can we not call people "fatty" and etc please? Thanks.
-
Me too! sort of ::laughs:: I was very attracted to my husband when i first met him but he was not my "type" so I never figured it would last longer than a weekend ... 15 years later we are still together and happy. The funny thing is both of us gained and lost weight (at different times and for different reasons) during…

Try a different protein powder and see what happens. You can get protein powders made w/ egg-white protein or milk protein instead of whey. If you are getting bloated and gassy its probably a food intolerance (not a food allergy, but related).

In the "LOL worthy" category ... I ordered NROLFW off Ebay and they sent me the wrong book. Get ready for this, it's a barbie coloring book called "Barbie Princess Charm School" O____O I feel like i just got trolled by ebay! So i guess i'll continue working w/ my 15 & 20 pound dumbells until i get the damn CORRECT book in…

you are just retaining water, it happens after you work out. just keep going, it takes time to actually lose weight and the weight "gain" is just temporary.

mariposa224 - I'm doing 30DS too (Level #2, Day 4) but i'm alternating it with kickboxing and bike riding so i'm not doing it every day, I'm also walking at least 45 minutes a day (the husband and I take a walk before dinner). My new plan is to alternate 30DS Mon/Thurs, lifting heavier weights Tues/Fri, and kickboxing…

THANK YOU! that helps a lot!

LOL, i guess I am just worried about my waist. I know you really can't "spot reduce" so if i carry most of my fat in my belly i have to reduce total body fat. I'm a goal-oriented person though so i want to tweak my goals to be more in line w/ that ... I'm just not sure how to do it I guess. How does one measure body-fat %…

bumpin for help.

I went to a local restaurant about 2 months ago and ordered a pasta dish that was EASILY 8 servings - seriously, there was no way I could have eaten half of it and I can put food away like a champ. I took the rest home in a big box and had 2 more meals out of it and had to finally throw the rest away. I wasn't born in the…

What's w/ the lack of love for tight jeans? I hate having to guess a man's religion. heh.

Wallet? Girls love a guy w/ a big fatty wallet.

This is sooooo common, sadly. Some people genuinely want to make sure you are losing weight in a healthy, non-obsessive way ... but yes some are jealous and for some it just brings up their own insecurities. With the friends that don't care for my lifestyle changes i try not to talk about it because it will just make me…

i cheer for the bigger people! well, inside, generally i won't break out into actual cheers, but i'm super glad to see anybody and everybody working hard ... especially since i know how tough it is. Keep it up <3

I'm Insulin Resistant so i'm low sugar (and therefore relatively low-startch and low-carb) But i don't go too crazy w/ it. I try and keep my protein as high as i can and i really don't care about fats since i tend to eat GOOD fats. You can peek at my diary if you want, it's open. I'm not super "clean" or anything just…

they are Fluevogs :) Of course in a thread about great bodies i get a complement on my shoes, ROFL, story of my life! :D

Someday i'm going to be confident enough to post abikini pic ... but not today!
-
girl, please talk to your doc just to make sure - sounds like you know that right? right. Yes, w/ blood sugar issues breakfast is important, getting a good protein in there will help keep your sugars even thought the day and help a little w/ your energy too - i reccommend eating hardboiled eggs! Hardboiled eggs can easily…

Work out more to make up for it. For happy hour, i'd get a rum and diet coke* for my first drink and then just top off w/ diet coke for the rest of the night. At wine tastings i stick to wine but don't really go for the crackers/cheese or just have a little (i do love cheese). Buffets usually have vegetarian choices (i…

By the way, i LOVE your answer. You have a hard road but you have taken the BEST attitude. I'm totally cheering for you! I'm insulin resistant so sadly i'll never go off my meds completely but i am on the lowest dosage possible because of my weight-loss. Keep fighting for your best life possible, it's so worth it!!
-
I'm really shallow ... 1) seeing myself naked and likit what i see and 2) not having to shop in the fat-girl-store (fitting into "L"s and sometimes "M"s is amazing after a lifetime of "does it come in XXL?? oh damn"

1. Happily Married. (+1 cat, -0 Children) Come at me Bro.

My cat likes to run underneath when i do planks or leg-lifts ... he has NO IDEA how close he is to being smushed. It's all great fun until a sweaty 150 pound woman smothers you. On the other hand, it's great motivation to hold that plank position when you have a cat-full of claws and teeth under you O_O
-
I have insulin resistance (related) and the metformin will definately help you int he long run, stick with it - it took me about a week for my body to get used to it but it helped me a lot. Definately you will need to make sure your carbs and sugars are low, get more lean protein (I eat a lot of eggs and chicken and…
-
that is just ... insane, i have no other way I can see it. But you know, HE is the one w/ the problem. Turn his *kitten*-hattery into your motivation, go back to that gym and be a hero. sounds like a lot of the other guys there (the non-crazy ones) will have your back. If you can go back and point him out to the staff…

you know that there are women on here actively building muscle too right? :) just saying!

dress up like Lara Croft? Wear one of those skyrim helmets and a smile? ok, to be serious, maybe he had ED and can't get it up ... he could just need help, is he taking any medications?

1 cup Quinoa (prepare per box), when finished but still hot and steamy add 1/4th cup dried currants and let cool. Add a handful of finely diced jicama and 1/2th cup slivered almonds. I know the currants and jicama might sound off but it's AWESOME. Savory and crunchy and sweet and fruity <3

I'm 5'5" and around 155 (153-157 depending on the day, hour, phase of the moon, whatever) at 37 years old. I'm also one of those EVIL creatures that eats around 1,100-1,200 cal a day (occasionally more if i get hungry, about 1,350 or so). My exercise is either lifting moderate weights (10-pound dumbells) in the morning or…

like Classicbdw, i have to say diabetes (though in my case it appears to be insulin resistance - but when i was 220 it was functionally diabetes). I still don't like it, i have ALWAYS likes lifting weights much more, but i think you have to be balances and do a lot of different stuff or you get into a rut - mentally and…
