Eat what you want. Some days I wake up hungry and I do eat a pretty large breakfast, then downsize it for lunch and dinner. Most days I just have coffee and don't eat until lunch because I personally prefer large dinners. In the end, it's about whatever works for you.

It took me 6 months to lose 30 pounds, then 6 more to put it all back on. When I was losing weight. I generally kept my calories between 1700-1900 (I did go over maybe once a week, but I knew it wasn't the end of the world), I lifted heavy weights (for me) 3x a week, and I tracked everything I ate. I also weighed myself…

This is anecdotal, but I think it helps. I got the Depo to tie me over until my scheduled Nexplanon insertion. I was on the pill, but my blood pressure increased (thankfully, after coming off of estrogen my blood pressure went back down to normal), so my doctor recommended progesterone only. The first month after Depo, I…

For the love of all that is good and sane, ignore steve. He's giving medical advice online (which in itself is frowned upon) and it's HORRIBLE medical advice on top of it. Source: I'm a lowly 3rd year medical student But please, see your physician if you have any questions

What time do you go to bed? I wake up at 4 to workout at 5. But I'm always in bed by 10pm the LATEST. I try to shoot for 8:30, but life happens. I too need a lot of time to fully wake up which is why I set my alarm for 4. That gives me time to drag my feet, make coffee, and enough time for the coffee to kick in. I'll admit…

4-5 days a week, usually only 4 days. 45-60 mins

I too, love cheese. I eat it almost every day AND I have the full calorie, full fat version if possible. I actually get upset if I accidentally buy low fat cheese. 1 oz of cheese is typically 80-120 calories. I'm sure you can fit that in somewhere. Don't eliminate things you like! Just be sensible. Easier said than done, I…

Right now: Talenti Salted Caramel Gelato Talenti Double Dark Choc Gelato Normally Those two above plus Talenti Meditarranean mint, Hagen Dazs white chocolate raspberry truffle, dulce de leche, etc. There was a time when I couldn't keep any ice cream, chips, cookies, etc in the house. Resisting temptation was very hard for…

I wake up between 4-4:30 to go workout from 5-6. I'm not going to lie and say it's easy. It is tough, and there are days when I'd rather hit the snooze button. But the thing that helps me is once the alarm goes off, I'm out of bed. No hitting that snooze button or I'll be able to rationalize my way out of getting up to…

As I am currently on a Bones marathon. I was totally expecting pictures too!

Definitely not a "clean" eater. When I did attempt to follow "clean" eating, I'd lose and gain the same 10 pounds. I just can't give up certain things. Once I stopped putting food into "good" and "bad" categories, and just watched my calories & macros, the pounds came off, and I'm now at a weight I haven't seen in years.…

If you're on point with your diet, you'll still lose weight. I'm doing starting strength and my cardio consists of a 10 minute warmup on the treadmill (at 3 mph) and chasing my dog around when she wants to play. Otherwise, my exercise is purely in the form of lifting. In the past two weeks I've lost 3.2 pounds, and I'm…

When I was 216 (and I'm 5'7 also), my BMR was ~1750. I'm guessing 2500 is your TDEE not your BMR. Weight loss isn't linear, it comes and goes, and as you weigh less, 2lbs a week is harder to achieve. 1lb is more realistic and honestly less stressful (in my opinion). Plus when I do get that rare 2 lb in a week, it feels…

You look amazing, Congrats!

I like the idea of going through clothes for donation and letting her take what she wants. Even though you mean no harm, it does hurt. I won't say offensive since you're friends, but I've been there. My mom lost a lot of weight 2 years ago and gave me all of her too big clothes. I knew she meant well, and I did appreciate…

TDEE - 20% is at the top of the list. No more deprivation diets. I've lost the most weight since I started trying 3+ years ago and I'm not hungry all the time. Also: Inches lost > pounds lost. In the end, how I look & feel is what matters most, not what the scale says Lifting heavy weights = looking and feeling strong &…

It's not going to happen. 1. You're a woman. Unless you have a huge hormonal imbalance, you have anywhere between 10-30x less testosterone than men, which is what is need to get "bulky". And even some men have problems getting big, which leads me to my next point: 2. I'm assuming you're eating at a deficit, so you're not…

QFT My roommate and her boyfriend did one. They spent ~$70 a day for both of them. x3 days = $210 (or $105 for one person) for 3 days. That's a whole month of groceries for me.

Congrats, you look great!

The main thing for me is if the food I eat is really greasy, it shows up on my face. I'll look like I took a bath in oil. And of course the subsequent acne breakout. Which is enough for me not to eat greasy food in excess.

Lol so much this. I went to Vegas for my birthday and was quite content to not eat a lot because food was expensive, and I'd get a better buzz from less alcohol (which was also expensive)

Seeing this thread has made me realize how long I've gone without a full out binge, and makes me quite proud of myself. I've had days of overeating, but not binges like I used to. It would typically be: Afternoon: A ton of chinese takeout. And not the "healthy" stuff. Orange chicken, ribs, lo mein, fried rice. Then I'd hit…

I wouldn't say it sucks. Not at all. It's actually quite awesome. I do notice I am cold more often though. Before, I used to always want the AC on, now the vents are closed in my room and I still sleep with a comforter and sometimes an extra blanket. The upside? The electricity bill is lower! Clothes that don't fit are a…
