Nope

Too bad more people don't think that way. I've read some nasty comments about women in particular being "hideous" or whatnot because of stretch marks. I was pretty surprised the first time I saw my stretch marks appear on my stomach while pregnant but I got over it. They fade any way. I am pretty sure my SO doesn't care…

Yes I love it but my SO is severely allergic so I eat soy butter instead at home. I keep a stash of PB and peanuts at my work. lol

Pretty much but I've always been really boring when it comes to food lol

You will lose fat if you are working out that much, and you will need the extra calories. Some days I do Ripped in 30 on top of Insanity, but I am mostly focused on Insanity. I eat around 1500 - 1800 cals a day. I also would not focus as much on the scale but more on your measurements. My weight goes down very slowly but…

Southwestern Ontario. We got tons of snow yesterday!

I definitely do not miss my thighs rubbing together when I walk....yuck. Or dreading clothes shopping and leaving the store empty handed because nothing fits right.

I use Shakeology or Powerbar protein powder in my own shakes (I don't find it as filling though). ETA You can add spinach, greek yogurt, mixed berries, peanut butter and bananas etc to your shakes with protein powder

I drink non fat chocolate milk every day. Love it. I rarely actually eat chocolate now.

It has never affected my weight loss, but I stopped having any because I just feel better without it.

You look absolutely amazing :)

No it won`t affect your weight loss. I wondered the same myself until I learned that MFP has the protein intake as 15% as the default. I have usually around 100 - 115 g per day (up to 35%) where as MFP was telling me to take 50 g. You can change these settings if you want by customizing your diary. (My Home > Goals >…

I am that co worker too. Muahahaha.

It is for accuracy. I imagine once you get used to it you will be able to tell by looking how much a portion is

I am on week 3 :) I'll add you

I burned over 800 yesterday, so yeah its possible. I eat back some of them because I am not hungry enough to eat back all of it.

I have an identical twin. We used to eat the same, crap food all the time but I eat differently and my twin still eats crap. Our bodies look different despite the fact my twin is doing P90X and I'm doing Insanity. Not sure about our blood work but I'd be interested to see!

Exactly. I certainly had to learn that the hard way and it was not fun. I remember the Dr looked at my very puzzled and said most people my age rarely have this problem especially someone as thin and "fit" as I was. I've always been active and had an "atheletes" heart rate but it didn't matter. It was too late, the damage…

Yes, some "crap" food every now and then is fine. I am not perfect with my diet but I still try to limit these foods. I see people who eat these bad foods every day and think it is still "healthy" as long as they are within their calorie goal. While they may lose weight, its certainly isn't the best approach and I wouldn't…

I really really wish my partner cared about his weight and overall health but he does not. So I do this alone. It is frustrating and it concerns me actually, since he falls under the "obese" category. I try to be encouraging but there is not much I can do...

I have noticed this too and find it really surprising. I'm not here to just "lose weight" but be healthy and fit.

Diet Dr Pepper was probably my favourite but I don't drink diet or regular drinks anymore, they don't even taste the same to me.

Maybe he is just really frustrated and doesn't want to eat your food? Not that I agree with the way he treated you, at all. I would recommend he goes and gets his own. My partner got annoyed at first when I was buying what I liked to eat, now we just buy our own foods when we grocery shop together. I was hoping that I…

Tim Hortons, 2 milk 1 sugar

It's not "bad" but they have a lot of sodium in them plus they aren't very filling, at least not to me.

Maybe 3 lbs? My weight hasn't changed a lot but my body fat %went from 26% to 23.7% based on my measurements

I find it too low. I try to get 115 g per day or more depending on how much I work out.

What athlete eats only 800-900 calories a day?!

I just bought a new 2012 GMC Orlando. It's my "Mom" car. When my kids are older I'd like to have a BMW car.

I picked it because that was my weight when I was the thinnest as an adult and very happy about myself. However my goals have changed a bit since I'm actually toning rather than just losing weight soo I'm really not so sure what that number should be.
