OMGosh!!! I so did not mean it that way lmao. I meant it in the form of me not being so creative with creating your "fake" name that ended up being real. Definitely a foot in mouth thing I did there. Sorry! ^Crystal

@nikinyx6- Nicole LOL not very creative.

You know, I would probably eat McDonalds on my days off, but I don't think it should be considered apart of any of the food groups, or anyone's "diet". Spoil yourself with it once in a while? Sure! That wouldn't be a huge deal. The different tastes come from all sort of things, for all you know, the burgers in the other…

I'm from Michigan, but live in Iowa.

Lean on the people you have on your friends list, and get a support system. I wouldn't rely on the forum to help your motivation. In fact the only motivation I get from the forums, is wanting to seriously punch someone in the face. Lots of a-holes here. And i'm not being mean, just being honest! :happy: Minus sidesteal,…

Once again thank you to all those with helpful advice! We seriously need a middle finger smiley! I would definitely use it for some people on here.

You must not have read all my replies then, I was asking the difference between macros and micros. I understand that 1200 calories may be healthy for some women, but after trying it for roughly 30 days, It just was not working. It made so sense to starve myself all day every day, and wake up with absolutely no energy to do…

I'm lactose....so I'd rather have some nutella or something ;)

Thanks everyone! I will be trying out the 40 30 30, maybe it will work, maybe not....but worth trying! I appreciate the help!

Thank you LorinaLynn! That helps a ton!!

I'm a woman, I make everything complicated :happy:

My doctor didn't give me anything. He checked my thyroid even though I know my weight issues were brought on by my own doing. He also checked my cholesterol, checked me for diabetes, routine physical, and I mentioned doing insanity, and he ran a stress test to make sure my heart wouldn't give me issues. I'm young, I will…

I have had the same issue here in a past post.....I had gotten bashed pretty heavily for being honest. It doesn't bother me though, it's who I am and I'm not changing for people I don't know :wink: I also always hear about confidence behind a computer screen....but yet, I am the same person when face to face. But that's an…

I know the 1200 calories a day just were not cutting it for me. I would eat 1200 calories and then turn around and burn between 700-800 calories doing insanity, which left me with a very, very small net intake, and very hungry the next day. It wasn't until I learned about TDEE that I increased my calories, and now I'm…

I haven't been around long enough....but the cowboy is pretty hot :blushing: Yes, curiosity got the best of me.... Now I guess I may have got the TDEE BMR thing messed up. I have read the thread road maps, but I didn't understand a lot of it because I am so new to this, and really never even knew that there were "net…

I'm not angry, just frustrated. It is so hard to read stuff online and understand the true emotions behind it. Meerkat- I have posted a question about my net calories, eating back exercise calories(answered on someone elses thread), and I think one other question got unanswered. I am fairly new to the whole "forum" thing,…

I totally left out my question didn't I? Sorry, I'm running off of mommy brain today. I don't understand my Micro and Macros. I sort of know what they are, but as far as judging how much I should eat compared to how many calories I take in every day is just confusing. I know my TDEE and my BMR, but don't know if the…

First off, You are a very beautiful person! And brave for posting your before picture, something I have not even done. I applaud you! I would like to wish you the best of luck reaching your goals, and even if you slip up, there is always a chance to start all over again.

I have to go with the Ex thing too! I would hate to wake up and find him in the house, however....I don't think anyone would get past the front door with my Saint Bernard :) Besides the ex...I think I would have to say a fire or some other type of natural disaster.

My fiancee` has them, he is also 6'0 tall. He got his not from being over weight though, but from growing a few inches all at once back in high school. I also have a TON of tiger stripes! I got mine for giving birth to 5 beautiful and amazing children! Be proud of your stripes! Their apart of you!

It is delicious and I think also FAR from healthy and nutritious lol I have a jar in the kitchen that I have been trying to desperately stay away from. I have been feeding it to my fiancee` and my kids just to get rid of it, and it also gives me a chance to lick the spoon :)

I was reading through this even though I and my children do not eat pop tarts anymore. I agree with the other poster who said that they rather have the whole animal used when foods are processed. However, The gelatin does not just come from pigs. It can come from horses, and other hoofed animals too, which being an avid…

I didn't read through all of the replies from the other posters, but I did want to chime in with my opinion. Most people fail to lose weight and keep it off because they are "dieting". If we are able to put the "dieting" mindset aside, and look at it as a lifestyle change, it begins to be much different. You can't expect…

Looking good! Keep up the good work!!

9.5 That was supposed to be for nikkibebe08 but you beat me to it, as you already rated me lol

^ 9 :)

Your calories seem a bit low. I'm taking in between 1500-1800 calories. Have you tried to just slightly increase your calories over time...like 250 every 2 weeks until your out of the plateau? ETA- I'm no expert, as I'm still very new and still learning as well. But this is what I have read that has helped a lot of people…
