Haha I've had the same reaction from my siblings about the food I make! I know it can be frusturating when people complain about a problem yet don't seem to try and fix it. Hang in there, they're lucky to have you being supportive and even cooking meals for them (:

I get what you're saying, but there is a difference between constantly nagging someone to change their whole lifestyle and encouraging loved ones to get healthier. For exemple, my boyfriend is constantly complaining about how tired and run down he is. I know a big part of it is due to the fact his diet is terrible. I'm not…

Just finished the article. I think I love this man <3

You're right, there are some things you cant change about your body through exercise. Like your breasts (DON'T even get me started on genetics and boobs!!) but you can change many other things. Like your butt! Weight lifting is incredible. Before, I never had an amazing butt, it was average, not one that you would turn…

I don't log things, ever. That's not my confession, it's just the truth. I count all day in my head accurately enough that I never need to log anything. Buuut I refuse to count the calories if I eat something off someone elses plate. In my mind, they're free calories. Silly, I know.

As much as I outwardly try to convince and encourage my boyfriend to come to the gym with me and be active, part of me is always relieved when he delcines. I want him to get back in to shape but the gym is my me-time. It's my space where I have my own group of friends (finally ones we don't share) and my own time to unwind.

Okay, if you're weight training as often as you say you are than plateau's are normal!! You can be losing fat and gaining muscle and your weight will stay the same. The scale lies, you can be at the same weight for months and still be losing inches. I plateau'd for about 3months and then shot up 3 kilos in a week. I'm…

Aaaagh, totally with you on this one! I'm PMS'ing right now. Normally cravings only last a couple of days max for me but it's been 4 days now and I'm still always SO hungry (mostly for junk food)… My go to meal now is a peanut butter banana protein shake. I usually don't have peanut butter EVER as the one we buy is highly…

Likes dress up. And probably has a nice bum.

I've been a vegetarian by choice since I was 5 (: Couldn't go vegan though, I try it for a while and it's too limiting. I'm a passionate weight lifter and need my protein powder and eggs!
-
Aaaah, I absolutely love bananas… I eat around 5 a day. All fruit and veg are good for you!

I just noticed this thread and although it is a few months old, I have to comment. I did my research for over a year before buying a dermaroller. The short answer is yes, it will work. The reason creams have very minimum effect on stretch marks is because stretch marks are essentially scars, which are tears in the dermis…

I went through the same thing about a year ago. I started off on the chubby side so I wanted to lose weight. It becomes addictive the feeling that you know you're losing. It ended in an eating disorder for me too. I don't want to scare you but after months (yes, not even years) of restricting calories too much, I collapsed…
-
This is so weird, I'm going through the same thing! I'm vegetarian and am having some digestive issues lately and I think it's due to either lactose or gluten. As some one else mentioned, don't cut them both out at once! You won't know which is causing the problem and you'll be needlessly limiting yourself. I'm cutting…
-
If it's fat and lack of muscles that's the problem, read the link. If it's stretched skin, try a dermroller! I use it for my loose skin / stretch marks, and its' a miracle product. Do your research though, it's a slow process and it has to be done correctly! Overuse will defeat the purpose.

Like everyone else has said, it depends on genetics and other factors. Personally, I lose and gain very quickly on my breasts and hips. It's unfortunate because when my breast are at a size and shape I like, my hips are too wide and my pants feel snug. But when my hips/stomach area is the size I like, my boobs look small…
-
I agree that it's completely down to the individual to control what and how much we eat, but there is truth in the fact that the big food corporations don't care about our health. They'll market anything as healthy just to sell it when it's actually complete synthesised cr*p. Of course you need to take personal…

This.

I don't get the point of this post… Personally, I'm a vegetarian and have been my whole life for moral reasons. But for MY moral reasons, I don't expect anyone else to think or feel the same way. I just expect everyone else to respect my decision to not eat meat as I do their's to eat it. Who cares if you ate meat? I feel…

5 minutes a day to warm up for a heavy lifting session. I started off with fifteen and was planning on doing a bit more each day but it really does bore me. Yes, it's enough. Right now I'm maintaing my weight, maybe later when I start cutting I'll do more but only if advised to by my trainer.

I started drinking regularly at 13 (the drinking age is 16 here). I don't regret it even though I made a lot of stupid drunken mistakes because I was so young and couldn't hande it. I learnt a lot and now, at 19 drinking/drugs is old news and I can concentrate on more important stuff. I'll still have a night out every once…

It will change with time! When you ween yourself off the sugar and carbs, your body stops craving them! It becomes less of a challenge to eat healthy, it becomes natural.

Congratulations!! You're looking great ;D

No point in opening my food diary, I don't log anything on this website! I'm 5'5, 120lbs, just under 20% bf, eating 2100cals approximately, 120g protein! I workout Monday to Friday around 2hours/day, heavy lifting, minimal cardio. Now that you say that, it could be an iron defficiency. I'm a vegetarian and have had…

First off, like the other poster said, you can't spot reduce. That means you can't choose to lose fat in one area, it comes off in layers. Where you lose fat first and last comes down to genetics, you can't control it. Secondly, any quick way to lose fat isn't a long term solution. When it comes to changing your body, slow…

I tend to be pretty repetitive with food, so I have a set of about 7 or 8 different meals and I know the calorie content of all of them. So every day it's basically just a mix and match to get the right amount of calories in (: Also, preparing food in bulk and freezing them in individual containers is a life-saver IMO.
-
I totally get where you're coming from! I remember a time where I wouldn't step foot in a gym because I didn't want to be "the fat girl who should really just stop trying". When I would see other women looking great in their tight gym gear, I would get really jealous and upset because I felt they were judging me! Oh how…
-
Gaah, yes!! I don't take a shot of it though, that's really hard on your tooth enamel and even a bit harsh on your stomach :S But definetely diluted in water (through a straw is best apparently). It has worked EVERY time for naseau (mostly due to my TOM), bloating (you should take it before the meal) and other digestive…
-
Yup, it does. But thanks for your input.
-
Wow, I didn't know it was that complicated! I'm going to have to do my research to really understand how all this is measured! How come every women doesn't have this knowledge?! Thanks everyone (:
