That's awful. It sucks when the stresses from our life invade our rest. I don't have food dreams but I have had dreams where my body just won't ...go. Like, I'm strengthless.

SO many misconceptions about PF. And, I doubt there are other gyms for $10 a month.

Okay...someone break it down to me, as this is the second thread I've seen bashing PF. Is it the Walmart of gyms and being anti is the "in" thing? I think it's a great option for those who can't afford local, over priced gyms.

I'll look them up. Yeah some of it felt a bit ambientish for running, but was pleasant to have coffee to this morning. Earl Sweatshirt. If you like Madlib, you might like him too.

Good list! I have tons of Odd Future, Tyler the Creator, Earl, Madlib currently on my iPod. I will definitely check out more that you listed. Thanks all!

Ha! Glad I wasn't the only one giggling at this.

Hey! So, firstly big congrats on kicking that ED to the wayside. I know personally that is not a small feat and something on it's own to be very proud of. Secondly, you were beautiful before and certainly after, but it shows how happy you are now. You look amazing and ought to be very proud of your healthy changes and…

"Research it a little", she says. You are asking other people if being cold, having a white tongue and no energy is normal.

Planet Fitness is inexpensive and nondouchey. Back off, bro. Hmm DLS....If a woman gets on a treadmill next to me, I will look at how fast she's going and secretly use her as motivation while I work out. "Oh, you're going 3.8. That's cool. I'll be going 4.0 soon". I will also do more reps if someone is impatiently/rudely…

I would feel a lot more confident in the weights section if every male in a 500 foot radius didn't feel the need to blatantly stare and make judgement. But, hey, that's just me.

I keep mine closed. My body, my journey, my results. I don't think everything in the world needs to be open to others comments and insensitivities.

This! I think measuring at the narrowest point is great for an ego boost, but pretty unrelated to measuring ones overall loss.

Absolutely! I drank vodka quite heavily as my preferred drink for the last two years. Thirty pounds later...

1. 12 lbs. 2. 3 months 3. I don't count calories. Just eat balanced, low carb 85% of the time. I guesstimate I eat/ate anywhere from 1200-2000 depending on the day. 4. Sometimes only twice, sometimes five days a week. 5. 300-600 a session

Another idea to consider if you're sleeping more, noticing appetite changes and tired, is it possible you are experiencing depression?

Brian, Brian, Brian...your story is so moving and encouraging. You overcame so much. I'm so glad you have Jackie as a friend and confidante. You truly look happy. I hope you are.

I've done her workouts beforehand they are wonderfully effective. I'm just trying to find it online to save some bucks. Might have to just go get it though. I hear her 39 day shred is intense.

North Carolina native, myself! What is this ChaLEAN you speak of?

I'm 5'9" 166 pounds and have been considering myself a "rollie pollie ollie". (My code phrase for calling myself fat). A shame, right? What I loved about this thread is how I get to see women around my height's stats and pictures. It's so easy to look at you all and see how beautiful and non-fat you are. Makes me…

Ha! Thanks for all the rationalizing, reminders and laughs everyone. I knew my sodium intake was high, but had no idea what that really affected or why I should care at 25. (I can't get high cholesterol yet! Eye roll). I've noticed my daily mood changes each time I weigh myself, as well as the number. Maybe it's time to…

I eat very low carbs and fill up on lean meats, colorful salads, eggs and some fruit instead. Sometimes I will admit to being a little hungry, but worst comes to worse a huge salad with low fat dressing and warm tea only adds on an extra 100 calories, at most. If I want to indulge in a bunless burger or brownie I make sure…

Stooping so low to criticize peoples personal choices in food? This is out right disgusting. Stay out of others relationships with their bodies. Unless they ask, no advice is appropriate to give.

1) Totally doable. 2) I respect your choice in goal and date. No you don't HAVE to lose for a concert, but this is clearly a motivation for you and therefore positive. 3) Would love to hear how you're coming along. Good luck!

I just have to say how mind blowing it is that you have lost so much in such a short period! You must have busted your *kitten*. Major kudos to you. Looking at someone's before and after is like watching a caterpillar become a butterfly. Such transformation.

You might consider lower calorie options for your alcohol intake. Someone suggested this site to me and it's come in handy: http//www.getdrunknotfat.com. Also, prepare a light dinner prior, eat, wait an hour or so for it to begin digesting and breaking down calories to fuel and then have a small amount of alcohol. Drink…

You can see such a difference in your face and abdominal region. Keep it up, girl! You're doing this.

Sassy lady! Love the red lips on you.

It's funny how different things motivate us all. I tell myself I'm a f#%*ing phoenix. Cheesy maybe, but it helps.

You seem incredible personable, fun and down to earth. Your personality shines in your picture.

I think, if possible, it would be far more constructive to celebrate the achievements you have made versus running yourself through the ol' "should be's" and self-degradation. Twenty-two pounds lost shows that you've made changes, are dedicated and capable. Please try to take those desires to push harder and turn them into…
