It feels so weird to be told I inspire anyone. Thank you all so much, seriously it means so much to me! :flowerforyou:

Someone asked me about plateaus, and what to do. I thought I'd share my response as others may have the same question. There's a lot of advice out there, but this is mine: I just kept eating healthy, it will break. My longest was 6 weeks with no weight loss, and even a couple of gains. It's just something that happens when…

Thank you all so much!

Don't give up! :flowerforyou:

Thank you! I love this club!!! :drinker:

Thanks for being an awesome friend, and you truly are one of my inspirations! Thanks for being my friend. <3

I really miss spaghetti. I tried those wheat noodles, but I just can't like them for the life of me. You have been an awesome friend and inspiration too girl! Keep up the fight!

Thank you so much. And I will go shopping as soon as I get a little money. Clothes are so expensive, and I keep telling myself it will be a waste of money because those will be too big after long. It really is uncomfortable wearing clothes that are so big on me though, so I might just have to give in and shop.

Thanks Jen! You rock too girl!

She does know, and it makes her very happy.

My Aunt Beckie has them, and she doesn't have any problems with them. She had to wear hard contacts before which caused her a lot of problems. Good luck!

I've never liked this double standard. Why do people think it's ok to say "you're too skinny", or "you don't eat enough", but it's not ok to say "you're too fat" or "you eat too much". And the force feeding thing is ridiculous. The BMI chart is sometimes the culprit, and some people don't know the difference between BMI &…

That's not what I meant, I know it's on the box. What I meant was, what is the process of finding that information out? Who determines the numbers to put on the box and how do they do it?

I live in Portage Lakes! Feel free to add me. :smile:

I like college football, so Ohio State Buckeyes, Kent State & Akron U!

I don't personally think it's a bad idea to approach someone ANYWHERE if there is a mutual attraction going on. If she is glancing at you a lot, she obviously notices you. Why wouldn't you want to be with someone who has the same lifestyle you do? The best way to approach her is to just approach her! Say "hi" to her, ask…

I'm at 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. MFP will calculate your protein automatically when you set which percentage you decide to do, but you should be eating around 1g protein per 1lb lean body mass. Someone may be able to tell you how to calculate that, mine was done for me by my dietitian. I wish I could help further.…

Beans: Black beans Garbanzo (chickpeas) Kidney beans Lentil beans Lima beans Navy beans Soybeans (edamame) Tofu Dairy (other than eggs): Cheddar cheese Cottage Cheese Milk, lowfat or skim Muenster cheese Swiss cheese Yogurt, lowfat or nonfat Fish: Anchovies, in water Halibut Mackerel Salmon Sardines, in water Tuna, tongol…

If your gym has a water aerobics class, you should definitely join it! I love it! The main thing is just to keep moving. You can get yourself some water dumbells too. The faster you move in the water, the more you get out of your workout. I also run in the water in the lanes, which is a major workout in my opinion. You can…

Wow! That's amazing!! You're a rockstar!! :flowerforyou:

Wow! You look amazing! Love that dress!!!

I'm not going to bother reading everyone else's responses, as they will probably just make me mad. People like you are the reason people like me don't even like to leave the house. If I was having a "cheat meal", and someone like you saw me, you'd probably think the same thing as you just posted. But I've seen your posts,…

Amazing! You're such an inspiration! :flowerforyou:

No, you're not the only one that would laugh that off. Plenty would even take it as a compliment, but there are plenty that wouldn't. He asked how to make a compliment and not be creepy, and that comment is creepy to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would feel that way.

Your story is amazing! Very inspirational, thank you! And thank you for your service!!

I'd say if you wouldn't say it to your daughter, don't say it to a stranger. Especially if they are young enough to be your daughter. Saying "I need to go take a cold shower now" after a compliment (which you did previously) is a No No.

Love it!! :flowerforyou:

Just wear shoes?

I know what I look like at 140 lbs, and want to look that good again. I was always an athletic build. If my BF% isn't low enough at 140 I will go lower. I want muscle definition and nice abs. According to BMI charts, I can go as low as 107, but I don't have the bone structure for that weight I don't think. The ultimate…
