This is the problem: is went from 250lbs to 160lbs eating 800-1200 calories per day. I was misinformed and just got really freaking lucky in not creating some major health issues or completely ruining my metabolism. For the past few months, I've been eating about 1600, and I've slowly worked my way up to 2,000. For my…

Thank you : ) I wouldn't mind losing fat, but I'm not focused on losing weight. I want to replace the extra fat with muscle so I no longer bother to weigh myself, but rather keep measurements. I was always taught that women are to be lean and skinny, keeping their calories low, so trying to get out of that mentality and up…

I run at a 10% incline. I'm easily burning 400 calories. That was just a low estimate. I think I burn far more than that Bc of the incline and the sweat that pours off of me. Lol!

I hear you! I do at least eat grass fed organic meats and limit the pizza

Hahahaha! What do you mean?

My butt is just obnoxiously big. It's toned and stuff but it just seems big compared to the rest of my body. It sounds stupid since most people see this as a good thing, but for me, I feel disproportionate. That's what I was trying to say. Lol

YESSSS.

Yessss these are also one of my regular protein bars. The cookies and cream are da bomb! I'm on a budget at the moment, hence wanting to make my own. Lol way cheaper for me to make my own at the moment since I'm stocked up on every ingredient possible! Plus I'm that weirdo who likes to know exactly goes in to what I'm…

I was getting the ones by chef Irvine at gnc. $25 for a box of 12

I'm close to there! About an hour away actually.

You aren't alone. Maybe we should eat that *kitten* in moderation so we don't crave it. ;)

Lol wow, people really are cranky. I've lost weight by cutting out most sugars and starches. Sticking to lean meats, vegetables, and fruits. I'm 5'10 and 160lbs. That's quite the difference from a year ago at 5'10 and 250lbs. I think what I'm doing has worked considering I'm finally getting abs. I messed up, big *kitten*…

Lmao but I ate like 12,000 calories! So bloated. Never again.

There will be plenty of food here for you! Haha join and we will pig out together with no regrets :p But no really, I'm excited to spend time with family, I just get nervous thinking about pigging out. Lol I think I'll go for moderation but still enjoy myself. :)

I have a huge family, so it's literally every food and dessert you cold possibly ever think of. The dining room table alone is nearly 20 feet long! I'm not excited about it. Lol I'll just cut the calories for breakfast and lunch that day.

Awh yes, I will try my very hardest! Thank you!

Lol no offense taken! I'm just sarcastic :p but yes I'm leaning towards the idea water weight too. Thankyou!

Yes girl, I'll take the inches for sure! I'm just wondering why the weight loss suddenly stopped. I intensified my workouts so maybe water retention. Other than that I haven't changed anything!

Makes sense! Thank you!

You can gain a reality check by going back to elementary school reading. I never said I've only been working out for two weeks, I said my weight has been the same for two weeks. I've continually lost weight up until these past two weeks, now rather than weight loss I'm noticing the inches going away faster which is why I'm…

I was running 10-12 miles per day in April, and then I started traveling a lot and completely stopped running. I'm building my endurance back up but I run at least 6 days a week. Some days I will run 7-8 miles at no incline and other days it'll be 3-5 at a 10% incline, and let me tell you, that's so much harder on me than…

I woke up this morning and was at 179lbs! Woohoo! Super happy about that. I took a rest day yesterday and drank a ton of water. Maybe my body is holding water due to inflamed muscles and my salt intake? I noticed my jeans are a tad looser too. I think I just got a little discouraged that the scale wasn't changing. I…

When I first lost my weight I still saw myself as "heavy", even though I was a size small. It takes a while for our brains to catch up to our physical appearance! I've modeled since highschool and when I had my baby I lost all confidence, which lasted even after I was pre baby weight. A lack of confidence comes from…

I took it once and it caused me to be hungrier than I've ever been! I talked with my obgyn and she said the pill will cause an increase in appetite bc it screws with your hormones. The pill alone doesn't cause you to gain weight but giving into the cravings. The only other thing might be some water retention. Up your…

Awh, I think 156 sounds healthy for 5'8. I can't imagine being 130lbs, I'd be bones! Lol I'm closer to 5'10 though. I think as women with fluctuating hormones it's normal for our weight to change throughout our life times, so it's important to not be too hard on ourselves and focus mainly on being happy and healthy rather…

Totally get that. Lol explaining my entire life story and history of health I didn't think was necessary. But thank you!

I started a kelp supplement some time ago for it. I'm not taking a pill every day for the rest of my life, I'd rather have to work twice as hard! The supplements have balanced me out according to my blood work so I'm thinking the Thyroid isn't the issue.

It's called extensions vs no extensions.

Clear change in my waist size since I was being asked if I needed to lose weight. And yes, yes I am.

On alcohol, yes. Lol on food not really but what I was eating wasn't healthy most of the time. I'm hypothyroid too and my thyroid Doctor retired so I no longer take medicine for it. Idk how true it is that your thyroid has a direct affect on weight loss/weight gain. But according to thermogenics if you're creating a…
