I frequently bring this up with my FTM husband. I am femme on the outside, but a closet tomboy. I was raised in a way that ingrained a sort of ladylikeness about me, even encouraged to go into a highly feminine field of work, so I constantly feel like I am acting all day, not to mention I dread putting on makeup for work.…

I'm femme married to FTM, also US based, but hey, anyway. :)

Also a former WW user. For a time, I actually logged both WW and MFP, but transitioned to MFP because my vivofit HRM links and I am a meticulous measurer, so my calorie in/calories out is pretty accurate. After I got the hang of MFP, I felt it was way easier, more convenient and even strangely healthier. WW pushes a lot of…

My September goals: I do pretty much all of this now, but I'd like to keep the consistency. 100% food journaling. 100% food journaling honesty. 3-5 mile daily run 5x a week Spin 2x a week Strength 1x per week (at least) yoga, Pilates, PiYo, or body pump Lastly, my goal is to try a new class, like Body Pump. I'm terrified…

I really don't mind most if the time, but getting mistaken for being much younger then I am. I'm 39, but people are often shocked and assume I'm somewhere between 24-28. I'm in a business where my 20 years of experience is often mentioned and it confuses people.

I'm reasonably clean, and looking for others who can inspire me to be more clean, too! Open diary, add away!

No. No. No. One, a pound of feathers and a pound of sand weight the exact same. A pound. A pound of muscle is more dense than a pound of fat on the other hand, so have someone at your gym measure your body fat. Second, drinking plenty of water will not make you retain water, actually opposite, it will help your body shed…

Full fat Greek yogurt is also bomb. While I can't/don't sit down and eat a bowlful (it's very rich), a dollop of it on top of something like my mom's homemade ratatouille is practically a religious experience.

Stats=current height/weight I can tell you being smaller, and you look smaller in you pic, can make losing slow going. absolutely have someone regularly measure your body fat. I dropped several percent over a year when I only lost seven pounds over that same time period which can be frustrating for sure. Edited-I just…

I think some of us are just trying to actually help you, but you might not like the brand of help. You said you haven't lost any weight in two months of following plan, I asked why your tracker said you've lost 33 pounds. You said you never eat fast food, your diary, when open had mcdonalds, Dunkin donuts, Starbucks, five…

Bump. Curious about fitbit results later. Edited, would like a little more info- Your profile says you've lost 33 pounds. Also, you live in the US, and logged some Canadian entries, which definitely had caloric differences, so I'm wondering if you are doing accurate research before logging prepared menu items.

San Francisco femme! Super clean (but non judgmental) eater and open diary. ;) welcome new friends!
-
Love this! I just invited a group over to carve pumpkins this weekend. :)

I suppose that's something to think about, for sure. I think a lot of friendships are built on socially eating and drinking, but admittedly that's two of my favorite hobbies. I guess it's better to show up and leave early than not go at all, so I've been trying that. Also, I need to evaluate the fact that some of my…

Do you belong to Pinterest? I have found in my clean recipe searches there, there is a gold mine of clean kids meals and snack recipes. Actually, yesterday at the market, a woman behind me asked if she could read the label of my husband's Annie's organic Mac n cheese, (I can't fully convert him, but he's getting there).…

My husband actually requested quinoa cooked in broth as the side dish with dinner tonight. My side dish repertoire becomes awesome in the fall: Brussels roasted with clean bacon-husband loves Or without bacon, roast Brussels with onions, garlic, carrots, broccoli, whatever and a light balsamic drizzle-husband taught me!…

A year ago I likely would have been one to agree that candida is a made up excuse. I would probably still agree if the ONLY symptoms were 'difficulty' losing weight. However, I'm starting to wonder myself. I've had much success with MFP, bodybugg, yoga, spin, weight training and literally working my *kitten* off. In…

I have/had a friend with different political views than myself, who've I've know about 20 years. We were fine for years, but as we've aged, she's became more engrossed in her beliefs, which unfortunately could come across as insulting to my beliefs, lifestyle and relationships. While I cannot imagine she was being…

I love the full spectrum of answers. I'm a saver, too, but actually using the prize money for a real prize is what my spouse thinks I should do. Another thought I has was to rent a house on the beach for my birthday. Adding ink, kettle bells and spa to my possibilities.

The following are always in stock in my house: dried seaweed pistachios in the shell (I buy the huge bag at costco and make 1/2c baggies to grab) air popcorn with nutritional yeast Castelvetrano olives with pits in them

and for the love of all things holy, if you leave a sweat puddle on it, wipe it off!

I have to agree with this, and hard as it may seem to let go of, it happens to everyone in some form or another. There isn't just food police, there's gender police, sexual orientation police, skin color police, nationality police, accent police, career police, income police and as someone mentioned, grammar police,…

And before you run around calling other people hamsters, you should reevaluate the 80 minutes you spend per day on an elliptical and treadmill. Pot, meet kettle.
-
If you are referring to my response by calling me a hamster, you can GFO and I don't care if you like me. I go at level 10 (sweating, beet red, not wasting my time or giving a damn what the guy next to me is burning) if I'm lifting, working with my trainer, or I'm injured and working through it on a "hamster wheel". How…
-
Second this. I work out at a personal 10 unless I'm sick or injured and even then, go big, or go home. And don't worry about what other people burn. P.S. I was already dying on the elliptical today (I'm working through a knee prob, otherwise I'd be running) and my trainer walked by and cranked my resistance up and kept me…

I keep several bars of dark chocolate in my freezer at (almost) all times. Ran out tonight. :sad: Some days I eat half a bar, other days I only get the last little nub.

As you get closer to goal, expect your loss to slow down. It took me 8 months to get from 152 to 149, while my body fat has continued to reduce. Be sure to take measurements instead of scale hop frequently. Write the results down. I now only weigh/measure once a month now to preserve my sanity. If you aren't already, add…

I was just at Anthropologie in University Square Seattle last Thursday on a business trip and bought an AMAZING dress for $20. I cannot believe it was so inexpensive. The girl at the register said they just marked down a ton a stuff to make room for spring. Now is the best time to scoop up fall/winter on sale.

Every time I see this type of post, I get really curious as to what the OP is eating. Check the major grocer ads, google whats in season in your area, buy in bulk. If it's that extreme, look into a food bank or church food assistance, they often give bags of very healthy foods. There have been extreme times in my life…

I call my 20 lb tabby "Gigantor". Do you think I'm giving him a complex?
