I am from the philippines and I love sweet tea! LOL what I do is per glass, I use a bag of green tea or earl grey depends on my mood, 1 tsp brown sugar (15 calories) and a tiny squeeze of lemon yumyum. It might not be like the one you're used to but it's a good substitute. I love Arizona's sweet tea!

Why so serious

I am sorry for that :( well, as you've said you are likely an emotional eater, I suggest that you channel all that energy to something productive. Get a hobby or meet new people, hang out with your friends a lot, get into sports or music, do something tedious yet productive so that all the emotions will be channeled into…

Nope

Sneak out while mumbling some pink panther tunes.

Thanks you guys :flowerforyou: :)

Thank you so much :) I will try to do it gradually and maybe sneak in low impact workouts when I can eat properly already. I've been in bed for 3 days now and my face is still really swollen. Thank you so much :flowerforyou:

I am super hungry

I dont think so

Thanks you guys, I agree that I shouldnt do any strenous activities that's why I was asking for workout suggestions that doesnt involve strain on the knee. I'd love to swim but unfortunately I live in the city and public pools around here are kind of a no-no :( upper body training sounds great though! Maybe some ab…

Wow that is a good observation. You're right. Most of my friends dont have the time that I have to try keeping fit and it really might be a peoblem on their side when they see the progress I make, especially in just 6 months. Hats off to you! You look great :) and you have a very cute baby :)

I havent been logging correctly the past days lol I'm on a week break so sometimes i log in some meals and then dont log the rest, so yeah :)) I'm definitely eating more than I should though for the past days. That's why I'm not logging it all because I wanna give myself a break since I hitted a plateau and I really…

Thanks you guys, I really appreciate you all for sharing your stories. I am happy to know that this might be just a phase and it is a matter of "getting used to". Thank you <3

Not really. I love dreasing up and I am having even more fun dressing up my new body, I love fashion and putting on make up, that isnt really the case for me :) :flowerforyou: that's why I feel bad because I feel pretty and I feel like I look better now but the people around me tell otherwise :(

I just did and found that I lost an inch around my chest :( sad but at least there was a loss lol and in my waist I lost 0.5 inches as well in my hips. Thanks for the tip! I'll use the tape measure instead

Thank you :) I am eating a deficit and so far only lost 2-3lbs now I'm not so sure if my routine is still effective

Yeah that is what I am hoping to hear. I regularly workout and it's kinda unusual to not see the scale go down mainly because I was used to the numbers going down when I had lots of excess weight

The reason for this is because sometimes I just eyeball my food when I dont have time to measure, which is most of the time recently. LOL. I keep a high "remaining" number because I know in myself that I didnt measure and you're right, i'm not so sure about the burn i get from walking because i dont have my HRM with me so…

THANK YOU SO MUCH :flowerforyou: unfortunately my belly is definitely a pooch LOL without pants it looks even bigger :)) but i'm happy it decreased significantly.

I value every single one of your inputs, thank you so much. Clearly I should ditch the barbie weights lol :)) Anyway, I'll start to incorporate heavier weights to my exercise routine. Would it be necessary though to decrease the cardio along with it? Much as I hate doing cardio, I love the effects that it brings.

Idk honestly. Lol. I'm quite disturbed by the belly fat. Not sure if it's necessary to lose 10lbs or what. My goal is to just get rid of the last bit of belly roll.

The word jiggle is funny :laugh: anyway, I'm scared of adding weights. I might bulk up or something. I only use 5lbs dumbells. Not that I'm saying I'm not open to it, it's just that I dont know if I should do it or not. Personally, I enjoy strength training than cardio so if you'd say that I should decrease the cardio and…

Thanks you guys :) I was just starting to get worried because I might be taking it too far or something. I know in myself that I am living a healthy lifestyle but with everybody starting to nag me about getting too thin I'm starting to think that maybe I have body image problems which might lead eventually to a disorder…

Height: 5'7 Weight: 129 Bust: 35 Waist: 27 Hips: 37 My tummy is wider than my hips so I am wanting to get rid of that last bit of love handles

FINALLY. THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTIONS! I'm a spoooooooooon!!!

I believe you because you look great! I allow treats too! As long as they dont compose most of my cal intakes :) I dont think a diet that is too restrictive can bring about the effects that I'm wanting to see in myself :)

Thanks! It's super yummy :)

Okay, no red cabbage for sure! How about like Napa Cabbage? :D Thanks I'd love to see your diary ♥

Looks like spinach is a really good choice! Anybody used cabbage? :D

I don't wanna give up carbs I'm happy that all of you said I don't have to I love my brown rice so much LOL
