Oh WOW, what a difference!

just beautiful!

well done! what a pathetic guy, sad really. naturally he probably ****** his pants when you told him off.

you look super cute! and congratulations on becoming a runner! :)

:noway:

well done!

Alright, thank you! Most of you seem to be in agreement that I should up my calories a bit. I will think about doing that! Also, how much would you say it matters how "clean" your calories are? I've been eating 80-90% clean, and 10-20% junk. Do you think I'll have to do even better if I want to achieve that really lean…

hey, sorry to hear what you've been going through. unfortunately, though, unrequited love happens to most of us, at one time or another. but even if you don't believe it now, you will eventually meet someone that cares for you and loves you just the way you are. if i were in your place i would probably distance myself from…

"starvation mode" is some kind of mfp-related broscience - god knows who started it. remember auschwitz? now those people were in starvation mode, and not some girl eating 1200 cals in hopes of fitting into new jeans. come on. however, a lot of people that have problems losing are pushing themselves to eat a very…

it might for some. genetics seems to play a big part in who looks older after losing weight, and who doesn't.

1. play the long game - focus on changing your mindset, first and foremost, rome wasn't built in a day 2. no cheating - and if you do cheat, remember that you're only cheating yourself 3. exercise - it does wonders for your body 4. no starvation diets - they make absolutely no sense 5. enjoy the process, your new body and…

This.

I try to eat a minimum of 1800, and I'm planning to up that minimum to 2000 soon. I'm still losing but I have a long term fitness focus to my journey. I do weight lifting about 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week. I'm always looking for supportive like-minded friends, so anyone that fits the bill can add me! Great…

I'm 5'9 btw

I started at 171 and got down to 149 in two months, doing mainly swimming in the beginning. I eat about 20 percent below tdee. Swimming is a great way to lose weight and build endurance! Best of luck to you!

Well done! Great post! (I'm so tired of all the broscience when it comes to starvation mode)

It's funny to see that her biggest, most vocal, critics seem to be her 'peers' (but that's hardly surprising, on the other hand)

It's great!

Haha!

I have a similar problem with my knees. After I started doing weight lifting it started getting really bad. A lot of people (including a doctor friend) have suggested fish liver oil. I just started taking it so I can't testify to the results but it's worth a shot. Also I stopped doing the exercises that I linked with the…

I actually think I'm saving money! I haven't really done the maths, but since I started this journey I've really cut back on going out to restaurants for lunch and dinner. Some weeks that was almost a daily occurrence. The gym membership I've gotten is paid by my company. I have bought shoes, clothes and other sporting…

looking good!

Thank you for posting an amazing story! You look great and I can imagine you feel great too! :)

love the link! thank you! :flowerforyou:

You should totally do it! Even the fact that you're thinking about it is inspiring! Life is long, and you shouldn't stop learning or trying to better yourself just because you've passed your twenties! Good luck, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

gosh, i find it so difficult to label myself! in my own mind i probably think of myself as 80-90 % lesbian and 10-20 % straight. i've only ever had serious relationships with women though, and that's how i think it'll stay. but i try to keep an open mind! i usually tell people i'm 100% gay though - 'cause it's much easier…

wow, i love your stories! so glad i started this thread!

totally in! great idea! :)

oh, love the stories you guys! you made my morning :) unfortunately, i don't think i have that good of a story to tell myself, since it's quite ordinary. but here goes! i met my current girlfriend at a club. i was on vacation from work, and was visiting a friend out of town. we decided to go to a club downtown. when we got…

Of course you can drink, a lot of drunks are really skinny ;)
