Halestorm! She got me through many a PR.

I wanted to comment on your second question. I've not read the thread so sorry if this is covered, but if you are able to spend the extra dollars on a bra that fits, I would do it as you keep losing weight. You deserve to feel comfortable and supported at any size, not just your goal size.

This is a great thread. I've lost 50lb twice in my life and now have to do it again. First was after college, where I gained the freshman 50 (not 15 :wink: ) and lost it and hit my highest fitness level in my life. Then I got married (+10lb) and then pregnant, where my weight shot up 75lb. Lost 50 of that, then surprise!…

I'm 14 weeks currently and have set MFP to maintain. I started out a bit overweight after losing 53lb from my first pregnancy. I have successfully maintained my weight so far. My dr was ok wth me maintaining until 3rd tri, but I'd also suggest asking your OB about a good number for you. For what it's worth, I am not…

It's a waste of money. Too bad because I love green tea. The only "fat burner" is a calorie deficit, however you achieve that.

I agree with previous posters but also I noticed that MFP did not update my daily calorie limit until I used my profile settings to run some numbers for a friend, and when I put my stats back it took away calories due to my lower weight. I didn't change my personal numbers. Perhaps look at that as well as following others'…

I also agree with those who said to buy clothes to make yourself feel good. I like going to consignment shops, you can get barely worn clothes for dirt cheap. I don't replace my whole wardrobe, though, just a few pieces to get me by. Nothing makes me feel bigger than clothes that don't fit correctly!

This x eleventybillion.

I did. As long as you find one that gives you enough time to lose weight in a healthy manner they can be fun. Everybody comments on the game's page and encourages each other, posts their workouts, recipes, etc. The one I participated in was through another forum I belong to and that one was not worth it. I didn't read the…

I thought that rule of thumb was per kilogram, not pound of body weight. That cuts those numbers about in half.

Someone already has...it's in the Hunger Games trilogy ;) the Capitol residents use a pill to vomit to eat more while the districts starve

I hate when people give out inaccurate advice and make a bunch of assumptions for the sole purpose of ranting. It infuriates me that you judge the OP's training schedule and eating habits and throw inaccurate advice into the mix. You can lose weight by only creating a calorie deficit, not eating clean, and not exercising.…

Ohhh noooo, men long to cuddle and protect and cherish the women they LOVE. It has nothing to do with how big they are, or else DH would have decided I was too fat to love and left me already. He has not. The more I read, the more I really think you should seek a therapist. Do you truly believe one's relationship with a…

First of all, *kitten* your family's "advice" right in the ear. If that's you in your pic, you're gorgeous. I would also find someone to talk to professionally, they have a really great way of helping you see outside of your own point of view. I'm also never going to be a petite woman, I'm not as tall as you but I am built…

I fail to see how my personality or the wording of the OP has anything to do with the condescending and insulting tone of your post. Whatever, agree to disagree.

My shovel and I will join you.

My sweet tooth will be my demise I swear. I try to make room for something sweet in my daily allotment, whether it be chocolate, fruit or ice cream

Great loss! I also like the mini goal approach others mentioned, every 10lbs or however you decide to go, reevaluate and see what you want to do.

Hm. I am feeling some type of way about food weighers being compared to people who use shovels to move dirt (implication: ineffective and labor intensive, not worth it) versus people who use tractors (implication: effective and not very labor intensive, worth it) despite all the testimonials of people who count their…

Well OP, you began a thread essentially telling people who weigh their food that they are overdoing it and you wonder why people are getting defensive? I still have 50-75 pounds to lose. I've been weighing my food since the beginning. I do it because I rest easy in knowin my exact CI so if I am inaccurate with my CO, I…

^^this^^ OP, it's only been a week. Commit to at least 6 weeks of a calorie deficit and see where that brings you. Also, as pp have stated, one bad day can knock out your deficit for the week. How are you tracking your food? Are you using a food scale?

Because they call them "chips" so therefore you will get fat because everyoe knows potato chips are a snack food so chocolate chips, being in the same chip family, will make you fat.

Which are you more comfortable with? That's the answer.

I - er, my friend - has trouble pooping eating more than 2 bananas a day. That's the only problem I - I meant she - can see with it.

OP you've been given a lot of great advice. I sit in the "he should tell you by X time" camp. It's just plain rude to expect someone to drop everything and go out at a moment's notice, especially when they have requested a little advance notice. It's not like you're telling him you'll never eat out with him again. It's…

Let's not start by saying added sugar in peanut butter is terrible. Are you trying to start another sugar debate...seriously?? Why will peanut products cause you to be more sore and swell more after workouts? IME the only thing that does that is adding weights. Ate peanut butter almost every day while I was bulking. No…

Me too. I seem to retain at least 2lb of water, sometimes 5, when I change my routine or add weight.

I feel like I could fit 4x the serving size of peanut butter in a tablespoon, that business is lumped so high on there lol

Haha I hear ya. I have a few new pieces that were on sale-I refuse to buy any clothes full price regardless of my size. But I think some clothes that fit well are in order for nice occasions! I hit up thrift shops ("new to me") and you can get pieces for like $4...just have to get in before it gets bought! The great thing…

Wut.
