You must tell me how to make whipped maple syrup!

I like a shallow V and I prefer to only see the very top of it on most guys (because they wear their pants in a proper place) but I absolutely love it on my husband and I get to see the whole thing! ;)

Wow! Great work!

Definitely part of it, but probably only around 80-100cal of that 200.

I just input all of my specific ingredients in MFP and got 490cal, 51g carbs, 8g fat, and 55g protein. Funny how it turned out so differently with what must be different brands. I'm still definitely making them though because the protein count is still great, they sound delish, and I probably won't manage to eat all 6…

A large part of the reason I started my weight loss journey was to get in good condition for carrying a baby and this morning I got some wonderful news! I won't be able to eat in a deficit for the next 9 months or so now. I truly appreciate all of the help I've gotten from everyone here and my husband and I are so happy!…

I do two measurements. I do the one at my natural waist which is ~2" above my belly button and I do one at my belly button.

I realized I never posted my own goal weight. It's around 145lbs, but really it's 20-22% BF. I don't want my BF to get too too low because I'm trying to make a baby right now :)

:flowerforyou:

I find it tough to eat under 2k actually. To get over 4k all I need to do is eat some pizza, nachos, sugary desserts, and wings. That actually would probably get me well over 4k now that I think about it.

Way to man up like he hasn't :). You look great and it's a totally fine goal for some, including you. You certainly look happy and healthy in your profile pic. Rock that body, girl!

The most I've eaten in a day since I started tracking was just under 6,000 and that was Easter.

A bit of vanilla extract, frozen or fresh berries, any type of milk, bananas, molasses if you like it, salt, butter, sweet or savoury spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, dill, basil, etc). Mix and match :) I do frozen raspberries, vanilla, and sometimes milk at the moment. ETA: Also nuts, dried fruit (raisins, craisins, dates, etc),…

Alright, I'll try to do those things and I'll be back to update in a week. Thanks for the response!

I have that problem too and I often chew gum to try not to eat. If I can't manage that then I cut up a cucumber into really thin slices and eat them individually in at least 2 bites and chew them thoroughly.

Gotta try this! I have all of the ingredients too!

I've heard good things about vaginal weights. I even read an article one time about a woman who liked them so much she had something like 30lb ones made for herself! I don't think you'll want to go that crazy, but definitely give them a shot.

I'm afraid that I don't have any recipes for you, but my mom has a similar problem with those foods you listed. She suspects it's whatever they use to give it that smoked flavour. Do you have it happen with smoked chips and smoked BBQ sauces too?

My husband uses corn chips, I use cucumber slices, my friends use pitas, and my mother uses any vegetable at all.

Gerard Butler! ETA: resize

@herblackwings: Well, I can't eat salads, but do you know of other things that I can add these to? I tried ground flax seeds once but they were rancid already when I bought them (they were in a sealed bag too). @jessicalysenko: I want to try getting the fiber from whole foods before introducing things like psyllium husk…

@texaslonghorn: Thanks! I might have to look at some Fiber One stuff at the store. @kindasortachewy: Thanks! I'll have to look into those and see if they sell them near me. @ellaloveslove: I've never heard of Benefiber. If I can't manage to get enough fiber from the foods that I can eat then I might have to look into that.…

Some people feel like it does more for them because it makes them burn more afterwards. My husband has decided that he likes to work out like that lately. He doesn't sacrifice his full range of motion for it though. He was doing slow and steady like I do when I lift but he wasn't hurting much afterwards so he felt that it…

I say that if you've got the body and the confidence for it then the stretch marks don't matter and you should rock the tops. :smile:

I'm going to try my hand at this.

I am in love!

Woo! Thank you :D And you :)

Nope. Not my kinda guy. He's not manly enough for me. I like guys with real facial hair, more muscle, and less baby fat. But to each their own :). I'd add a picture of my kind of man candy if I knew how. Can somebody add the Rock or Matt Damon please?

I believe you are supposed to put the light exercise down because they calculate that as a part of the deficit (AKA you don't eat the exercise cals back).

1) Try to increase your cals gradually, I went straight from 1200 to 1800 and I gained for a week or two then maintained for a week or two but am now losing quite well at 1800. My body just didn't have time to get used to the cal increase right away but 1800 seems to be doing it for me now. 2) Lots of people direct me and…
