I try to keep things light and overall I am happy with my body and I enjoy being active. I also love food so there's a fine balance. I love seeing women who rock their curves!! My post isn't meant to body shame myself or anyone, Rather, I just wanted to hear if others struggle with the same inner thoughts now and again. I…

I just made a very similar post. I'm the same boat and also need some tips and help to get motivated. It seems a lot harder this time around than it did initially

I love this thread!! I have 4 and ALWAYS have to rewash and hang almost daily! It's very annoying but I cant exactly afford to double the amount of sports bras I have! I wish I could though!! I have also had to buy smaller bras as I lose weight, which is kind of bitter sweet. For reference, I have 3 Panache underwire…

Thank you, this is just what I was looking for!!!

This is great -- I find its a lot easier to keep on track when I mostly eating the same foods, but it gets tricky when I'm on holidays! Thanks for the tips!! :)

This is all so spot on!! Perhaps I'm feeling extra guilty because it's summer, and I've been on vacation, which makes it feel like I have derailed!!

Funny -- that's sort of how I feel! Once you learn the way to eat and portion control properly, logging should be optional. I sort of figured when I started logging, it would help me understand, and learn how many calories are in what, portion sizing, and even macros. More of a learning tool than a life long thing. Seems…

I suspect this bit is key--when I go out to eat, it's transparent to my company that just before bed I'm going to brush my teeth, floss, and log what I ate. What exactly drove your boyfriend crazy? When, just before bed you said, "Give me 20 minutes to check my e-mail and log my day and I'll be right up?" [/quote] Less…

Wow - Overwhelming response! Thanks everyone!! Don't get me wrong, I have loved using MFP, but I just found that I was starting to see food as calories, rather than being able to just enjoy what I was eating. I have found since I stopped logging, that I gradually stopped thinking purely Calories, but then, turned into not…

Squats are great! Maybe ask an employee at your gym to show you proper form. I also agree with others, to do different variations. Deadlifts always kick my butt!!

80/20 is a good rule of thumb, but it's tough to not go over that! I try and stick with my macros as closely as possible, but i find that very difficult sometimes. Alcohol doesn't exactly fit into that equation. http://getdrunknotfat.com/ this site is great!! I generally never drink beer, but I am sucker for whisky and…

These are all great suggestions!! My schedule changes a lot in the summer time, which gives me lots of time to workout and be active which is great. I just find it really hard to be as diligent with eating. BBQ is great, and I can generally make better choices than I did last summer (like bunless burgers, more veggies ect)…

This is very helpful! Thank you!!

Hello! I have gone through the exact same thing! I found that it's much easier to stay on track by doing 2 things - 1) If you are craving sweets like chocolate, have it! Just dont eat 12 cookies, have 1 or 2. I think the more you try and replace the things you really want, with half as good substitutions is where you can…

I used to struggle BIG time with breakfast!! I know just how you feel! Now I do a shake in the morning, and I am completely addicted! I add a banana, spinach or kale, chia seeds, 0% greek yogurt for protein, and whatever fruit I have on hand, or frozen berries. Its such a refreshing way to start the day!! and generally…

Can you explain a bit more about what cross fit is, and what some of the exercises are? Thank you so much!

This is what I am afraid of, there have been a couple times after a workout when I feel light headed.
-
This is great -- thank you! Once a week or so, I feel the NEED for a cheat meal (Sushi, a burger, pizza ect) and at least once a week I just have super low energy. I suspected that the 1200 was too low, but i just liked seeing the results. I am afraid now that it might be effecting my body negatively. I just calculated my…

Maybe you are gaining muscle? Have you been tracking measurements or body fat?
