When I began running I saw a big difference in my thighs and that I workout ALOT, but that is the one thing that really changed the definition in my thighs.

I do this with my kids treats as well because when I say "this is not mine to eat", I can more easily turn away from it. I had a huge problem with late night snacking for the longest and I found that it was mostly out of habit that I was doing it because I was not hungry at all...just used to doing the same thing every…

I did find some of the options with 1200+ calories at On the Border, but I think they had carnitas or ribs included....generally the higher calorie ones may be the ones with sausage in them I think. Gross combo to me, but I have seen it on some menus. Rice has a ton of calories and refried beans too. I use a lot of salsa…

I had this same question because fajita or taco salad were my go-to's when we went to Mexican. I pulled up on the border which is pretty generic to get an idea of how many calories in general. Mesquite-Grilled Steak Fajitas -calories-620 fat-41 protein-42 carbs-18 Mesquite-Grilled Chicken Fajitas -440 -18 -48 -20 Shrimp…

I was thinking the same exact thing as mentioned above. It is like guessing at how many calories you burn and overestimating or using a HRM and being exact.

Was hoping for cake being blown up.

Going by the TDEE calculator in 2 different methods on the IIFYM site it puts you at 3829 and 3817 respectively. Your RMR averaged by 5 methods is 3175. This is the definition: What Are Basal & Resting Metabolic Rates (RMR)? These two terms are used interchangeably, although they are not technically the same. Resting…

That is what I was worried about. I have a lot of stretch marks because my daughter was 9.5lb baby and I got huge with her and that was the first C-section. I have some definition...just wishing for more and the whole sharpei-dog stomach is so annoying after this much work. It is what it is I guess. Thanks for the answers…

What are some more of your stats such as height and age and then I can post what the TDEE calculator states and what it all means for you?

Back in the day....I can't even begin to tell you. The highest binge for the last 6 months was around 3,000 for the whole day give or take a few.....and I average around 1900 most days anyway so this has come a really long way since fast food and dessert binges of the past which I would guess would be in the 5000+ range.

I went through the same exact thing for so many years and still battle it when I get really stressed or am overly tired. In the beginning there is a feeling that you CAN'T beat this, but that is just your mind at work trying to find a way to keep avoiding the emotions....it really is not reality. It is a defense mechanism…

Hi and welcome to MFP. I was the fat one in my circle of family and friends so I can relate to going at this "alone". I am currently in college for physical therapy...after losing this weight and gaining a love for fitness it lead me in this direction. Feel free to add me and I would love to support you along your weight…

That sentence stuck in my head too when I read it.....the physical part of weight loss can be easy compared to the mental aspects of it at times. You really have to look at the pros and cons of a major surgery and see if you are willing to risk it if you are not 100% sure that you can completely change your life to…

Pretty much what you see is what you get(been married 11 years)....he is not going to have some major epiphany and change anytime soon probably. We did pre-marital counseling and it really helped with what to expect with each other so that we knew what each of us was willing to do and willing to change and where we were…

This would be so annoying!

I think that it depends on the person. I would like to think that I have been at this long enough to take a break with logging and stay the same, but in reality there are certain foods and situations that lead to binges for me. I will take a weekend off and "get it out of my system", but longer than that I chance having to…

First, holy crap that's high and secondly you are awesome!!!!

I have been maintaining for close to 8 months now...in the beginning it was very stressful because I am a huge goal setter and there were no weight loss numbers to hit on the scale so I had to change that into fitness goals instead to keep me focused.(adding distance to running, increasing my weight lifting amounts) It…

Totally agree with the above poster about glycogen stores and weight gain in the beginning. If the calorie count that you are changing to is drastically above what you are used to, then don't make a huge jump. You can increase in an increment of 200 calories first and whatever is left to increase up to hit your maintenance…

My husband is still 5lbs lighter than me and no matter what I try I can never seem to under weigh him. I got close and then Ramadan and he lost some pounds and was still less than me yet again.
