  • I agree. I have always been teased about my weight and appearance, I was quite aware of it and suffered the social consequences. But it wasn't until something inside me finally 'clicked' that I started eating responsibly, making healthier choices and exercising. I have tried to lose weight since I was 16 years old, but it…
  • The extra fat on my legs, bum and hips (specially the bum) is the last thing I'm shedding. Seriously, I'm almost there,and two months ago my legs were as large as any guy's legs. These last two months they have shrunk a lot! I don't think I'll ever have tiny oin legs but they're definitely looking a lot better. It's also…
  • Your pic made me smile! I wasn't expecting a picture of such a fun activity! Awesome! One of the nicest NSV i've seen around here :D keep enjoying life!
  • That's fabulous!!! Well done! :)
  • I feel great apart from my hairloss my memory problems and brain fogginess... But it's starting to get cold here, and I feel like I'm living in Alaska instead of in sunny Spain. It's the first year I get this symptom so consistently. I'm getting an electric blanket as well, and I always carry some hot tea with me when I…
  • I agree, weight training is key. Also, you might need to only eat low GI carbs. I'm on your same boat, I learned to LOVE sports and I get the same 'you're exercising too much'. So maybe you DO need to eat more calories. It might not show on your scale progress but your body will be more happy since it will be more…
  • I have subclinical hypo, and I had symptoms for four years before anyone gave me a decent diagnosis and medication. The fact that I was almost morbidly obese made the doctors think THAT was the cause of all my symptoms. Fortuntely they sorted things out and now I'm on levothyroxine. I lost almost all of my extra weight,…
  • The battle scene almost gave me a heart attack XD and I'm not a huge die-hard fan at all, i just enjoyed the story, the movies and the books and I'm way past my teenage years. When we went to the theatre to watch it i only bought a diet coke, decided not to snack because of the dieting and stuff, but as soon as the battle…
  • I raise my hand here! I stopped snoring though i have never snored too loud
  • I wish you the best as well, don't ever feel afraid to seek help from those around you! Live the life your sister didn't have the chance to live, do what you want and go after your dreams and goals! Life is too short to waste it. Don't punish yourself, we all make mistakes in life. Just learn from them and from others'…
  • I'd like to lose 6.17 pounds (2.5 kilo), but it's quite ambitious since i don't seem to lose more than a kilo per month (two pounds) I'm 32 yrs old and I'm from Seville, Spain. My favorite color is light violet, or any color in that range, don't know exactly why! my favorite seasons are both fall and winter, where I live…
  • This is my schedule! Mondays: body combat class (50 minutes) and weight training Tuesdays: body combat class Wednesday: body combat class and body pump (weight training class, 50 minutes) Thursday: aerodance class (50 minutes) Friday: body balance class (yoga, tai chi and pilates mix class) and weight training (might…
  • If I reach my goal I plan on going out to dinner to an italian restaurant i've been wanting to go to for a couple of months. And i'll start saving for my new and very much needed spring and summer wardrobe! I need all sorts of clothes!!!
  • CW: 138.95 (62,5 kilo) NYE: 132.27(60 kilo) That's the last leg of my weightloss journey :) I know it's quite impossible to reach it by NYE, since my weightloss has slowed down dramatically in the last few months. But, i'm starting a different weight training program today, so we'll see how it goes. For me, it's a big deal…
  • In that case i go as far away from people as i can! It's really rude to fart right in other people's faces here. But of course, it's a cultural thing.
  • That wasn't a know it all,that was some kind of seller trying to win some money for some weird unhealthy product.
  • Looks delicious,fast and easy! I usually do this with pita bread. I bet you can find a nice lowfat and wholegrain pizza dough recipe you can make and put in the freezer. I'd share some with you but i live in s foreign country and we use different ingredients :)
  • I had a good laugh while reading many of the differences! English is my second language, and I have never ever lived in any English speaking country. But I lived my whole life in South America, and I'm more familiar with American English slang and vocabulary. I've learnt many British words though and I mix them all up all…
  • Really, when i feel it's about to happen i just go to the restroom to let it out! Nobody needs to smell that XD It's not socially accepted where I live. Though it's widely understood that any accident can happen while a person is exercising.
  • I use a peanut butter brand that doesn't have hydrogenated oils in it. You can also make homemade peanut butter (or even almond butter yummy!!!!!). It can't get any better or healthier than a homemade version. Peanut butter in oatmeal?!? I have that almost everyday!!!! I add a teaspoon of PB, and some strawberries,…
  • You can eat skittles or m&m every once in a while! You don't need to feel absolutely deprived. That said, i do have banana umm yummy! I also make myself wholegrain pancakes with homemade syrup or jam, i also like pinapple or mango milkshakes (with soy or almond milk). I usually make my breakfasts sweet, a sweet oatmeal so…
  • I guess it will depend on how excessive is 'excessive'. You might still have some fat stored in that extra skin, maybe when you lose it the skin will start to tighten up? I've heard it takes up to two years for it to reach its final stage of "tightness", i don't know if this is true or not. I have some loose skin as well,…
  • I had the same NSV today!!! yay for us!!! I have never ever ran in my entire life! I was going to use the couch to 5k app but i was too lazy to get the ipod off the armband to open it and enter the correct settings so i decided to run until i couldn't run anymore. I had to stop for four traffic lights but other than…
  • I agree with the above posters! I didn't realise you weren't using the equations right. :)
  • You won't put any weight back on,don't worry! Eat more protein, you can for example, have salmon. It has more calories than other kinds of fish and good fats that won't make you fatter. You should never eat less than your BMR. I understand where you are though,because i find it hard to eat over 1500 calories without adding…
  • It's awesome! Congratulations!!! Feeling healthy is what makes you keep going,your body WANTS healthy food and daily exercise :)
  • I ate 100% lean poultry, no red meat except on cheat days, low fat fish (the last few months i've been eating salmon, but it's full of good fats). Low or 0%fat cheese, skim milk (or soy milk). Lots and lots of veggies. I've always been hooked on coke or any sugary drink so i replaced it with diet coke (yes i know,i should…
  • I was diagnosed on june last year,and have been taking levothyroxine since then. My weightloss started right when i started taking it (along with dieting and exercising). If you take our medicine following the instructions to the letter your metabolism should be equal to that of a normal person. In some rare cases you…
  • That happens to me on some cheat days. The scale numbers go up like that (even up to 2.5 pounds!) for a few days and they eventually come down. The worse episode i had it in the last two weeks(i retained the weight for those two weeks, imagine my panic!) but it seems that it was also related to my monthly cycle. And now…
  • That employee sure didn't know a thing about body shapes!!! I see apple shapes all the time wherever i go. I'm a pear shape, but i fan relate to the size difference.
