I don't know who "we" is but i'm pretty sure I'm not included. Maybe your dating the wrong men.

Fart back. It's the only appropriate response. Lol this thread reminds me of a time when I farted in the car, like a huge one and locked the windows. He had tears in his eyes.

Obsessing over anything that much is not normal or healthy. I have obsessive compulsive disorder (non food related) and even though I've come a long way in fixing some of my obsessions and improving on others I still find it exhausting. I'm also a recovering bulimic with a scale obsession. I know what it feels like to want…

Try incorporating healthy high calorie foods like peanut butter, raisins. And though I generally don't recommend drinking your calories, if you are having trouble getting your 1200 net maybe a cup of fruit juice or milk with dinner will help without adding bulk.

You don't have to work out every day. God knows I certainly don't. As long as you don't take weeks off at a time you will do alright.

I never recommend people to a 1200 limit. Its basically the absolute minimum your body needs to function and unless you are in a comatose state its not enough. I used to try to do it at I hit plataues constantly and got frustrated all the time and quit more times than I care to remember. Do yourself a favor and set your…

The number on the scale doesn't matter if you are losing inches. If you are losing inches and not losing weight it means you are raising your muscle mass and lowering body fat. And trust me that's a bigger accomplishment than moving the scale. A after all is hard work to lose real body fat and gain muscle and all you have…

This to. Just the same as you can't lose weight from specific areas because your body loses fat from where it wants so to speak, it will also store fat where it wants regardless off what you eat.

0_o There's no such thing as a food that stores fat. Food doesn't store anything. Your body stores things in different ways but as long as you eat fairly clean, you are in a calorie deficit and eating a balanced diet you are going to lose weight.

I came here think this was gonna be some sort of pill praise but I was pleasantly surprised. Every time I pass the "diet" isle at the grocery store I'm tempted to take all the detox pills off the shelf and replace them with prunes. in fact that gives me an idea. I'm gonna bottle up some prune juice and call it Ziaki's…

To much protien can be taxing on your kidneys and your liver. There is such a thing as to much. With that said, mfps protien goals are fairly low so if you go over a bit you really don't have anything to worry about.

If you are working out six days a week you are a probably putting on a decent amount of muscle. Try going by measurements instead and if your clothes are fitting better. Also If you are doing a lot of strength training your muscles will be holding on to water to help themselves heal and that can contribute to lack of…

Nuts do have healthy fats nutrients and protien but I would say rhat you dont need a "ton". Everything in moderation. a balanced diet is key. I possibly wouldnt listen to any "nutritionist" that tells you to eat a ton of anything.

I know how you feel. Every day I feel like if I just had a few more hours each day I could get stuff done. Between a 40hr a week job, studying, taking care of a house full of critters and a boyfriend and keeping up with the hobbies I want to do and trying to get enough sleep. I haven't been getting as much exercise as I…

Sounds like how I feel when my blood sugar is low. Can't see your diary but I'd be willing to bet that your not eating enough to fuel your body for the amount of exercise you are doing.

If you are only eating 1000 calories and exercising you are not doing your body any favors. Your body will actually resist dropping weight because you are not giving it enough fuel, so it's going to hold on to what it has. You should be eating an absolute min of 1200 calories a day and if that's the number you are going to…

I have back fat that makes my behind look like that But there is no way to spot reduce. Just keep exercising (cardio / weight training) and eventually your body will decided to dig into the fat that you want it to.

Sugar is sugar no matter where it comes from or how much it's processed. Your body doesn't care. The difference is that at least with a piece of fruit you are getting other nutrients as opposed to a candy bar where you are getting sugar + other processed crap. I have issues with sugar as well. Try changing some of your…

I'm all for tattoos but permanent make up just seems silly to me. If you don't have time to apply make up ( the #1 reason I don't wear it that often) then you don't need it that bad. Not the mention that it's something free that your mom won. I can't imagine you'll get amazing work done for free.

I'm 5' 5.5" at 145 , 23.8 bmi, and I'm a size 10 in jeans and though they are fitting more comfortably lately I haven't seen an actual drop in pant size for a good 15 pounds now. I'm starting to realize that my hips are pretty wide (I can actually see my hip bones now) and that I'll probably never be a size 4 or even a 6.…

If you are not eating at least some of your exercise calories back (netting 1200 min) then your body will resist your efforts to drop weight. Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water. The best and healthiest way to drop water weight believe it or not is to drink more water. If you feel heavy due to constipation or…

This is SO true. This is one of the biggest things that gets stressed in my personal training cert. course. Without sleep your body doesn't function properly. And your body uses carbs, protiens, glucose, for your actual workouts. Fats are efficient for low intensity activity so much so that you actually burn fat most…

Worked and 11 hour shift. Only got 15 minute break. Not something I can really log but I'll be damned if I didn't burn any calories running around for 11 hours.

I log it for the 'previous day' since I stay up until 3 in the morning a few days a week I'm usually eating until 1 or 2. It's not a new day for me until I've been to bed and gotten back up.

Jesus I hope I can make that kind of money from one client when I get my certification. >_< How many times a month do you get to see them for 160$?

I eat my calories up until I reach a 1000 - 1200 net and save for last week I've lost 1 - 2 lbs per week. I also use an HRM so my exercise calories are fairly accurate.

If you work some where that doesn't allow outside food all you have to do is tell them that you have a medical condition that doesn't allow you to eat that particular food. And if they require a doctors note i'm sure your doctor wouldn't mind writing one up to spare your health. I work at pizza hut and there is literally…

None of my geekiness is a secret. :D

Any diet pill label you read will say some thing along the lines of seeing amazing results when used with diet and exercise. The truth is the diet and exercise is what gets the results, not the pills.

I wouldn't say it would be offensive to me but depending on the situation it can make me uncomfortable or it can even sometimes sound condescending. I really don't like it when people do it while i'm waiting on them at work or something or any other stranger for that matter. There's a guy at work that likes to be like "Hey…
