I love this! :laugh:

Almond butter.... mmmm.....

You forgot about guacamole... completely necessary.

How did I know that this was going to turn into a starvation mode debate? Starvation mode is a myth. End of story.

27 year old single mama here and I have a 16 month old! Feel free to add me :) As of today I have lost all the baby weight, but I still have about 25 more pounds I want to lose.

Ok let me try to work it out... You're a male. The OP is a female. You cannot compare how much a man can eat to lose weight as compared to a woman. 600 calories when eating lean meats and veggies and other "healthy" foods is a huge meal. That is typically what I eat, so when I picture 600 calories of food I hardly think of…

So only 2 "small" meals a day, huh? I hardly consider a 600 calorie meal small. Perhaps that thinking has lead you to where you are now. I eat 2 large meals a day and at least 2 snacks and a protein shake.

I am not disputing that after a prolonged time, say 72 hours, you will have a starvation response. But when did I say that I fast for that long? I never go longer than 24 hours. Perhaps I should have clarified... Starvation mode, as most define it, is a myth. Fasting for 24 hours will not cause you to go into "starvation…

I do intermittent fasting... there are a couple different ways to do it though. I use the 16/8 approach. I fast for 16 hours a day and have an 8 hour eating window. I eat from 12-8pm. And then on Mondays I fast for 24 hours. Please disregard any comments on "starvation mode". It's a myth and the metabolic processes that…

Yes it works!! Make sure you are logging accurately and weighing all your food. Don't give up!

Yes 1200 calories is enough. I've eaten 1200 calories everyday for the last 2.5 months and have lost 25 pounds. My diary is open to the public so feel free to have a look. You can add me as well :) I'm short too and someone at our height has to eat less calories than taller women... sucks, but it's reality. You can…

Take a rest day. Seriously take a break. No really, REST! Your body will thank you! High impact cardio like running can be pretty hard on your joints. Even the most elite athletes in the world have at least one rest day/week.

Me too. Salt and Vinegar Pringles to be exact.

I'm glad all guys don't think it's ok to act a jacka$s the second someone hurts their feelings. I thought any normal adult would reply with an "ok I understand, maybe later then" response... Talk about killing any chance to ever go out now.

I've always found BBC quite intimidating, but my neighbor is a huge fan.

Oh. My. God. That is horrible!!! Did he not own a car?

truce :flowerforyou:

After reading the text I couldn't care less about his perception or feelings. He seems crazy... If you would have read it I bet you would be a lot less likely to defend him. And I haven't displayed any behavior towards you... I typed responses on the internet, which you have interpreted a certain way. How about you calm…

I'm single because I choose to be... great use of a clichéd phrase though. :drinker: (edited to fixing coding)

We have almost the exact same weight, height and measurements! In America you would wear a size 8 :tongue:

Now: 27 years old 5'3 157 lbs Size 8 (39-30-40) BF: 29% Goals: 130 Size 4 BF: 22% I don't have goal measurements because I don't have much control over that. As you lose fat, your body does it where it wants. I just want to get my BF% down.

According to an online body type calculator I'm an hourglass... my measurements are 40-30-40. I have big boobs so I do a lot of heavy lifting for my legs and butt in an attempt to keep everything proportionate.

He be trollin', trollin', trollin'!

Ummmmm how did I waste his time? Oh I'm sorry, he'll never get the 15 seconds back it took to read my text message. Jeezus.

I should have known this would turn around and be my fault again... Because at the time I had every intention of going out with him. After a couple of days of thinking about it I changed my mind. I'm pretty sure going out to dinner with him even though I knew I wasn't interested in dating him or anyone else would be the…
