M.I.A. Paper Planes. A good beat to throw some hard hits to.

Go 5 lbs under your goal weight to account for replenished glycogen / water / more food in your system. Up your calories to maintenance in two phases. Don't get in the "now I'm skinny I can eat whatever I want mindset." That's what gets me, and I put on and take off the same 5 lbs every few months. Or you can just roll…

I put everything and anything on a salad. Combos of raw veggies, cooked veggies, dried fruits, fresh fruits, cooked fruits, nuts, fish, chicken, steak, cheeses, eggs, capers, olives, pickled things, fresh herbs, quinoa, rice, tofu, beans. Basically anything you can eat, you can put on a salad. Just think of the components…

Just tried this on for the first time. OP 12 dollar bikinis rock.

If you aren't dropping weight too fast (more than 1 lb per week) and you don't feel run down, it's not a problem. You can try drinking or calories if that's more convenient.

I wore a dress that I bought a few months back but never wore. When I bought it, it was 1/2 size too big. Surprise, it's now a 1/2 size too small. It was fun trying to breath sitting in that dress all afternoon. I'm just thankful it has sturdy stitching!

Boobs! Sparkle boobs!

Hmmmm... PMS. And I'm not playing with you, but that's interesting food for thought. I'm still sticking with cutting out the added refined sugars though. Albeit, I have been persuaded by your implicit argument that any benefit from it is more a mental discipline thing than a physiological one.

Keep yourself busy doing active things on the weekend. Eat the same as during the week. Think of it as changing a habit. Commit to making the change for 4 consecutive weekends, and see if your attitude towards eating and exercise over the weekends hasn't changed by week 5.

I'm assuming you mean you're cutting sucrose (refined table sugar). I'm 2-3 weeks into doing this. I was a big candy binger, and finally decided that I had to eliminate it altogether to get over my that bad habit. I cut out all "sweets" and anything with added sugar including some sneakier things like bread, jerky, pasta…

I don't care what other people eat. Also, you don't know what those same people eat the rest of the time. Maybe they aren't eating anything outside what you see them eating in the office today. It's fairly common for intuitive eater types to indulge for one meal or one period of the day then not eat the rest of the day. My…

Depends on the type of pain. If it's a type of pain I'm familiar with: soreness, explainable minor injury, etc. then I'll work out knowing what to expect. However, if it's an intense unfamiliar pain I will rest whatever body part is in pain, skip working out altogether if I need to, and seek medical attention if the pain…

Gotta go high fat if you don't want to be eating buckets of food. Nuts and olive oil. You can easily put 500 or more calories of nuts or olive oil into your diet and not even notice it. A little olive oil on your lunch and dinner. A few handfuls of nuts here and there. Done. And yes, fat is good for you. A diet up to 30%…

Haha. Current law student, and I have a whole foods a few blocks away. I get the smallest box and compress my salad down into it. When I dump it out onto a plate at home it piles up and covers the whole plate. Those are like the Noah's ark of salad containers!

Carrots. Some weeks I'll eat a 2 lb bag of em. So versatile and yummy.

I've been trying to kick protein shakes, but if you don't like meat much, and you have a sweet tooth, they are a dream way to reach your protein intake. My only suggestion for someone who is trying to maintain or lose is to get one with a higher protein content for lower calories. Some are designed for gaining and will…

Disagree. The lean look is hot to some. Goes with that little rocker edge you've got going on. Don't sacrifice your health for fashion though. Definitely stabilize your weight around where it is now, keep cycling, and find your maintenance, and I think you'll have that hot skinny punk rock thing going without looking like…

Ummmm... your gf is just worried you'll upgrade.

100% honesty. Your body looks healthy. Your face looks a little thin. Once you're on maintenance for a month or so, I'd expect your face to fill back out and lose the somewhat haggard look.

I'm 5'7" and at 125-130 and no one has ever told me I look underweight. "Skinny," a few times, "underweight" no, "great" all the time. Some people think it's just normal for a woman to get big past her mid twenties. It's not. I think the norm sort of depends on where you live. I live in CA, and the culture in beach towns…

I'm doing November in San Diego.

Tea with a little almond milk and stevia. I like cinnamon and ginger. Or mix some cocoa powder in with your coffee or some milk and sweetener of choice. I put cocoa powder in everything. It's good for you :)

Just toss it. You're mom's not standing over your shoulder, right?

Oh. Then they are way overstating the gardening calories. And... have you ever DONE manual labor... I mean really DONE it? You burn upwards of 1,000 calories per hour. Not 300 something.
