Eat like the person you want to be. This is helping me so much. See Future Me rocks around in gym leggings all the time, is proud of her body and the work that has got her there. Future Me smashes her workouts and pushes herself. Future Me enjoys eating in moderation, counting her calories, fueling her workouts because…

Wild Is The Wind Sleep well sir.

50 cals, lasts a good long time (as long as you don't crunch it!), feels 'naughty' if that is where your head space is. Sometimes if you want sweets have sweets - if you do CICO then a lolly is less that a lot of the solutions on this thread. :)

Ack - you know some people don't know what they believe isn't scientifically accurate. They genuinely believe that stuff - mainly it's because it's what does get peddled on Dr Oz, women's mags, lunchroom banter etc. Most people when they arrive here aren't as clued up as they should be but they don't know that. They…

Yep me too with the depression related eating nonsense and insane binges. What's changed for me lately though (particularly the last 2 month binge period I've just come out of) is that because I have logged off and on through MFP for a while now I am much more aware of what I'm doing. I mean I would massively overeat…

Lancashire, UK - hit me up British peeps!

All the things - coming out and being queer has been nothing but joy for me. I was a late bloomer - 29 - and grabbed it with both hands, ran around and squealed like a pig. Main one - can have as much filthy donkey sex as you want with no chance of getting knocked up. BOOM!

Way to go you! Great work :)

Oh yeah. So true. Ride it out. You KNOW you didn't eat an extra 11,000 calories yesterday so you KNOW that the weight is just water and is temporary :)

Awesome sauce lady! Well done!

I went to a 2 Michelin starred restaurant - L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon and had beef cheeks with mashed potato. Now I don't know what wizardry went on in the kitchen but I have NEVER tasted anything like it - who knew potatoes could taste like that? When people say show stopping I never really knew what they meant until…

Yo Laura add me - 45 and live in Lancashire with about 2 stone to lose as well

Hi Start out with compound lifts - as others have said Stronglifts 5x5, Starting Strength, NROLW - there are loads of them around. There's lots of evidence that this is the most efficient thing to do as a noob lifter (sure someone could come and slam all the linkees in if you need that evidence). There is a FAB women's 5x5…

Dude, you're the MAN! Way to go!

Way to go - you look fabulous :)

I kinda do this. I eat a HUGE pile of veg with my dinner but I log it. If you want a high volume of food then veg is a great option but it's not calorie free. Nothing is.

Have fun everyone x

Meal planning will be your biggest money saver. I don't know if there is a US equivalent (I'm sure there will be) - in the UK this forum http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=33 is an AMAZING resource. As others have said you sacrifice convenience for whole foods cooked properly with very little waste. You…

Dude, you deserve 31 pages and more of congratulations - nothing but respect for you. You're a star and an amazing example to your daughters x Long may your journey continue XX

Big corset fan here. There is SO much misinformation about corsets and waist training. Not helped by the current fad promoted by Kim Kard etc. What do you mean by does corset training work? It all depends on what your goals are. If you want to reduce your overall body size then diet and exercise If you want to temporarily…

I'm 5'3, 45 and my CW is 179. My goal weight is 140 with a big BUT/T - I'm weight training so I'm more concerned with how tight, hard, compact I can get. Fingers crossed Also ANANDAC371 - could you edit your pic as it is crazy big. Cheers

Amazeballs - well done!

Under 50 cals for a little pop of ice cream. Scratches an itch when you don't have many cals to play with

Eyes THIS big, smile THIS wide, fingers crossed THIS hard that I make it into Ravenclaw.

You know that person? That person who asks for advice so you point them at the calculators and you discuss nutrition and macros and recipes and your jaw aches but you think just once.....just once they might actually listen. But no, they throw their hands up when the calculator says 1500 cals not the fabled 1200 cals and…

16 days into No Smoking if I didn't chew gum I would be rampaging through the kitchen cupboards. At the moment I am non stop chewing gum and if I end up with a gum habit - meh. I'm finding it is curbing my cigarette AND snack cravings. Bring on the gum - I can cope with mid afternoon wind :p
