Well you did just answer an "A or B" question with "yes", for starters.

Wat

2700 sounds like your TDEE, not your BMR. Being under medical supervision is a good idea. I would try not to go below 2000 with your weight, but your doctor likely knows best in this case. Good luck :)

SW: 151 CW: 139.3 GW: 135 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (5/01 Thur): 5/03 Sat: 5/10 Sat: 5/17 Sat: 5/24 Sat: End of Month (5/31 Sat): Total weight lost: The last time I did one of these (October) I found it really successful, so long as I remembered the challenge existed, haha. I've never been one for consistant weighing,…

This nutrition information is almost identical to normal wheat pasta...

You did over 7 hours of continuous walking today?

Woo, lots of ulcurative colitis people, yay (sorta)! When I was taking 45mg/day, I found it almost impossible. I ballooned up at the start and was able to just about maintain (maybe 5lbs gain over the 3 months or so I was at full dose). I've been on prednisone 4 times for about 4-5 months at a time. It's -possible-, but I…

Up 2.6 lbs from the beginning of the week. I overate a ton, but even still, I imagine no more than 1lb of that is real weight. Lots of water today :)

I agree. I try not to get huffy about it, but after dealing with tons of binges, it has little to do with the actual amount of food. Just the eating for the sake of eating and not enjoying or having the control to stop it.

SW: 148.2 CW: 143.4 Total lost: 4.8lbs since the beginning of the month. Super pleased with this! I think I'm aiming to lose another 5 lbs by the end of December (which likely means, losing 5 lbs in November and not gaining it over the holidays). Great job everyone!

Maintained my weight at 144 this week. Pretty okay with that, as tracking and even my workouts suffered for a number of reasons. So close to the 5lbs for the month, so this is the time to bring it back in :)

5'1 here :) HW: 165 CW: 144 GW: 115 I usually hang around 135, and felt good-ish at that size. Still think it would be exciting to be lower, especially now that I'm working on strength training (I wanna see that definition!) Right now I'm trying to work out 5 days a week, but feeling like 4 might be better. Tuesdays I run…

I'm not sure what advice I can really give, but I told my doctor that my heart rate averages about 180 when I'm doing rigorous exercise, sometimes up to 200 if I'm really pushing. The doctor was surprised, but said to keep an eye on it. It's been like that for years for me though.

This is my favorite response so far (from someone on my FB who likely weighs 350+ lbs): This woman is clearly obsessed with fitness. She's a recovering bulimic, and that doesn't really say healthy things about her relationship with food and exercise. It's probably a good thing she has boys. What ignorance. Good for this…

Omg, pork poutine. Was it at Pig in Victoria? That's the only place I used to get it, and I'd kill for a bite of that now!

Hey there, I'm 20 and in my freshman year at college. Working hard to lose the Freshman 15 instead of gain it :) So far so good - school keeps me too busy to be eating all day!

Start of the Month: 148.2 Last Week: 145.6 This Week: 144 So pleased and honestly shocked. My goal for this week was to be at 146 at the very most. I worked out Monday-Friday with weights all days except a 5k on Tuesday, and then went rock wall climbing on Saturday. Once Friday hit, I ate from restaurants, chips and…

Half Baked, all day baby.

My husband and I live off of one income, and we save 25% of it. With the rest, it covers rent, car payment, groceries, a small fun/restaurant budget. Outside of that we don't really buy anything. In fact, I'm a little envious - I tend to get a haircut about once every 6 months. I really want to go get something funky done,…

Semi-related

We opted for an eternity band instead of the traditional engagement ring/band. Both for financial reasons, and I liked the simplicity of this best. Ignore my tiny baby hands!

I've certainly been there. It's tough, even now. People look at me funny when I ask "Is this squat rack free?" The more time I spend there, the less I seem to notice people even taking a second glance. Good luck!

Oops, I was totally late to this :( SW: 148.2 GW (for this month): 142.2 Current Weight: 145.6 Down 2.6 lbs! Hoping it stays off - I have a habit of fluctuating for months on end after one big meal. Really ramped up my workouts so far.

I'm so addicted to sugar (threads).

Great job! I'm impressed, even with your speed at your higher weight. It took me 47 minutes to run a 5k yesterday, eep! Keep up the great work!

I've had this happen for a while. Went a year with no period for no reason at all. Doctor said it wasn't a concern and it can just 'happen' for a number of reasons. I was never worried enough to really test it out, and enjoyed that year of freedom!

People have given you some pretty solid answers to your questions - not sure why you're getting defensive about it :ohwell:

Always a welcome addition to a balanced diet.

I say stick labels on GMO foods. Let those who have this irrational fear of their satan-like upbringing avoid them. More for the rest of us!
