You look awesome! A bunch of us know what it's like to loose a lot just to gain it back and have to start all over again. Great work :)

Awesome. Exactly this.

I HATE that this is true. We live in a hypocritical society; these kinds of behaviors are DIS-EMPOWERING and do nothing to help motivate you or anyone else to lose weight. It's a vicious cultural cycle. I hope the best for you and hope you have the courage to discover a healthier, happier you and reap all the benefits of…

Egg yolks, dark leafy greens, oysters, clams, organ meat, artichokes, beans and lentils all have significant iron.

Half a cow... yet I'm not sure how to get a full cow, because if you eat the semen and the egg you get one whole chicken and half a cow.

Yup. ... unless you're a professional chef or hairdresser, "food preparation" and "styling hair" are not going burn significant calories.

AHAHAHA

Claiming that paleo in any way resembles how early humans ate.

Yaaaaaaay this is all I needed to hear :) It's your determination that matters! Also, yes "Howdy Ma'am" guy is sooooo right.

Well said.

Don't quit! MP is slow on the weekends, and I imagine especially so on spring break weekend. Your progress is awesome, keep working for your goal :)

Sounds like SUPER controlling behavior on your husband's part ... and why do you allow your 15 year old to disrespect you like that?

How do you eat bacon without ranch? Or buffalo ranch?

It's Ricky; I think the grammar mistake is appropriate here.

Wow, lots of sweet fans! Nothing wrong with that but this is all more my flavor... chilaquiles awesomeburger (totally had one this morning) pierogi bake kartoffelknoedel mit weiner schnitzel I have a serious love affair with open-faced garlic bread sandwiches. I love all the weird bits of meat that people everywhere in the…

I'm thinking about ordering some quest bars, but they are expensive! What are the best flavors?

5 days in a row of Pilates and yoga! I was starting to realize how sedentary I had become,so I went on youtube, found some videos, and made a schedule for myself. I was so sore the first two days, but I kept at it anyway. I think doing basic yoga every night has helped with the soreness, as I am perfectly fine today.

AHAHAHa

It's more of a lifestyle than a "diet". It doesn't matter when you start; I have about 60lbs to lose and I started at 72. The idea is that when you fast you become more aware of real hunger and when to ignore hunger signal- the day after a fast most people will not gorge, unless they are obese and have binge-eating issues.…

Usually 500 cals for women and 600 for men. You can choose to fast whichever days you like. Please add me! I also have about 60lbs to lose and I am trying to do 5:2 or 3:4.

This might be a little anal, and unnecessary if you have a smart phone, but I have a chart that I made of a few dishes and the number of calories from a variety of restaurants that I might end up at for various reasons- it has everything from estimates for various sushi rolls to generic bar food to weiner schnitzel and…

Agreed. Spread your calories the way you want. I used to try to follow the idea that a large breakfast makes you less hungry in the afternoon- that NEVER worked for me; no matter how much I eat in the morning, I get really hungry around 2pm-4pm. So now I don't eat breakfast, when I am almost NEVER hungry, and I eat a big…

Assuming it's the "fasting" that we use in ADF, 5:2, and so on; you're allowed 500 calories on a fast day.

Yeah... one of my best friends is in his late 30s and got to see Megadeath and the Misfits (his favorite band) for $10. Gas was 4 bucks a gallon when I started driving; we could barely do anything for 10 bucks and most of the cool people were already dead >:(

Great work! This is why I love threads like this... most of my IRL friends are 6'+ dudes who don't understand because they fluctuate 30lbs + or - all the time and no one notices... 30lbs is a huge victory for us short ladies!!!

Thiiiiiiiiis. Only if he were actually a woman he might know what it's like for you trying to get toned.

NSV.... SV... whatever it is, it's great progress. Good work; glad life made you stop and realize you should be proud :)

You are doing AWESOME! Great loss.
