  • Good luck to you also!! <3 <3 <3
  • It's hard to pick a favorite, but Allison just might be. Especially last season. Every scene she was in was hilarious. Even her walk makes me laugh. I <3 her.
  • Not that it really makes me "angry" but to add to yours, it's also quite annoying how many people don't understand the concept of zipper merging.
  • Repetitive noises and/or movements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia
  • Hmmm I'm not sure "ANY women on the planet" (I have to assume there are some out there who feels like physical appearance is there #1 above all else and wont budge on it.) However, what you said is true for most the women I've known in my life. Physical appearance isn't really #1. Most the gals I know didn't even marry…
  • I LOVE Moving Comfort! They are my favorite! I used to be a DD also (not anymore) but Moving Comfort has long been my favorite sports bra at any size!
  • Have you ever tried doubling up on the sports bras? **oops someone already suggested that :)
  • ....Or another example: Being condescending to people who don't think exactly like you and instead, just except the possibility there are other realities outside of your own. Maybe I missed something in this thread a while back, but why assume that all people who are effected by societal pressure aren't trying to be the…
  • I don't do it for guys either though. In fact, my guy likes me on the meatier than I prefer myself be. Honestly, it's really always been about me and what I think is beautiful and how I feel good about myself. Now that said, I haven't always had the healthiest or the most realistic of ideas of what "attractive" is for…
  • Right now it's pretty much just DA: Inquisition and I'm moving pretty slow on it too since it is so time consuming and I don't play unless I have at least 3-4 hours to devote. haha I guess I also restarted The Last of Us re-mastered edition, I never got a chance to play the DLC the first time around so I am going to play…
  • Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Oddly enough his attitude toward the writer of the article doesn't do much to support his case, actually quite the opposite. As yessimpson pointed out above, he's pretty much doing exactly what the article says by shaming the guy and attacking his masculinity for simply having a different view…
  • Good luck Kass!
  • Oh well, that makes sense then! I'm guessing with all that activity it's hard to get enough cals!
  • I think sometimes nutritionists do the "no eating after 8pm" thing as more of a "training the brain to shut off" tool rather than a weight loss tool. A lot of "night time eaters" are not making the healthiest of choices. It's also easier for some people to cave in and binge at these times. So yeah, it could be more…
  • Not helpful for you new goals but congrats, you look GREAT! Hard to believe you haven't done any lifting, you have some good definition already!
  • That's true for people trying to gain some real muscle mass. From what I'm gathering though, she doesn't really have much of a lifting routine at all so if she starts lifting now, she's likely going to see a change in body comp regardless. You gotta start somewhere though, so I say just start! Maybe once you reach your…
  • Are you meeting all your nutritional requirements? Is there anything you are severely lacking in daily? If so, that could be the reason for the extreme hunger and feeling faint. Hungry is normal, eating at a deficit means we remember what hungry feels like, but it shouldn't be extreme and you shouldn't be feeling faint.…

  • I'm sorta in the same boat as you. I workout but I feel like I'm just doing the same basic things over and over and I don't feel like I'm pushing myself enough and I often times question my form. Since I'm a little cramped for time in the next few months, I thought I'd give this workout routine a try since it's been…
  • For some eating too many carbs make them hungrier so it can make sticking to the plan harder, but like the lovely people who already commented said, if you stick to your cals it shouldn't effect your weight loss. Remember that guy who ate 1200 cals in Twinkies and lost weight? He didn't feel very great but he did loose…
  • I think yes and no. Are men susceptible to the same kind of body issues that women are? Yes. Most defiantly yes. Body issues, eating disorders, depression, shame...these are not gender exclusive issues. Do I think that the American society has an equal beauty standard for men and women. No, I don't. There are still a far…
  • I occasionally have days where I don't fret and do around maintenance instead of at a deficit. I don't really consider that "cheating" though. Honestly, I find that cheat days/maintenance days/no logging days (whatever you do) are really more of a personal thing. For some, it works really well and doesn't set them back.…
  • I can certainly relate to the need for being rigid. In my experience it seems that "relax" tends to be a long road that eventually ends up at somewhat out of control. It's dumb. I do hope there is more balanced future out there for us both, but for now, bravo for knowing yourself and doing what you need to do. *highfive*
  • This group seems relevant to my interests. *waves*
  • I feel that I typically get a better workout on stairs, treadmill and outside than I do on the elliptical. Due to my knee issues though, I can no longer do high impact things so I end up on an elliptical, or something similar, most of the time. I find that upping the difficulty and resistance will kick the elliptical…
  • YAY Taso! I am so glad you decided to finally post a success story! You were one of the first people I met through MFP (at the time I met you I believe you were in your “skinny phase” and had a lot more patience for the MFP forums haha.) Obviously you did this for yourself and that is the way it should be, but being able…
