When I look at my week view, normally my days are higher one day...then lower and mon-thurs tend to be lower than goal, then fri-sun are just above goal. I have lost consistently like this and believe most has been fat loss. I have never gone over or at maintenance but if I did I think I would adjust over a few days and…

I got my first paraguard 8 weeks after my second daughter was born (2003), without trying all the baby weight disappeared by 6 months postpartum. I may have been lucky but I have now had my second one for over a year and since getting serious about losing the extra weight I have had no issue with anything stopping me. The…

I have read it is hereditary also, so the amount that can visibly be ridden is Dependant on genetics. Lotions with vitamin E can help the skin stay moisturized and maintain elasticity, this is key for appearance of the skin. Body composition wise, lifting and bf% reduction will give the best results. I personally have seen…

I do it too, especially when I see the pattern that tells me a new low is coming (ex: night weight the same as the current low, I know I will have a new low in the morning). For me it helped me see the patterns from working out, macros/micros and general intake. For my final few lbs. I do not think it will be an issue…

First congrats on the loss you have had! Most people's weight fluctuates, mine has about a 4lb range. You are also right at goal so losing the last couple lbs would be at a rate of .5lb per week or less. Lifting weights will not stall fat loss, but a new routine or more sodium can cause water weight to hide small losses on…

I like that you can see the difference from pre-workout to after. You normally don't see pics from the same day like this. I love the lines/cuts that form from lifting, great bicep! Your back is amazing :love:

When I am stressed I can't eat. It's not healthy but some binge I starve. Normally after a day I can make a point to sit down with a small meal (salad with meat) and pick at that. The calories may be low, but as long as you make an effort... You will eat when you feel up to it. For me it is normally with one of my easy but…

OK you definitely earned bragging rights for that tricep! Eta. I love the shoes!

Not sure, I don't drink enough to have even considered it. I should ask my FL many of them I am sure have an opinion on this.

TDEE is averaged for the week. If you work out 3 times a week, every week then you put that. If you take a week off eat at sedentary. To lose weight with the TDEE method, you eat under TDEE. Eating at TDEE would be maintenance. Most do TDEE - % (20%,15,% ect)= goal. With TDEE you do not eat exercise calories back, to log…

Amazing results, your profile pic looks like a mother daughter shot. :heart:

Unfortunately for myself, I am solely responsible. No one in my family is overweight except my MIL (not anymore) and she has never influenced me. If I was to put partial rresponsibility elsewhere, it would be life and being a mom....I just stopped taking care of myself.

If it fits my calories/macros I eat/drink it. My wine even had protein in it...blew my mind :laugh:

You don't necessarily have to lose those 70 calories. My plan is that my rate of loss will decrease as I get closer to goal. Technically rate of loss should decrease anyways to keep a healthy rate. I have even heard of people eating at goal TDEE, this way the deficient gradually reduces until they are at maintenance.…

I am so glad I posted this thread and very proud that many of the posters are on my FL.... Like the awesome woman with the guns that I quoted :flowerforyou:

^^^^This Eating to low causes a multitude of issues and can cause binging.....it is not sustainable. You also asked about eating more then working out. The way MFP is set up, you are suppose to eat your exercise calories back....goal is net. So if you had a goal of 1450 calories (my BMR at 154lbs and 5'4") and you walked…

OK so how wrong is it that I just keep staring at these pics? Sarah was one of the first people I requested because her journey was a major inspiration, I also am proud to admit I manage not to creep her profile.....but these dang pictures...now I keep creeping my own thread :noway: I love all the pics and responses, I am…

An aggressive rate of loss is 2lbs per week and this is only really feasible if you have a lot to lose. 2 stone (28lbs) is not very feasible in 2 months. Spot reducing fat unfortunately is also not possible. No matter what though, if you start today...you will be a lot happier when your trip does happen. Here is some info…

Now I have to go stalk someone :noway:

Aaron, you must have some practice pics of the "over that way" pose.....come on post, we finally got to see your face :wink:

You need a phone post '07 :flowerforyou: Actually I have no clue, I thought I could multitask but I am just not that good :drinker:

^^^^^This I have to admit also :love: :blushing: They could but it would be extremely difficult and require hormones most likely. It is extremely hard for men to bulk, for women (we lack a significant percentage of the testosterone men have) it is never an accident. On MFP we hear women all the time stating they won't lift…

Thanks to usmc, and my noob question on my wall today.....I just found out I can get my front delts to pop and what it was that was popping out :blushing: It is my newest NSV and made me very happy at the gym last night and gave a new enjoyment to bent over barbell rows :drinker:

Lmao, tricep is where my stubborn fat is refusing to leave. I work them and can feel them, but have no clue how to see them or if they would be visible anyways :grumble:

So far (half way to goal), I lost in this order.....Face, Belly (last place I gained, so got lucky), shoulders, lower thighs, upper arms.......Now I just need to lose the remainder of my lower belly, upper arms, upper thighs, butt and all the other places the fat is hiding. ETA: forgot boobs.... they went about 3rd, I lost…

Vans Warp Tour last Thurs..... Took my daughter and her friends.

^^^^This and if you drop them they may not count as clean eating.....then you may get toxins and need to cleanse. Why have you only ate 1000 calories today? and have you read any stickied threads? Here try this link... ======================================================================================================…

Even saying your "not good at this"..... You have to see, these do sound like lines. I am married and talk to a few regulars often and have no problem speaking to any guy at the gym. They are people, it doesn't have to be all thought out. Don't interrupt them and just speak up if you need something or have a…

I am not saying breakup.....but you need to set the boundary on this asap. An appropriate response would be...." I am sorry you have trust issues, I have done nothing to warrant the lack of trust you seem to have in me. It makes me feel (****fill in the blank****), I do not want to feel this way." You can also try the…
