cupcakes, just 1 instead of a dozen

I started at BMI of 42... I am currently 23.7... I would like to get down to 22 BMI and 22% BF

glycogen.... dehydration... water retention DRINK AN EFFTON OF WATER & continue all else.....

I have lost 120 pounds in the last year and I drink 1 glass of wine EVERY Friday because, well I just need to unwind after a long crazy work week.... I sometimes also have a cocktail on Saturday as well.... I have chips too... and then I get my *kitten* on the treadmill or lift weights or do something to move and chalk it…

WAYYY TO GOOO!!! just a word of advice, I wouldnt add 300 Kcal per day immediately... Id go conservatice and do 100-150 every week to make sure it aligns with your current TDEE

I am a Clearance Rack & Goodwill/Thrift store QUEEN.... about every 8-10 weeks, Id take old, too big clothes to Goodwill...collect my receipt for tax purposes, then go inside & find GAP and American Eagle jeans for $6 or less...Ross Stores had work appropriate summer dresses for less than $15... From April til August I…

when I got to the top of the "normal" BMI" ( about 25 BMI) I switched from actively in weightloss mode... I still had 15-ish pounds to lose but my focus became strength.. in that process weightloss is slower...I will stop losing once I hit 22 BMI which is smack dab in the middle of normal

In my experience, Plus size clothes are more forgiving.... when you get down to smaller sizes, 5 pounds can make a HUGE difference in dress size, not so much in the biigger sizes when I had a HUGE amount of weight to lose, it was over 40 pounds before I saw a change in dress size... then dress sized changed with about…

exercise at work.... 15 minute break= 15 minutes of Running sprints up & down the stairs.... 30 min lunch= walk/jog/wog 2 miles bring 20 pound hand weights in.... do arm curls between phone calls/customers/when you can

While I agree with the article, I'd sooner never count another calorie....

Potassium= coconut water

I love the fit of Jones Ney York suits... The Loft ( Ann Taylor) "Marisa" cut for work pants.... I dont have a dress code for my office so I only wear a suit once a week and dress casual 2 days, jeans the other 2 days...

you can buy them online but I cant find them in the store anymore either http://shop.crystallight.com/Pure/pure,default,sc.html?cm_mmc=Google-_-Int_eCom_Varieties-_-Pure%20Broad-_-pure%20crystal%20light

when i lose these last 15 pounds, I get a new mink coat prior mini-goals= spa day and outfits

I did not suggest it...the OP did.... I simply agreed with her so we could move on from the likes of you trying to send her to a shrink instead of answering her eff'nquestion... what if she said her TOES were gross?? would you advise her on her bad body image then?? give it up Dr Nbody...she doesnt HAVE to be suffering…

UGHHHHHh Im sick of folks trying to play ameteur psychologists...... if the OP feels her tummy is gross, then its GROSS to her.... you do not have to agree with her but because you do not agree does it mean she has low self esteem or body image issues.... OP: its GROSS!! yes it is... Mine is Gross too....and you are right,…

my caloric intake increased so i dont have to exercise less

add me to the must read when I have some downtime list

heybales worksheet estimates my maintenance goals at 1600.... im 67 inches, 155-ish pounds

by doubling your lifting, you've negated any "maintenance" that cutting your calories would've done... in other words, lifting is probably burning more calories than the cardio was.... so you effectively are not eating at maintenance.... Im with you though, I cant seem to eat enough..... I have found that grazing on some…

ummm NO, then you are comparing VOLUME not comparing WEIGHT a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of lard.... though the feathers may take up more space yet when compacted the volume is less.... in any case, the weight gain could be due to the infamous water retention, glycogen stores and such....

ran into an old nemesis recently on a trip back "home"... said person is related to my BFF....told my BFF that I must have cancer or something because I look horrible....(She wears no less than a size 24) my cousin who is a self-proclaimed medical expert has been telling my family that I am committing slow suicide and am…

startwith a big smile..... will help you physically & mentally enjoy the fruits of your labor you look good..... smile!

its the same gimmick thats been used for years... remember those aluminum foil looking suits?? same concept... now the wraps DO serve a purpose.... for example, I know someone who is in the military who is in GREAT shape but because he lifts weights, he doesnt meet the dumb size/weight/inches requirements.... the body wrap…

I have the FT80... you can wear it in the pool but do not press the buttons while submerged... just wear it...if you need to change, get out of the water to do it

lmaoooOoOOOo

get the stick.... get moisture wicking socks ( and dry feet completely after workout) ... make sure your walking shoes are well-fitting ( not too big or too small)
