so what some of you are saying is that OP is definitely wrong, everyone gains and loses in exactly the same way, and literally nobody has ever gained any muscle while in calorie deficit. good to know.

I skipped my workout this morning because my shoulder and neck hurt pretty bad. I think I slept weird, not sure. Anyway, I was beating myself up about it earlier but then I told myself that I'm just going to make sure I stick to my healthy foods today and I'll go for a walk at lunch. If I can tell myself tonight that I had…

an apple with a handful of almonds

muscles burn more calories than fat when you're not even doing anything. you'll lose weight a little faster because of that. plus it'll help prevent flab from weight loss.

i make a 'smoothie in a bowl'. i put together 1 cup of plain whole milk yogurt, 1/4 cup rolled oats (i heat these up firs thing and let them cool off before I put them in the yogurt), 3/4-1 cup of berries, and 1 scoop of whey. It's super filling, checks all the important boxes, and keeps me satisfied until lunchtime.

bumping for reference :)

I sent you a friend request. I also have a hard time staying away from carbs. Bread and sugar are my frenemies. :smile:

THIS!!! Figure out when your lightest time of the month is, and then weigh every 4 weeks (or however your cycle works) at the same time of day.

that is the creepiest thing I have seen all day.

for real.

Last night was intense!! I turned my head away right when The Mountain popped Oberyn's head like a water balloon. I couldn't look. I loved the episode as a whole. They always go waaay too fast. And seriously, can Sansa and Arya please meet up?? Can we please have a Stark reunion soon?? Cuz it's killing me! If The Hound &…

As a side note, one of my bosses at work that I don't see very often suddenly started losing a ton of weight and I never said anything because I wasn;t sure if he was doing it on purpose or if he was sick. Turned out it was all good but it was so drastic for a while that I wasn't sure and wasn't comfortable enough with him…

Well I am super impressed by your success so bravo!!! I struggle so much that whenever I read a success story like yours all I can think is "I am not worthy!!" Congrats girl :-)

I make my own at home in the morning, and take it to work in an insulated thermos. That way I have it exactly the way I like it every day :-)

This got me thinking for a minute. My favorites are summer or winter squashes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, etc. Roasted or grilled.

If you're putting sugar or sweetener in it, it might be messing you up a bit. But the most black coffee will do is to very slightly increase your metabolism for a short time.

I love this thread. There are a lot of good ideas on here and it's always nice to know you're not the only one going through something hard.

...and this. I've learned this lesson with my son as well. Taking things away and making everything into a fight made him more spiteful and he would fight right back.

This is something that I'm learning to do with my 8th grader. He has similar issues but he's not failing. His grades have fluctuated between A's and D's since 5th grade. He's super unorganized and will not take any advice. He just nods and says okay, basically just tells me what I want to hear. He lies about his homework…

how should we handle this thread since we're already doing weigh ins in this group? any ideas?

1/13/14 - 164.0 That's down 3 lbs from a week ago! A big start for me :-)
