All these ladies are rectangles... Here's Heidi Klum, a rectangle, at the Victoria's Secret fashion show...

Mine was taken out 8 years ago. I only have trouble if I eat too much fat too many days in a row. Since I've started MFP, I have had no issues even with 30% fat. Why so many restrictions?

When I don't have many calories left, I'll have an omelet for dinner. Yum!

1. I felt awful at my heaviest. I also was thinking about starting a family (we still want to, but its on hold for a little bit). I didn't want to be obese and pregnant. I didn't want to pass on unhealthy habits to my kids. 2. Apathy. I've lost almost 70lbs and am very close to a healthy weight. Going from obese to where I…

I weigh out two portions (just me and DH) dry. Then when its done cooking, I dump it all into one bowl and divide it in half by weight. DH is ok with eating 1 actual serving of pasta (instead of 2-3 servings like most people do). As long as you know how many servings you cooked (weight it dry before you dump it in), you…

Good morning! I did not hit my steps yesterday. We ended up being called into the attorney's office to sign the Purchase & Sales agreement for the house (finally!) and I had to go straight to choir from there. Didn't get home until 9pm and I decided to relax instead of walking 3 miles. It's ok. I still hit my calorie goal,…

I went a little over (~70 calories) over my calories yesterday, but I hit my other goals. My run felt amazing! Goals for today 1. Stay within calories 2. 12k steps 3. Rest

I did actually wake up one morning and decided to do it. I decided to give it my all for a month to prove to myself that counting calories WOULDN'T work for me. I was convinced that I was going to be fat forever. I was doomed. Funny enough, I lost weight that month. So I decided to keep going. I woke up the next day and…

I find something to keep myself busy. If I'm still hungry after an hour, I'll eat an apple and then get busy again.

Good morning! I hit my goals yesterday. Should be going for a run tonight and it's supposed to be in the 50's. Yay for warmer weather! Goals for today: 1. stay within calories 2. 12k steps 3. 3 mile run

Good morning! Had a good weekend and hit my goals. My weight dropped quite a bit, so I'm happy with that. Goals for today: 1. stay within calories 2. 12k steps 3. TRX (strength)

Hi! I know I've been missing for a few days, but work has been insane. I'm finally able to catch my breath. Still really stressed, but managing better. I'm not stress eating, so that's plus. I've been using my workouts as an outlet and my weight is down. goals for today: 1. stay within calories 2. 12k steps 3. rest

Good morning! I hit my goals yesterday. Need to keep on moving forward. Goals for today: 1. stay within calories 2. 12k steps 3. 3 mile run

Sometimes I'll have a breakfast sandwich. Sometimes I'll have yogurt, nuts, and fruit. Sometimes I'll have oatmeal and fruit. All keep me filled up until lunch.

Good morning! I'm showing up to this milestone with a loss! Yay! Not quite at my target rate for the challenge. But with all the no losses I've been having, I'm excited for this one. Hopefully will have some answers today on the house. Friday had a big breakthrough, but a decision has to be made and I really would like it…

I tried to post this morning, but my phone wouldn't do it. Hit my goals yesterday. My weight dropped again this morning, so I'm back to where I was at Valentine's Day. Yay! The house stuff is still stressful, but we have a game plan now to get off the merry-go-round of no progress we've been stuck on for the last week.…

Good morning! Hit my goals yesterday. My weight dropped this morning! Yay! Still super stressed over the house issues, but I have the next few days off and don't have to be back to work until Monday. Trying to relax, but just really want some answers about the house. Maybe I'll do a little extra workout today to help me…

Good morning! I hit my goals yesterday. Yay! I'm so stressed right now. The house buying is not going well right now, work is crazy, and my weight is going up. I didn't sleep well last night due to the stress. I have Thursday/Friday off this week, which you think would be awesome, but it's actually adding more stress right…

So, I completely agree that people have different frame sizes. However, I'm an example of someone who used to think that I was "big boned" when I was just fat. I've always had a larger ring size (my engagement ring is a size 9, which for a 5'3" female is pretty big) and when I would do the wrist measurement, it always came…

I think a lot of is comes down to what your TDEE is. For me, my TDEE works out to ~2150. So a cut means eating below 2000 calories, which can be hard after a while when balancing with real life events like birthdays, holidays, and just going out. A bulk means still eating under 3000 calories, which is pretty easy to do.…

Good morning! Hit my goals yesterday! Trying to stay consistent amidst the chaos that is house buying. Still have 3.5 weeks until we close! So on my new mindset, I've decided to go back to TDEE method instead of NEAT + fitbit. I had success with TDEE in the past and feel I have a better grip over time on how to adjust my…

Aside from putting a Brita filter on the tap and changing it when need be, I don't really worry much about my drinking water. However, I do live with an Environmental Engineer who specialized in wastewater treatment, so I let him handle the water issues at our house. He doesn't seem worried.

I can feel a noticeable difference between running when I'm eating at a deficit and when I'm fully fueled (meaning I ate at or over maintenance the day before). It's actually pretty shocking. I manage it by have a small deficit, so that I'm still losing weight but I can keep up my running. I also try to have a "feast day"…

@nicolejo143 Congrats on the marathon! I'm sure it took a lot of hard work to get there! @dhygirl Awesome NSV! I love it when I can see the changes instead of just seeing a number on the scale move.

You're regular until you aren't. Meaning that everyone has irregular cycles sometimes. When you start your period is based on when you ovulate that cycle. The time between ovulation and your period is consistent, so if you're early/late its because you ovulated early/late. A lot of things can throw off your ovualtion:…

I do several things: 1. I plan my diet to be at a macro level that I find filling. Play with your fat, fiber, and protein levels to help you feel fuller in the long term. 2. I embrace temptation by saving calories for the end of my day. I always save calories for an evening snack. I wait until an hour before bed to eat it,…

I've been on several different birth control pills and have lost almost 70lbs. The pill doesn't make you gain weight or retain weight. It can make you hungrier, which can make it more challenging from a satiety point of view, but it won't prevent weight loss. Try to find eating habits that will help you feel fuller for…

Eat lighter for the rest of the day and plan ahead. I can go out to eat and have a drink and stick to my calories. But I have to plan my day around it. I always look at the menu ahead of time and plan what I'm eating. I factor in a drink (I usually don't want to sacrifice what it would take to save calories for more than…
