Very much agreed

And YOU get a trophy!

And you get a trophy!

Wow, I have never heard ANY guy say that! Lol you just won some sort of award. I'm not sure what yet, but you get a trophy ! :bigsmile:

Another one: summer salad.... Canned tuna, cottage cheese, bell peppers,,sliced tomatos, green onion and salt and pepper. Served with triscuits or wheat thins if desired. My go to meal in the summer, minus the crackers now

This will sound weird but it's Delish, Take onions and garlic and sauté, add canned tomatoes, black beans, tuna and cayenne pepper and serve with brown rice. I used to add a little brown sugar. It's sweet spicy and full of fiber and protein :)

It's been a few hours since anyone bumped this

My husband and I are both very health conscious. We both let ourselves go a little, but it's definitely easier getting back to where we want to be while supporting each other. I do wish he'd pick up a weight every now and then because it'd be more fun to lift with him, but if he doesn't want to, that's his perogative. As…

What an *kitten*. Be proud of the changes you made, and when you get to your oal, go back and say "look what I did without YOU,.... *kitten*" keep up the good work :heart:

I used to lead a very sedentary lifestyle. I was pretty soft. I still am lol but I'm working on that. When I was single I got hit on by tons of athletic guys. But I never pursued them. That just wasn't my style. Maybe they liked my personality ? :laugh: Not all people need or want identical partners. There is this little…

Its a really personal part of your life to share with people you don't know....... Mine is open to my friends some days and some days it's not. Depends on my mood lol

Pretty much :)

HAHA... Both of these comments just made me laugh out loud :laugh:

And they will hopefully someday meet a great single woman with similar traits and get together :) great people are out there. Sometimes it's just a matter of timing. Women really do want these things. Immature girls on the other hand want to play and sometimes great men get sucked in by immature girls, get heartbroken and…

You are awesome! :flowerforyou:

Yes! When I eat gluten, I have IBS symptoms and am always bloated, so now I avoid it and feel normal. Also if your sodium is high that causes a lot of bloating too. Try reducing your sodium for a week or so and you may drop a few pounds right away. Be careful with the water pills, they a hard on your kidneys and can lead…

Its cliche but... An entire new wardrobe and a tropical vaca to show off my new bikini body! Lol Ive already bought myself a series of microdermabrasion for just getting started, and then a new purse for losing the first ten pounds.... I'm all about the rewards lol

Dangit I just BUMPED my knee!

But the formulas given are for maintaining my current weight and that's not what I'm trying to do.

CHEST BUMP!

Thanks ladies. Yeah, my tdee is pretty low given my stats, so I'm still unsure if that's what I need to use. Does anyone have anymore input on the rmr calculation in nrolfw?

I'm sorry I'm laughing. I agree, however, you just described the PERFECT man, not just a sexy man! Lol I'm afraid I took the last one though.... ;) heeheehee

Way to go! :)

My birthday is may 11th and even though I'm very strict about my "diet" I actually just ordered myself a cake! Its the only time I ever get my favorite kind of cake, its a very particular recipe, so I'm going to try and reasonably indulge that day :) I stick to my diet 90 percent of the time so that I can enjoy those…

Is my approx tdee minus 500 cals a day reasonable? I am trying to get all of my food as precise as possible so i weigh everything and this is well, my full time job right now lol, so I figure I finally have the time, why not do it right? I won't eat below my bmr because I just don't think that's healthy when Im at an…

I'm actually starting to think the same thing, which sucks because I was rather enjoying eating more. Lol.. But im not losing anymore and ive gone up and down a pound since increasing. ALL of the calculators I am using, and I mean all of them just don't show me as burning very much. I have approx 92 to 99 lbs of lean body…

Great job! I'll definitely grab a copy!

Is she an adult? It sounds like she has a serious problem and depending on how long she has been doing this could already be damaging her body. If she's a minor living at home, you could talk to her parents. Your friendship may not survive but you could save her from a lot of misery. Very sad. Hopefully she just won't be…

Aim to lose 20 to 25 before your wedding. That can happen on 1500 or more cals a day :) you can of course lose 10 pounds a month but it will probably include a loss of muscle and you do not want that. I think lots of people here have given good suggestions. I Can't speak from experience yet as I just started upping mine…

Also for fruity, fresh summery fun fragrances I love most of the Escada line :) you can also often find them at kohls or TJMaxx at drastically reduced prices.
