Amazing! Keep us posted on your progress!

I eat several of these a week...sometimes a day...but the ones I get all say 100 calories. Either way, Fudge Brownie is my fav and with 5 g of protein, I can eat a few, feel indulged, and still be under my calorie goal most days

I find compound exercises good for that. Squat press with dumbbells so you are working both small and large muscles... Also, things like clean and press with bar bell. 30 Day shred may do it too. Because her sets are generally using weights and/or cardio with only a 30 sec rest between sets

Because when I was younger diet was never a factor for me, I had to learn this the hard way. I HAVE to watch my diet because I can out-eat almost any amount of exercise. I spend about five hours a week in the gym and I could easily go over my calories every day, even with healthier food choices.

If I go to the gym, I pretty much have to, and I go about 5 to 6 days a week. I sweat too much not to.

My brat stole my heating pad

Yup, what she said. But if you do wanna get to know one you only see at the gym, just start by being friendly and saying hi when you see her regularly.

Three main things... Weight droppers- every once in a while, dropping a bar bell full of plates happens, but repeatedly? Loud and obnoxious. People who sit on machines with their phones. And no, it doesn't take ten minutes to change a song on your playlist. Three- Men who make it a point to not move out of your way. Stand…

Okay, let's unpack this a bit. Is he asking you to "help" or contribute to the bills, or is he asking for a set amount for you to live in his apartment. To me, there is a difference. If he is saying, hey, I can't pay for this on my own (even if he promised he would, he may not have realized how expensive it is) that is…

Thanks, guys. You've given me a lot of good stuff to look into!

Yes! hahah! I am totally familiar with the "bend-over" test. One time I bent over at volleyball in my spandex leggings and I was told they were totally see through.... Now I always do the bed over test r stretch the fabric with my thumb some to see if I see skin first!!

omg yass! I see so many ppl sitting on machines on their phones. If I look at my phone on a machine, it's to go to the next song on my playlist. That's it!! lol

Men dropping weights at the gym...repeatedly. The "Who doesn't want another selfie thread" on MFP . ME! I* don't want another selfie thread! hahaha When my husband eats yummy fatty things in front of me and offers me some. No. I can't eat that today, stop teasing me. lol

I'll unpack it. Scale is very deceptive, especially when you're gaining muscle and still getting trim. Also, focusing on the scale instead of "scrutinizing" a mirror is still essentially the same thing. Basing self worth on a number instead of an image.

I agree with this. Just logging your food makes you much more aware of exactly how much you put into your body. I mean, little things add up, or sugary beverages add up. The very first thing I did was start sticking to round serving sizes of drinks. Instead of pouring myself a huge cup of juice, for example, drinking it…

YES! And "No loud grunting or dropping weights!" FFS it's right there on the wall. I hear dudes practically having anal aneurysms and then drop their weights and it annoys the *kitten* out of me.

That's right. Prob depressed because she isn't eating enough cake. Does it to me every time. lol

"You're Welcome," from Moana. lol

I never thought I had a celebrity doppelganger...and then my friend told me I look like Carrie Brownstein https://pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/carrie-brownstein.jpg?w=446&h=299&crop=1 I have better teeth though

My MIL was a hair dresser, and she had colored, cut and curled my hair several weeks before my wedding, and I loved it, but when I got home I noticed there was a spot where the color hadn't taken, so I had asked her if she could fix it. She got insulted and said she "didn't thinks he could please me" so she was not gonna…

"She's Gone" by Nine Inch Nails. The full performance was on an episode of Twin Peaks season 3. :D

But, but.... I LOVE my sugar. lol What about natural sugars? Can we still eat fruit?

Thanks for responding. I have read protein is not great either. But I do love breakfast shakes. Is it just meat protein that is hard on the belly then?

Gawd I hope not! Cats are obligate carnivores. That aside, if one is vegan because they "love" animals so much, I'd like to think they will see to their own animal's needs, even if it is not to their own preference or taste. If you choose to have the animal, you have made a choice to take care of it.

I wouldn't, unless you want to work yourself up into possibly passing out. Also, I dunno if you already do it or not, but I'd add some lifting in there. Building muscle will burn more calories and the fat seems to melt off. Also, if you're up for it, do high intensity intervals on cardio. That is said to be the best at…

YOu have made amazing progress. And if even you never lost another pound, you shouldn't feel down on yourself. But I will say since you are closer to your goal, you may be yo-yoing with a pound here and there because now that most of the fat is gone, your body is recompositioning. SO a gain of one pound or so may be muscle…

" Bacchus" Type O negative

Oh, well, that's presumptuous AND inaccurate. As long as they aren't screaming it across the gym, perhaps you better put your big kid pants on for that one. Geesh...

YASSS! Camping out on machines with phones. That's just *kitten* rude.

Well, I had the colonoscopy. I have ulcerative colitis. My doc didn't make it sound like this would be chronic for me but I am having a few issues with the treatment options he gave me, namely that there were too few, and one of them cost 632$ out of pocket!!! The other is a long course of enemas. No, no, no.
