My brothers and sisters are all cousins and I am an only child. :huh: My dad had two kids and divorced. My mom had two kids and divorced. My Dad's ex-wife is my Mom's ex-husband's aunt. So my mom's kids are my dad's ex-husband's niece and nephew and my Dad's kids are cousins of my Mom's ex-husband. My brothers and sisters…

All electric apartment and they actually cleaned the ducts a month ago. And ^^^lol

I've been brave enough to net around 2600 calories for about 2 months and have not gained. I have been learning to maintain my size since July and had some accidental losses while getting my intake right. It all makes sense now why I lost the weight so fast, I must have been eating at a much larger deficit than was…

What time of day do you work out? Do you have a snack before you go? What meals have you had earlier in the day?

No, it looks to me like she prefers the look of a "softer" woman at a healthy body weight with NO muscle tone. Right?

I lifted weights while I was losing. I started tracking calories on January 30th this year and the first time I tried weightlifting was February 22nd, although I didn't take it as seriously for the first couple months. I still left my exercise cardio heavy until I dropped more weight. I did lose the last 20-25 pounds with…

Well this is certainly not true for everyone. I got to a point where I didn't care if I reached my initial weight loss goal, at around 45 pounds lost. I actually lost my last 4 pounds in 4 weeks while experimenting with "maintenance" calories of net 2100 per day. There is no reason to deprive yourself. Food is fuel.

To me, heavy lifting is the most I can handle. If I have a difficult time reaching between 8 and 10 reps in a set, I am lifting heavy relative to my own personal ability. If I am doing bench press and I work my way up to my one rep max and finish even more sets at a bit lower weight, I am lifting heavy. So if I am using a…

I LOVE this, you look absolutely amazing. Think of all the girls who think weighing LESS than 105 is the only way to get your body. You need to shout it from the rooftops. You look incredible! :) :) :)

I used to complain all the time that I didn't feel good and that I was fat and didn't like the way I looked. My husband would point out that I ate like crap. The only time he ever said anything was when I would complain. It was not hard to adjust to eating healthier simply because we will prepare meals for each other but…

anywhere from 6 to 11 dude ones. But I will improve! :)

I don't see too many problems with your intake, it is obvious you are trying to do well and taking this seriously. The crab dip the other day is questionable. Before I joined I was in a year long rut of fast food 5 or more times per week. Things that helped: Pack your lunch. Or at a minimum bring snacks. Say you are going…

You are hungrier because you are working out and not eating enough. You are supposed to "net" your goal. The site is designed with the intention of eating back the exercise. This way, you net your original calorie goal, which will lead to weight loss, yet you haven't had to deprive yourself because you were able to earn…

Obviously fried foods are not as healthy. If you open up your diary so people can see you could get more help because people could take a real look at what you are eating. It's normal to drop weight fast in the beginning because you were overeating before. A lot of it is water retention.

The one where the lady sings jingle bells really fast and it sounds like she is on crack

Yeah for sure! If your goal is 1500 and you burn 300 you should eat 1800

Doesn't seem good.

5'6" 135 lbs 2600 calories+!!! U will be fine!

don't be surprised if you continue to lose weight. I had to increase mine 3 times before I got it right

48

You could google about vitamin over-consumption but I think you just pee out the extra vitamins. And the fiber...errr...well that comes out too. It's a great way to keep things moving along if you remember to drink plenty of water.

No way, I don't even think it looks very bad, I think you will notice huge changes if you work on it and stick to it. Imagine if you had 133 pounds to lose, look how much longer it would take...

oroweat oatnut is pretty good and it lasts a long time for me

My Dad (RIP) missed out on a really fun dinner one Christmas Eve because my Mom refused to make his plate for him. Maybe a bad time to take a stand? Maybe good? I don't go to many family functions now but if I visit my Mom's, I can expect to see my step-dad's ex wife at the table.

My little 12 year old neighbor ordered the rooty tooty fresh and fruity (something like that) at ihop once and I thought it was so cute

5'6" sw 190 Gw135 Cw135 Age 32 I eat 2600+ daily. Lost weight eating a wide range from 1420 to 2100 net

Mine used to weigh 4 pounds. I know this because after I lost my last 4 pounds they are no longer there.

I think the number you mention is great for weight loss and very low for maintenance

The exact thing happened to me. I switched it up and got sore again! For some reason I don't feel as if I got a good workout in if there is absolutely no soreness.
