I'm really thinking about doing Atkins or another low carb plan as my weakness is carbs! I feel like I would be much better off reducing them a lot for weight loss. At the moment they are basically all I eat - eating low carb will most likely give me more variety!

I have stretched lobes (4g, 0g is my goal) and am doing it purely for all the gorgeous jewelry I will be able to wear! I have quite a few piercings but recently took out my belly button one as it was pushing itself out (which is common with surface piercings). I love them all, but I have seen some stretched lobes which…

Mine is around 47, even since I stopped doing cardio workouts... Guess it's just genetic?

Interested to know this too...

I'm from the UK, and I have no idea what you are talking about! :P Can anyone enlighten me? Do girl scouts go around selling them to raise money for their club?

Hmm, MFP have only given me 1270 calories when I have set my goal to 0.5lbs :( would setting my calories to 1320, and eating back some exercise calories still help me lose weight? I have been at this weight for a couple of weeks now so I'm guessing something needs to change. I just want to lose the weight I have gained…

Thanks for the advice everyone. So I should up my calories as I only have 8 more lbs to lose? My BMR is 1200ish, but set at losing 0.5lbs a week my intake has gone from 1200 to 1270. Should I increase my calories but exercise more the closer I get to my goal?

Yeah, only about 8 more pounds. Why is 1200 going to fail? *confused* Thanks for the reply :)

Would a cheat day still help you lose weight if you are a healthy weight?

A whole packet of Jammy Dodgers. A giant bag of Doritos... A whole bar of chocolate.

I'm not sure if my medication affects weight gain OR appetite, or both, but I do find that after taking it I am DESPERATE for food, especially carbs... This has been a noted side effect, it's a bit annoying because it means I have to control myself even more to not give in. It seems most anti-D's have a weight gain side…

Ladies fussing over makeup, hair, etc. I wear makeup if I'm already wearing it but I wouldn't go in with lipstick, tons of foundation, and fake eyelashes! Women walking at a snails pace on the treadmills and having conversations. The gym is for exercising, not socializing! People not wiping their sweat off... I sound…

If you have a cheat day to boost metabolism / confuse your body, how many calories is it over your normal deficit amount? I am thinking of making a fasting day a regular thing which works on the same principle of making your calories drastically different to confuse your body and won't slow your metabolism if it's just one…

Fitting into my favorite pair of jeans again!

How do you do it? What's the diet / exercise plan? :)
