Ding ding ding! Yay for people that understand this movement. :) Smart girl. To you sir, it is you who needs to google the movement because YOU DON'T GET IT. If you think it's about promoting unhealthy behaviors you are a hopeless fool. Enjoy the view from up there though! Personally I admire people who are committed to a…

I have a headache from all the eye-rolling I did reading this thread. Talk of "normalizing" obesity. You cannot be serious. Spend a week in a 300lb fat suit and then get back to me about how normal you felt and were treated. A handful of fat actresses and fat acceptance advocates is not going to make being fat the popular…

That is seriously rude, clearly those unfortunate people have yet to discover the myriad advantages to physical activity! I'm trying to lose so that is part of my motivation, but I am also just downright happier and more energetic when I exercise consistently. I've noticed that certain people who know about my weight loss…

Wow. I never cease to be amazed by the cruelty some folks seem so delighted to dole out to others. I'm really sorry that you all have been through such things. And idiots out there still think shame is an effective weight loss motivation tool. Smh. I was pretty fat as a kid and I remember very distinctively my dad telling…

Point delivered...strongly. Lol. You win.

How ironic that someone with a profile picture of their bare midriff is telling others to "cover up appropriately". Just because you don't want to see something, doesn't mean somebody else doesn't. My man loves me dimples and all, would yours? Because we all get saggy sooner or later! Until then I'm gonna wear what I damn…

America doesn't have an obesity problem, we have a heart problem. And I'm not talking cardiovascular. OP, do you have any close friends/family that are morbidly obese? When was the last time you invited them out for a hike or included them in a healthy activity? To the man judging his "lazy" neighbor, how about you? You…

I'm glad you are caring for yourself better now. :) I can't imagine how difficult that would have been. Cheers to you for finding your way through it. I didn't mean to imply starvation mode does not exist, only that I don't think I personally am experiencing it at 1200 calories. I have decided to increase my calories,…

Thank you mischievous! Congratulations on all your hard work as well! I am in fact wanting to start lifting. My naive understanding is that one can't build significant muscle mass and lose fat at once, so right now I just do body weight stuff and use hand weights and resistance bands at home in hopes of losing more fat…

Thank you for the insight guys. I think I will go ahead and bump up to 1400/1500 for a while and see how things go. No sense in deprivation if there is a solid chance I will continue to lose at a bit higher intake. One consideration is, though I log honestly, I do not weigh my portions, so there is a possibility of…

Thank you ladies, and gent. Great info in the links, I really appreciate it. I suppose I'm unnecessarily anxious about changing what's working (thus far), but it makes more sense after reading the link covering tdee, my activity level has changed significantly in the last year. Thanks again.

Hi OP! I hear you girl, I have two and three year old twiblings and their father is gone for extended periods. You are not alone, although I know most of the time it prly feels that way! Here are a few things that help me get the job done. 1. Remember, weight loss really happens in the kitchen. If you are gaining it's not…

My own are 3 and 4 but I will say I'm watching my 8year old nephew for 3 days and so far he's gotten sniffly about 5 times. Lol. I think it's just his age and he gets tired and cranky sometimes like the rest of us. ????

In my humble opinion people can be just as attractive with extra weight as they can thin. Some folks' faces even look better a bit fleshed out! I'm afraid I've pushed my body too far into the unhealthy range to have the slightest hope of having a body the vast majority of peeps would deem "attractive", due to lose skin (If…

Hi Brianna! My highest weight was 310 as well! :) I've lost 96 lbs so far, believe in yourself, if I can do this anyone can! I used to feel it was a hopelessly long journey but now I feel so close and so much more capable of reaching my goal. Feel free to add me if you want to see how/what I eat and am working out. Below…

Sign me up for being bulky with muscle vs. this chubulk I've been carrying around. lol. I have to get creative with body weight exercises because I don't have access to a trainer or gym. I hope I will eventually because I'd love to get stronger and would definitely benefit from advice on form and access to weights and…

Lmfao @ those acting six shades of self righteous by saying they are never envious. Is it hard to be so full of crap? Lol. OP, just remind yourself that if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it's because it has been fertilized with bull****. ;) Everybody gets green from time to time, and I mean…

^Smart man. Thank you for saving me time by taking the time to write this out. I've felt as you are feeling OP, still do at times. It's human, it's okay...but recognize that you can practice reminding yourself that it's only your mind building it up as an issue. Remind yourself that you have value JUST AS YOU ARE, that…

rotfl!

Methinks some people are so judgy and vain. Sheesh, their shorts not morals or personality. My fiance is an adult so he dresses himself. Lmao

I'm not about to win any awards as a fashionista considering most of my days are spent in workout clothes (don't judge y'all, I've got toddlers to wrangle) but I like nice pinstripe or simple plaid (avoid super plaidy kilt fabric) shorts, the straight fit linen kind. Nike makes some nice ones, my fiance has a few good…

Rage Against the Machine

1) You are amazing, seriously, shero status 2) You are so not alone in feeling like this occasionally. 3) Methinks you deserve some type of pampering or exciting new adventure...mani pedi? New outfit? Hike a new trail? Hope you feel better soon!

Hmm, well, I'm already sexy as hell...so that isn't my motivation, lol, I workout for peanut butter and health, in order of priority. :)

I'm going to echo others here and share a few words that changed my life...you can literally eat whatever you want, just not as much as you want. If course it's good to focus on whole grains, veggies, lean protein/legumes, and fruit, but if you want to lose weight the only thing you really HAVE to do, is create a caloric…

Yeah the clasp is not very intelligently designed considering how pricy the thing is. I'd contact them.

Ah yeah, been there, but seriously, just go and I promise the feeling fades. Anyone judging is an unhappy douche canoe and most people don't even care/notice, they're doing their thing! Own that joint!!! Best wishes.

Oh PS I've lost 90 lbs mostly through focusing on healthy plant based meals, being conscious of how much I eat, and increasing physical activity (started very, very slow), don't give up, sounds like you're ready for this commitment. :D

Hey OP, good on you for researching different ideas and trying to discover what works for you. I'm what I call a flexitarian, but Id say about 2/3 of the meals I make for the family are vegan. If I may share a few resources that have been helpful to me, the vegan blog oh she glows is loaded with healthy and adventurous…

They are all gorgeous of course and it's pretty rude to call anyone a bag of bones, even if they are very thin, that's their business and it doesn't mean they are not beautiful. Wouldn't if be much more fun/interesting if there were a greater greater diversity in pageants? Where my short girls at? Where my chubby girls at?…
