I'm going to assume that the people in support to the winner's weight loss probably wish they had such ~self-control~ too. Developing an eating disorder isn't something to be desired.

I usually buy my workout clothes at Target. They usually have a sale or clearance on some of their C9 stuff most of the time. I have been working out in the same 3-5 pairs of workout pants for over a year and they are lasting very well! I usually buy their racerback workout shirts. Their website sometimes has a better sale…

I have been lifting (HEAVY) regularly for over a year and have been on a deficit for the most part. Focusing on fats. proteins and eating low carb. I started out with severe jiggly arms and now they hardly jiggle at all. My arms are smaller and fit into M's again (used to buy XL because of my arms) It takes time and…

My version of clean eating is making meals from scratch. I hardly consume processed foods nowadays.

I used to count calories burned while lifting heavy, but I fell out of the habit of tracking it (with my HRM)...now I just eat as I normally do with/without the lifting. When I did track it with a HRM I burned anywhere from 50-200 extra calories, depending on day. Some days my heart rate went faster than other times...Like…

Those who think cauliflower is disgusting to use in recipes obviously don't know how to cook with it.

I wouldn't recommend placing it in against the skin (tucked in waist band of pants, sports bra)...personally, the sweat damaged my ipod so it stopped working.

You just have to learn self control. It becomes easier after the first week. I recently had to mentally slap myself because I started to gain a lot of my weight back. I just remind myself that I don't want to get back up to where I started, especially since it took so long...

Learn self control and let others eat as they want to...

There was this girl I was online buddies with for the longest time (she was actually the one who introduced me to MFP). She weighs about 400lbs, is in poor health and always complained about having to make her own clothes. She used to try and better herself, but then she got herself very into this fat acceptance thing. She…

There's usually going to be good reviews about products like this. Sometimes people think a pill work when what is actually happening is that they have motivation, simply due to the hype they brought on in their own minds when starting something new. Hope you see where I'm coming from...

I just pour a serving of maple into a little bowl and dip my pancakes enough for some flavor...last time I did that, I hardly made a dint in the syrup! Was surprised since I thought I used more syrup than that.

I didn't wear undies until the one time I had a glimpse in the mirror and saw camel toe

Sometimes all it takes are some sweet words to get the motivation going. :) 3lbs in a month is not bad at all. I am lucky if I lose 2lbs in a month. According to your ticker, it doesn't seem like you have much to lose! Keep it up. :)

I used to have regular pierced ears (hadn't worn any for 5 years), so they used the existing holes...maybe that had something to do with the larger starter? They went on about giving me 14's...then the girl said something about 12's... Then I go back 6 weeks later and find out she actually put 10's. -_- My left lobe got a…

Sorta depends on the studio...Some could pay extra money for good stuff, but get some utter crap. You can get just as good stuff from reputable online body jewelry shops.

Sushi is aweeeesome. I love eating sashimi. I used to eat rolls, but all the rice weighs me down. I am only in it for the fish anyway, so I don't mind. It's great for protein and healthy fats! I usually eat salmon and/or unagi with a side of avocado. mmmm

Yeah, my local shops suck. Took them ages to find the size to start my gauging at. Found out when I went back (to start gauging upper lobes) that I had 10g starters instead of 12g. I am SOOO glad I didn't order any 12g plugs (online) after my first visit. I was eyeing 5 pairs on ebay. :| EDIT: At least I am over the "OMG…

freshtrends.com I have gauged ears, so that's where I buy my plugs from. (originally discovered them on ebay). They have other jewelry too. I signed up on their email list and there's a decent promo code time to time. Only have to spend $20 to get free shipping! You can return any jewelry you don't like (as long as you…

A more accurate estimate would be to check your heart rate after working out and input the info here: http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm

I mix it with homemade pico de gallo sometimes...it's an awesome combination!

As everyone else said, no you can't target those area. I always had large upper arms and a lot of fat on my back...it made for unflattering photos. -_- Personally, I started working out in June/July...my arms AND back look so much better now. I was afraid to lift weights since I didn't know much about it at the time. I…

I am 5'2" and a mommy of 1. I weighed 135lbs pre-marriage/pregnancy, so I am aiming to get back to that number. I started my journey at 167lbs, but didn't take a "before" photo until late July. I gained 70lbs during pregnancy, so my stomach was messed up pretty bad...stretch marks everywhere and such! I am still in shock…

I don't have any recent full body pictures, so I can't provide those sort of before/afters....but I have this. Hope it helps! EDIT: I started my journey at 167lbs, but didn't feel up to taking a "before" photo until late July. I am a mommy of one, so I am really happy I am finally losing the pouch on my lower stomach. It's…

I always feel a little rough (since I never wear makeup anyway), but it seems like it doesn't stop the attention I get from guys. Probably doesn't help that I'm one of the very few female heavy lifters in the mornings, so dudes need to stare at something? lol
