  • This thread simply rocks; I really love reading this.:flowerforyou: I might have to read it twice. I have to remind myself constantly that I need to love myself. I've gotten so much closer. :) And this just brought my mood up 100%, because I know that exact depression (on the opposite end, rather overweight and sank into…
  • Thanks to all of you guys giving advice! I'm at a calorie deficit to lose weight of course, but will this allow me to gain muscle as well? (I am doing about 50/50 cardio & strength each day) Should I put on more cardio until I'm closer to my goal weight? Also should I eat back some of my calories to help build a bit of my…

  • Thank you guys. :) I do feel like I'm eating too little some day, but I often add in snacks such as cucumbers and beans or a ham sandwich between my exercises. Thanks for the suggestions, guys, I really appreciate it.
  • Thanks for the advice. :) I definitely will set little goals each day for myself (unrelated to health, as you said) and see how that goes. The deadline is really for my own mental motivations.. I'm not going to beat myself up if I'm not exactly on that goal by the end of August, but I don't think it's necessarily too much…
