Excellent analogy. Personally, since a raw small red potato, one that is 1 3/4" to 2 1/4 inch in diameter, contains about 119 calories, I don't find them worth budgeting for. I am no longer speaking to that whole side of the family.

I bought Silk Soy Creamer last week to try and break my Half & Half dependence. It said "Original" flavor, so I thought it was plain, but apparently the folks at Silk think the original flavor of soy milk falls somewhere between vanilla icing and cotton candy. I could have just juiced a freaking cupcake instead of having…

I would dubious about the figure of 36%. Body fat measuring techniques are tricky and the results aren't always accurate. Does anybody else think that maybe they weren't correctly using the calipers or something? 36% sounds really high to me- almost impossibly high.

edited bc you fixed the link :) Nice progress! I can def see a difference.

Yes! The calories are still there. Do ppl think that liquid cals won't "stick" to them as much as cals from solid foods? I hope someone from the pro-shake camp will step in and answer this puzzling question. I'd so much rather eat one of my 300ish cal mini meals! Why drink a shake when you could have a huge spinach salad…

Just met my goal of losing 100 pounds and I am super pumped! I am 36 and five foot eight and a half, for reference. I went from 238 in Jan 2012 down to 137 today.

That is the cutest outfit, EVER! Srsly, your weightloss is great too, but I am really taken by that outfit :) Perfect dress and excellent styling going on there.

For real though. I read all those calorie increase threads like "wuh what?" It is strange to see how many here hold religiously to this principle of starvation mode. If it were a thing, there would be no underweight people with eating disorders. No one chunks up from being underfed.

I second the Ellie Gould. But here's my fave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na1OdO30Yp8 It is especially conducive to shoulder dancing while riding a bike.

Don't freak out. It'll even out. Remember that women (barring apples) gain weight from the thighs up and lose it from the face down. Your skeleton and genetics remain unchanged. Just keep going and it'll even out. Maybe not the way you want...I started looking pear shaped at first, but as I got leaner, I got tiny butt to…

A. of course, wear whatever the **** you want, when you want. B. I thought I'd want to wear a bikini and short shorts and stuff at 155 lbs, bc that was my weight in high school and my body was bangin'. However, when I got down to 155 a few months ago, I realized that- being almost 20 yrs out of HS- my body composition is…

Totally agree! and furthermore, why would I trust corporations (for whom J. Michaels is the figurehead/spokesperson) who have been poisoning the food supply with garbage to tell me how to lose weight? Biggest Loser is one big commercial! She isn't there to tell you how to look like her. She is there to tell you to buy…

Thank you, Voice of Reason. OP, when you play into this competitive stuff, it will make YOU feel bad. It might make her feel bad, too, but at what cost to your own peace and contentment? I'd try to take a merciful approach, after all- it's HER issue, not your issue. You are doing great. Maybe try to see her as a sad…

all I can say is "Props" bc that choreography was so hard for me. You must be a former Fly Girl or something. I was so humiliated by my lack of moves that I downgraded to Polka Abs, which features a lot less hopping, popping, or locking.

Tuna salad with mayo? Probs not too healthy. You might wanna try Starkist Tuna Creations, which comes in a pouch and is seasoned, but not with fats.

I think you should wear A bikini, but not THAT bikini. If I saw you, I would think "that's pretty awesome that she is so comfortable and confident" and then "what a nice hourglass shape"... but then I would think "did she time travel back to 1995 to purchase that bikini?" bc sister, that suit is majorly dated-looking.…

I've lost 92 so far. Yesterday, I sat down at my Serger sewing machine with a big pile of underwear and took them in by two inches on each side. That was a pretty awesome moment. For context: Yes, I am poor and cannot afford to just buy new panties. :) You can do this. My biggest hurdle was overcoming a profound sense of…

I just tried the 0 fat Fage last night and it was not at all like sour cream. I had to scrape it off my bean tostada, which wasn't easy. A weird aftertaste lingered there. Oddly enough, I normally love greek yogurt- Oikos is like heaven in a cup to me. I think that, with the Fage, it wasn't the flavorless part I had issue…

I don't think the important question is whether you've kept them, but how they look post-weight-loss, regardless of cup size. Frankly, mine were awesome before, but after losing 85 lbs, they look like ****. Deflated, and even wrinkly when I lay down. I look hella fine in clothes now, and that feels great....but there will…
