Eating what I want on weekends and being super strict during the week is the only thing that lets me maintain weight. I kept losing weight and then gaining it back over and over. IT kept happening until I tried to lose it a looooot more slowly than before. Now it's been off for a year and I find it super easy to keep off.…

I feel your pain (literally.. I have stupid back issues too). I'm really flexible but not strong and my back issues love to flare up just as I get into fitness (like you!) I also have problems just taking it easy when working out I started going to physio as well as seeing my chiro (I know lots of people are anti chiro,…

I love these ones. Soft and taste like banana bread http://www.clockworklemon.com/2013/03/soft-peanut-butter-banana-oat-bars.html

I literally said "wow!" when I got to your after photos. Great job!

I've been doing morning workouts for a while now and love them. While in university I wanted to make getting up early easier and I found some advice online that really helped. I don't need to do this anymore, but when I first started getting up early I had to follow it strictly. Now it's easy 1. As soon as your alarm goes…

1. eggs 2. peanut butter 3. Brown rice (we cook a lot of chinese food and switching to brown rice added extra fiber)

Whoa! I was really surprised how different you looked when I scrolled past the before photos. That's a huge change! Congrats on all your hard work

Great job!!! I think the trick for sticking to it is just focus on the day that you are on. If you try to imagine forever and ever it can be discouraging. I also find that if you just focus on one day then it's easier to pick yourself back up if you had a bad day yesterday. .

I've never tried those, I meant the cold cut ones on the buns.. like the turkey bacon is 400 calories and is enough food for a road-trip lunch. Pretty good compared to the fast food places surrounding it

Yah the double double isn't great for you, but Tim Horton's sandwiches are some of the best fast food choices calorie-wise. When I'm on the road for meetings I try and eat there because many of the sammies are low cal because they use honey mustard as the sauce instead of something creamy, and their whole wheat buns are a…

Will there be poutine? What about cold packed cheddar in the red tub.. KETCHUP CHIPS?

Hello! I've done barre consistently since February this year, I love the classes! I go 2-4 times a week and I like the classes best when the instructor adds in blasts of intense cardio along with the toning work. I've seen great results in my legs, butt, and arms. I started with the 2lb weights but now I always use the…

I tried this and found what lots of other girls with fine hair found: it didn't work. Thick or curly hair seems to love it.. my hair just got sadder and flatter even after my scalp adjusted. After doing it I don't wash my hair as often as before (only shampoo 3 times a week) and I put coconut oil on the ends of my hair and…

A tough-on-the-outside but sweet-on-the-inside type guy

Congrats!! And i am in love with your plan of strength training + a few maintence days a week.. so realistic yet effective :)

To slim down slightly and then tone up. Guessing no fad diets

What I took away from the article was that she was going to be ok with herself AS SHE IS. It means not waiting until she's thin to love herself or live her life or deserve respect. It means being treated and feeling like a whole, normal person at any weight. People deserve respect, and deserve to love themselves at any…

I take a lot of classes and there are one or two bigger ladies that come to a number of them. I've never paid attention to them more than anyone else. The only people who ever really catch my eye are: 1. girls who are wearing something I want to wear.. where did they get it? Was it expensive? (I swear I have an exercise…

Homophobia and racism Other than that.. very very very little.

I can see how you might find junk food ads annoying.. but this is a pretty rad app and website and its 100% free so no complaints from me on how they make their money, as long as I don't have to give it to them!

I eat what I like within my calorie goal and it works for me! I usually eat salads and veggies and eggs for lots of meals because I develop baking recipes so I need the extra calories for tasting cookies, cakes etc. Finding that balance between healthy and treats really works for me. I also find that I'm happier/feel…

Was this a special gym only for people exactly like you who enjoy the things you do? Or was it a regular gym for people who pay to use in the way that they want to?

Done! Warning: I'll just make you do it for me

So awesome!!! Congrats on reaching your goal, and an even bigger congrats on continuing!! My starting goal was the exact same as yours (to just lose 25) and now its to lose another 25.. so much easier when you break it into smaller chunks.

Mine too. A person's weight should never affect the basic respect that they deserve to get in public. Those guys were either immature and insensitive, or they NEED to make fun of others to make themselves feel good. I also like the advice of telling them to be respectful (although I probably wouldn't be brave enough)

Wholesome kindergarden teacher type.

I don't add dudes, I try to keep my friend's list small and I prefer the company of hilarious women. Doesn't matter to me who other people add or why, doesn't affect me! My other social media outlets are pretty equal guys and girls, but I'm private about eating, and weightloss and fitness so I feel most comfortable in the…

I have a 9-5 plus a bunch of freelance stuff and property management on the side. I fit it in by: 1. sitting down at the beginning of each week and scheduling in my workout alongside my other tasks and appointments. First I look for early morning classes I want to take, then I fill in cardio/gym time.. just like I would…
