Fantastic! You've done soooo well! :) you look great!

Good to know! Thanks! I was wondering what the difference was

Oh I agree :) I eat a ton of real food lol. The protein powder is quick and easy after a workout and a little less expensive for me. I eat quite a few eggs and plenty of meat, but man the cost of meat is getting quite high and I can only handle so many eggs lol

I'm 5'1.5". My goal is 127 lbs...... Seems a little higher than most but I'll reassess when I get there. I'm more concerned with preserving my lean body mass and reducing my body fat, though I want to keep my body fat above 21% to support a future pregnancy. I'm 35 and haven't had kids yet.

for real

I cannot believe the widespread opinions of yoga pants. I wear mine all the time and my *kitten* is nowhere near as hot as yours. There are probably judgmental catty women everywhere I go that say I look like potatos or something. You know what? I dont give a crap. I wear what I want! If you dont like it, quit staring at…

It looks like your non healthy meals are loaded with calories, while your healthy meals are drastically lower. Thats probably why you're still hungry. You eat a lot of excess sugar, refined carbs and processed food in both your snacks and your meals. These things can actually become addictive for some people and you wont…

I haven't, but I"ll check her out! Thanks

I also agree with getting a food scale! You would be shocked at what a "half cup" portion of ice cream looks like compared to 58g of ice cream :noway: . Bad example but these are the serving sizes listed on the package. I use to measure things using cups, now if its a calorie dense food I measure it using my scale. It…

Nah then, enjoy your chesse and dont worry about what anyone else says :) There are worse things than cheese. That being said, if you eat a lot of it, you may want to look for brands that do not treat their cows with RBGH. This has nothing to do with weight loss, just personal preference. I do not want to be ingesting…

It depends.... Does it back you up? Do you have any sort of lactose intolerance and feel yucky after you it? Gassy, bloated, etc..? If you experience these things it can interfere with your digestive system which can interfere with your weight loss, due to inflammation or a digestive system that isn't working in your…

Sorry... I just saw you had your baby awhile ago, so you're probably not breast feeding, but you might be, some women are doing that for longer periods of time now....

Don't listen to anyone who says you need to fear fat. I have my goals set at 40c/30p/30f however I usually always go over on my fat, and sometimes on my protein and sometimes on my carbs. It depends on the day. But those ratios are important in my body. No matter what anyone says. And healthy fat, especially omega 3 is…

Did your doctor tell you how to fix your vitamin d level? Mine was low too and I had to take 6,000 i us a day for three months then back it down to 2,000 ius a day for maintenance. Any brand will do, as long as its d3. Correcting that imbalance has really helped my moods and energy levels, helping me stay active and deal…

Yep. She gives good advice! You will find that not only will you lose wight with whole, fresh foods, but you will feel so much better as well :)

Phew okay then :)

" Not that I do that myself, I personally LOVE eating the way every other animal does" you eat cats? :cry:

Good point

You are where I'm Working to get to, and I can already see it coming :)

Yes, I get this. It's highly annoying. I have 20 pounds to lose. I have friends telling me I don't need to lose weight. Then they see me entering my cals on my phone and the next thing I know they think I have a problem or something lol.

I guess I would have to see the kind of thing you are referring to. I mean if a woman asks am I attractive? Then she deserves whatever polite, honest answer she gets. But wouldn't a husband or boyfriend FIND their wife or girlfriend attractive AlReady? I think I'm just confused about the context you are referring to…

When I was in my 20's a guy picked me up to go to the movies. I didn't realize he had been drinking, we get into the theatre and he pulls out a flask and is sitting there drinking, totally ignoring me. Next thing I know he wants to leave saying the movie is boring. We were supposed to go have dinner then. I think we are on…

Now I'm cracking up again :laugh:

No, I think what Cris is saying is that men will happily express what they like, but theyre not going to openly express that they think fat women are unattractive on this site, because there are a lot of overweight women on this site, and that would just hurt a lot of people. So not that they are lying, just not talking…

You also have to think of the confusion that would be created if men started posting pictures of women who are the size of women who are trying to get down to the size of smaller women...on this site..... And saying that's what they find attractive.

But your user name is "chasingbabes" :heart: Oh and good answer :)

I am laughing so hard right now

$100 he tells me he gives birth every morning! :laugh:

Well that just means you'll do anybody :) kidding

Yes, but I haven't had kids yet, and I don't think the opportunity for that comment has come up for my Husband. I'll ask him tomorrow! LOL
