for me it was about 10 as well. because i lose quickly from the torso on up, all my shirts started fitting nicely right away. i'm down 15 so it looks even nicer i think only about 3lb. of it is gone from my hips though. i can wear a junior small t shirt and still be sporting a 12 jeans :sad:

me at comic con a few months ago, i was horrified by the picture. Left is before, Right is current, taken today. here you are oh and OH HELL YEA.....you can see it in your face and upper body. there is a definite difference!! congrats, whatever you're doing is working for you!

I allowed many of the same things but I was in a relationship. I ALLOWED this person to walk all over me, to be demanding and selfish. I would "suck it up", do their bidding, and be boiling mad and seething inside. I hoped that if I was "there" for them in every way, they would like me and I would be needed. I finally…

Heavy weight training composed of mostly compound movements (deadlifts, squats, stiff legged dl's, bench press, etc) I do 4 sessions a week, each one lasts about an hour. i also run 3 mi. 3x/wk

i'm 47 and i still love Abercrombie's rugged outdoorsy active clothing/style. I still go look sometimes!! I've always been "hippy" and I used to dream about being able to wear the women's jeans back in the day (i've always been a small/medium Junior's on top but i could never get my booty in those jeans :laugh:

There are assisted pullup bands available in a variety of resistances that can help you build strength. Crossfit athletes use them. When I used to do Crossfit I know they helped me LOL If you want something free, this is what we used to do at Crossfit. They had huge tractor trailer tires on site. We would get into pushup…

i've just looked at my food diary and most days i'm around 100-120 g carbs per day(unintentionally though, I tend to gravitate toward protein and fats, i'd rather have a good steak and big azz salad than potatoes) i meet my macros (1600-1800 cals a day) through lean meats, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes and…

lulz:laugh:

ZMA also helps with maximizing muscle absorption and helps with recovery from exercise

Definite introvert. I dated an extrovert for 7 years and it was......well....draining. We always had to be doing SOMETHING. ugh I can go to the movies alone, out to eat, etc....idgaf LOL love chilling at home on the intrawebz or watching movies. thank goodness i'm a Network Admin, i'm around servers all day and they don't…

^^this^^.....i don't have any friends on MFP. i get some, but i just don't know what to say to them. they can eat how they want, zumba all day long, etc....that's on them. i don't want to criticize, and me commenting "atta-boy" everyday seems fake to me. i like reading the forum posts however. Some threads are motivating,…

Most favorite: Brussels Sprouts Least favorite: beets :sick:

holy s**t you look at least 10 years younger in the "after" pics and lol'd at ur daughter back there, i could just imagine some lego's or car keys in the toilet :bigsmile:

love this.....i would ask if i can pay for a cup of caramel corn....or, bring a measuring cup along in a small paper bag, in case they can only sell you a whole portion. then measure out your cup, put it in the bag and ditch the rest. i find that when i can work in a small treat now and again, it makes the…

put the knife down and back away from the Nutella!!!! :laugh: seriously though, your diary isn't that bad. i think it's great that you're logging everything. i don't think you failed at all. you now have a log you can make changes to!!! like take out one slice of bread and 1 tbs. nutella and replace it with a greek yogurt…

lol i'm a member of a couple of bb forums, and i ALWAYS hear this from the guys!!!! wth ahahahaaa

Just get them buns over there and start lifting :wink: Serious though, if you've never trained with free weights before, it would be a little better to get a personal trainer to show you the ropes. Or, if you have a friend/co-worker, DH, etc that lifts they could take you through a basic workout. If all else fails, i'd go…

I get that sometimes....................."You're eating THATTTTTTTTTTTTTT?????" if I want to occasionally indulge in some chinese buffet, candy, cookies, etc those are usually the same people that see me making a salad in the office kitchen and go "oh so you're eating healthy again today?????" ugh, i'm just eating what i…

ditto everyone has their "perfect" body type in their mind, seems like if you don't go along with everyone else you get crucified. thin-bashing is JUST as bad as fat-bashing! :mad: live and let live, appreciate the fact that we are all here, all humans, and as such, have differing opinions.....why is it so hard to just…

how cool.....you're on a farm so you have access to those big tires for flipping....that's a great all over body workout, especially if you squat down and push up as you push and flip the tire over....be prepared for the booty u can bounce a quarter off of lol

weight lifting - mostly compound movements (squats, deadlifts, bench press, etc) in the 8-12 rep range 3x/week. i like to train heavy and intense and get outta there in under an hour. run - 5k 3x/week. i also throw in a couple of lite cardio sessions on the weekends.....just get on, go at an easy pace and watch the tv's.…

good for you OP for saving up for your future while you stay with your parents. it must be frustrating at times, but i'm sure the benefits outweigh the inconveniences. I'd give anything to be able to move in with my Mom, chill out with her, talk, shop, cook and i'm 47. I miss her so. :cry: good luck OP don't forget to tell…

Every Sunday morning. The rest of the time, the scale stays in the bathroom, unused. It would drive me absolutely nutso to see +0.2 on Monday morning, -0.6 Monday afternoon, +.11 Tuesday morning, lather, rinse, repeat ugh :sick:

wait a minute................. How come coworker/very good friend/guy that you will probably date as soon as one of you finds a new job still said YES to her even AFTER he knew you ladies were going to hang out the day before and AFTER she told him it was only going to be HER showing up at the brunch? (then feels…
