I’m 32DD. I really like the VS Knockout and VS Incredible bras, with a preference for the Knockout because the bra in it clasps together in the front and then there’s a zip part to go over it. The Incredible has cups like the Knockout but closes all in one ... sometimes it’s a little harder. Other S-M-L sized sports bras,…

I imagine this depends on the person. I can’t have eaten at all, so I would tell you something ridiculous. Others can have just eaten and be fine. Google suggests 30 mins - 4 hours, which is quite the range. Although, the 30 mins seems to universally represent the “small snack” category

Short answer: CICO. Eat what you want but make sure you are in the deficit as set out by MFP. If you can, get a food scale and get in the habit of using it. That’s where I would start. Then you can tweak it based on how certain foods make you feel from a satiety standpoint. There’s no inherent need to cut anything in order…

Literally lost my 23 pounds, eating the majority of my food at night. Talking like 300 calories all day and then a thousand plus in dinner, ice cream, and snacks from 6pm to 10,11,12 at night. And if I’m feeling real hungry, waking up at 2 or 3 am for a nice snack. And have maintained my goal weight range for over a year…

This is exactly what I was going to say. Whatever time is a time that you know you will go, that’s the best time for you to go. I personally go in the mornings. I can’t work out if I’ve eaten, the gym isn’t packed that early, I’ve always been an early riser anyway, and I can’t get tired or come up with some other excuse,…

I haven’t truly logged in well over a year (I’ll log this smoothie here or that chicken spaghetti recipe there, just out of curiosity, but never the whole day), and I only weigh certain things just so they taste the same (for instance, my smoothies I know I want exactly 33g of protein powder, 113g of Greek yogurt, 90g of…

You want to lose the weight fast. But faster isn’t always better, especially in weight loss. In my experience, because I yo-yo’d a few times, weight lost fast comes back fast ... and then some. Instead of looking for a lose-weight-quick solution/diet, try a more sustainable approach. Think “lifestyle change” vs “a diet”.…

I love breakfast for dinner. Omelets are my go-to

Went to Disney for 3 days with my intern group. I ate so many bread rolls, cupcakes, cookies, orange creamsicles, and just food in general. I was wholly unsurprised when I came home with an additional 7 pounds. I think the only thing that saved me was the 12-15 miles each day walking around the park, and the 5K I ran in…

I like what's already been said. Start by getting a food scale and logging what you currently eat. It'll create a good habit for later, and allow you to see what you're currently doing and learn a lot from it. Plus, it starts the process with just a step into the pool, not diving into the deep end. Once you get into…

New Balance Fresh Foam Zante v3, because they chose me. I just recently "seriously" picked up running, and made the rookie mistake of buying running shoes online. I'm super flat footed, so I went for stability and got Asics GT 2000 4's. My knees hurt like crazy so I went to a running store and was told the shoes were the…

I don't know if I'm a "runner" per say. I like to run, but I only really just started in May. Before, I was focused more on lifting, and my cardio would include 1.5-2 mile jog on the treadmill. Mid-May, I decided I want to run a half in December, and I've been building my base and training ever since. I do enjoy running,…

Others have said it, but I want to say it again ... shoes. They make all the difference. I'm flat footed, so I assumed that I over-pronate and bought stability shoes online specifically for over-pronators. My knees killed. I finally listened to every runner ever and went to a running shoe store. Feet flat as a board, but…

Hey guys. I'll be running in my first ever half in December. A MFP member kindly pointed this group out to me, and since I'm lurking, I decided I would at least introduce myself. I'm a total newbie. My version of running has consisted of hopping on a treadmill for 2 miles as my form of cardio. I've never actually run a…

I'll be running in my first ever half in December. I've never actually run a race before, though I do have a couple 5Ks I want to do in August and October. Right now, I'm supposed to be building my base (I'm brand new to running at all, having just done treadmill for 2 miles every other day as part of getting my cardio…

Thank you!

Thank you all for answering my questions and giving me suggestions. I really appreciate it!

Mmm ... yes and no. No because overall, I'm just a leggings/shorts/sometimes jeans and tee kind of girl. It's just when I was a size 10/11 I'd wear shorts but they would ride up between my legs and I'd always be self consciously trying to tug them down or do a "waddle" so maybe they'd wiggle back down without me looking…

Congrats on your achievement :) I also was going to suggest NY&Co as a good place. Dress Barn could also be good. Then there's Macy's, JCP, Kohls too, just look for the curvy fit vs the standard fit

Oh man, I love peanut butter. It's one of my major weaknesses. PB, chocolate, and cheesecake will get me in trouble if I let them

I lost 23 pounds last January to April, which put me in my goal range. I've been maintaining since then and don't use this app as much, but it was super helpful in helping me see my current habits and form new ones when I started my journey. I credit it for me being able to maintain instead of doing the yo-yo stuff I'd…

1. I have so much work to do I've decided to do nothing 2. I'm debating whether to go to MMA fitness class today 3. It's 2 hours away and I've come home from class and gotten comfortable in bed

Everyone but me does this. My dad made a group and added me to it. You wanna know what my bracket looks like? The highest number team chosen from each pair. Think I had Gonzaga and NC at the end, with NC winning. I think. I don't remember exactly though. Lol

Right. He gives 0 flips and take no crap whatsoever

Yes! It seems to always come on at 6 in Texas, which is just about dinner time. Like just when I was about to stroll out my apartment and grab some MooYah .... :D

I read a lot. I played clarinet in band. In Texas, band is cool I guess lol. Oh oh, and at 18, I told my mom I was going to get my cartilage pierced whether she wanted me to or not because she didn't have to sign any papers .... And then I asked her if I could borrow her car to go get it. And then I asked her to come with…

Lol. Except that you essentially do the same thing in a different way. For one, I said to weigh the pasta dry and then cooked. Thats why there are two separate lines, one that says pasta dry and pasta cooked. And then went on to say that "for this fictitious pasta" that I just made up, the factor would be 2.093. Indicating…

Are you cooking the whole box and want to know how much you're eating in one serving? Here's an example: Serving size = 56g Whole box (dry) = 150g Whole box (cooked) = 314g 314/150= 2.093 That means the cooked pasta weighs 2.093 as much as your dry pasta. 56g (roughly 2 oz) x 2.093 = 117.208g. That means, for this…

If you find it acceptable for a meal, then sure. By that, I mean does it fill you up or were you hungry 5 minutes later, do you like it (taste-wise), do you like drinking your meals, is it something you can see yourself maintaining, at least for a while .... Did your doctor tell you you had to make smoothies, or is that…
