LIFT HEAVY!! You will not get bulky, and the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism aaand the easier it is to lose fat. And you will just have to learn that the scale lies... I used to weigh myself daily and was sooo caught up with the number that my health suffered... Now i lift heavy, eat more, and im fine with…

almond milk

Caroline, noah, lacey

What i dislike.... Is when people post their success stories. They just seem to be so positive(ik that they should be very happy with themselves though!) Anyways... its insipiring to see someones success, but for the person that hasnt reached their goals yet, its a little discourageing, because they dnt seem to explain how…

If your eating sweets and stuff everyday then i dont think cheat days are really needed, but thats just my opinion. However, if you want to take the day off tomorrow, then do it! You can also pre add the cocktails so your not sooo far over... But good job with sticking with MFP so far!

I'm on here waaayyy more than i am on facebook! I check MFP whenever i get the chance... And depending on how bored i am is how long i stay on here each day, ha.

Coconut oil, olive oil, peanut butter, almonds... Eat some healthy fats!

I've been there toooo:) Now i just stay away from cardio...hahah i hate it. But the only way to gain confidence in the weight room is to just suck it up and go lift!! Just look up some lifts, that way you know your doing them right, and just slowly start going into the weight room more and more.

Eat whenever ya wannnaaa eat!! I do IF tho, so i dont eat breakfast or past 6ish.... But im not hungry during those times now anywaaays.

Good point!!! Eat about 1 gram protein per 1 pound of your body weight...Or somewhere around there... And DONT eat the "low fat" version of things.... People need fat (healthy fats) and it helps with hunger and yeaaahhh.

Your metabolism slows because of extreme calorie deficits... What happens is... Your body needs waaay more calories than you are giving it, just for you to be able to lay in bed all day(depending on how little your eating) So, in order for your body to funtion, it tried to lower its needed calories to match what your…

AMAZZZIIIINGGG!!!! You look great!!

I 5'2 and 3/4 :) My first goal weight was like 110.... But thats when i was starving myself. Now my goal weight is around 120! I am currenty between 125 - 130... I havent weighed in awhile :)

If a person eats low carb, then they should be eating very high in fat!

The people that lose weight that fast probably have a looooooot to lose, or they were eating soooo badly before, and then just started eating healthy.. 12 pounds is great!! Fast weight loss is not always the best! If you dont have to work very hard for it, its probably not that maintainable.

I havent had them in foreverrrr... But there are like 6 boxes in my home now! Also, ive seen this thin mint protein shake recipie.... and it sounds sooo gooood.

That would be super tough to eat healthy with 5 roomates, so i dont blame ya! But i suggest getting a gym membership... Lifting heavy was the best decision ive ever made! And you will see better and faster results than you would with just cardio.

15%! YES

I know whatcha mean!! About every week i hear about this new way to lose fat and then go all in researching it and trying to figure out what to do! Its frustrating, for sure. But so far, what i have found works great it this 1) Lift heavy!! (start with a program like the new rules of lifting ofr women or stronglifts 5x5)…

You dont NEED to eat breakfast... Its not going to make or break your weight loss! I used to eat breakfast allllll the time. I was obsessed with making sure i ate right when i woke up, because i didnt want to screw up my metabolism or something.. Now i do intermittent fasting with a (mostly) Paleo diet and i have lost a…

No, keep it at moderate... That pretty much means you workout 3-5 times a week... But the scale sucks, you have to start measuring! You have probably lost inches while the scale is staying the same.. Also, lift HEAVY!! Get a program like "The new rules of lifting for women" or stronglifts 5x5. You should look up the group…

I have tried it.. lasted about a day haahh. But I have depression/anxiety and a ketogenic diet somehow elses these conditions! It is also supposed to keep your energy more leveled throughout the day... And theres just a ton of stuff it does health wise.... I wish i could stick to it long enough to reap the benefits, but…

We all started from somewhere!! Before i tried to get healthier, i smoked cigs, drank beer, smoked weed and munched out, like a lot alotttttt.... I used to eat until it hurt.. and then id try to eat some more. I used to eat everything chocolate, sooo much fast food, no protein, and i just had terrible habits... Its taken…

bump... i just watched the whole thing..

Yes! She looks awesooomeeee.

Well to start out, you probably have just slowed your metabolism down by eating so few calories... But it doesnt look like your eating very much protein... so eat more protein!! Chicken, eggs, tuna, cottage cheese, greek yogurt.

I usually dont track preworkout...

Ohhh! And there are tons of workout videos on youtube!

Run outside, burpees, jumping jacks, anything that involves jumping, running in place, running up and down stairs, there are tooonnnnnsss of things you can go... But a gym is better :p Its way more fun and motivating.

YOU ARE FINE! Just drink a bunch of water, and if you ate high in sodium dont step on the scale for awhile. Maybe you arent eating enough calories or are depriving yourself... You should enjoy anything in moderation. And i think the only way you should worry about this situation if it happens every single day.... Just pick…
