After 20 lbs, people started noticing.

I have a very high histamine count and find soy does not work for me. Many protein powders make me react too. Of course so does beer, but come on now. Let's not get crazy! For some reason the canned items are raising a flag with me too. Turkey has been the greatest protein for me :) Good luck!

This thread is crazy. Est more. I am 5'9" and eat about 1800 per day. Have been losing 1.5 lbs per week. I work out 5-6 times a week, but always have. I am a fit fat girl en route to just being fit (and less fat).

As long as he's not all bulky and masculine looking. Because that would be gross.

Not quite as fun as when I pictured you spooning it into your mouth, but still sounds delicious.

Did you really eat bacon grease for dinner?

Just a different angle, his back was arched off the bench.

My marathon running coworker won't lift weights because they make her slower. I've told her she can put them down before running, but no avail.

Haha! I love you all!

I have to take a fiber supplement and ensure I eat enough fats... because I like it better when I poop every day.

I'm totally creeping on all your husbands.

Sodium will only be an issue if you are eating processed foods. Sandwich meat is a killer. Cottage cheese (unless you get no salt). Sauces and dressings. Mrs Dash is a great seasoning replacement. Cook your own meats. Don't eat anything out of a can.

I am currently 6lbs lighter than I was on Friday morning..... TOM started Saturday. I have to weigh myself every day otherwise I would lose my mind with these fluctuations. Edit to add: plus I started a new heavy lift cycle last Wednesday and that always keeps my weight up for 3-4 days then I get a big whoosh.

Blah blah. Wish I saw this yesterday, I would have told you to carb up heavy and eat tons of sodium so you'd retain more water. Forget all these people.... They're very uptight. Red wine 24-48 hrs before a final weigh in will help drop water weight. The best thing you can do that is actually healthy is severely increase…

Focus on your front leg. I find thinking about pushing off of my heel really helps.

I freaking love your stomach! Wear the two piece for sure!

This is gonna be harsh, but your food selections are terrible. I'm not even going to start arguing about the fact that 1200 calories is way too low, because you need to work on eating better food first. I eat more protein in a morning snack than you eat all day.

I think they taste more like peas than cabbage. Roasting them gives a very different flavour though.

Your food diary only goes back 3 days so I'm not sure how long you have been sustaining this, but if you think 1.5 meals a day is sustainable, I think you have real food issues. That is not a healthy way to live and certainly does not match up with what you have said your goals are.

Yes! This sounds weird, but it works. Get a capful of hydrogen peroxide (the kind you use to clean wounds, etc) and some q tips. Lay down on your back with a towel underneath you. "fill" your belly button with the peroxide and let it sit for 15-20 seconds. Use the q tips to clean out the gunk in there. (Ew, it's gross) Do…

So anyone who knows anything about powerlifting agrees this is amazing, and people who are clueless think she has bad form. So pretty much amazing!

I mix Greek yogurt with no-salt added cottage cheese. Sometimes I'll add protein powder if I want more protein, or granola if I have the calories to spare (or if I'm extra hungry), but I'll almost always add some ground flax seed. No salt cottage cheese has pretty much ZERO flavour, but I love it added to Greek yogurt…

I'm 5'9" and from Canada.

Bodypump is great to learn about weightlifting. If you have never lifted before or don't have the opportunity to hire a trainer, I definitely recommend it. Combat is a super fun cardio class. You can do both in a row if you want but that is over 2 hours of working out. I'd suggest alternating them throughout the week to…

Please men DO NOT SHAVE YOUR CHEST!! Wax/lasered is totally fine... but there is nothing more awful than a prickly chest rubbing up all over you.

Best. Ever.

Men don't comment. Even a guy I had dated at my heaviest just saw me again (naked) recently and when I mentioned I had lost some weight he had no idea. Maybe because he had found the amount I removed? People generally just say I look good more often now. My mom noticed at like 10 lbs, my closest friend said something at 15…

Wow... where are you guys from? I am from Canada and easily spend at least $250/mth on groceries.
