
  • I try to eat intuitively. Which means, when I'm hungry, I eat. If I'm not hungry, I don't. If I don't want dinner and I'm not hungry, I don't eat it. But during the day if I'm really hungry, I'll snack on fruit and veggies and not deprive myself of food just to wait for the next meal. I also don't force myself to eat, so…
  • McDonalds. I just can't deal with it knowing how gross that place's food is. Their fries are incredible though, I'll admit that...just I stay far far far away from it.
  • I try to only stick to once a week, but recently I'm trying to wait a month before I weigh again. I feel like the scale can be discouraging at times if it doesn't say what I want on it. I don't measure that much, usually once about every 2 months. As long as you don't become obsessive with it, that's fine, just know that…
  • Invest in a heart rate monitor for sure. The machines you work out on are robots really, and so is MFP, so if it says you've burned 600 calories when you've really only burned 100, then you eat 600 extra that you thought you burned off, it will lead to weight gain! Good luck!
  • It's a myth, really. Back a few decade ago birth control had more estrogen in it, causing weight gain for sure. But now the estrogen levels are lower from my understanding, it's usually increasing cravings which can cause weight gain, or water retention. Most women seem to lose the weight after a few months. Just stick to…
  • Hi there! It usually takes longer to go through a plateau, but first of all I'm sorry about your loss. Sometimes it's fluid retention, and in that case you need to drink more water as weird as that sounds, because the less water you drink the more your body "clings" to it and it can cause water weight. So drink a ton of…
  • You should figure out your BMR. Mine for example is 1,978, but when you subtract 500 (which is what you do if you're trying to lose weight, so if I wanted to maintain my weight I could eat 2,000 a day) then I'm at 1,978. So you should figure out your BMR first, you then have to multiply your BMR by the Harris-Benedict…
  • Hi! I've been a vegetarian and a vegan, and I'm currently a vegetarian. I don't drink plain milk and I don't eat plain eggs, but I eat things like Greek yogurt and stuff. I've felt so much better without eating meat, and I haven't had issues with nutrition except sometimes I don't have enough iron. But that's it! I highly…
  • I love heels! I'm 5'7" and I still walk around in 5 inch heels sometimes. As long as they're comfortable (And it is possible to find comfortable heels) then I love it!
  • I've gotten asked if I was pregnant. At fourteen years old. This was a few years ago, but at one point my mom thought I was pregnant and was bawling trying to get me to confirm to her that I was a virgin and that I really wasn't pregnant. It was a mess. I'm like "sorry mom...I guess I just got fat."
  • Desserts and mac and cheese. Ugh.
