From what I've read, sweating doesn't really do anything good for you other than cool your body or make you feel good, if you like the feeling of sweating. You NEED water. You need to drink a lot of it all the time. If you sweat it out, you've got to drink even more. When people talk about getting rid of water retention, I…

Maybe just change your settings to "maintain" for a week? When I switched to maintain I went from 1200 to 1500 calories, which felt like a huge difference in the amount I could eat.

You could even stick something in the toaster oven (spinach pancakes, sweet…

At the same time, I have more energy and feel stronger than I have in I don't know how many years. I just switched to "maintenance" caloric…

I'm wondering if it's possible to just not let yourself snack, or to mentally prepare yourself and accept that you will only have x amount of snacks. I know that sounds really stupid, but I not only sit at a desk, but I work from home, so my entire kitchen is filled with stuff I could eat. There was one morning where I had…

You look fantastic--and happy! Keep up the good work, it looks like you are taking good care of yourself.

Matching bottoms, definitely. The black ones look like underwear. Great color choices, I think it looks awesome with your hair and tattoos. I think you look amazing!
