Wow. I'm gobsmacked anyone remembers that. :bigsmile:

You're so awesome that I am breaking my forum fast and using my first post of 2014 on you. I am so glad to know you here, and so glad you posted this for everyone to see. You have accomplished amazing things.

The problem is that your motivation is an emotional response to someone else, meaning that (like all emotional responses) it will ebb and flow, making it unreliable as an impetus for future dietary adherence. There's nothing wrong with feeling motivated; however, a feeling of motivation will not be enough to drive a goal…

Er... we are already friends, dork. :laugh: And thank you!

Thank you, and thank you everyone! I've seen too many success stories derailed by posts like Mulberry's and I hope everyone can ignore it going forward. I don't want to see this thread turn into a repeat of those threads. So yeah. Yay me. :laugh:

Exactly this for me, too

A girl on my FL went and spoke to a surgeon about doing a tummy tuck because she has lost over 100 lbs. He said you should wait until 18 months AFTER you have started maintaining to even think about it, because it takes 18 months for your body to adjust to what it will actually be. So for now, do some strength training and…

:laugh: Clearly a guilt reaction.

I suggest 5/3/1 www.strstd.com It's a four-day program using lifts very similar to what you are doing, and an excellent program for lifters who are at least at an intermediate level.

Delete your FB. Problem solved.

Juicing, working out, and eating clean are not required for weight loss. Knowing and consuming the proper number of calories on a daily basis for an extended period of time is. Use this link to figure out the proper number of calories to consume, using the "fat loss -20%" choice…

Also this. 1200 calories is not appropriate for most people.

Hi there. Let me brush your emotions to the side for some science. Eating 4200 calories in a single day is 700 calories PLUS 3500 calories. It takes 3500 calories ON TOP OF YOUR TDEE to make you gain one pound of fat. Your TDEE is far greater than 700 calories. Thus, you will not gain one pound of fat. Whatever the scale…

One other thing: based on what you have said, you may need to consider the possibility that you don't actually have the body that you want, currently hiding under what little you have left to lose. If you lose 5 more pounds, you may not look substantially better. In that case, and especially if your body fat is under 20%,…

It depends entirely on your body fat percentage. If you are 135 lbs and 23% body fat, you have more fat to lose than someone 135 pounds and 17% body fat. In the first instance, you would need to lose 9 pounds in order to be the same leanness as the second person. Women should not go below 15% body fat, as they risk…

I think there's a major mindset problem that most people have in believing that they need to feel motivated in order to work out. Feeling motivated is an emotion, but why would you let an emotion dictate whether you do something that you need to do? Look at it this way: would you skip work for a few weeks if you didn't…

GOOOOO SARA!

Try it for a month, and weigh yourself at the end of the month. If you've gained, you'll know it was a bad idea.
