How many calories do you usually take in? As you get smaller, you have to decrease the amount of calories you're eating to get the weight to come off. You said same diet, so I'm assuming the same intake. Using myself as an example, the calories I'm eating now to lose 1 pound a week (~1900), is what I'll be eating to…

"Only 3-pound weights," Tracy says. "No woman should lift more than 3 pounds." I can't get behind this. If her DVD gets you moving, so be it, but her advice is horrible.

I'll take some pictures later, but as of now, my measurements are 36-31-44. Each thigh is 27 inches. Because of my waist, I can't wear size 16 pants because they'll fall off, and even 14s are loose now around my waist and I must wear a belt, but they are tight around my hips and thighs, so a 12 isn't going to happen. I'm…

After months of being a chicken and avoiding the testosterone haven known as the weight room, I finally started SS today. I've used dumbbells before, and would use the weight machines that were near the ellipticals and treadmills, but I never stepped foot into the weight room because "OMG look at all the huge guys" I did…

As everyone has said, pictures are a huge part of seeing progress. I've lost 23 pounds so far and at first I couldn't see a difference, and honestly was starting to feel a little bummed. Even though the scale showed pounds lost, and the measuring tape showed inches lost, I felt like I looked exactly the same. I looked at…

I was once on the 1200 calorie train. Lost and gained the same 10 pounds over the course of 3 years (Ate 1200 for a few weeks, became depressed, grumpy and miserable, binge and eat everything in sight for the next few weeks. Rinse, repeat). I found MFP, followed IPOARM and found out that my BMR is actually ~1700. Bumped up…

I think this covers just about everything.

I don't really, but after reading this I guess I'll be more aware that someone might be judging me for the ice cream & diet soda I'm buying and feeling smug, without them knowing that I buy 90% of my fruits and veggies at the farmer's market. Still gonna keep buying ice cream & diet soda though.

You look fantastic!!!

I'm lactose intolerant and I still drink cow's milk. Of course it's the Lactaid brand, but cow's milk nonetheless. I stick to 2%, I never liked the taste of anything less than that, and whole milk is cool, but I've been conditioned to think full fat = bad. I'm slowly coming out of that line of thought. I'll occasionally…

You can also find 30DS on Youtube. I bought it before I found this out... but it's nice if there's ever a time I don't have internet connection

I'm the last person to ask about products hahaha. I'm a product junkie to the core and my bathroom is overfilled with hair products. But with all that said, I love Bee Mine Products, especially the curly butter for twist outs. And they smell so good! And they use natural & organic ingredients if that's important to you.…

Actually you're wrong about oxygen. Oxygen exists (in normal conditions) as O2. If it's a gas, it's O2 period. The reason we don't die from it is because atmospheric air is 21% oxygen, not 100%. (the majority is nitrogen, at 78%). But to stay on topic: mmmm MSG

My band size has gone down, but I'm still the same cup size, which still means I'm losing from my boobs too. I used to be a 38D, now I'm a 36D. Before I gained weight I was a 34B. I get what you mean though. When I was gaining weight, it was like, ooh I have boobs now! But I don't mind that they're going away slowly.

I used to hate grapefruit because I ate it like an orange and that fibrous membrane-y part is bitter. But my friend introduced me to eating it with a spoon, and now I buy a huge bag of grapefruit!

Wow. The hate women are receiving from other women in this thread is unbelievable. You guys need to hang out with some new women. If you think other women hate you without more evidence than "oh she gave me a dirty look", I believe the problem lies within yourself, not them. This is not high school people. My default face…

Cut it off! I'm just kidding. I've never been the press and curl type - I either had a relaxer or an unpressed natural. There are a ton of websites with cute hairstyles for natural hair - youtube would be the first thing I'd check out. Me personally I just live on wash and gos, so easy and low maintenance. Also, what you…

I have so many I don't even know where to begin. I have a 5 month old maltese, and she loves having her belly rubbed. Except I'm not allowed to stop until she says so (which would be never). If I do, she will grab my hand with her mouth and "gently" bring it back towards her belly. She's a huge fan of apples and sweet…

Anything "lean cuisine", or "eating right". Or frozen food in general. I used to consume those every day. Thought I was doing myself a favor. And they're so expensive! Low fat anything. If it's not already naturally low in fat, slapping "low fat" on the label guarantees that I won't buy it.

It might work against you. I know that when I don't eat all day by the time I do get to eat, I'm super hungry, and tend to not make healthy choices and I end up overeating every time. Why not try to eat some light snacks throughout the day to keep yourself from becoming too hungry? Like try having some soup before going…

Same here!

I'm 5'7. Gender: Female Highest weight- 220+ lbs Current Weight- 195 lbs Lowest weight- 7 lbs 12 oz (but as an adult, no idea. I stopped weighing myself once I got to college) Ultimate Goal weigh- 145ish I have a small frame and I could go quite low just fine, but I really want to put on muscle, so once I'm done losing the…

My morning coffee helps me with this! But during the time when I swore off all caffeine products (lasted about one miserable month, don't know what I was thinking), drinking a lot of water and making sure I got my 25 grams of fiber. Another thing that gets me going is exercise, especially a moderate - high intensity cardio…

I was a secret snacker also. When eating in front of other people, I made healthier choices because I felt like I was being watched, but once I was alone - just crap, crap, and more crap. When I lived with my parents, I would hide the wrappers, containers, etc in my room under my bed or in my drawers, my car or throw them…

I saw that and honestly I was astonished. I mean she was an athlete before, so that may have given her an advantage, but 19 pounds of muscle in 6 months (or 3 months according to the biggest loser) is incredible, especially for a woman. I mean she looks good, but 19 pounds of muscle? In a woman? In that short amount of…

I rarely get sick too. My immune system is quite awesome. No detox needed. I've never even had the flu (well maybe when I was a child, but children are just walking germs). Didn't start getting the flu vaccine until last year, but only because it's mandatory for us. I just make sure I wash my hands a lot. Now that my…

Pancakes N' Bacon cupcake. The best thing I've ever eaten (besides ice cream).

I had no idea until this thread. Ad blockers are awesome.

Carrot - and I haven't eaten those in a while. Not a huge fan. And here I thought my mind was impenetrable - time to go adjust my tin foil hat and antennas.
