I am sick of people trying to Push s*** on me. It's not so much What they say, but everyone in my office knows I eat healthy. And I don't go downstairs to street vendors for lunch every day. When it was free ice cream day, 6 of my co-workers were taunting me with their ice cream and asking me Why I wasn't down there…

Edmonton!

Bump. I'm at a similar stage.

I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 175.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a cheat day because I hate that word. But every Saturday, my boyfriend and I make a point of going out for dinner and I don't care how much I eat or the quality of food. I don't log it and I don't care. I just enjoy it and get back on track the next day. Sometimes it's a 3000 calorie meal.…

I'm so happy I've lost weight because I can confidently look at myself in the mirror for the first time.

Agreed. I went on a 3 day mini vacation and the scale said I had gained 10 lbs. I weighed myself the next morning and I was already down 5. It's probably mostly water weight/retention from extra sodium consumed or whatever the case may be. Why can't people just go on vacation and enjoy themselves without worrying too much?…

I'd play it safe and go with the least amount of calories. That way, it's a win win situation if you actually burned more. Rather be safe than sorry.

I work from 7:30 AM until 3:30 PM. I get to the gym at 4 and stay until 5:30. And then I work out on Sundays any time I feel. Usually early afternoon.

It definitely gets easier. Although, I will admit, when I know I've had a bit of a bad week, my heart still races when the scale is thinking when I've stepped onto it.

I've stopped caring the day after a binge or a cheat. Honestly, last weekend I had a 3000 calorie meal at a burger joint. It was worth every gained calorie. It was delicious. I loved it. I didn't feel guilty. One night isn't going to ruin my year and a half worth of progress. I just get back on track the next day. No use…

I absolutely Love this post. On Saturday, I went over about 4000 calories and I didn't care. I had Red Robin. Stack of onion rings to start. Bacon Cheeseburger with cheese and bottomless steak fries. And I had a Mountain High mud pie dessert that is meant for 4 and I ate it all myself. And I loved it. I didn't feel guilty.…

I have lost 158 lbs and I sit behind a desk for 8 hours a day. However, I'm on the 7th floor. Every time I need to go to the bathroom, I take the stairs down to Main and take the stairs back up to 7. That's atleast 4 times a day. And I take a half an hour walk at lunch. PLUS, I work out 4 days a week. Having a desk job is…

Of course I track when I over eat. If not, what's the point of logging at all? We're all going to have good and bad days. Honestly, I wasn't planning on over eating at all this weekend. My boyfriend and I decided to go to Red Lobster. I had 2 cheese buns. A caesar salad. Calamari and breaded vegetables. Bread crusted…

I hardly eat out at restaurants, but my boyfriend and I went to Red Lobster this weekend and I just pigged out. I had 2 of the buns they bring you at the start of the meal. I had calamari with battered brocolli and marinara. I had a caesar salad. I had bread crusted fettucini alfredo with chicken and a warm cookie lava…

Yeah, she sure ages quickly.

Toning up is different than losing weight.

Why would you want to lose 10 lbs?

Not everyone who has sex before marriage "throws" it around. I'm 22. I've slept with 2 people. Both of which were/are long term boyfriends whom I love/loved very much. I do not at all regret how I lost my virginity or to whom because it was out of love and it wasn't spur of the moment with someone random.

Waiting is definitely not for me. I don't believe it makes me a better or worse person if I choose to wait or not. And I don't view it as a sin. It's a beautiful exchange and experience between my partner and I. It's not like I'm running out sleeping with 50 guys. I sleep with the one man I love. Just do your own thing and…

It's definitely my abdomen.

World Health.

My forehead sweats crazily! However, I've noticed that I don't sweat the same amount each time I exercise and I've always wondered why this is. I can do the exact same workout on two different days and one day I'm dripping with sweat and the other, barely.

I agree. You either want a healthy lifestyle or you don't. You're either going to put the work in or you're not. Sometimes, you won't seem results for a long sprint of time. That doesn't mean that you give up. It means you research and try new things and keep pushing yourself to your best potential.

I think everyone has these experiences to some extent. It's getting to the point with me where they are telling me to Stop losing weight because I look sick. I don't look sick. I've been fat my entire life and they just aren't used to seeing me at a relatively healthy weight. There will always be people who make comments.…

So...you buy your own groceries and make/cook your own meals and that's that. I don't eat the same meals as my family because I come from a Russian household. We cook everything in oil and it's all junk. So, I take the liberty of buying all of my own things, cooking for myself and make sure that my meals are healthy.

Sorry. My mistake on the spelling. I drink 4 bottles of water a day and I'm passing gas normally.

In my opinion, I would tell him how you feel. It may put him off for an hour or two, but maybe it will help him to realize what he's doing. My dad is much the same. My mom, sister and I have all been overweight for our entire lives. And my dad has never had a problem with his weight. The minute my mom wanted to start…

Yeah, I completely agree with Old Navy. It's all a matter of personal opinion, though. I just think their products lack quality. It's all very bland. Very cheaply made. The store is picked over. It's just Not my favorite place to go into. Nothing ever catches my eye.

It's not something I'd treat myself to every pay day. But I've come a very long way in my journey and it was a reward to myself.
