Even when I was thin I couldn't fit in their shirts because my boobs were too big. ;(

I eat 1000+ calories in dinner and evening snacks a couple of hours before bedtime and it hasn't hurt me any.

Plastic surgery. The only people endorsing these things are people trying to sell them to you. Please don't waste your money.

I made my muscles too long and this happened

Hahahaha

I use to get sick from greasy food because my fat on most days was much too low. Avocado a day = problem solved.

You're amazing! This is a super inspiring story.:flowerforyou:

You can mix tuna with unsweetened, plain Greek yogurt as a Mayo substitute. It's good and adds even more protein.

What is your calorie goal? And are you eating back exercise cals?

I don't drink milk becos of all the toxins

My husband went from 14EEEE to 13W and I went from 9.5 to 8.5 :smile: lot easier buying shoes these days.

It was meant to study average populations, not individuals, so it can be very inaccurate for people with larger frames and an above average amount of muscle mass.

No.

I just put a small plate over the bowl.

Browsing success stories is always motivating for me if I need a quick pick me up. :smile:

To be fair when I first started eating healthier I really didn't know what healthy high calorie foods were. I was mostly eating vegetables and tilapia. Took a while for me to figure out the healthy higher calorie options.

I think a lot of the issue is people trying to drastically overhaul their diets and eliminate everything "bad" in one fell swoop. So they're left eating super low calorie "healthy" foods only. Then we get treated to complaints about how they don't feel well and they're not losing weight and they can't stop ~BINGING~ and…

every cleanse thread

Yeah, MFP sets protein too low. 100g per day is usually a good goal.

Tone is not revealed until you remove body fat, so no amount of "tricep toning" will help. THAT SAID. I've reduced the flabby look of my upper arms quite a bit by doing 25lb plate raises to develop my feeble shoulder region and pull the skin tauter. My underarms are still fat though.

Most people put their weight loss goal at 2 lbs a week, which would be a calories deficit of 1000 calories per day. This is very aggressive for anyone who isn't obese. Then they make it worse by setting their activity level at sedentary when it isn't and not eating back exercise cals.

Depends, how you "look" sizewise depends on bf%. Not age.

You're probably going to have to bulk and cut a couple of times, but you'll get the look you want. Eating a slight surplus with heavy lifting will help you gain muscle + a little fat, eating at a slight deficit afterwards while lifting heavy will maintain new muscle while cutting fat. Repeat until satisfied. Takes a while,…

Happened to me, it took about 2 weeks for the pain to fade enough for me to be able to stand up, get out of bed, walk, etc without pain. After that probably 2 weeks more to ease back into regular workouts and another two weeks to get back to high impact sports. I still feel tightness in the affected muscles if I don't…

Those BOGO tilapia bags are the BEST.

Bad food calories, especially unnatural sugar calories, are larger than calories in good food. These calories turn directly into body fat because your body cannot process them. Essentially, you enter starvation mode thus slowing your metabolism, and you gain fat from the ultra dense calories and unnatural sugars and…

I'm pregnant and I've eaten plenty of raw sushi. I recommend soft shell crab or shrimp tempura for a newbie and anything raw tuna. Yum.

Good grief. Lot of high horses cantering about in this thread.

That's awesome! I'm sure I would still be in the 270s if my husband hadn't inspired me to get started. Sooo much easier to get healthy in a team! :happy:

LOL, this reminds me of the time my husband and I were served a rack of ribs with the longest, gnarliest black hair I've ever seen draped across the top like a garnish. When we asked for a new one the manager came out and told us no one working had long black hair while eyeballing us suspiciously. I'm blond and my husband…
