I have lifted and carried 40-60lb bags and water jugs daily at work for the last year and a half, I can assure you that I do not look like an Olympian.

It works at getting people to buy lots of their products.

I don't think it was cruel exactly but in high school when I was CHUBBY my mom used to sit me down and tell me seriously "You'll never be happy if you don't lose weight." and so forth. When I wanted to play sports like soccer or basketball, she would say that wasn't for girls and start harping about my weight, and then she…

I do some amount of cardio daily and I usually do squats+calf raises day 1, deadlifts day 2 and bench presses/upper body (pullovers, 21s, lats, bent over rows) day 3 with day 4 just cardio or misc stuff like leg press/curls/whatever's not sore. If I really am tired I take day 4 off. Then I start over. I feel like I have…

Thanks I'll try that!

I don't really want to eat 4 pounds of raspberry ketones in an attempt to replicate the effects in mice anyways

raspberry ketones wiki: "When given to mice in very high doses (up to 2% of body weight), raspberry ketone has been shown to prevent high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight.[8] However, no effects on body weight were observed with doses up to 200 times greater than the estimated intake in humans.[9] The high dose…

Stop starving yourself and your body will maintain muscle mass instead of cannibalizing it

For the love of God. NO.

A calorie is a calorie etc etc but these are calories often laden down with gross crap that makes you feel like gross crap. In my case the added chemicals frequently trigger migraines. I suggest trying to cut out/significantly lower processed foods for a couple of weeks to see if it makes a difference in how you feel…

You mean the "cleanse" where you don't eat for several days and drink water with lemon juice with cayenne pepper in it? no don't do it

Most of them are just green tea extract and caffeine.

Haha oh god. I had the WORST cheese addiction. I had to give up cheese 100% for about a month to break it, and then slllowlllly reintroduce it. Happily I'm at the point now where I can enjoy 3-4 servings of cheese per week without turning into the cheese monster. I still can't be trusted around cheddars though.

You ladies can have Magic Mike, I'll be rewatching Prometheus and eyebanging Michael Fassbender.

I'm a smartass and I love other smartasses.

Oh wow, congrats! You're doing awesome!

MMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOWWWWWWWW

IT'S WORTH IT

My husband's body!

(Not my NSV) It was raining the other night so I was waiting with the car running while my husband ran in the grocery store to grab a snack. I saw a big tall muscular guy marching towards the car in the dark and I hit the locks before I realized it was him LOL

I had to cut down on cheese drastically because it's my favorite food in the whole universe and it's SO SO SO EASY to heap on way too much. I don't think there's anything wrong with cheese, but it's calorie dense and delicious ... makes it kinda tough for me to eat in moderation if I'm not careful. I try to stick to 3-4…

Started deadlifts at 135lb and managed to do a full 5 sets of 5... very proud of myself, it took a while for me to gather the confidence to even attempt them.

I loled

I love exercise now.

Apples, mozzarella sticks, dried fruit (with no sugar added), organic crackers/chips with hummus, crispbread, salsa, cottage cheese single serve cups, rice pudding single serve cups (it's a total dessert treat, but fairly low in calories and with 4g of protein).

Like every other person in this thread, I was too fat to ride the rollercoaster. We should all go rollercoastering together once we hit our goals. THAT'LL SHOW EM.

Honestly it sounds pretty harmless to me, but then again my husband and I tease each other all the time.

I was constantly exhausted when I did this. It felt horrible.

Um. Being strong and fit doesn't make girls "ripped" unless they intentionally go for that look. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ This girl here is a powerlifter, and I don't think anyone could describe her as being "bulky" or "ripped".

Do bench presses.
