There are a lot of "nutritionists" here with self righteous attitudes. One person's way of eating is not necessarily right or wrong because it's not what you prescribe to. So, how about having some manners and either answering the question or leaving your opinions to yourself rather than high jacking this woman's thread...…

No effing way..

Single mom, here! B)

I'm in. Friend me up! lol.

I've been to Oman! When I was in the military. It was really nice where we were.

Hi there! I'm from San Francisco but lived 5 years just outside of Nashville! I'm on a 20lb goal right now. Welcome and good luck :)

115, the weight I was when I got married. And that was after a kid so I know I can do it! I'm currently 140, 5'4"

For me, going on a 2 week strict low carb diet (Atkins Induction style) kicks the cravings, 100%. It's a miserable first week, second you start to feel amazing. Good luck, you've got this. Don't listen to people picking apart whether it's an addiction or not- that's not the point- the point is to find what works for you.

Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to getting back to being strong and confident. :)

haha, I love it! You've got this!

That first one you get is something you'll never forget! I practiced for months using resistance bands to help me up. And then I would always try to do one without. One day, after class, I was just messing around and hopped up on the bar and did it! Good luck! Can't wait to hear when you finally reach that goal!

Thank you! Some people are so judgmental. I happen to LOVE lifting, love HIIT training, love sprints but absolutely hate running. And you know what else I hate; cycling for the same reason.

Wrong. It is boring... doing the same thing for 30 minutes is not for me. I prefer HIIT training- short bursts and changing it up. That's why I love crossfit... so, whatever to me it IS BORING. Get off your high horse and stop being judgmental

You could have lactic acid buildup in your muscles as well as inflammation, causing you to retain water. Building muscle is essentially injuring them. I always put on weight when lifting and it sucks. But give it two weeks and your body will start to level out.

San Francisco!

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

Calm... it's a drink you take. They sell it at WF's. I love it- it helps you sleep, too.

BPC keeps me satisfied for hours! It's so amazing (and delicious) :)

I keep mine around 1200 +/-. I'm pretty little and a few extra calories affects me a lot.

cheese crisps are great!

I've used them for over 10 years and they've always been really accurate for me. Although, bad breath is an even better indicator, lol...

Wow! That is only 5 months in???? May I ask how much you lost? You look amazing, girl!

Hi everyone! I'm on day 3 of induction and haven't gotten on the scale yet but know that I have about 20 pounds to lose. I had been maintaining a healthy weight for years but 2 years ago I met the love of my life and packed on 25 pounds. I'd really like to shake them off by the 4th of July and but I understand that's a lot…
