No. No they are very much not. Lol.

Exercise. I enter a workout and my protein amount goes through the ROOF!

I do breakfast smoothies sometimes. -1.5cups PC 4 berry blend (blue, black, straw, rasp) - Protein powder - 3 ice cubed - 1 cup water (or coconut water if I'm feeling frisky) This is my favorite go to but there are SO MANY different types of smoothies you can make. And they are easy to make meal or snack sized as well.

^this. The closest thing to a "meal replacement shake" I eat is a fresh blended fruit smoothy for breakfast sometimes. They just both happen to be liquid. But my smoothies are fresh, nutritious, filling and delicious. And I would have them no matter what my weight is doing simply because I LOVE them. I don't think of it as…

Hahaha! I'm down so long as we all get to dress up as a Doctor Who character. *giggle*

I think it's more about how simple carbs can cause sharp insulin spikes due to the higher amount of sugar? Which triggers other things in your body. She also said it never makes her feel full and wants to keep eating. Those are important factors. Personally you couldn't pry my white flour tortillas out of my cold dead…

He would need to be confident enough to not think of his height as some sort of dating handicap. Confident in general really. So you're short, so what? It shouldn't even cross your mind. That's how you get it done.

I work nights as well. I eat 7pm/12am/3am/sometimes 5am depending/7am only on gym days for a pre workout protein boost.

Hmmm my gym is women only and I only joined a week ago. The closest I've gotten to being hit on was this morning when a lady who saw me there last week commented on how awesome my Doctor Who t-shirts are (I have 3), how her husband is English and their love for Doctor Who as well... It was a bonding moment.

Hmmmm, I think since I've been back at it I've only missed a week of working out? I wanted to see if it would have a positive effect on a water weight/ bloating thing I had going on. I don't mind shifting around a day to suit my needs, or a couple if I'm super sick. But like, today I'm actually braving a snow storm to get…

Ok, I LOVE the programs, some of thems are tons of fun. I love the team beachbody website. It's GREAT for tracking your workouts and your progress. Other than that I strictly do my own nutrition. I would never buy their meal plans or shakeology or anything like that.

Thank you Hun, that's really sweet! And *Hi5* for the rediculously large booby club! Lol. I didn't lift then so I'm super excited to see what my body will be like around that weight as a lifter. Good luck on your journey!

My thighs are about a 1/2" difference as well, so weird.

For everything else there's Google. Seriously. Want to know more about workouts, meal planning and supplement stacks? Ask google! Just ask the first question that pops into your head and it will lead you on a merry adventure. I take whey for sure.

We have a step climber but I would LOVE to a stairmill! They are supposed to work better.

Dumbells for the win!

Deadlifts, recumbent bike, leg press, donkey kick, side leg lifts, raised foot clamshell.

I weigh every day, "official" weigh ins are Friday's, but I only LOG when I see a drop.

The simple fact that Im feeling low about it is my motivation to continue. If I don't see inches lost or weight drop for a week or 2 and I start feeling twitchy that's what motivates me to keep going. I have PLANS for this body and I refuse to stand in my own way.

It's quite possible that water retention is covering any weight loss. I can be carrying 5lbs of water at any given time. Also for me at 5'7 working out 3 days a week 1,700 would make my weight loss seem soooooo slooooooow. So if you have yourself on a 1lb/wk deficit and are carrying any water weight then you aren't going…

Fear mongering. Also, eat your meat. :D

Omg have you tried Brastop.com? They have bra sizes up to 40-something K and brilliant sales! UK company as well. I used to have to pay $200/bra until I found them a few months ago. Losing weight kind of screwed me now because my boobs also shrink last, but once they catch up I can start shopping again so my bras are…

Today I put on a tank top that used to stretch tight and unflatteringly across my stomach but today it flowed smoothly over me with room to spare.

Why thank you dahling, that's the sweetest thing I've heard all day. I do tend to carry my Amazonian mantle with pride. That song "Brickhouse" is practically my theme song. I just wanted to show an example of how sometimes there really ARE outliers. We tend to trash the whole "special snowflake" mentality on here because…

My cardio constantly changes as I try to find my ideal balance. For a while it was a half hour 6 days a week. Then an hour 5 days a week. Then it was half hour some days, an hour others (leg and butt day). Then I quit cardio all together for this past month. Now that I've joined a gym I think I have the perfect flow. I…

That is such an interesting comment. It's amazing all of the intimate details and spectrum that so many of us don't consider in another persons journey.

Yeah, no doubt. I try to not take it for granted, but obviously I kinda did which is why I have to lose weight now. The scale crept up and I kept looking fab and then BAM! Put on 80lbs and now I'm screwed and have to pay the price.

Cool, once I hit my goal I'm going to assess things. Then I think I want to work towards competions as well, fitness model category (which is different from fitness). Not every league has it but it's exactly where I want to be.

I have an iPod touch. That baby goes straight into my bra.

So true, frame size and how you carry your weight make a huge difference. I'm an hourglass shape. I have strong leg muscles, small waist, big bum and have boobs the size of your head. No that is NOT an exaggeration. I'm a bit of a booby freak of nature. *shrug*. My boobs are actually super small in that pic (for me, they…
