After you start building muscles, your body need more calories, have you upped your calories at all since starting? And thanks, same to you :-)

Hi ladies! My name is Natalie, i'm from Germany and met my husband when we were 18 and he had just moved to his first duty station (Ramstein). We have been married for almost 9 year now, together for almost 11 years and we have 3 children, ages 8, 6 and 3. Currently we are stationed at Travis AFB in Cali, but before that…

Congrats, that's awesome!

I did T25 and I lose around 8lbs. Not bad but I wasn't counting calories. I was debating starting Gamma, but decided to start Turbo fire. Best choice I've made for myself. I just completed week 5 and lost 7lbs already. But I had to change what I ate.

Best thing to do? Get a bag or organic popping corn and a jar of coconut oil. Make your own popcorn at home and it tastes like theater popcorn!

When i log i don't lie about what i put in my body. You're only fooling yourself, so why do it? For positive attention? Get that by doing positive things. Lying will get you no where. I do have days where i don't feel like logging b/c i ate a few bad things and i know i'm over and can't make up for it. So i don't log those…

That's great!! I'm proud of you as it IS a major accomplishment. I always wanna resort to food too when i'm mad, sad or any other emotion. I've gotten better at it too

That's a terrific example to a lot of people here who starve themselves and see nothing wrong with it. Go you!

BTW, when i make Lentil soup it's a big old pot, costs about 5-6$ to make and my family of 5 can eat 3 dinners our of that. Super cheap

Ramen noodles are BAD. Way too much sodium and no nutritional value. As someone else said, a big pot of Lentil soup is great! I make that regularly. Pretty much any soup can be healthy and cheap. Or Casserole's as well. Shop sales and look at what's in season. Then build your meals from that. The internet is a great place…

Here comes ignorance again, lol. I said early i'm WHITE, i only said i'm part French, German and Czech, never did i say i'm anything BUT white. Thank you

Interval training will help you build up to running for longer periods of time. Just don't expect to run a marathon in a week! lol. But yeah, intervals. I get my heart beat up to 175 then walk until it's down to 140, then run again. It burns a nice amount of calories too!

Very true. I don't typically like blonds but i did have a blond boyfriend once, but most were white with dark hair, a Turk and a half white/half black guy. My husband is my first "black". I myself am part German, Czech and French. My husband has almost only African Americans in his family but seeing as he IS that, he's…

lol, yeah. That's what i meant by that. It made sense in my head!!

I've read you should drink half of your body weight in ounces to stay properly hydrated.

You will learn to ignore ignorant people like that. Trust me. I'm white, from Germany, and my husband is black and from Detroit, Michigan. We've been together for almost 10 years now. You can't help who you love, we're all human, i don't believe race matters. Plus, most people in the states are mixed with different races…

Hat off to you!! That proves that Dads aren't the only ones who will just walk away form a child. They are blessed to have yo as their Father! It's their mother's loss!

Way to go and congrats!! Nothing is impossible!

Fairfield, near Bay Area. It's nice up here, we're stationed at Travis AFB :-)

2003! We were 18 and he had just moved to German due to his Job (he's in the Air Force) and i was in College there. We met at a club i NEVER went to before and didn't wanna go that night either But my friends made me since we were on break and there was nothing else to do. We have been together for over 9 years now and…

I go to a military hospital and since all the docs there are military they are required to stay fit, which i think is great. I wouldn't wanna hear from an obese doctor that i'm obese and need to lose weight. It's hypocritical! lol. I know of obese nurses though, i can imagine it's not easy to be in the hospital for so many…

I've been having that problem too, i do really great, then all of a sudden i felt deprived and just wanted hot dogs. Now, i really try to plan out my day beforehand so i can get the most nutrition. It helps me not to binge eat if i don't have anything in the house that i love to binge with. And when i am done with my day i…

A lot of people on here have had success by upping there calorie intake a bit for a week or 2. See if that would help you lose again. Your body might have built up more muscles and needs more energy from food now. It's worth a shot!

I do this: 2 deli flats 1 tuna in water package (2.6oz) 2 tsp Spicy brown mustard 1 piece crunchy gherkins (or any pickle you like) 1 tbsp mayonnaise i spice it with paprika, nutmeg and black pepper. It can have between 360 and 410 calories for all of this and it gets you full. It just depends on which mayo you use and…

They are only putting you down so the attention goes away from them and they feel better about themselves. Learn to love yourself and stand proud of your accomplishments. Show them that you don't care what they think and i bet they will stop it

- Drink between 8 and 12 cups of water daily! - Try to but whole grains with everything you can - do NOT cut out bread! Carbs are good for you, our bodies actually need them and those are good carbs! - FIBER, add more fiber! By adding fruits, grains and veggies you will get a better digestion - cut back on processed…

I am here to get my BP under control. I have family history of high BP and some diabetes. I do NOT wanna end up with health problems. And also, i wanna look better. I already have more energy and i never had problems moving but this muffin top is disgusting. So is my double chin

I agree, you look way younger and way happier :-) Way to go!!

Great read! Thanks for posting! I always wanna lower my calories when i don't lose weight, i know that's wrong and here's a great example why :-)

Yay, congrats! You're a very pretty lady and the 22lbs have many a huge difference already. Your face definitely shows it :-)
