Mention BMI=Automatic fail. Its absolute nonsense.

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the unsupportive husband/boyfriend thing... To me it seems when a woman works out and gets healthy, its a total win for her man. He gets a hotter girl, with more energy, more sex drive, who feels more confident about her body and that leads to better sex. That confidence spills over…

Im just wondering why you chose 30 lbs? IMHO you should get your bodyfat tested by a professional or roll the dice with a home bf meter to set your ultimate goal weight. Otherwise youre just guessing.

You need to post more info..what face wash you are using, how often, and what moisturizer if any. As previous posters stated, some supposed "anti acne" crap is so harsh on your face it CAUSES massive breakouts. It took me a while to figure out what works and what doesnt. Now I use a combination of the proactiv knockoff…

I can't process this. Is he so insecure that he wants you to be unattractive to other men? You are a very pretty women.

Dude, that sucks. I've noticed couples often gain/lose weight together it only makes sense. This is the person youre cooking dinner with (or going out to eat with) it makes sense one impacts the other. im a little shocked at her actions with respect to your weight loss and I truly feel sorry for your situation. Hopefully…

If my wife loses 3 lbs I can tell. 8lbs I imagine they can tell. Looking at ourselves its very hard to differentiate between our mental projections of ourselves and reality. that's why it takes a picture of us (unflattering!) often to get things moving. I know that's the case with me. It would make sense that just looking…

THIS!!! I have a almost 3 year old---and I prepare most of his meals. i've found often (all the time) he doesnt eat everything on his plate so daddy finishes it up to not waste food. this...adds...up. Since joining MFP I've stopped that and Ill save his food for later or chuck it. If youhave several kids just multiply what…

I think you're being WAYY too hard on him. Most wives would be happy if their husband just stayed out of their way and didn't sabotage their diet (trying to her to eat out at restaurants, bring junk food in house, etc). I say when he is ready, and you start looking more sexy and other dudes notice..he'll get off his duff.…

My wife is a doctor. Its simple. Humans were not designed to consume refined sugar. it is a pharacuetical grade. Once you injest it, your blood sugar skyrockets, thus causing your insulin to skyrocket to allow your cells to take in the sugars. Just like any other drug (think alcohol), your tolerance to insulin builds if…

If your significant other isnt onboard..thats a bad sign.

Wow you look much younger in your final pic. Congrats!

MM hmm so how's that been working out for ya?

If you like whole, then drink it. Lowfat milk is a scam...the producers remove all the good stuff and youre left with crap that they charge the same as whole for.

I noticed all the posts disagreeing with me were from women. Which to be fair don't hold much water as you're not looking through a man's eyes. I don't hate them, I just did a study about their attractiveness WITH MY EYES. I'm not sure why (some) women are obsessed with skinny jeans. By their name I assume they are…

Its funny looking at your pics, my wife has almost identical stats as you. Same body type, age ht, wt. Yes, of course we can tell a difference!!

Until you realize that pictures on the internet are there forever. I has some shirtless pics of myself on a dating website when I was single, and one of my male coworkers whom I'd never met approached me in the lunchroom and told me his wife has my pictures on her PC at home. I took them down immediately. The internet is a…

As a dude I can honestly say skinny jeans look good on no one, ever. The taper down to the ankle highlights all the wrong things on a woman's body. Great job on the loss though. As you pointed out hubby will notice even if you lose a couple pounds. We just know better than to say anything unless we're sure!

Generally people don't make fat jokes on this board. It would kinda be an *kitten* thing to do. I'm assuming that poster was getting at the fact that since you have an abundance of healthy fat reserves, you body won't drop your metabolism into "starvation mode" until your bodyfat percent is down quite a bit. Reading you…

Unless you have extreme medical problems anyone who tells you not to lift isn't your friend. Period. End of story.

What's "too much"? 1 beer a day? 6? If youre onn a diet and drinking more than 1-2 daily Id say thats excessive. I love Sunset Wheat by Leinenkugels-but they are about 170 calories a pop. You could cut that in half drink a shot of (whiskey, brandy, etc) on the rocks. I like my cheapo E & J vsop its about 85 calories a shot…

THIS! If you really want to measure your progress, buy yourself a decent bodyfat monitor. I'm assuming most people don't want to lose POUNDS, they want to lose FAT! Look leaner, perform better, etc. A scale is only 1/2 the equation if that. Weight tells you nothing if you dont know how much % fat you are.
-
You are gorgeous! That's got nothing to do with anything, just throwing it out there.
-
I don't think anyone thinks like that. That's a bit of a self-defeating attitude. I think you're definitely on the right path with this website! Be hardcore about tracking everything you eat on here, even if you go over, then you can be honest about your strengths and address your weaknesses. I know, myself, a can NOT have…
