I need to lose over 100lbs. Feel free to ad me.

I'm not trying to be combative, but I am genuinely curious. If you "hate people" so much, why participate in an online community? You realize it's all people here, right?

This is what I have on my meditation card for today: "Tomorrow doesn't exist. The length of the journey doesn't matter because there is only today." You only have to maintain your goals for one day. Today. Eat right, exercise, do what you need to for your body TODAY only. If tomorrow happens, you only have to maintain your…

Ad Block FTW

I can help. I'm not a trainer, I'm just disabled. I'm actually working on creating a database of low-impact exercises that can be modified for lower-body disabled folk. Since you can MOVE your legs, there are still a lot of things you can do! Bicycles - Lay on the ground and spin your legs in the air like you're on a bike…

Is it safe to do Keto when trying to get pregnant? Assume a daily prenatal is taken.

Lose weight to get healthy, not get men. I met my attractive, average-weight husband when I weighed 360lbs. I was/am also partially disabled AND a single mother. Even before I met him I never had trouble getting dates. There ARE men who won't date a heavier woman, but that shouldn't stop you from finding love, feeling…

Granted, but the entire time you can't change your underwear. I wish I had a cheese sandwich.

Granted, but each additional wish will result in the gruesome death of someone you hold dear.

The rotisserie chicken isn't a bad idea. I'll miss the skin, but if I throw it on the salad maybe I won't miss it so much.

I love Publix fried chicken. For 700 calories I might get to eat one breast. Maybe.

700 feels light to me. I prefer to have the bulk of my calories in the evening because it helps me sleep. I am leaving a little off the top so I can have a slice of the banananananana bread I'm making for my coworkers.

I'm down with the bacon! It's not very filling for the amount of calories it costs, which is why I tend to avoid it.

Neither, really. I just lie there and...not sleep. I haven't had insomnia since I had a kid. I can usually fall asleep within 5 minutes of going to bed...but now I can't. I lie there and wait and wait for my body do what it's supposed to do and it just...doesn't happen.

Not possible. My weight sessions are so hard that I sometimes I can't lift my arm high enough to lift my keys off the key rack and I have to brace myself against the wall and really FOCUS just to pull it off. Then my hands and legs are shaking and I feel a little faint....but then I get home, take a bath, eat something if…

Dear lord, you're a slender, pretty woman. The world is your oyster! Just get back out there. There is no reason to mope about over a guy who probably didn't have much potential anyway. I am sure there are loads of men who would love to take you out. Enjoy it while ya got it!

Unless you ate 21,000 calories over maintenance in an hour, you didn't gain 6lbs. However, if you ate at Hardees, I suppose that's possible.

I prefer my quick meals deity-free, but to each their own, I guess.

Could you be any cuter?! Omg! You're adorable!

I am having the same problem too, and I am using it through the website.

I tried a 1200 calorie diet. I was irritable. I was hungry. I was tired. My workout suffered. My concentration was terrible. All I thought about was my next meal. I binged. But! I lost weight! I started eating the 1700 MFP recommends, PLUS workout calories. I am happy. I'm not hungry. My workouts are better than ever. My…

Good to know! I feel .5% more badass now.

SWEET! I am going to go flex my fat rolls in front of a mirror now. Woo!

I have had these kinds of meltdowns...and it has ALWAYS been because I wasn't eating enough to be satisfied. Enough calories, enough protein, enough SOMETHING. If you're not satisfied and happy, it's time to take look at what you're eating and figure out what can change. Food restriction shouldn't make you miserable. If it…

Unless you're 6months out, this may not be the best time to focus on weight loss. You are the primary source for nutrition for your little ones. I lost 30lbs without trying when I was breastfeeding only one. I didn't count ANY calories then and I ate all the time. Of course, if you're BF'ing twins I don't even know how you…

As for lifting weights, check out the book "The New Rules for Lifting for Women" I recommend lifting weights not just for how it will make you look, although it WILL give you the figure you want. I recommend it for how it will make you feel. I've only lost 40lbs but I am SMALLER now than when I weighed LESS. I feel so much…

My sister was veg for many years and recently started incorporating meat. She still can't eat pork without feeling sick, but she can eat other things. First, take it slow. The bacteria in your gut that helps break down meat will be in low supply so if you had a meat binge you would hate life for DAYS afterwards. Start with…

"It's virtually impossible – no matter what you eat – to gain any fat in the post-workout period, which is roughly defined as the hour-long timeframe after you finish lifting weights. " Is THIS part true?

I got a personal trainer 6 months ago. There is NOTHING about it that is a "quick" fix. He teaches me exercises I would have never tried on my own. He pushes me harder than I would push myself. He spots me so I can push MYSELF harder than I could otherwise. Having a trainer helps me a lot and I plan on keeping him around…
