There isn't such a thing as "too fat for shorts". The problem comes when a size 14 tries to squeeze into a size 4. Dress your size and wear what you are comfortable in!

Dryer lint. :)

Oh Pistachios, how I love thee....

I completely understand how stress can lead to binge eating-- I'm in the same boat! Something that has really helped me (and has been mentioned at least once already) is prepping all of my food before I start working. The night before I'll set up my snacks and lunch; I just need to grab some breakfast before I get started…

Well, this escalated quickly. If you're counting how much water you drink-- ie. using MFP to make sure you're getting 8 glasses of water then no. If its a suspension (tea, coffee) or chemically altered (sodas, flavored waters) it will hydrate you which is dandy but nothing beats a big glass of H2O after a good workout…

I think a sculpted woman can be very sexy if she does it naturally. I've seen a few women go for hormone therapy (because they couldn't get any more muscle) and they looked a little scary. But if you can naturally build a lot of muscle I think it can be rocked by a woman :)

Nope. Can't say I date ladies :)

1. 5' 8" 160(ish) 2. I used to but then did a "sugar cleanse". Essentially I just cut out the crap: chips, white breads, sodas, etc. After about 3 days to a week I stopped being so hungry. I drink a lot of water, eat a lot of vegetables and have protein with EVERY meal, including snacks. So I'm eating about every 3ish…

You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story.

Cool; what refs and what journal is it published in? I'd love to read up on it in my down time :)

LOVE THIS lol

Unfortunately, you'd have to drink more than a normal human can consume.

This kind of breaks my heart and I find it sad that only a handful of people responded with YOU ARE NOT UGLY. Having body image issues is a serious problem and losing weight or getting a makeover won't fix the underlying unhappiness. I tried losing weight to make me happy because I thought I was ugly. Then I realized that…

I'm 5' 8'' and started at 171 (ish). I'm 160 now and am shooting for 155 or 150. :)

Amen sister! :)

Pretty sure it is the truth. I can't quote the science behind it, but when I cut out unhealthy carbs and fats... cookies, chips, all the delicious goodies that make us fat... I don't crave them anymore.

Cheese is GREAT in moderation. So don't eat an entire block a day ;) Its the proteins and fats in the cheese that are filling you up. If you add protein to every meal AND every snack you should feel fuller. So a serving of cheese, sunflower seeds are good, hummus is a great way to spice up your veggies, greek yogurt is…

As a scientist I can vouch for his claim here. However, I'm wondering where you can get the same nutrition elsewhere? I think you mentioned earlier that it can be found in other sources. So I'm curious as to what sources you use instead of whole grains.

From my experience it is important to just read the label. Make sure that the first ingredient is Whole Wheat, nothing enriched. I eat the Sarah Lee 100% Whole Wheat and it is delicious but I've also like Natures Own. A lot of my friends eat Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread. I know nothing about it other than they swear by its…

Lies.
