I know you said populations of African diaspora, but I just wanted to point out to readers that a big butt is a trait very common for black women. Not just Latin America. African women are included.

@tomatoey wow! Lol. That's all I can say. I don't want to be warned by moderators!

Sir Mix A Lot first had the song I like big butts. It is sort of a cultural thing though. A lot of men of color have always preferred or liked big butts. However, for the women that get the surgery to enhance their butts, I think it often does not look real or cute. But a woman that naturally has a bigger butt...I don't…

Heck yea

Aww snap B)

I love your honest post. It's great to hear you have found what works for you. I hope you can eventually learn exactly what it is so you can, should you desire, pass on all that useful knowledge to others. Congrats on your progress. You look great :)

They didn't work for me :| . But that does not mean I think they may not work for some...

I freaking love everything about this post!

I am sorry, I have not. :/ I suspect it will be really hard to find the people that have on the mfp forums. But 2 pounds is exciting! Great job. Good luck with the rest of your challenge. :)

Excellent OP. Knowing your body and finding a team of people you trust is crucial in this journey. It's great to hear others are so in touch with themselves and have the support they need for their journey. Keep inspiring others

Done!

Yea I wish I would have had one. Every quest bar I've had I think is terrible...borderline disgusting. :#

Metagenics has a good line of shakes. They are low carb and sugar if you care. The chocolate is pretty tasty too.

Ahh I see! I'll look into it. Well you have one poster that seems to have some experience with it. Hopefully you can find the info you're looking for. :)

I have not tried it. I'm sorry. :| Have you tried checking online at Amazon to see the reviews on it? Maybe ask some of the other members at your gym?

Thank you for these pointers. Very helpful!

Man! That's major! Great job. You are excellent at this :)

Yea you can have PCOS and not have problems with acne and then all of a sudden acne. I find that when my cysts were really large, that's when I had the acne. Maybe a nice checkup with the doc will help get your skin back on track.

Sorry, I have not heard im of it. Are you thinking about trying it or had results with it?

I only log my plain water. 8 cups of water shouldn't be too much water. If you drink it throughout the day and not all at one time, that should help decrease the urge to go all the time. I've also heard that ice cold water makes the urge to go more frequent. Still over time, as you get adjusted to drinking a lot of water,…

That's all you eat and are not hungry? Are you on some sort of appetite suppressant? Did this feeling sick just start? If you have a reduced appetite, can you try breaking up one meal and eating it throughout the day?

Working out 3 times a week is good for you. Probably not enough to get in the best shape of your life though. To answer whether 3x a week is too little will depend on your goals and several variables. If you are trying to condition your heart, and get in shape for long distance runs, you will likely need more. Walking in…

Have you tried blended frozen bananas to replace ice cream? It can be a really good one. Also I like Sweet Frogs to purchase single serve froyo. But directly answering your question, TCBY has froyo that you can buy in the store. I like it. I pretty much like any form of ice cream though. Is there a specifi brand you have…

I agree with the above posters that you should not beat yourself up. It's one day. You are doing fine overall, right? :) If you must, compensate for today to satisfy your own feelings try making a small change for a few days. Like stated above, just take 100 or 200 calories off oz your days for a week or so. So if you…

My strap does not irritate my skin but I have heard it does for others. Have you tried washing it? The directions advise to give it a gentle wash before wearing it and after each workout. They said it helps.

If you are eating small "meals" does it still make you feel sick? What if you have a smoothie or low sugar juice for breakfast, a small snack, then lunch a healthy salad, then another small snack, then veggies and lean protein for dinner? I think many have occassional days where we don't eat because life happens and you…

I have not tried this. But I have PCOS so I am curious to know about this. Has it worked for you? Are you feeling any better?

I weigh in daily. If I dont, I can go off track too easily and quickly.

Hi Ameenah I have had this tea. It is like the only tea I drink. I started it because a fit friend of mine swears by it. But it did not help me with my weight loss directly or indirectly. Still that's great that it is helping you! Stick with it then. Whatever works for you. Best of luck on your fitness journey :)
