It was about once a week but I got it to ten days. I try to keep sweets out of sight but at this moment I'm on the verge of getting a job and saving money while I live at home. Although my parents understand that I need healthier food and thus have added that to the grocery list ... they like their sweets. I try to keep it…

Bump? I know I'm not the only person with this problem.

I am set to sedentary for both. The only difference is I ask fitbit for 500 calorie deficit and I tell MFP maintenance calories. But there is still a 1000 calorie difference in my weekly deficit. MFP says I ate 2500 under, while fitbit says 3500. I do wear FitBit for exercise since I don't have a HRM.

You slip on your floor because it's covered in your sweat. You're trembling afterwards.

The Fit Test works by going through a series of moves for a minute each. You count how many times you do the certain move for that minute and record it. Then you do the Fit Test every other week so you can see how you've improved. I love Insanity. I just finished the first month yesterday and am starting Recovery Week…

I quite agree. Hindsight is 20/20.

Good words to live by. Thanks all repliers.

Oh wow, didn't expect such words of encouragement :) Thank you guys! Unfortunately, the one-piece covers the loose skin on surrounding my naval region. That's why I passed up the bikini. I'm working on it though and keeping my fingers crossed for a miracle. Maybe with extra diet to lose what fat is behind the skin and then…

Post likes these make me scared to death to ever be a mother. I don't want this for my future kids. My mother doesn't want her children to dislike her ... but we do. For good reason, of course. I just don't want to become my mother.

Yea, it's crazy "Mother Dearest" always asks me to help her get "on track" with her diet when I come home from college but once I come home ... she never mentions it again. She swears up and down that she barely eats. A normal serving of whatever for lunch and then just a small snack for dinner because she doesn't have…

Well, let me give a more specific example. I eat 2000 calories and workout enough to where I burn 200-500 calories 5 times per week (not eating these calories back). Would this help in losing fat but decrease the amount of muscle lost with the fat? This would mean that I would be burning off at least 1000 calories to at…

I'm sorry she did that to you. I think the main reason my mom never really made comments when I was big was because she was big too. Now, I've lost a lot of weight and she's still where she's always been so she makes comments about being "too skinny" or makes comments about being obsessed and such. Whatever, I know people…

Me and my sister don't take it either. That's why Mom will go on and on sometimes about how her daughters don't like her. Well... she didn't give us much of a choice. Can't help it if you treat your oldest daughter like crap and then have a ball and chain on your younger daughter ... who is an adult. She's the victim…

Would it work well if you ate at maintenance and created your deficit through exercise? Or do you have to eat at a deficit too?

Yea, she's always had a rather strained relationship with my sister while she tries to control the heck out of me. But then she just doesn't seem to understand why I'm moving 4 hours away from her.

misskortney: 170? BTW, love the dress :flowerforyou: I'm 5'10

It's ironic that you ask that because I've read "Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers" and I've been told by several people that my mother has to have Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Borderline. Double whammy.

WishfulShrink: 105? BTW, love your username!

I mean, I am lucky in that she's the only person that tries to knock me off at times. She just gets really mad when I get picky about food and stuff. I guess she probably thinks that if I eat treats and stuff, then that means she can too. Doesn't work that way though. She can eat whatever she wants. I can eat whatever I…

Cocos_mum, I'd say about 120. Your abs look great!

amelie2011: I'm assuming you're under 5'5? I'm not sure. So 115? 120?

Get another goal. lol. I'm never done it seems. :laugh: Either that or talk to a surgeon about risks of cutting extra skin off. :grumble:

Fun sized Almond Joy... You should have seen what I ate the day before that Almond Joy. Cheat day = tons of ice cream... mmm mmm good.

Restaurant used to make me really anxious but now I just have my family or friends tell me where we're going several hours to a day beforehand then I just go to the restaurant's website and search their menu and nutrition facts. Most restaurants have at least a menu on the internet and I've only had to deal with a few…

TN driver's licenses don't mention weight on the actual license but when I had mine renewed it said 180. When I got my license, I was 225. When I had it renewed, I was about 180. I was really thrown off when they told me the weight cause it was correct and I was expecting it to be much higher.... Then I remembered that I…

Yea, mine is much worse when I lean over too but I'd like it to look "normal" when I just stand. lol. I think TurboFire is a mix of cardio and resistance work. I'm not sure but I guess I'll find out soon enough. I've gotten the most results out of 6 Week Six-Pack. I can feel my abs now, there's just still a layer of fat…

I usually take one (someones two) day(s) a month to eat whatever I want. I tend to gain about 10 pounds and it takes me that subsequent week to get rid of that weight gain but I don't really gain fat, it's just water. For instance, I had a "binge day" on Saturday and I'm already back to my pre-cheat day weight and…

Yea, she gets on my nerves too but I eventually came to realize that I push myself harder when I hear her. That was after muting her on 30DS, RI30, and half way through 6W6P and KB&T. I would usually let her talk until I had what she says memorized. Letting her talk means that don't have to keep a constant watch on what…

Were both of you pretty regular before too? The only other thing I can think of is maybe the girls I was living with threw me off but I lived with them for several months and this only became an issue last month.

My hair is naturally thin and my nails have always been weak so those aren't really "abnormalities" for me. I'm not losing hair though. My heart beat is fine and my resting heart rate is pretty low. Other than the late periods, I'm the healthiest I've ever been.
