BAHAHAHAHAHA I hope I'm not the only one who gets this.

I'm 23 and I lost over 100 lbs and I still have 15-20 to go. You can feel free to add me if you like <3

Another one that's punch-worthy. People are SO STUPID.

Yeah you also burn more calories the week before your period, don't you?

I would punch that guy/girl. So hard.

I used to get that one all the time. Like I can't just be pretty. Ugh. I don't even have visible muscle and I get, "You're not as scary as you look." And occasionally, "You're really feminine for a lesbian." <-- Taking a look at this one. These are from people who barely know me, who talk to me in class or school, and have…

When I get PMS I want to eat more -salt.- Not chocolate or cake or anything that makes me go over on calories, but pickles. Pickles. I eat so many. And olives. I don't care because I'm not over in calories but I end up having to drink an extra liter of water to flush my system. But I've never really binged and I've never…

Hooray!!! You go girl. Get those lifts and keep being awesome!

It all depends on your age and weight and if you have certain heart problems. Here's a thing: http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/PhysicalActivity/Target-Heart-Rates_UCM_434341_Article.jsp My resting heart rate is 80-90. My ideal cardio zone is 120-167, and 170 is considered too high for me based on my health…

^^^^

I'm DYING right now. So glad I came here. Haha xD

I make really rad hummus, and my recipe is very similar to nimianne's. The only thing missing is the garlic. I -love- garlic, and when I make a batch I have a little trick. I pop all the cloves out of a head of garlic, and while they're still in their "paper" I toss them up in some olive oil, then wrap them in aluminum…

Exactly. The only place you need to look for validation is within your own mind. I've suffered from confidence issues for a very long time, and it's always -all in your head.- You're a fine looking girl, really, but your mindset is what's making you feel unattractive. Working out, not to lose weight because you really…

Relax and go out. I rarely do, mostly because of budget constraints, but when you go out just pick lighter options or work out the same day. It's fine to go over on calories every once and a while, but it makes me feel better to exercise when I know I'm going to go out. I have little treats every other day or so, and I'm…

I'm the same way about the fluctuations haha!

What she said! First thing in the morning once a week or every two weeks. Sometimes I weigh randomly throughout the week too, especially when I'm bloated or I can feel that I have water weight just to remind myself that the scale fluctuates and not to freak out if I suddenly weigh more. Might be kind of strange, but it…

It's really not uncomfortable! I have the polar ft4 and I wear the chest strap during workouts and never even feel it, even though it's taught. Also the watch part is cute and it comes in a ton of different colors so you can wear it all day. :D It's only 100 bucks and it's more accurate than the wrist only kind. I highly…

You need diet and exercise and lifting. Lifting on a deficit won't give you a ton of muscle, but the muscle you will get will help burn calories. You need to have a good diet, too, and be on a deficit to lose weight and cardio can help with the strength of your heart and lungs, and it also burns calories necessary to burn…

Hahaha! fear is a terrible motivator for me. I guess I'm not a Sith, but a Jedi. But I salute you, Dark Lord/Goblin King. You can do it and welcome to MFP :D

It depends on your workouts and what makes you comfortable. If I've thrown up before during a workout because I ate too close to when I worked out. When I exercise in the mornings I take in small amounts of protein before and after the workout, though, because if I don't take anything in then I'll run out of energy in…

I can't wait to go on a surplus and start lifting more. Oh my god I want to be one of those people who talks about gains instead of losses. Soon.

I try really hard to eat 1600 and net 1400, but it doesn't work out that way all the time. Some days I can't eat enough even when I feel like I'm constantly eating. But don't just eat 1200 and then work out. It's really not good for your body and I made myself sick the first few weeks of MFP because I was sooo desperate to…

I'll give it a try. Goals: -Keep up with P90X -Make sure I eat enough fruits/vegetables -Don't eat like **** when my boyfriend comes back home and starts being a bad influence again. -Get down to 153 SW: 260 CW: 157 GW: 140 Weigh in Dates: 4/01 : 157 4/08: 156 !! 4/22: 4/29: Total:

I agree with Shadow2Soul. You can make mini goals for yourself and update, or put it all on your tracker at once. As I was losing weight I realized that 145 would be a little too much for my frame, so I made my goal 140, though eventually, by December, I'd like to be at 135. I've got a little frame. So I'll just make those…

I don't really have them. If I want to eat a big meal, then I workout extra so I have excess calories to eat. I can still pack in two sushi rolls or some pad thai and have room for it every other week when I can afford to go out.

Oh hey girl! I was 183 in December, and I'm currently sitting at 156. 65 is a big number for five months. I've lost over 100 lbs and it comes off really fast at first but it slows down eventually, so don't try to give yourself a time frame for weight loss. The best thing to do is just tell yourself you're going to learn to…

If you're working out five times a week, you need to intake like 1600 every day depending on your burns and stuff. If you're burning 400 you need to net 1200. It can be hard, it's sometimes really hard for me to eat enough, but if you don't eat enough you can send your body into starvation mode and you won't burn fat or…

Likes to read! And is also super pretty! :D

It's fun to be crazy sometimes :3

She's crazy! Redheads are always crazy!!
