You blood panel doesn't tell you how much pressure is being put on your joints, or what visceral fat is doing to your organs.

Fat women have the right to feel good about themselves, just like everyone. However they need to stop "normalizing" being overweight, glorifying it even. First of all they are shaming every other body type while whining about being body shamed which is beyond annoying. And second of all they are huge "health at any size"…

I paid to have my bf% measured in a hydrostatic tank. They are the most accurate method, so I figured it was worth shelling out $50 to find out for sure.

I went from a couch potato to half marathon runner in 8 months. :) it's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication, but you can do it.

Thanks! I decided to go ahead and give it a try :)

That makeup... Those eyebrows....

Believe it or not, lifting heavy is not the only way to get a great body. I am very proud of where I am today and I barely strenght trained at all until recently.

Subway doesn't count cheese or toppings in their nutrition PDF, idk if that helps.

There is a fine, fine line between confidence and narcissism. A good self esteem is healthy. When it starts to reach the point of vanity it becomes very un-sexy, not matter what kind of body you have.

I'm not sure about fibromyalgia, but my sister also suffers from an auto immune disease that causes chronic pain. One thing that has really helped her is kinesiotape. She puts it on her shoulders and knees and it does wonders for the pain. Also her physical therapist has her do contrast baths which have definitely helped…

Amazing! I can't wait to see what a vegan diet will do to enhance my fitness and weight. :)

I run 20-25 miles a week, lift weights 2-3 times a week, log everything I eat down to the last morsel, and keep hydrated at all times. ETA: Even when I was 70 lbs heavier I never had a big stomach so that's why I was able to get a flat stomach now. It never stretched out or had rolls, plus I have never had kids so the skin…

This spam popping up on the forums is REALLY starting to irritate me.

I have breast implants and they account for a whopping 1 lb of my weight. Unless their implants are enormous, they'ren ot going to be that heavy.

I wish I could see but it's blocked on my work computer. :( I'm 21% though, someone tell me the reference is good! Haha

THANK YOU!

I only date older men ;)

I do understand this. For some reason seeing that red number makes me feel really really bad. :( I know it's silly but it really does get to me!

Well maybe you don't need to fuel during your run, but are you eating enough in general? If you're not fueling your body properly then maybe that's part of the problem. What's your calorie goal?

I'm 130 right now and would like to get down to 125 and lower my body fat %.

I seem to be the minority here, I LOVE cardio and hate lifting haha. I run 20-25ish miles a week including some hill and sprint intervals on top of lifting 2-3 times a week.

The thing about this process is, you have to get out of the weight loss= success mind set. If you focus on being healthier instead, you will see improvement every day and be much more motivated! Focus on improving athletic performance and eating healthy, and the weight will fall off on its own. :)

I had a breast augmentation after reaching my goal weight, I'm getting a new tattoo on Friday, and I'm putting more effort into doing my hair and makeup in the morning.

Maybe I'm just weird. My TDEE is 2100 according to online calculators but I have found it to be over exaggerated in practice.

I suppose if you were really active 2000 calories would be reasonable, but the majority of people don't make an effort to be very active outside their everyday lives. It's confusing because there is no disclaimer saying "2000 calories a day if you exercise". lol

Pizza is an important part of a balanced diet. :)

Haven't tried this one, my favorite JM is the banish fat boost metabolism video. It's killer!

I love this group!! Half marathons are the longest race I plan on running, it's the perfect mileage for me. :)

This is why I strongly prefer fullyrawkirstina's channel for 80/10/10 videos!

He has no talent and I'm sick of hearing about him, but I do feel bad for him. He will never know what it's like to be a normal functioning member of society and is on track for a total melt down.
