I'm a 31 y/o woman in a very different place in my health journey, but I can offer the following support... You seem to be caught up in a bit of self-deprecating. Your profile name, the original post,... you're not showing yourself any/enough love! You're young man with a long life ahead - be kind to yourself along the way…

5' 4.5" 161 - 163 lbs Size 16 pants are finally too big mostly. Size 14s are very comfortable (Ann Taylor, CAbi, Alfani, INC). Wearing a 14 in dresses, and down to a Large in most tops. I feel that I wear very large sizes compared to other women at my height/weight. I am doing a lot of strength and body resistance…

I make something similar to take to cookouts and gatherings during the summer. You can also add quinoa to make a heartier meal. Yum!

Sorry... I think it would be dangerous for me to know how to make this...

I don't think this is a dumb question... I remember that I or someone else asked a running coach this question when I first started training for a half marathon. The coach said (and I paraphrase), breathe however you can get the most oxygen in your body! Mouth, nose, both, whatever!

Cucumber. Great for using with dips when cut on the diagonal (hummus, spinach dip, etc.). I'll reiterate shrimp - when I need to get in more protein but don't have a ton of cals left, I can eat 5 - 6 oz of shrimp for less than 200 cal. Also healthy-ier (uncured, unpreserved) deli meat - Kroger Simple Truth Uncured Black…

Lots of good responses already - sunscreen, moisturizer, sleep, water, etc. etc.! About a year and a half ago, I started getting facials once every 4 - 6 weeks. Nothing crazy (tried dermaplane and microderm, too intense for my skin), just a good scrub, steam, extraction, and medical grade products. I go to a medi-spa so…

Bump. Also nice to get a scale with a "hold" button in case you can't see the number under the container. It'll lock the screen so you can remove the container and see the weight.

Figured out how to get a gif to post!!!!

This isn't what the OP asked. Your ticker indicates otherwise. But if you've been at this for a while, then do whatever the heck you want. If you can drop the last three quickly (which will probably be due to waste and water and not actual BF), then go ahead.

I have my "goal" set at 1 lb per week, and in reality have been totally okay with a half pound per week. I only have about 20 lbs more that I want to lose (and really only 30-35 if I wanted to be thin), so it is just Ya slower process at this point. Plus I'm much more focused on building muscle mass and creating a body…

Congratulations! You really stuck with it consistently and you deserve big kudos for your hard work! I thought this might be of interest: Kelly Coffey is now a personal trainer. She used to weigh 300+ lbs. I loosely follow her blog (www.strongcoffey.com). She wrote an article called "5 Things I Miss about Weighing 300…

Panera's Chicken Hummus Spinach Power Bowl. Big protein numbers, 330 cal. Some locations suck at making it, so don't judge it on a bad bowl. :) You can actually manage calories at Chipotle relatively well, too. Salad bowl, add protein and black beans, skip sour cream and cheese, pile on the salsas. I don't particularly…

Spot. On. I will plateau for a couple/few weeks, then drop a pound and a half or two, then bounce back up a half a pound, then level out... it's so variable with water/hormones/exercise.

March 1 to May 16 and down 15 lbs isn't slow!!! I've been at this since mid-January and I'm at 17 lbs down. So WTG! You're doing great! Also, even bigger congrats on the inches - changing your body comp!

Wednesday night at the hip hop fitness class I go to (to get a break from strength training, ya'know ... ;) ) I was admiring another woman's physique - she had phenomenal arms, shoulders, upper back, quads, and calves. I asked her what she was doing in addition to hip hop and she told me a boot camp led by another athletic…

No judgment... some plates deserve to be licked clean!

tapioca pearl from honeydew bubble tea... yummmmmm

This. It is worth repeating: Why are you inviting strangers to have this sort of power over you? Or you're just indignant about the BMI chart?....
-
OMG. This thread is ridiculous. I'm sorry I'm not sorry people are so offended by the notion that there might actually be something to eating (or not eating) in a manner that makes you feel better. Medical tests have their limitations. We're talking in circles and everyone is just defending their own positions - you're not…

Back in 2008, I started gaining a lot of weight, my skin was a mess, my immune system was a mess, I felt nauseated all the time, and I was having severe IBS. Finally, after talking with some friends about gluten sensitivity, I cut out gluten entirely in early 2009. I have never gone back. I immediately lost 20 lbs (water…

I get really confused by posts like this. Ditch the fake food and eat real food. I finally figured out how to hit 100 g of protein/day - make sure you are eating protein at every meal of real food poultry, eggs, natural no-sugar added PB, and fish/shellfish. I am trying to hit 15-20 g at breakfast, 20-30 g at lunch, a few…

I (bravely) calculated my BMI yesterday. (Yes, I still agree it's only one number and doesn't take into account the whole picture.) However! I discovered that I am *only* 18 lbs "overweight" (18 lbs from "Normal" range BMI) according to the BMI scale! I have never thought of myself as "only 20 lbs overweight" so it was…

Others have said it, but I want to reinforce it - you are beautiful and worthy now, and you were beautiful and worthy with an additional 41 kg. Congratulations on your hard work and achieving a milestone towards your goal.

Normally just a lurker/voyeur, but Trog's own gif is my favorite thing I've seen all week, and that's saying something considering I read Donald Sterling deposition transcripts about sex today. #TeamTrog

When I started in January, I was weighing in regularly once a week (usually Friday mornings). I've been a little lax about keeping on that schedule, but I did get on the scale a couple times this week and I have plateaued. I will commit to getting back on a regular routine of Friday morning weigh-ins. I also lost about 50…
-
Me too please... After losing 15, I've plateaued and haven't been as serious about staying within calories. I want to lose 10 in about 7 weeks, before my wedding dress fitting in mid-June.

Alright. Edited to not be a b*tch. With a special needs child, and opposite work schedules, it sounds like you two already have enough stress in your lives. It seems like you overall care about him and want to be supportive. Coming online and bashing him behind his back isn't conducive to that. There is absolutely nothing…
