for the past few days i've been doing this: eating high protein, high fat, sorta low carb, and almost all of my alloted calories (which i found using a TDEE calculator, minus 15%). I lift weights and workout hard 5 days a week. I've noticed that my food choices are much different when i try to get in enough protein. and…

WOW!! You look amazing! Way to go!

Wow! Amazing job! Congratulations!!

Great job!! Congrats! :)

Wow!! Those are amazing results!! You are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for posting. I, too have 5 kids (4 girls and one boy)...and right now my initial goal has been to get down to 155. I am about to turn 31 in a few weeks. I have lost about 13.5lbs so far.....I can't wait to say I've reached my goal like you!!…

wow!! you have done an amazing job! keep it up!

Awesome!!

I, personally, do not have PCOS. I have a few friends with it, and because of them (and from reading) it seems a low carb diet can be beneficial. Not sure if you just try to stay in your calorie range or what, but I've seen a couple of ladies have great success doing it that way.

bingo!

yes! As soon as I read "step it up for the wedding" I was annoyed. EFF him. I wouldn't want to be seen with him at the wedding.

I don't know that I could stay around something like that for very long. And if I did, I would probably cuss him out multiple times daily. ahh marriage. Anyway, you're not the first person I've heard of losing a LOT of weight whose spouse basically turned verbally abusive once they succeeded. He definitely sounds insecure.

<popped out 5 babies. still waiting for all this money I'm supposed to have.....

i always used to pack my kids lunches. a few times, I was short on food and needed to shop, but wanted to wait one more day. i would BEG them to get school cafeteria food the next day. they did not want to. lol. so they would end up with a really random lunch instead. lol now we homeschool, and 9 times out of 10, they make…

lol

oooh angry drunks are the worst.

Yes ^ and not everyone agrees with the whole paleo/clean eating thing. i mean, i still love to have my ice cream when i can. sometimes i drink a diet soda. but what i've figured out is, i can eat a pretty good sized meal that makes me feel absolutely stuffed that is pretty "low" calories....IF I eat real whole foods. For…

increase your calories just a little. i was having the same issue (got to a certain weight and then the numbers just bounced up and down, but wouldn't go lower!) I increased my calories, 2 days later I was down 2 lbs lower than my lowest weight since starting MFP. then I lost 0.4 more. in the same week. going to keep this…

i would set myself as active, but then only log the exercise that i did that was really intense. like jogging, dancing, brisk walk/cardio. stuff that gets you out of breath and makes you sweat at least a little.

being "active" is what i'd choose. that should give you the calories you need, especially if you log other "planned" exercise and eat those calories back.

i second the apple with peanut butter AND the popcorn. Mmm Also, I love strawberries, fruit salad, watermelon, veggies and hummus, small salad, banana, pretzel sticks with hummus, hardboiled egg with salt and pepper, celery with almond butter/peanut butter, granola bars.

yes!

AWESOME!!

Even if your boyfriend didn't say anything to him right after it happened, or didn't create a scene or whatever.....that's fine. He should have went to him later, alone, and very calmly told him to stfu.

if anyone ever disrespected me like that, I wouldn't have time to ponder over it or wonder what this guy's problem was....b/c my husband would beat the **** out of him. At the very least, your boyfriend should be setting him straight by telling him to stfu. what does your boyfriend have to say about this?
