My TDEE-20% is about 2400cals, so I upped my cals from 1700 a day to 2200, then back down a little to about 2100. I DID have about a month and a half stall in loss, but I FELT better and had wayyy more energy. I'm finally getting back into losing a few lbs a week, and I don't beat myself up about eating over, because I'm…

I tried it, it's not for me, lol! I know a few people who do it and are able to stick to just what they've allotted themselves for every meal, but I can't ;/

I put either regular or chocolate with sf maple syrup in oatmeal, one of my fave breakfasts! And I found this recipe for "healthy" peanut butter cups: (per serving, can be made one serving at a time :smile: ) 1 tbsp plain or choc PB2 1 tbsp water 8 dark choc chips, melted. -use a mold or shape into a ball the pb2, freeze,…

^yup. Only on the ingredient list it's Chicory Root, which can act as a mild laxative, lol, which helps with the fartability! I count fiber along with calories, and try to eat around 30ish grams a day, but in the beginning it was not pleasant :/ I do love the fiber one bars and brownies, though :smile:

You look amazing!! Great job :)

August 1st here, too. 22 pages, only 2 of us so far! :smile:

A few years ago my sisters tried to get me a kindle, and I absolutely refused! I LOVE real books, thought an ereader of any kind was blasphemy, lol. But they got me one this last Christmas, and I gotta say, greatest thing ever. My favorite part- I have 300 books on it, and I've only paid for 2 of them. Definitely worth it…

it's true. totes amazeballs.

Trucks and Vigoss. Alloy.com usually has killer clearances on jeans, so I like a LOT of dif't brands, but these are my fave 2 :smile:

Woooowww. I don't even know what to say! lol!

I noticed about 25lbs in when I could see my dimples in pictures again, lol! And my eyes didn't look so squinty. I'm at 44lbs down now, and can wear smaller clothes, which is awesome, but I do still have about another 65 to go :/

Years ago I worked for 24 Hour, just as a desk person, and I was very large. I remember my first week of work, a friend and I started working out, and when we walked into the locker room a skinny little thing in a (no joke) pink velvet outfit with loads of makeup said to her friend: "We need to start going to a different…

This just seems... evil. :tongue: It ALL looks amazing!

I use this! I use it to edit stuff first, then use instagram. :)

I've never heard of that, but if it's rue, I'm in luck because I always stay up pretty late, lol!

Windy Westcuster. Windy was a cockerspaniel- she got her name cuz she tooted a lot :smile: lol

I have a loooong way to go myself. I'm here for ya if ya need me! I can always use some extra support, too :smile:

I've always just used it on crackers or sandwiches, or melted with veggies, but some of these ideas are soooo good! Definitely saving for later :smile:

Sending an add your way :) I am totes up for giving support, and would love extra support myself! :)

That is truly AMAZING! I've been at the same weight for a few weeks, and I haven't done measurements in a while, so you give me hope :smile: Keep up the great work!! Totes gonna follow you on ig now :smile:

29 till Wednesday, lol, Billings, Montana

I think about quitting the workout early, EVERYTIME!! And then I think, nahh, I'll never get hot if I don't keep going. lol :smile:

new ink? :smile:

I've made thai peanut sauce- super low cal and not bad!, take air popped corn with a little spray butter and dip it in a serving of pb2, smoothies, sandwiches, and my absolute FAVE recipe for it is to put it in oatmeal with a little bit of sf maple syrup- tastes like a hot no bake cookie. mmm. :smile:

Just got home from the gym, checkin' out the forums before I get ready for bed :)

I do! I don't drink them constantly, because I am aware there are artificial sugars and whatnot in it, but I gave up pop almost 9 years ago, and every now and then a key lime water tastes just like sprite to me :smile:

Food: the Lacey cookies from World Market. Crap. Can't buy em, or I'll eat the whole container! Non-food: nail polish. I have so much polish.

^^ that suggestion sounds fabulous!!

I looove going to the gym really late at night! Glad ya made it there, now ya can feel better bout your day :smile:
