Hey guys! New to the group and looking forward to getting back into action. SW 148.2 GW 115 I've been hovering between 150 and 145 for months now. If I could get down to 143 by the end of the month, I'd be super pleased. TOM is incoming next week though, so not expecting a whole lot for next week, but one can hope.

I wonder where you got these numbers from, but they must be for pure survival. 1g/lb of lean body mass is usually a good goal. The more the better!

If I wanted my husband's opinion, I'd give it to him.

Had to dig a bit to find this again. Posting so I can get it quickly!

Wait, so encouraging you to run earlier than you think you ought to is reverse encouragement? That makes no sense. Good luck on your goals.

My husband is 33, and I'm 20. It's difficult, but doable. Just be careful!

Yes, I asked my gynecologist about this in particular. She said the balance of hormones makes it perfectly safe to not have a period. Although you can often experience spotting, which does happen to me if I skip it for a while.

Hey there! I'm 5'1 as well, and just crept under 150. It's difficult, but worth it!

Thanks for this response. My concern as well. I told him earlier that if he ate that little, it'll just make it harder for him to maintain his LBM, and he'll gain weight faster in future. He claimed he just gains weight because he pigs out, and he'll be fine on this amount. I can't live on 1200, and I'm 5'1 - I hope he…

This is a great idea! There is a trainer at our gym that I wanted to make an appointment with. I'll put it on the table for discussion, t hank you. And yeah, don't you love being taught all the "new" things? Haha.

Thank you for the response! I don't know of anyone that might fit that bill. All of his family is pretty out of shape, and we live with out of shape roommates. You're probably right about not listening to my advice as his wife. However, part of me sometimes feels like he's ignoring my advice because I'm not losing weight…

bump! :love:

Bump :)

That's awesome! I've been picking up running as of about 3 weeks ago. I still can't continuously run, but I'm down to 14 minute miles. Super slow, I know, but definitely improving. Keep it up!

My counters say that I live with 3 nasty guys who don't know how to clean up after themselves :mad:

Finally caught up again! Bummmmp :3

It sounds like you're very well educated on your own health and eating habits. Yes, the number you got seems low based on your activities and lifestyle. Some people have suggested adding your exercise calories on top, but I find that a little redundant and confusing. If you're confident you've been eating a consistent…

Hey, I'm in the same boat sorta! I graduated highschool a year early and was pumped to go to school. Quickly lost the feeling of excitement, but enrolled in culinary school. Hated it, and dropped out halfway through. For years I couldn't even think of anything I wanted to go to school for. Now I'm enrolled 3 years later in…

I can only curl between 15-20, and my overhead press is 20lb dumbbells at the moment. Squats are up to 85lbs, but I'm a beginner to lifting :)

Bump! Also, I love those containers for your "replacement chinese take-out" - Looks awesome :)

Time to get rid of the baby! (*gets shot*) I love animals, but in this situation, I don't think de-clawing is inhumane. Good luck!

Really looking forward to the finale! Every episode, I'm concerned for the lives of Maggie, Hershel, and Andrea. I would be very surprised if Andrea survives the finale. This may have been mentioned already, but the Governor will survive this finale - the prison arc is supposed to last a second season. Not sure how they'll…

Go for it! My husband is 12 years older, and it's worked out great. Good luck! Edit: Oh god, nevermind. Just read the edit. No... just no...

I intend to eat creme eggs until they're coming out of my pores.

I watched it, and I certainly enjoyed a few parts. Overall though, I wouldn't recommend it to others. There was a whole lot of fear mongering and not a lot of personal responsibility when it came to food. I know that some people swear by it, but I tend to roll my eyes whenever people talk about food being equivalent to…

Bump! Love this thread <3 Now off to bed to have sweet dreams of titillating noms.

Congrats! Although it seems that he headed over to my place after you kicked him out :(

Poutine, and lots of it O.O

I'm currently living in Louisiana! Not quite a southerner, as I grew up in Canada, but trying to learn how to become one :)
