I completely agree. Speaking from experience as a mother of two, I couldn't have said it better myself.

That isn't true. EDIT: Unless you are eating way over 35% protein a day (not 75g - 100g unless you are barely eating any calories...), then it could cause health issues but it would have to be a substantial amount of protein daily for quite some time.

MFP defaults the percentage of protein to only 15%. You can increase it manually by customizing your diary. I intake around 35% protein.

Great work!! :)

You didn't ruin your progress with one meal. No worries. :)

Only to mindless men.

If you are aiming to look like a magazine cover then you can't be too bright. We all know its tweaked.

Coke Zero is supposed to taste more like regular coke than diet, and it was marketed for men because it is supposed to sound more "manly" without the word diet.

What's wrong with looking at the women in bikini thread? lol

I am that evil co worker who brings in crap for everyone. :) I love to bake but I am not big in to eating sweets.

I would get new shoes. I had an issue with my ankle and I just bought these ones here: http://www.sportchek.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=13078745 It really made a huge difference doing Insanity.

Tough love. I see no reason to sugar coat it but at the same time there is a way to delivery a message with tact.

I have 15 lbs to go and I am losing about 1/2-1lb a week. I am also building muscle too though.

"Fat free" anything tastes like crap. Isn't it loaded with sodium any way? I'll take the fat!

Hrm you're husband is wrong. Unless you are eating excessive calories, you won't gain weight.

Specist.

It is difficult to know exactly what size pants you are since every manufacture has their own standards. I have two pairs of pants, both the same size bought from the same store 3 years apart. The one bought first is larger than the new one.

Oh shut up Miss I have 102 lbs to lose.

A guy grab my *kitten* so I punched him in the face. Problem solved.

Where do you live where a head of lettuce is $4?!? Whaaat? You sound WAY too hard on yourself. Changing eating habits doesn't always happen over night, its a transition. Your scale probably went up because you started doing a new workout with strength. My scale has barely changed yet I have gone down a pant size within a…

Try preparing them different ways. I do not like a lot of vegetables but I try my best to include the ones I do like in my diet. I add garlic and pepper to them for more flavor.

Do you have anything for post workout? I used to feel that way but now I have protein shakes after an intense workout. Maybe you could try that?

I don't know. People get butthurt too easily.

It seems too low. I would bump it up to at least 1800 cals

Yes I definitely see the difference! Good job

Woohoo you look amazing! i am also 5'7 and I won't lie, I would love to see a number under 140 :P

No, because I am not on a "diet".

I find I lose fat a lot faster by doing both strength training and cardio so I recommend it. I also don't suggest you worry too much on the scale but take your measurements as well. I lose inches while the scale doesn't move a whole lot but as long as I am losing fat that is all I care about.

Good luck If you go to home > my goals > customize you can change your diary settings
