Added ya! Ah, I'm on the same boat! Nothing against my altruistic foodie friends who swear up and down about "clean" eating, but danggit, I grew up eating gummy worms, milkshakes, and cookies! I wanna still be able to enjoy my favorite childhood goodies as an adult! (in moderation, yes!) I do love my sugar! >///< hahaha! I…

Curvy cutie! you look fab! I want to keep my hips and boobs like that! haha you look great :D

Hey hey!! Welcome! We're all here to support and cheer each other on! Feel free to add me and expect to be supported and called out!

Welcome! Everyone, Feel free to add me!! I'm looking for supporters and cheerleaders alike too!

True dat. But I could definitely use more buddies to cheer me on! xP

Sending a friend request! I need more buddies too! ^.^

extremely different person now, wow! :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much :flowerforyou: Yeah I was super confused and I didn't see anything like this posted so I asked because I'm new to the whole weightloss game (then got all chewed out by another member for bumping my own post hahahaha) I really appreciate everyone's responses! I'm less confused now and less of a newb :blushing:

ohhh, because when looking at the app on my phone it says over net calories for the week, that's where I got confused like, uh, do I just not eat my calories or should I run & lift weights for 5 hours? Hahaha

You don't need to be rude either.. Just ignore it or don't reply at all. And to everyone else, thank you SO much for your input! I was kinda freaking out a bit because I've never done diets or anything like that, and I hadn't seen anyone post anything similar to this issue I was having. Seriously I just didn't know if I…

Bump, I can't be the only one who has done this!!!

MTV actually did a documentary on Othorexia Nervosa, where they took two females and one male and filmed their eating habits. One was a raw foodist vegan who could not eat raw nuts or seeds locally, she had to have them all shipped from somewhere outside of the US. She purposefully distanced and separated her food from…

^^this There's a good video by Lustig about cane sugar, HFCS, and fruit sugar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

mike n ike's! you can have 23 candies for only 140 calories! not too bad since they're chewy and take a while to eat! or beef jerky! a 1.5 oz portion of regular beef jerky is around 120-125 calories! lotsa protein!

Up-beat and hardcore music! Sometimes I imagine people cheering me on in an official race, or pretend I'm a kid again and my Mother is yelling at me to get my @$$ home fast! :laugh:

wow! it is unreal! Your tattoos even look better! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

Such a powerful and positive post! I really admire your attitude and I agree! Weightloss is not a race or competition against anyone else. :flowerforyou:

While I am a strong advocate of balance, in training and in life, my opinion is: As long as you're exercising and you love whatever activity you do, then do it. Running, swimming, lifting weights, NO exercise routine is perfect or better than the other. Whether you're a "cardio bunny" or a "buffy the weight lifting…

My recent NSV is seeing the difference in my face!! Wow!

I love to mash a bit of avocado in my sandwiches! Turkey, spinach, avocado, pepper, mustard. So bomb!

Thanks everyone for your advice and two cents! I think I'll stick with the calorie surplus for the rest of September and see where I'm at, scale and measurement wise, in October! Really appreciate y'alls responses :-)

No disrespect taken, in fact: The point I'm making is that, 1) Before the increase of calories AND activity, I was losing .5-1 lb a week, no problem, on 1350 calories. 2) My hope, or rather the idea was, with the increase of activity, I would have enough nutrition to keep pushing myself in swim practice and the workouts 4x…

Oh so plenty! You have Pea protein, brown rice protein, soy proteins, wheat proteins! I personally recommend a brand called VEGA, you can get it at any health foods store. It is a blend of pea, brown rice, quinoa, and other proteins that EXCLUDE DAIRY, WHEAT, AND SOY. More importantly, it is a COMPLETE protein, perfect for…

Eggs, fish, cottage cheese, chicken, quinoa! Some of my favorite sources of protein! (because beans hurt my digestives! >.<)

Great read!

great work! you have a beautiful figure! ps, you look muuuuch better without the lip piercing :-)

^^THIS!!! ahhhh, still love Lolo regardless of 4th place!

Hi Tony, thanks for your help and contribution to science, health, and fitness! My question is: -How many grams of sugar (both fructose and sucrose) do you recommend daily for men and women? I've read a lot and have seen Dr. Lustwig's convincing video statements on this topic and he recommends no more than 25g for males,…

Sugary cereal! >.< Sooo hard to resist Coco Dino Bites, or Cap'n Crunch! u___u But this Kashi stuff ain't too bad. 13g protein, only 5g of sugar. I can eat like an adult child in the mornings! Hahaha
