I eat. Find a healthy comfort food for you, within your diet plan. Sometimes stressing about eating those particular foods cause more stress. Instead, find a variation of it. If you like bacon, try getting the least fattening bacon out there (most likely turkey bacon). Instead of eating a whole strip, eat half; just get…

No duh

It does work. Well for me at least. Your body learns how to adapt so if you keep doing the same thing over and over, it will get used to that and the workouts won't be as effective as before. A sudden shock to the system will keep it doing what it needs to do. It's like driving. If you keep the same speed throughout your…

Actually, you're going to need to burn more fat. The belly fat is the last fat to go. Focus on your back and legs first (since that's the major carrier of fat) and eventually the body will wind up attacking your belly fat. Once you loose more fat, you can do core exercises that will tone your abs furthermore. We all have…

Thank you That'll be a great day :smile: Thank you I will :happy:

I think its best if you weigh in on Monday. People tend to break their diets on the weekends so it will give them a reason to want to stay with the plan

You are most likely to do what you need to do if you know your friend will be able to see your progress. So in the long run, you might not need someone to hold you accountable because you will feel pressured to do it. It's a twisted way of wanting to be accepted; but it works, and that is why we are a community.

That'll do the trick :laugh:

You could be paranoid. I feel that way as well but I know I'm paranoid. The only time it seems okay to be obese is if your funny as well

Cheating the system properly :happy: You can try to make yourself a healthy snack. If you bake the stuff yourself, you know exactly what goes in there so you can learn how to bake something to your dietary needs. Some of the stuff you mention can be healthy foods if you tweak them the right way. That or chew gum. Gum seems…

Body fat calculations aren't that accurate online. They are more of a guideline of how your body would be based on your current weight, size and age. I would suggest upping your calories the days you do work out. 1,200 is like an average caloric intake for a sedentary person, so if you are active, increase your calories.…

Oscar fever!

I hit triple digits for my protein intake today. I almost hit my goal but I just couldn't eat anymore. Protein is very filling, I'm considering on buying some powder so I can mix it with recipes and shakes. Just to make it easier to add more protein without having to eat so much. (not that I mind eating but since I woke up…

This is actually some good advice. Some days I don't feel like working out and I decide to work out anyway and I feel so much better afterwards. But if this is more of a psychological issue, you might want to talk about it with someone (perhaps a friend who knows you well enough to give you good advice). Sometime we lose…

Thanks! 15? I'm sure you'll drop that in no time. Ooh, clothes. :bigsmile: It's going to be the first time since I started loosing weight. I didn't want to buy anything till I hit an acceptable weight. So instead, I bought a belt to hold up all my saggy jeans. Can't wait to donate them and buy something more fitting. I…

Thanks! I'm sure if you flirt long enough normal will put out :laugh: All jokes aside, congratulations. I sure hope so

Thanks! Congrats to you as well! Cheers! I hope they're ready for us :wink:

The end of the year holidays are the worst! Especially since they are practically back to back to back to back. Well, you got back on track and that's worth celebrating :drinker:

A bit, yea! It's no Hogwarts but, it is up there. :laugh: Thanks! :happy:

Thanks! Good, when I posted this I thought I was going crazy!

Thank you :blushing:

Well maybe you need to be in the "overweight" category of the BMI do to health issues. Normal is just a label, as long as you're healthy, that's all that matters Well, if you get to the weight she said and feel like you could reach normal, more power to you! Good luck!

:laugh: Thanks

Thank you very much :smile:

Congratulations! Thank you!

Thank you :smile: I'm glad my post was useful :glasses: :flowerforyou:

Thank you :happy: Ten pounds? You'll knock 'em out like a champ :wink:

:bigsmile: I forgot about shopping! I'd bet that was an incredible feeling. Did you look over to where you used to shop I thought "Not anymore :devil: "? I think I'm going to do that...Knowing me I'd probably say it out loud instead and people would look at me weird. :indifferent: Well good luck on your journey :drinker:
