I heard she wasn't here for fitness... I kid, I kid. Helly, you are amazing and I adore you. You kick life in the chonies. <3

Nope. Nope, nope, nope. You might get that in the very first week, but you won't get it after that. 7 pounds is completely unrealistic without removing body parts. Even if you manage to succeed the first week, I highly doubt that weight will stay off. Your best bet is to do this the right way and slowly.

"Toning" as it is used these days is completely incorrect. You want to lose body fat to make those muscles appear more defined. Lifting weights will help with that. The resources from @kailadriel are not really for those interested in competing. They are a good start for anyone that wants to start lifting. If you are…

OP asks if she is eating too little and harming her body. Everyone says yes. OP gets "offended". Sounds about right.

...been so drunk that you accidentally post in the forums? I'm pretty sure that I can't claim that... and by the sound of it, neither can you?

Oh no. Guacamole is not something that should be tampered with - it is perfect in its intended form!

This. When I buy the ones with honey in them (always the 2% because it's just so much creamier than the 0%), I only use the amount of honey I actually want in my yogurt. If the whole thing is too sweet (which for me, it is), I only use a spoonful and leave the rest, or, since I've already logged it, add it to my morning…

It kind of sounds like you are over-stressing your body. Not just with school, but by eating too little and working out twice a day (1200 calories and two-a-days does not allow you to properly fuel yourself). That may have contributed to changing your period cycle. You've come a long way. Take pride in that. Getting over…

Your beard seems to get more magnificent every time you post that gif.

I mean... This makes perfect sense to me. I'd give you my money. How do I prepare my body to prepare my body to prepare my body for eating clean? Instead of just washing my veggies in soap do I need to bleach them first?

@_John_, the struggle to avoid eating all the food is real. Don't be a bully to those of us without willpower. WINGS ARE MY TRIGGER FOOD!

THAT earned you three flags? Seriously? It COULD be a thyroid issue. No one is saying it isn't, but walking into the doctor's office and saying "This one chick on the internet said it was my thyroid. Do all the tests," isn't going to be nearly as effective as walking in with a food diary listing everything OP has eaten and…

If having a donut is falling off the wagon, I must not have ever been on it.

I actually had some tacos with an asian flair and they were still REALLY tasty. Instead of lettuce, they used some cabbage and emphasized that flavor. However, a salad would also work.

10/10 Would eat.

Sexypants is particularly helpful. Like MKEgal said, depending on the time frame you are giving yourself, losing it all by 40 might not be possible, but don't let that discourage you. You don't want to lose too fast - in the long run, that's less sustainable. Slow and steady wins the race!

I agree with this^! I started New Rules in December and I love it! I do it MWF, but in between I'll do some kind of cardio on the "rest" days in between.

I'm so disturbed.

Addiction: compulsive physiological need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal; broadly : persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be physically, psychologically, or socially…

I think adding that feature back would be helpful. I rarely use the forums anymore because the only ones I tend to see in the "recent" column are the kiss/bang/etc. threads. It would be nice to have a real topic to weigh in on. The only downside I see to that is the mass amounts of flags a halfway decent post might get for…

Serious question... What are these fertility foods you speak of?

That would suck for me. The way my company runs, they'd probably bump all of my staff up to that minimum wage of $15, but I wouldn't get bumped up. I'd have to quit. It took me ten years to get where I'm at now (note, five promotions) and I'm barely making 30 cents more than that. Maybe I'll just ask for a demotion!

Is this the water designed to flush out all the toxins? I think I saw this stuff on Dr. Oz. I heard it really works!

My breakfast this morning was Greek yogurt. Other mornings, I do cottage cheese and canned peaches. Lots of protein, super filling, takes 2 minutes to prepare (I prep it at the beginning of the week and take on the go in the mornings). You'll stretch your dollar a lot more that way than spending your hard-earned money on…

But that's a Jedi cat...

Wait. You actually believe that eating less and exercising more won't make you healthier? That's what I just read, right? She called the facts and science garbage? And the fear-mongering documentary has now become her source of knowledge? Oh, forums. I had hope for you, I really did.
