My "temple" does just fine regularly eating bacon, chicken, eggs, canned/frozen veggies and excluding things like spirulina, wheat grass, yacon root, goji berry, acai and flax.

Honest opinion that is in no way skewed by the kick back you get selling said junk?

I agree and maybe they missed her stats that she posted. She would benefit from maintaining her weight and recomping or even trying to slowly bulk. Trying to drop more weight especially with the macro breakdown she's been eating and the workouts she's been doing won't do much for her goal of toning up/seeing more…

You do know there is an app with this site for tracking food right? You can also set up your calorie and macro goals on there as well. You can track food from the main site too.

If you're primarily consuming fruits and vegetables, that is a high fiber and low fat diet. That may also be contributing to your bloating. You need to get your macros in line before you start looking for rare issues like gluten sensitivity as your problem. Balanced diets usually solve a lot of digestive issues. Fruits and…

Unfortunately, none of those workouts do much for lean body mass retention/gaining. Cardio basically creates a calorie deficit which aids in fat loss but with that fat comes a lot of muscle if you aren't eating adequate protein and training with some sort of resistance training with an increasing load. Pilates will not…

In order to see changes in composition you have to be training appropriately and have your macronutrients in line with your goals as well. Cardio and what I assume are probably high rep, low weight and/or circuit workouts aren't going to show you noticeable change in body composition when you don't have much weight/fat to…

He does exist!

Thank you for taking my post completely out of context. YES, in the grand scheme of things, if you aren't eating Chipotle or any other restaurant food everyday and mostly preparing your own meals, a 400 calorie error is pretty freaking negligible. Thanks for also ignoring my other suggestions of how to deal with the…

I typically keep my venting to people who actually might care about my rant, like my friends IRL, not a public forum with specific guidelines against insults, cursing, body shaming... etc.

If you aren't eating Chipotle every single day of your life, the 400 cal difference is negligible. Not to mention, food labeling in general can carry an extremely large error in it too. Most Chipotle and Qdoba locations I have been to are extremely OCD about portion control. If you are that worried about it, eat somewhere…

That fainting is serious business. I ended up with a nice goose egg from the barbell that I hit at the gym and a trip to the ER for a CT scan. If I had fallen just a little differently I could have ended up with a busted up face, a bad concussion or even worse brain trauma. I simply hadn't eaten enough in the day or two…

Does the Garmin use a chest strap? Does either device ask for more detailed information than the other?

And stop asking strangers on the internet if your body is good enough yet.

While I agree that they shouldn't blame the quality on their customers' sizes, Athleta has the same issue with SOME of their tight leggings too with the inside thigh. You have to pay attention to what each line of pant is geared toward. A lot of LuLu's stuff is meant for yoga same as Athleta, if you don't buy their…

Old Navy, Athleta, Gap, Body Collection which most TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores carry, I think I have gotten some of the MPG stuff that people have mentioned too. Lulu is not worth the price tag for their constantly declining quality. If I wanted everyone to see my underwear, why would I even put pants on?…

You don't know what binge eating is about if all you think it means is eating a large volume of food in a short period of time. But good try.

Why not grow them out but do more of a sideswept look? I think the straight bang is more of a young girl look, but a side swept bang or even just some layering/face framing when you grow them out adds style pretty easily. I'm all about low maintenance hair and like the natural styling my hair does just blow drying it when…
-
+1 Also, aside from a small amount of initial newbie gains, you aren't going to see a change in muscle mass without a surplus. You could start out doing a recomposition which would be eating at maintenance with the right macro set up and lifting heavy for a while. If you want to see more "growth" vs just leaning…

This. People lash out like that usually because they are unhappy and have their own personal issues. You are improving your life and setting a wonderful example for your children. As hard as it may be, sometimes we just have to ignore the naysayers and cruel people and keep on, keepin' on. I hope that you don't have to…

LOL do you even know the OP of the original thread's background?

That 10lbs of water weight stat is going to vary for body size. That may be the "average" adult, but since you are small framed, shorter and weigh less, I doubt that you lost more than a few lbs in water weight. If you are eating fairly balanced macros, I don't think you will see much water retention from eating carbs. A…

Oh, we know that pollo-vegetarian is a "real thing." We just think it's stupid to have a label for every style of eating. You do realize that A LOT of people eat this way without actually associating themselves with the vegetarian campaign, right?

Actually, it's not just for peopel "who want encouragement to get healthier," it's a calorie tracker. People track calories for numerous reasons, including but not limited to: gaining weight, losing weight and maintaining weight. It's not a contest either, so no one has "already WON!" And, yes, it is a social site. Why are…

You seem like a real peach. His uncle gave it to the two of you, however, you'd never have the lamp if you weren't dating him so just give it back and be done with it. Sheesh.

If you ever plan on racing, you need to learn how to pace yourself without the help of a treadmill. Depending on how you are treadmill training, trail or road running can provide a better workout due to rolling hills and such. Unless you are selecting a hill program on a treadmill, you won't get that added benefit. I agree…

Eat like a grown man instead of a small child and you will probably have room for whatever drinks you like.

How is this even a question?

When did average become a bad thing? Like another poster mentioned, if there is little to no effort put into satisfying my sexual needs, then I have an issue with the things stated in the OP. Women do have some personal responsibility for their orgasm during sex so it's not completely up to him to get it done anyway.
