Honey...until your butt gets Kim Kardashian size, it's not big. And honestly, even if it was big, that's awesome! People pay to have a nice shapely rump. Annnnnnd, in some cultures NOT having a big butt is frowned on.

Everything about this post is awesome.

I plan and log everything in advance. It becomes a blueprint for my day. If I don't log it in advance, I fall off the wagon.

When I see people doing this it takes all of my STRENGTH not to stop them. They're exerting so much effort doing the wrong thing.

So I whooshed today...finally! But unlike the last time--when I was clueless about all of this--I have been keeping weight data everyday. There seems to be a pattern between a slight increase followed by a large loss (3lbs). I'm going to keep collecting data for a while to ensure this is not a coincidence.

I had my first whoosh the other day. Marbly fat led to a lot of urination. By the next day I went down three lbs. It was so shocking I thought it was fake. I stayed at that weight for several days. Then my TOM came. I picked up the usual 3 lbs. It's been several days since the end of TOM and I'm still up 3lbs. It's like my…

I've just started doing really intense workouts...about 800-1200 calorie burn 4x's a week. I do the workout at night, come home eat a snack (sometimes) and go straight to bed. This way I don't eat all the calories back. The weight is coming off well, but I've only been at it 4 weeks. I'm not sure what the long term result…

Why are guys this way? It's weird. I'm down 7lbs from the beginning of the year. My husband hasn't said anything.However, when I was up 8 lbs. he said, you look really skinny. I just said thanks instead of letting him know I was actually not skinnier. How do they not notice this stuff?

BUMP!

Muscle Milk, made with milk--not water.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump! Awesome!

This was the best. I was actually imagining this all happening. Like an episode of The Magic School Bus

You might want to get a knee pillow, and a sweater. You'll get colder easier too.

Zumba can create a really good calorie burn. If I'm really working it hard I can burn about 800 calories in 50 minutes--according to my HRM. I stop and record my pulse between each song (every 3-5 minutes). Before or following my Zumba class I try to do at least 45 minutes of additional cardio. This can get me a daily burn…

Thanks for creating this forum. I was shocked to see that discussion threads in the main forum (speaking specifically to African-American success) had been shut down because they were "divisive". Lord have mercy....:noway: . It's good to have a safe place to discuss and share.

I'm 6 months in to my long-term transition (1.5 years). I've been rocking a bun faithfully. It lasts through workouts and it's the easiest way to manage two diferent textures of hair. I have fairly long hair (armpit length) so this transition is no joke.

I needed this. Thanks.

I just had yummy meatballs with marinara (tomato) sauce and mozzarella melted on top. You do get a few extra carbs, depending on what sauce you use, but it's a tasty high protein treat.

This is the most thought provoking thread I have seen on MFP all year. I appreciate you starting the dialogue. Your self-declaration of awesome frees others to do the same. One poet (Marianne Williamson) said it this way. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond…

I understand. But take pride in the fact that even though it's smaller your butt still looks great!

The 37.5 makies me feel the same way. I'm on the 15mg. My doctor told me to take it twice a day, but I only need one. This medicine is very strong. A little bit goes a long way.

good job. keep it up.

I'm all about this. However, I want to be down 10 lbs, by May 30th, my 30th Birthday.

This is a good topic. Thanks!

this thread is cracking me up.

I"m 5'3", I have a very small body and frame. Most people think I'm 120, but I topped out at 150....that's about 20lbs over where I really need to be. MY BMI made me overweight, so yes--it is possible.

Your weight loss looks really good. How fast is it coming off. I'm in week 2, so far I've lost 6lbs. I feel soooo good about it, despite the fact I know much of it is water. How much have you lost since you started on Valentine's Day?

go to Jamaica and wear this super cute, super small, pink bikini I bought!

That's awesome! How long have you been at it? One week for me. So far, I'm down 3lbs. I know most of that is water, but I"m wondering when do I kick in to the true fat burn. My carb count is between 20g-60g a day. How long have you been at it? And how many carbs are you eating a day?
