MFP; it works! also^^^ that smile :smiley:

great skin

I've got only about 10lb left to lose, maybe less with strength training. It's taken me 3 years to lose 30lb, so I don't expect to lose this last 10 for another year. slow losers unite!

Yep. Starvation mode is a myth. Don't worry about it.

no, he looks like a man of refined taste.

friendly but surprisingly shy, for a performer

Unless that one little softgel of Biotin has 7,000 calories in it, then it's not causing you to gain weight.

I work out at 5am because I hate all people and this is the best way to avoid human contact. There's this ONE GUY, though he likes to break up his free weight routine by doing fast half reps at the highest weight setting on only 3 circuit machines. He can't lift the highest weights. he just sets it to the highest weight…

above advice is all great! Plus, corgis tend to be energetic dogs, meant to run and chase, so your pup will probably LOVE running with you! Also may take a little extra training than some because of that herding-dog-chase instinct. Some herding dogs are heel nippers. I trained my dog on the leash and to heel hoping he'd…

It's not unrealistic at all, is quite doable, but it's also pretty aggressive. You can do it --heck, I'm both lighter AND stronger at 31 than I was at 18-20 and I was in competitive sports back then-- but goals may change during body transformation. Life may sidetrack you at some point. You may find yourself at 140 looking…

this when you eat low calories, yes, you lose the weight, but then when you stop counting, your body seems to adjust psychologically into a "feast or famine" sort of mind set and you overeat, whether conscious or not. Your best bet, and i'm taking this from watching thousands of other people on MFP go through this…

Here in mid-missouri, our regional dishes are KC BBQ, St. Louis Style Pizza, pork steaks, Cashew Chicken, and toasted ravioli. I do adore toasted cheese ravioli dipped in spicy marinara and maybe even ranch dressing, when I need to keep mah sugahs up.

I regularly cut my calories low (1000-1200) to balance out weight gain from big-eating-events. Every time I do, I get a hundred hate messages about how I'm starving myself and I'M GOING TO DIE. so I lock my diary with a key whenever cutting, then open it back up when i'm back up to maintenance calories. I have friends on…

might as well just breathe life into this forum adding extra forums doesn't do anything but split up possible new members!

also do NOT take your Saint Bernard (5 years old) with you on any of your outdoor runs. Even if you just walk at too demanding a pace, he won't be into the experience, he will realize that he might be bigger than you, and he will randomly sit his *kitten* down just to see you ping to a stop at the end of his lead and land…

all i have to add is, the food processor is your friend when going on a raw diet. you can make all manner of sauces, dips, spreads, fillings out of raw ingredients with a food processor I did about 2 years as an all-local-foods raw vegan. I made an exception for tropical fruits, nuts, quinoa, and coffee. If it weren't for…

sadly, I really only care about looking better. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's my hatred of my appearance that motivates me out of bed and to the gym at 4:30am. "Health" doesn't motivate me nearly as much. Sure I might choose a salad over cheese fries because it's "healthier"....but sometimes the cheese fries sound…

I've never compared myself to others, and considering my poor self image, I'm thankful for that! However, I have friends whose only self-image is how they measure themselves up to others. It's got to be a difficult mindset for many reasons. If you're heavier--it's got to be frustrating to see someone smaller than yourself…

dougie: definitely that smile geloza: that progress! wow!

130 lb, <20% bodyfat

There's a Steak and Shake franchise in town that once refused to seat and serve me and my client who has an outwardly visible disability. When I called and complained, the manager denied it happened. When I emailed the corporate headquarters, they ignored me. When I called the corporate headquarters, they acted…

I'm 5'2" or 5'3" (depending on the current state of my scoliosis), 31, and have had two kids . In the last 3 years I've: lost 30lb gone from "skinny fat" to "sort of fit" began destroying a life time of self-hate and negative body image recovered and moved forward from an abusive situation . In the last 3 weeks I've:…

oooh, send me a request! i recently started strength training and upped my calories!
