I'm 4 months PP on Sunday, feel free to add me. I have a successful history of losing weight with IIFYM and just started counting again, losing on 2195 cals/day. I bf and do have to supplement...I only get about 20 oz max a day for my little guy, but have not had any damage to the light supply that I do have since going…

Depends on how much you have to lose and your goals. Think about eating at maintenance and recomping if it's not a huge amount. You can't build muscle while eating at a deficit, but you can lose fat, while building muscle by eating at maintenance or small surplus. Just remember fat and weight are not the same. ETA: Try not…

Don't wait! I did~actually I didn't know how much lifting could or would do for my body or how much I'd fall in love with it. I lost most of my weight through just watching and tracking my food, weight watchers and 2-3 short days of cardio at the gym. After maintaining that for about a year, I discovered weights and whilst…

I'm on round 5...LOVE body beast!! Has totally changed my body!

in for the food and free t-shirts

OP, I haven't read through it all, but use that total *kitten* to motivate you beyond belief!! You need to choose the path and rate that you can stick to for a long term change, and good for you to be making it!! 8kg is still 8kg lighter than you were! Keep it up!!!

A little of all since I went from from 14/16's to size 2 over two years. I needed the money at times, so I sold the nicer/pricey things on e-bay and craigslist. I gave some good stuff to friends who were going through the weight loss phase. I donated a TON. I also put up a few bags of various sizes on my local group's page…

I don't find it socially awkward as it seems like a lot of of my friends are also still single and fabulous in their 30's. But, it's getting family awkward....my little brother and I are the last of 13 grandchildren to both get married and have children. Every get together, I'm asked when my boyfriend and I are getting…

This thread is a little old, but not so much that you might still check it :flowerforyou: We have a great "meetup" group in Schenley Park normally on Tuesdays you should check out. It's pretty intense, but you only compete with you and having others around makes you push yourself a bit more than you might normally. Go to…

Well, when I was 30, I dated, lived with and was considering marrying a 43 year old. For the better part, the age difference meant nothing to me until we broke up and I started dating someone my own age. I then realized how much I had hindered myself and my activity by dating someone so far out of my age group. But it…

In for all the inspiring awesomeness. And because I LOVE to flex!!! Happy Flex Friday ladies!!! (and gents) :bigsmile:
-
Only because there's this super cute guy I keep seeing at the local park, so after I do my full workout, I try to go to the park to walk him or jog with him, just hoping to literally run into this guy!!!
-
Casein right before bed does the trick for me on this. I love Optimum Nutrition chocolate or cookies and creme :)
-
Yeah....:noway: light weights will do nothing for you. Go heavy or go home. The worst advice given to me is the "stop lifting heavy or you'll start looking like a man".
-
LOL!! Well, there's something to be said for sense of humor and helping him get laid! Or punched!!

My personal opinion of this is that if you have it because you like the artwork or scene, then it has some kind of meaning to you. It's different for each person, but I do know a lot of really dumb kids in college that got tattoos because it was popular and they wanted to be accepted and got what everyone else was getting…
-
I LOVE quality tattoos that have meaning....I do NOT love really crappy ones that are because some kid just wanted to be a badass.
-
OMG, I damn near fell out of my seat laughing so hard looking at these!!! Except the keg stand...yup, that one seems quite normal and like something I might do! :bigsmile:
-
THIS is awesome!! And OP, I see no problem with it...If I could get a guy, or girl as may be closer to your case, to buy me free drinks all night, I'd be alllllll over that and probably go out more often!!! Drink up buttercup :drinker:

Some weeks I can manage us on $40, and some weeks it's closer to $80-100; what I try to do to keep things as low as possible is about every other week do the meat run to whichever of our stores is running specials and then portion and freeze. The other weeks in between I get the bare essentials of fresh fruits and veggies…

When I started, it took me about 20-25 lbs to really NEED new clothes or go down a size...but I was able at least try on in the size lower at about 15 lbs....in all honesty, I squeezed myself in like a stuffed teddy bear until I was busting seams at my highest weight (ya, so not attractive) so I probably DID drop a size…
-
I lost my first 40 lbs or so following weight watchers. I found it very useful in teaching me portion control as mentioned and it still allowed me to enjoy the things I love and nothing was necessarily off limits. That being said, as I got lower, I stopped losing on the points I was allowed, and once I switched to calorie…
-
bumping to hear some useful information on this -- i've been working hard to lower myself from a current estimated 21-23% to 18% goal and feel "stuck" also
-
LOL!! maybe i should?? tried to read it once and hated it...watched the movie instead, but that kinda blew too :)
-
Haha...no...I just think maybe I'm hitting some form of a mid-life crisis, just a little early :sad: I am thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's comments and to the woman who met/married the love of her life at 50...you made me cry :heart: in a good way lol

In -- I'd love to say I'm "adult enough" to say SURE!!!! But...:explode: :noway:

in for the awesomeness!

A lot of great advice here...and I don't know your situation, but I do know it's a lot harder when he's a good man, but just a ****ty boyfriend, versus he's a complete ****head. It's hard regardless, but you will overcome this and find the man who's right for you. Either way, I completely agree to block him and delete all…

You would think, but mfp has already come a LONG way from when I joined about 9 short months ago...so far, I haven't found a way to share a recipe...so...that being said...bump?? :drinker:
