as i get closer to goal weight, i have less wiggle room for calories. my cheat days are usually within my calorie allotments. i just eat crap instead of lean meats and veggies.

they are fantastic. i have a thick slice every morning with my eggs, also love to smear some on sandwiches with turkey/cucumer/tomato. omnomsnoms.

lol thanks for this

i get my meats on butcher's sales, when they're set to expire same day or next day. then i eat it that night. makes organic meats closer priced to regular.

you look like a teenager! getting ready for high school! you look GREAT don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

nuvaring. i love it.

sounds delicious! why get locked into culturally dictated eating patterns?

I'm 5'7, but i started at 206. this was in feb 2012. i was down to 155 by november 2012. i did a running program 3x a week, walked my dog, counted calories per MFP suggestions, and gave myself monthly rewards for hitting targets. the rewards were essential to my progress. i would have eaten a lot more cookies if i didn't…

when i'm tired, exhausted, and have nothing left to give. smarter people would leave earlier than that, but that is my experience. i leave when the fights don't even upset me anymore, because they're normal, because the frustration, doubt, broken trust, is all normal.

yup! make ONE SERVING though!! i used to make half batches thinking "oh i can hold onto these for a few days" nope. ate 'em all. there are recipes online for 1 cookie, 1 slice of coffee cake, etc. maybe you're better than me but i have no self control when brownies or cakes are staring at me, beckoning!

lol you just ate it? i used it for cooking chicken when making thai food, or my eggs, or veggies. i also moisturize my face with it sometimes!

oo peanut butter is a good idea. i usually go for blueberries, some milk and some maple syrup or honey if i want extra sweetness.

stronglifts 5x5. i'm a 23 year old female, started last december. 3x a week. just a few minutes ago i was admiring my cut physique! oblique ab lines, tight waist, some guns, and clear muscles when I flex my legs. i love lifting.

I never had true weight loss failures before, because I never tried. Whining about my fatness, taking diet pills, and doing weird exercises from magazines for two days were never true attempts. The week of my 22nd birthday, I decided to take my life back. There was no option for failing, because I'm the kind of person when…

i wouldn't for jeans, but i have for a dress, or gaming equipment. if it makes you happy, and you can afford it, do it!!

yuck gross canned tuna! get yourself some fresh stuff, much better. also be open to changing your taste buds. for example i didn't use to like vegetables, but i kept eating them because they're good for me, and now I LOOOVE bell peppers, spinach, carrots, etc. What you like or don't like isn't set in stone =)

cardio, but "circuit training" is the official category for most of JM's DVDs. it is not really strength training unless you're using 5lb or 10lb weights (even then, you'll grow stronger and outgrow them in a week or two)

you are thin to begin with. granted i don't know your height, but your measurements are pretty good and indicate some measure of fitness. this means you won't get such a bang for your buck. you get out what you put in, did you keep up the whole time, sweating bullets? my yoga would be covered in sweat when i was finished.

same as OP. more attention from guys, i'm checked out frequently. also people at work are more comfortably giving me heavy lifting jobs or more physical jobs.

i squat 135lbs. my cellulite is almost gone, when i lose more fat i think it will be 100% gone.

batman beyond : return of the joker. my best friend and i would play for hours and hours, adding in our own commentary and laughing our *kitten* off. oh and tomb raider 2! a favorite to play during sleepovers. once i screamed so loud when wolves jumped out at me i woke up my friends parents. good times! FFX was my first…

i can hear them now "peep! peep! peep peep!" so cute!

dubstep (skrillex) and speed metal (dragonforce).

i friended people who i admired in the beginning of my weight loss. those "20lbs lost before and after!" people, or people who made me laugh or we had common loves discovered during a food thread, or TV show thread. then i discovered groups, the smaller forums on here. i'm a part of the gamer group, nerd group, political…

i rarely log my tea, i don't add anything to it. i do log my weekend coffees, with half a packet of sugar and a splash of organic 2% milk.

eva, i just wanted to say i think you are BEAUTIFUL, i've seen you around before and creepily checked out your photos and thought "i hate being a generic white girl!". please know people look at you and go hot damn, she is gorgeous! cause that's what i did. that is all!

i think organic tastes better. i buy organic milk because my skin flares up when i drink regular because of the hormones. i also buy organic cheese for the same reason (but hard cheeses, like parmesan, are fine buying regular).

i was only having them on workout days...then that progressed to having one every day haha! i just love them!

perhaps, but not after you factor in the costco membership price!!

holy wow. that is terrifying.
