Okay, FYI, if you don't eat enough, it'll slow down your metabolism. Eating at a deficit doesn't ALWAYS lead to weight loss. This is just from my research and experience. Calculate your TDEE for yourself. Don't rely on the generalization MFP gives you. I also got a Fitbit so I can calculate exactly how much I burn during…

This is awesome! I recently just had a long discussion with a friend about this, cause I had no idea what was going on. This is a great help!

Had mine since beginning of January. Not giving it up. I'm good :D

Personally, I worry that y'all aren't eating enough! Please look up TDEE and BMR. The BMR is the MINIMUM amount of calories you should eat if, say, you were in a coma (in order to keep your body alive!). If you don't eat ENOUGH, your metabolism slows to a crawl. I just upped my calories last month, and while I haven't…

It's only been two weeks, honey. I've been at this for 9 weeks straight, and I haven't lost ANY pounds. I only JUST lost three quarters of an inch in my stomach this past month. Don't quit because you don't see the results. I will say I FEEL great. I LOVE the feeling after I run. I love the feeling after eating clean for…

No one does it cause it's easy. It's a challenge. Period. I just got done traveling for work and ran for the first time since Saturday. To be honest, I've never felt worse. But I DO NOT regret one second of my workout. I'm proud I did it and know I'll try harder next time. I don't think anyone ever regrets doing a workout.…

Personally, I say stop looking at the number on the scale. Just start toning/lifting weights and see how you feel. Especially at 9% body fat. P.S. Congratulations on your awesomeness :D

Bump for later

You are absolutely amazing. I'm so excited for you and what you accomplished. We can seriously learn to stop staring at the scale and stressing over the numbers. Thanks for the awesome reminder!

@Quelly, tall, dark and handsome...possibly with some good dance moves...

I'm double jointed in my right pinky toe

OMG- bump!!!!!!!!!!!

Shoulders!!!!!!!!!!! Shoulders, shoulders, shoulders. (purrrrrrs). Dark hair...dark eyes...and If you have a great smile, I'm gonna melt like butter. But I've seen guys like those and been turned off if they're an *kitten*. So, if you can make me laugh, have confidence, and are genuinely a nice guy, I'll get down on one…

You look amazing! Thank you for posting this. It's good to remember not to put too much into the scale. You've rocked my socks today. Thanks!

You CANNOT let something like this derail you. It's a couple pounds. It's not a hundred. Your body is giong to gain some water retention from days to even weeks after adding resistance/weight training. You are breaking down your muscles, and in an effort for them to repair themselves, they'll add on water to aid in the…

I do a cheat meal. That way, If I want, I can stay within my range and not ruin the whole day. I don't wanna do a whole day because I feel like I'm not making progress.

Crazy b*itch- Buckcherry Till I collapse- Eminem Falling Away- Korn My Way- Limp Bizkit Beat and the Harlot, Critical Acclaim- Avenged Sevenfold

Thank you so much. I wish I had this when I started- got so upset when I gained. Kept pushing through and this reminder helps a lot :D

OMG you look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!

Slowly lower your intake. The less you drink it, the less you want it. I haven't had a soda in 3 weeks. I still don't want tone. :D

A friend of mine said it best: "I like tattoos. They're designed for tracing."

SHeldon: "I'M Batman!!!......Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"

I understand, girly! We can do it together. I'm all about support, so if ya wanna add me, I'm here :smile:

Can I get an AMEN!!???!!!

YOU. ARE. AMAZING! That is all..........

Officially my favorite thread! I'm currently lifting heavy. But about to step it up a notch. Can't wait to put my before/after pics on a thread like this!

10!!!

8.5 :D

Personally-I say always remember to take baby steps. Some people stop sugar, carbs, salt, everything cold turkey- and then they quit a few weeks in. I'm not a weight-loss genius, but I've lost 21 pounds since july and kept it off. So, here's what I do- 1) Everything in moderation. You can have your favorites, but only once…

Yesterday was "I'm so tired" by Fugazi. Today..."My Way" by Limp Bizkit. I got a lot of stuff and worked out like a beast today :D
