I was eating at TDEE -20% on my non fast days for 3 weeks and losing over 2lbs each week but I wasn't feeling good and after 3 weeks I lost none the following week .8 the next. So I upped my calories to my TDEE and I feel better and I lost 3lbs the week after doing that. I had to listen to my body. There are days where I…

Congrats be proud of yourself.

You should be fitted for shoes if it's hurting your foot. Being outside to me is peaceful and fresh air. I feel like the gym is so muggy and i'm facing a mirror or wall where running outside you get to take in the scenery. But do what you like.

I try to plan the night before but that doesn't always work so I'll do it in the morning and then I tweak it if I have to.

Wow I had to double check the dates. Great progress in just 4 months. You were truly motivated.

For 8 years I had stomach pain. I have 3 kids so I know what labor pains felt like and my pain felt like labor pains. Screaming, crying, trips to the ER. Been to so many specialist. Was diagnosed with ulcers. Medication not working, still having stomach pains. Diagnosed with acid reflux. Medication not working, still…

You should come to Spain. McDonalds has a gluten free menu:)) I eat out for lunch alot with friends and hubby but it's restaurants. I do love Gyro's though so that's my fast food.

This is my third Mirena (after getting pregnant with my son on the first one) and i've always been able to lose weight. I got my to my goal weight last year. I gained 20lbs back but I stopped exercising and ate whatever I wanted.I"m back on track and have lost 6.2lbs in 3 weeks so I don't think, at least for me, it's the…

Yes i'm definitely a Cancer and love it!

wowwwwww. You guys look AWESOME!!! Congrats and to have someone helping through it all because they are going through the same is the best!

I have gone mostly gluten free. By this I mean, I will have a pizza or some pasta once in a while and if there is an entree with a small piece of bread I won't freak out. It's called being human and being adaptable. [/quote] I will not every once in awhile eat something with gluten in it. I do freak out because I know the…

No,no,no,no. Gluten free should only be for thiose with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. We have to eat like this the rest of our life not until we lose the pounds we want. It may actually make you gain weight as a lot of gluten free processed foods are high in calories.

I hurt my back while training for a half marathon so I can't run until I strengthen my back and I have to lose weight to get the extra weight off my back. Plus I want to lose the 30lbs I gained from last summer as last summer I was finally wearing a bathing suit and shorts.

My legs but now I can't run so I'm afraid they won't look so toned anymore.

For years I have been making different dishes or changing 1 or 2 things. I'm not going to force my family to eat things they don't like. My friends think i'm crazy and have this "your going to eat what I cook" attitude but everybody has different taste buds. For example yesterday I made fried chicken with bisquits, which…

Take side pictures. It's sometimes easier to tell.

I've been gluten free for 1 1/2years and therefore no wheat and I still have swelling and joint pain.

Like me your going to have to get over the fact that you can't do a lot of the exercises you onced loved. I was training for a half marathon this year and blew my back out and only to find out I have DDD. No spinning, no running, and no lifting weights until my back gets better. All which I love. I actually haven't worked…

I'm going to read up on that link as well. I actually feel like I sleep too much. For example I went to sleep at 1230 last night and woke up at 1200 this afternoon. I get at least 8-10hrs of sleep a day and more on the weekends and I even nap sometimes during the day. I know it's not good to sleep so much as well.

Funny as I was just looking at aceviche recipe from Skinnytaste.com that I was going to try to make for a potluck this week when I saw this post. But the above poster ceviche reipes looks very good.

You look great. I LOVE your hair.

Throw it away and do not feel guilty. If you know you are going to eat it and she's going to buy it regardless, say thank you and when she leaves throw it away.

Do you wrap your hair at night? You can do that, then when you get up put it into a ponytail. With Shoulder length you should still be able to be put into a ponytail or pin it back with bobby pins but if you put into a ponytail, make sure its lose and don't use a tight scrunchie, then when you get home just run the flight…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/8005-5-2-fasting Probably get more answers here. I eat at my TDEE - 20%.

I love Almond Milk in my cereal like others but it taste horrible in my coffee.

I love to exercise so once I lose the weight I gained back I will contintue to exercise. Low impact aerobic exercise is all new to me so I was seeing if anybody did that and still saw a loss and benefits of pilates besides weight loss. But I get what you are saying. Even without exercise, I can still lose if I eat a…

I don't eat bread due to a gluten intolerance and I don't like gluten free bread. I do however eat a lot of potatoes. I love them! But like many posters said you end up piling things on top of it but I measure everything. I never add more than 1/4c of cheese and about 2tbsp of sour cream or greek yogurt. But I usually eat…

Sign me up. I'm hitting 30 on July 12 and my goal is to at least be at 140 which means I have 27 lbs to lose. I'm so upset at myself because I was at 140 last summer:((((
