Such a great thread. Ultimate proof that numbers mean nothing. I'm 33 years old, 5.3ft, 162lbs, down from 198, small frame. I used to have a goal weight in mind (127lbs) but I don't anymore. Depending on how I eat and train, I can look completely different at almost the same weight. I know how I want to look and the weight…

I don't know how I came across this post but it is exactly what I need. I do weight lifting and enjoy it A LOT. Feel like Wonder Woman when I pick up heavy stuff and repeat. But I also feel like I miss a whole part of being fit by not moving around my own body. I love love being strong(er) and improving that but I also…

Paris, France. Still looking for people in my area...

I take a strong stand against those surgeries. And won't rely on awful stories about how it can wreck your body and mind. What you have to consider here is not what surgery offers you but what you'll have to do to make it a success. To lose weight, at any rate, by any means, you'll have to reduce your calories intake to a…

This is so true. Real things at stake here. Last thursday, I ate 1599.93 calories and my hair fell off overnight. To make it grow back, I looked on the internet and did what it said (cause Interent's always righ). I did one push-up and a half (don't want to bulk, I'm a girl) facing the moon at exactly midnight. I was…

Thank you for this!! I get that it's not a 100% accurate. But if I can get an idea of how much lbs I need to lose that gives me an idea of time. Now, I'm gonna get myself a headache trying to solve the equation!

I don't "need" it. It helps me to stay focus. Don't know why. And I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I do know that I can't lose only fat. That's not my question. I'm wondering if I can get an idea of how long it takes to decrease bodyfat by one percent. It's a long shot and I'm pretty sure there'e no answer to this. But I had…

My friend was mortified at first. But, of course, we discussed what happened at length afterwards and she told me how good it felt to be acknowledged as a whole person. She had to hear the rude comment but it didn't go unnoticed. No awkward silence. The worst, she told me was when people pretend not to hear or shush the…

Actually that's exactly what the mother said when she told him that taking good care of loved ones is enough. I try to lure my friend into MFP but she wants to improve her English skills first.

Plus, I should have said how nicely she was talking to him. He wasn't being told off at all. She was explaining something very important and deep with a sweet voice, words he could understand and concepts he could relate to.
-
I don't think she was shaming him. She was explaining there's no wrong on being who we are and that there's always more to people than meet the eyes.

One night I decided to get rid of the worst foods I had in my appartment to start eating healthy the next morning. I plugged my bathroom sink with Nutella. I cried trying to unplugged it, feeling so pathetic. 20 minutes later I caved and ran to the closest drugstore to buy some more before it closes. It was 11.45pm. Being…

I agree with everything that's been said. If you don't mesure and weight your food and don't keep track of it, you have no idea about what your calories intake is. You're probably in for a big surprise. A lot of us went through it. We survived and reassessed goals and diet. Knowledge is power. You didn't gain that much…

Dear! Where do I begin?! The most amazing one, might not be achievable because I know it also depends on genetics, would be to get rid of rubbing thighs. I haven't walk comfortably with naked legs for 17 years. Then, I'd like to rock a Bodycon Dress. Especially a Hervé Leger one. (Yep, I know the price...) Hitting 23%…

Any jean that would me fit my butt without leaving a canyon between the fabric and my waistline. Still no luck, so far.

I didn't. Come on, who would?

Here's my stats: 33yo, 5.3ft, 148lbs, 281 days streak. I'm here all the time. Feel free to add me!!

Perfect plan!! lift 3 days, dance cardio 2 days and rest 2 days, maybe light yoga once
-
Any recommendation?
-
Thanks for your answer. I'll always have full rest days. Sometimes, I just need a little bit more than what I currently do.
-
Bump. Anyone?
-
Bump for inspiration, cause, well, you nailed it girl!!!!
-
Oh my God I don't know how to express anything that wouldn't sound awfully mundane or that would bring you some comfort. I'm really sorry for your loss. There's no words for what happened and I really hope you'll feel better soon.
-
Great job on recognizing the problem. You're gonna be fine. Once you acknowledge denial and triggers, you're on the right path!
-
You're unbelievable!! Thanks for sharing. You look awesome on every picture and you have a great taste for dresses. Where do you find those?! Congratulation, you have every reason to be proud.
