  • Well, you can either take the cake and while no one's looking, dump it in a plant pot (or the trash, whatever). Or, just tell your sister you'd rather not have a store-bought cake.
  • I truly originally first started when I hit 204 pounds. I was in shock. I looked in the mirror and said 'NOPE you have GOT to go!'. So I spent ages researching the healthiest and best ways to lose weight, and after I completed that, I found an app called MFP and so far it's been my best buddy (no matter how many times I've…
  • I drink Vi-Shape. I think you have to get them online but they taste really good. I can't describe it, they're really smooth though. You can add flavor packets if you don't like the original flavor. The flavor packets come in chocolate, strawberry, and other flavors. They're only 90 calories for one serving too.
  • *Drink a lot more water *Drink protein shakes, they'll help keep you full *Try eating 5-6 times a day (small, not normal sized meals). It'll not only frequently fill you, but it'll boost your metabolism *It might just be me personally, but I find when I eat breakfast I don't get too hungry until it's actually time for…
  • My family does the same thing. I lose weight and they all lose their minds for whatever reason. Apparently I'm starving myself because, there's no way you can eat and lose weight, right? (Sarcasm<_<) So, as long as you're doing it healthily, your goal isn't totally unrealistic (like your BMI would be under 18.5), and…
  • The calorie goal given by MFP already has the deficit calculated:) I personally try not to eat away the calories I gain from exercise, but there's absolutely no harm in eating those calories. So, if you eat 1,350 but your goal is 1200, you can burn 150 calories to make up for overeating. All exercising really does for your…
  • They are really good for you, but just like any other food, they have to be eaten in moderation because of said sugars.
  • If you're not ready to go in a public gym yet, then don't:) If you have extra money, invest in a used (or new, whatever) treadmill or other exercise machine until you're happy. Otherwise, find videos on YouTube such as Blogilates she's AMAZING. You have a professional fitness coach in your own home for free. How cool is…
  • 'How long did it take you to lose 10 pounds?' I just hit this mark, and it took me a couple weeks-ish. 'Can you recommend any exercises' No exercises in particular but there's a girl on YouTube called Blogilates who focuses on toning (working on trouble areas, such as thighs). She has videos for practically every body part…
  • I personally think that while yes, the government is being pretty controlling, they are absolutely right on wanting establishments to provide nutrition information. I mean, it can also make it VERY surprising how much you actually are eating and can make you more accountable. I think at the very least calories should be…
  • NSV means Non-Scale Victory. So like finally fitting into these jeans you kept in your closet, improved endurance, running times are shorter, you don't sweat/tire out as easily, etc.
  • I eat around 100-220. A strawberry/yogurt smoothie (93 calories), tea (0 calories), and maybe some Krave cereal (120 calories) I hoard my calories for dinner.
  • *Eating 5-6 small meals per day rather than 3 normal meals helps chill out hunger. (also boosts your metabolism so that's a bonus) *Drink a lot of water. Like, you feel like there's more water than blood in your system? Drink two more gallons *Get like protein shakes or protein rich foods because it'll help fill you up for…
  • I'm a girl as well, in high school, and I'm only 5'0/5'1! I have about 87 pounds left before my goal.
  • There's this girl on YouTube who's channel is called Blogilates. She uses very little materials, and when she does, it's typically stuff you have around the household. (Chairs, stools, cans/other heavy-ish objects if you don't have weights). It doesn't seem that hard on some videos but once you get going it's just awesome.…
  • Aside from the abs as I perceive from your profile picture, I don't see where these people are coming from! I presume you don't typically show off your abs aside from maybe going to the gym/swimming, depending on what you wear. I'd probably gain some fat if I were in your position. That'll cover the muscle up a little bit:)
  • Water, strawberries/lettuce/pickles, yogurt, bread, sandwich meat, cheese, and any meat if there's enough money left over! I'm sorry, these are like my basic necessities that I cannot live without, hahaXD
  • If you take a cubic inch of fat, and a cubic inch of muscle, the cubic inch of muscle will weigh more than the cubic inch of fat. js
  • I went over by almost 300 calories, which isn't too bad since according to the 'If everyday were like today...' I still would've lost weight. I'm on a 1.5lbs/week. My deficit is like 500 calories or somethign like that.
  • It's probably muscle, because as you probably know, muscle weighs more than fat. Try more cardio rather than toning exercises to get rid of more fat if you wish to:) (although from your profile picture you definitely don't look 170 to me)
  • I should just try totally cutting that junk out!! Next time I go to the store I'll refuse to step into the chip/snack aisle (unless it's to get crackers, of course)
  • Doritos are my greatest weakness as well! Especially the Cool Ranch. We typically portion-bag ours too, but same with me, about the rest just being like 'waaait!'. I guess it's just a matter of trying to master self control:)
  • Yeah, my family typically does this with meats and dessert/snack things! It really helps control the eating.
