thanksss good tips :D

nono I meant 20/30 lbs just for machines, not dumbells. Is there a huge difference in dumbbells?:)

You could be very right, because I know i have a restrictive diet. One thing though is that if I eat something that I consider "bad" (for example i know oatmeal is not bad, its the complete opposite, but its high in carbs and its a grain, STILL, i feel immediately like I gain weight! and yes, of course, you would think Im…

Yes I am definitely fighting with my body constantly. I just find it extremely strange that I eat no bad foods, no wheat, no carbs (even potatoes, sometimes I eat sweet potatos), i eat vegetables, proteins, good fats, drink plenty of green tea, water, etc, and I exercise, yet still my body does not want to change :( The…

Hmm yeah it seems like you are right. You mean I am gaining muscle in more areas of my body? It could be true, because I look much different than when I was last year, but somehow I weigh almost the same i think. I dont exactly know because i rarely weighed myself when I gained weight, only at certain points.

Zucchini spread is definitely real and healthy! :) lots of oils and good fats,,its high in calories but thats bc its mostly fat, but good fat!:)

Noo I never used to lift really. I have really strong legs, quads, thighs, etc, (i can leg press 300 lbs) but my upper body sucks! Thats why i suck at lifting :( I can barely lift 20/30 lbs for working my triceps o biceps ;( People have been telling me to go with free weights and I think thats what I must do..

Yes I know, but I dont even eat bread :( ... but yes, youre right. I am going to get a food scale for sure now!:)

Hmm I definitely see your point..But, you are missing the foods i eat almost everyday as well. I always always eat eggs, isn't that extremely nutritious ? Plus, I do eat other vegetables like peppers, cauliflower, cabbage (i love cabbage) its jus that somehow you missed that in my food diary (and there was a long time…

Thanks:) I think its time to invest in a food scale !

I am so going to get a dexa scan! I have never even heard of this! Thank you so much for telling me about it :)

Hmm Good Idea:)

Yes you're completely right. Thank you!

I think the main thing is what you said...that I am not counting accurately.. :open_mouth: Oyyy

I am actually very good at counting calories, I don't ever have to look up the food in order to know. Based on the foods I usually eat, I always know the amount of calories to the amount Im eating. So, I would say that it is in my skill set, I have been doing it for about 3 years. But, maybe you are right, maybe I am not…

i drink a lot of water because drinking water is good for health in every possible way, including weight loss actually (supposedly). Plus, I hate feeling bloated. Anyways, me drinking water has obv nothing to do with me not losing weight. Maybe youre right, maybe im eating more than I think, but I highly doubt it, because…

I was about 103-110 lbs before, but I may have lost some muscle mass. So its completely possible i think, its just that my body does not want to work with me!!!Lol

I also drink warm water with lemon in the morning, with ginger sometimes. I drink tea constantly (no sugar no milk or cream). Green teas and pepermint teas usually AND i drink 10-20 cups of water per day. So, its not water retention i don't think :(

Im 5'4, 25 years old I am counting calories but not every day. I range from 1000-2000. I burn a lot also during the day. But, even though sometimes I dont LOG everything and count everything in detail, I still lock it in my head for that day, and remember it, its like a mind food logger. I dont know how to explain it but I…

I dont think its because of hunger though! I dont want to eat I dont feel hunger I really think its something else! it's so frustrating though I woke up at 3am for no reason and now its 6:30 and still can't sleep :| I have to be up at 7am anyway...

Im a bartender too and sometimes I stay at the restaurant until 4 am! ..yepp lol but isnt there a way where you could snack while you're at work? FOr me, what I do is if Im hungry, I ask the kitchen to cut up carrots & celery! and you can snack while no ones looking haha :).. Whats really good with them (if you dislike…

simple - bananas, skim milk & lots of ice :)

whenever I want to snack on carrots & celery at work and dont want to feel guilty using ranch, I pour a lemon lemon juice and salt on the carrots and celery..its actually so good:) im gonna try using cayenne pepper

the foods that you are eating now could be the cause of the problem. Do you get enough Fats & Proteins in your diet? Perhaps eat more FATTY foods, like nuts & fish!

how low are you talking about?!

nonfat yogurt ..plain :) ..good for digestive system

i lovee lollipops. theyre not very good for you or your teeth soooo many sugar:) but once in a while its okay to indulge! i am obsessed with the rocket lollies:P

my fridge is packed with yogurt :)

hmmm...:) this has made me think.

girl you lost so much weight!!!!:) ... You're beautiful and I hope one day you will realize this xoxoxoxo
