You already have muscle, as long as you maintain it by lifting heavy and eating adequate protein on your way down you'll start to see definition and "tone" as the fat comes off. Definitely look into a lifting program and don't be afraid of heavy weights, they'll make you slimmer, not larger. Good luck!

This is why I juice all of my meats before I eat them, for easier passing.

I like plain almonds mixed with dried dates. Mmmm.

6. I'm sure if I took this a year ago I'd be 100. :p

pee the excess food out????

Any cheese you like, just make sure you stick to the serving size listed on the package.

You won't. Try to incorporate some strength training into your routine, eat at a reasonable deficit (TDEE-20% is recommended as the max deficit for fat loss generally), and try to enjoy yourself at your event without worrying about your weight. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Here's a good calculator

Yeah I don't care for this, it feels like an artificial conflict drummed up between thin people and non-thin people when I think the real enemy is the idea that our self-worth depends on our pants size.

I take a minimum of 64 oz of Dihydrogen Monoxide Miracle Drops a day combined with regular exercise and 2000cals, it has worked wonders

Lol, I also thought pregnant immediately! guess I'm not the only one with these exact symptoms right in the beginning.

Ice cream time.

I can't see your diary but a LOT. OF. PEOPLE. have this problem when they restrict calories too severely. The "default" setting of 1200 is much too low for most people.

You have very little weight to lose and may have set a goal that is unrealistic. Change to losing .5 lbs per week, set your activity level ACCURATELY (probably not sedentary) and eat back exercise calories.

Soooooo true

Yeah... I know it's hard to watch. But there's nothing you can do for her if she doesn't want to do it for herself.

Have we ever managed to successfully talk down an OP from doing one of these stupid things??? Have fun pooping water or whatever OP sounds like a blast

Our first kiddo is due the day before our third anniversary. :flowerforyou:

Flirting, definitely. I'm sure he knows that you are a newer lifter and was more implying that once you have hit your stride and been lifting for a good while you will be happy you got the gloves... not that you are lifting "improperly ". HE has gloves, he wasn't sassing yours!

Lmao

Just keep losing weight.

Haven't you posted this same topic like a half dozen times now? You get the same advice every time, not sure why you keep asking.

Avocado with tomatillo and lime juice ughhughgygygh *drool*

I guess this is me being a spoiled American but I never wanted to eat eggs that had been sitting out to dry and then shuffled all over a hot yard for hours on end.

If you're a student you should have access to your university's gym.

The lemonade one tastes pretty good.

3lbs in a month is right on target for anyone that isn't obese.

Cardio burns muscle+fat. Strength burns mostly fat, little muscle. You also retain more water doing strength to aid in muscle repair.

I'm 223 and 8 months pregnant and I squat/deadlift all the time. Not sure how everyone's belly is "getting in their way".:huh:
