Congratulations! You look amazing, indeed. Just curious: were you warned in advance that they would change some things, and did they ask for permission to do so?

This is interesting, because Runtastic gives me values that are higher than those of MFP. And both values are higher than what the Kinrct Playfit app and my HRM say. (I trust the HRM more than any other tool).

I'll just sit here and quote Ellyn Satter. "Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied. It is being able to choose food you like and eat it and truly get enough of it—not just stop eating because you think you should. Normal eating is being able to give some thought to your food selection…

Have you already told him that you are actually trying to lose weight and that you plan to do all those things you weren't able to do before? It might be a good idea to have his opinion on the subject. I do agree though that starting a relationship already planning to change the other person isn't a good thing. What is…

Add beans. I love it with red beans, kidney beans or a mix of any of those. It's also a very nutritios combination of carbs + proteins.

I don't have very good suggestions, but I can share my experience: I am a vegetarian and I hate cheese, while my partner is a meat eater who likes cheese a lot, but is allergic to garlic. This means that we are very accustomed at having completely different meals. Unless it's pizza, or pasta with veggies, or something like…

The benefits to my cardiovascular system and the stress relief aren't pointless. While it's true that, if I liked lifting, I would relieve stress with that, too, the first point isn't even subjective to my experience.

Great job! You look absolutely amazing and have a very pretty smile, by the way. :)

Ahah, same quote at the same time :)

"No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch" - found on the internet, not sure who said it first. OK, since this one was taken, here is another one: "If running is difficult, run more" - again, found randomly on the internet.

It's cheating and you are only cheating yourself. But, as long as you are aware it's just water weight and you are OK with it and with the fact that numbers will go up again, I guess it's fine.

This has been happening to me at work recently and I hate it.

"My suggestion is to eat real food, consume atleast your bmr, and slowly change your eating habits to a sustainable diet." THIS! You don't need herbalife, you just need clean, proper, good, healthy food.

I was slightly overweight, but on betablockers due to my high heart rate at rest. Walking up one set of stairs made me huff and puff and my hear was racing to the point I had palpitations. I took up running. I said bye-bye to the betablockers, shortness of breath and palpitations. My heart rate at rest is now in the normal…

One egg and some veggies. Or go out for a walk and then eat more. Chances are those 100 calories aren't accurate anyway, so any light dinner should do.

Most of weight loss comes from food: eat healthy and create a calories deficit to obtain weight loss. I would say this counts around 80% of your efforts (not an accurate figure, it's just to give you an idea of how important food is). Running is good as a tool to help weight loss, as much as any other kind of exercise.…

Hello! Nerd Fitness has an article that explains everything about push ups: how to properly do them, how to do begginners versions, and it even has a training plan to go from complete beginner to push ups pro. I found it very useful! Here it is: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/02/15/proper-push-up/ Hope it helps! :)

"I am angry with you and your cellulite-loaded *kitten*". Ex boyfriend. There is a reason he's an ex.

This. Overall, being able to see food as something that I enjoy and not just numbers and values (calories, nutritional info, etc). Being able to make informed choices so that I can eat ealthy and nurture my body, but enjoying it, because being healthy doesn't just involve the body - an healthy body with a distressed mind…

I would go for this. Plan lower calorie meals for the day before / after / for the rest of that day, so you have a larger calorie budget on Friday. Also, would you be able to increase your exercise around those days? This is pretty much the best way to cope without upsetting anybody.

OK, I know nothing of being a mum, so I can't really answer that question, but I see you are going to see your dr. and that is a very good thing: I believe that the more help you can get now before the binging becomes an habit again, the better. Especially since you will be a mother soon and you want your kid to be healthy…

I think this is a very good point, but also a bit problematic. On one hand, it's good to try to help, but it's true that it's a bit rude (ok, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's much more polite to keep negative ones for ourselves unless we were expressively asked to say something). The other thing is,…

Zucchini, saulted butter, cream (not sour), cherry tomato. It's absolutely amazing with pasta and cream. I used to love it before being a vegetarian.

I've done a veggie soup with mixed cereals, beans, peas, a little bit of gingerbread and chopped topinambur (just like potatoes). It was amazing. Definitely gonna do it again.

Congratulations for your weight loss and for deciding to take care of your health. Your progress so far is amazing. I am not sure I can give any sound advice, so I'll stick to a big digital hug and encouragement. Walking a lot combined with strenght training usually help with weight loss and toning. Also, you are young:…

While I don't think it's true (just wear the right bra, make sure that everything is held firmly in place and you will be fine), even if it were... who cares? Running lowered my heart rate enough to get me off the beta blockers. I don't have tachicardia and palpitations any more and I feel happy about myself, because of…

Wow, so the unfortunate name is actually the name of a person! Sorry for him...

Not only I dislike doing them, but I also think that they couldn't possibly find a worse name.

Frogs. Before going vegetarian. It's very common where I live, but I know it feels super weird in most parts of the World (and I perfectly understand why XD ).

OK. I'll take Sammy :) But also... The 9th Doctor Remus Lupin Dexter... OK maybe not Dexter
