I usually eat half of an avocado a day. If they are tiny, I will eat a whole one. Usually 1.5-2 oz per meal, sometime 3 oz. It depends on my fat macros for the day really. You can always cut some and wrap it up tightly in some saran wrap or cling wrap, then place it in the fridge to eat later or the next day. I slice some…

Every morning after I get up and after the bathroom business. No clothes and before eating or drinking. I am keeping a log of the trends as well.

The usual suspects... High BP, my "fat" clothes were getting tight on me, increasing joint pain, headaches, general unhappiness with how I looked, and how I was treated, realizing I never have photos taken, fear of an unhealthy pregnancy.

========== This and yes, I am 5' 2.5" and my weekly average is 1650-1750 a day (I don't eat my cals back since I use TDEE-20%), and I have consistently lost 1-1.5 lbs every 7-10 days. I also lift heavy 3x a week, and do no more that 25-30min or cardio 3-4 times a week. It works for me, and I don't want to lose any lean…

43, and trying to stay true to my promise (to myself) of being healthier by the time I hit 44. Slowly getting there, and it feels good.

Please ======= Please stop over thinking it. Limit yourself and if you want to try a little of everything, then do so. If you think you may feel guilty about it or you may have overeaten a little, then cut your lunch time short and go for a 20-30min walk afterward. Drink plenty of water. If you know what your company will…

============= I agree with @jgnatca advice. Since she tends to be aggressive over email, you may want to consider responding back in a day or so. Let her know that you don't want to talk about health/fitness with her because you know what you need to do and you are happy with your decisions. Let her know that if she keeps…

Great post. Thanks!

====== Also, you may want to consider reversing your workouts. Do strength first, then cardio. You don't want to deplete your energy before you hit the weights.

Preach! =========== Don't depend on drugs to help you control your cravings, especially this one. It's predecessor was called Fen-Phen and it caused heart issues. After lawsuits and the craziness that goes with bad pharma research that crashes and burns, I believe FDA banned it. Phentermine also has been banned, but in the…

So many bands! I will try to remember based on chronological order from whence I was a young sapling, until just last year. There may be more outside of this list that I cannot remember: Kiss Ratt; Bonjovi opened Dokken; Cinderella opened Dio; Yngwie Malmsteen opened Metallica; Queensrÿche opened (Mindcrime tour, so…

I have only lost 14 lbs, but since I have been heavy lifting I noticed that I automatically stand up straighter. Walking up 2-3 flights of stairs does not kill me, and I was able to sit in a cross-legged stretch yesterday at the gym.

Keep going and don't give up, and be kind to yourself. Relish those NSVs, as they make our lives easier AND are motivating. We want to see your 100 lb loss success story next year!

I plugged the OP's stats into Scoobys, and her TDEE for 3-5 hours of moderate exercise a week is 2094 cals a day. If she is doing 1-3 hours of light exercise, her maintenance is 1857 cals a day. Do you think she is eating more than 1857 a day? Also, since she only wants to lose 20 lbs, maybe the deficit shouldn't be so…

Awesome and congratulations! As one who is an emotional food eater, I totally know how bad the struggle can be, especially when life throws a wrench (or a few) in the mix. Thanks for you for putting yourself out there and reminding us that we are all in this together!

That's great and congrats! I also haven't been able to wear my engagement and wedding ring for the past 6 months; however I was able to start wearing them together this past weekend and I have them on now. I've only lost 10 lbs, but I can definitely feel the difference. Going up the stairs is not painful, and the clothes…

@mumblemagic: You are assuming that the amount of energy a body burns through is unaffected by what they eat. This is not something that I grabbed out of thin air. Two different experienced and amazing trainers explained to me that if you eat too little, your body will reduce it's base metabolic rate to compensate for the…

Running places a lot of stress on the body, and for the distances that you are currently running, you are not feeding your body enough. Sounds like your body is just trying to hold on while trying to repair your injuries. You can try making your way to the sedentary level for now and see how it goes. A good place may be…

Hi! I am Kim and I have been told that my super power is my concussive laugh.

I will probably wait to see it Christmas day, like I did last year. It was a super chill day of waking up and going to a matinee movie, and it was EMPTY! Also, I am getting my small bag of popcorn with butter... Yeah!

I am close to 5' 3", and I started at 187 lbs. I still have quite some weight to go, but I am losing it slowly and safely. My goal is 130 lbs, which was my initial weight before I went back to college and gained 50+ lbs. I have a small frame, so I think 120 would be ideal, but I am not sure if my body will go that low. I…

Hi! This is the second time that I have been on a modified 4 Body/Slow Carb diet. The first time, I was doing well, but then I had to travel and came off of this way of eating for about two months. It works very well for me and my husband, since we never feel deprived. I also don't follow it completely to the letter,…
