  • Thanks, I do have a set of weights that I can use and I'm looking up youtube videos to help boots some exercise. Mostly this is gonna require lots of nutritional discipline...ugh.... I know right>? Stupid halloween candy...
  • No, I suck...lol
  • what if I sub water with beer???:drinker:
  • yeah I know... but its just so depressing. I can't work.I can't even leave the house unless someone else drives me and I just wish I hadn't gone out that one night. if I hadn't everything in my life would be on track and now its like nothing is. ugh!... lol at crawl to the fridge. yeah fridge ups followed by pizza…
  • I can relate. I haven't dated in forever because of this. Even as I'm losing, it's still not the same. I used to be a smoker. When i did work out, I could eat junk regularly, and somehow during the small weight loss times, I was tighter toner and skinnier looking all around especially the stomach, but now I weight less,…
  • The scale is irrelevant, ignore it. Just keep pushing yourself and the weight will come off. I've been in a weight loss plateau for like 3 weeks now. It's frustrating but it will pass. Keep at it.
  • The trick is to get an easy digestible food into right away after the workout along with a huge huge glass of water. For me it's usually yogurt and a large glass of water. That way you can curb the hunger, shower, get situated and then make proper eating choices for lunch or whatever like an hour later.
  • I love thrift shopping. I'm at value village almost every week and I have been basically renting clothes. Every month and a half I end up donating bras that are too big, jackets, pants, ect. It's an excellent place to get workout clothes, sports bras and all sorts of tops and cute dresses and the best thing is that thrift…
  • Diet and exercise. Literally, it is the only thing that actually works and as for the fizzy drinks. That's the first thing that has to go. Try cutting down week one and then zero it out all together week two, and no, I repeat NO diet soda! That's almost worse than the regular crap. I went though this too over a year ago.…
  • If your looking to get more protein I would definitely agree and high 5 that quinoa. I'f your trying to cut down or out meat, try Gardein meat products. Frozen soy and veggie patties , not meat but good source of protein. There's different ones. You can find them at almost any major grocery store. I've been using them…
  • For 192lbs, you are definitely NOT eating enough calories. You should be around 1600-1900 daily in order to be healthy and depending on your exercise. Otherwise your body will starve and you'll feel weak from lack of nutrients and food. Your body "needs" fuel... 1200 calories a day is the lightest calorie intake one could…
  • I don't know exactly how much your eating or what exact exercise your doing daily, but it sounds to me like you ramped up your exercise for about a week? It takes anywhere from two to four weeks to really see results from ramped up exercise and I would also make sure to be careful to make sure your actually eating enough.…
  • 1. Garlic 2. Quinoa 3. Whole wheat bread 4. Egg whites 5. Mustard 6. Yogurt 7. 1% milk 8. Pudding cup 60 calories 9. salad 10. Bell Peppers 11...al...co...hol...? lol!:drinker:
  • You look incredible!
  • Been looking over the posts, not sure what to say exactly. For sure every woman has water fluctuations. especially with hormones, ect, but maybe it's a small amount of water so you don't feel bloated or don't feel like it's water weight. Also , if your losing inches depending on what your eating you could be eating more…
  • Not gonna lie. She seems like a bit of a bit-ch. But you know, that's how it seems to be with me too. The second I try to rally an ounce of support, everyone and I mean everyone starts offering me the bad foods and trying to give me cheat days. I think it's an instinct that they have to keep me the same and also a possible…
  • As far as I'm concerned you can be curvy as a plus size girl or a skinny mini. Today I saw a girl who basically looked like a complete skeleton. No shape whatsoever. But I've seen other women her exact size with va va voom. It's all in the hips. I have a love hate with mine. Mine are latin for sure, so basically I'll have…
  • Stop drinking . Period.
  • teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a huge glass of water.
  • Well honestly he can cook for himself. It's not your job to be his mommy. If he won't eat what you eat, then he's on his own. Also, there's ways to spice up veggies with vinaigrette, so he should try alternative ways to include more veggies. I think he probably hates the idea of veggies more than he actually hates them.…
  • Egg whites with spinach and salsa or a piece of whole wheat toast. Oatmeal with cinnamon and fresh fruit. Breakfast shake. :smile:
  • my staple veggie is bell pepper. The red, the green and the yellow and the orange. They all have their own flavor and sweetness level and they are filling. 35 cal per pepper. So you can eat a quarter of different colored ones mixed and have a yogurt or a low calorie pudding. Pudding isn't healthy but if you can incorporate…
  • I used the raspberry ketones and green bean coffee extract for about 4 months. They did help but here's the the thing. It's a fat loss aid, not a miracle cure. I had to work out and eat healthy while doing it. It did help me and I would get a mega fat whoosh every 4 weeks but it took a full 4 weeks to actually take effect.…
  • Oh definitely. She always doubled or tripped portion sizes. She always made me clean my plate and veggies always consisted of a half a plate of fried buttery veggies with sauces on them. I never had a chance growing up. And I never understood why other ppl could eat what appeared to be the same foods of me and not be fat…
  • I don't think you understood what I wrote. My suggestion that she dump him for a fit fab workout guy wasn't in response to her need for a physical upgrade, it was in context to her emotional need for a spouse that would compliment and support her lifestyle vs a **** headed guy that thinks it's okay to ignore her, abuse…
  • I suffer from white girl *kitten* too... ugh! Yup, it's gonna take alot of lunges and squats to round that muscle out and up. Luckily it is a muscle group and you can build a butt. It takes and incredible amount of work. I still haven't gotten mine back but I see improvements...
  • I have horrific strech marks. Sad face...:sad: I hate them. :mad: I wish I could get rid of them. :explode: But I can't...:frown: So I have to just live life:drinker:
  • I think that dr assisted weight loss and perhaps exploring nutrition with an actual nutritionist is in order. Obviously somethings off here. Either you diet is not as healthy as you think it is and your sneaking junk in there somewhere or perhaps your portions of healthy food is too large... Or... Nutrient levels are off…
  • You can try talking to him but you married him the way he was, and for better or for worse that's what you signed up for. Your going through changes and maybe your feeling a little resentful that your making an effort that you will both reap the rewards of. Maybe you feel a little cheated because you want a slim and fit…
  • Every month, I play a game called hungry hungry hippo... And I'm the HIPPO! Oh crap do I ever get cravings. I sometimes gain up to 9 lbs in water weight and then If I'm lucky, after that monthly fiasco is over, I'll loose a pound or two if I still work out and eat healthy, but yes, sadly I can't control my sticky hippo…
