i went overboard the other day (to my friends: yes, i sneakily did not log it... :D) with homemade double almond chocolate chip cookies, like 1000+ over my goal and the next day i had gained 5lbs which i assume is the "water weight" they are talking about here:…

there was this guy, a perfect stranger really that i kept seeing when i walked my dog and one day he comes up to me and says "oh youve lost some weight" so i said "no not really, ive always been a size 8, occasionally 10" and he says "nono you were like a 14 a while ago, but dont worry, it looked good on you, i liked your…

ive only lost 9 pounds and i already fit comfortably into jeans i could not close before. :)

that should be your goal at all times, not just during a "cleanse" ;)

cheer up girl ;)

i second that :) also, try to imagine that some of the skinny women dont look at you to judge, but that they are looking at you thinking "good for her :) bravo!"

mmm that's yum

pure cheerful amazing :D

try to comfort yourself with the fact that he most likely didnt mean to offend you. people are just thoughtless or try to make jokes without realising that they are hurting/offending someone. thats no excuse for what he said but a different way to take it in. :) also: he probably didnt pay attention to your weight loss…

considering your hight and weight and that you actually dont want to lose but keep your weight and get toned, id say no less than 1400 on days you dont work out (depends if you are active apart from your workouts-if you spend a lot of time on your feet its closer to 1600). when you do work out, eat back your burnt calories.

this is how i sorted out mine: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=156380183 hope it helps :)

all my life apart from 1 year.. :p edit: i realise that sounds really sad, kinda is. its not that i want to be alone but i dont want to be with the wrong person either. better alone than in the wrong company. :)

^this :)

you should definitely eat back the calories you burn with exercise. im no expert but as far as i know people should not eat below their BMR, EXCEPT when they have a lot of weight to lose, then it is ok for a while. so, seeing how you have 100kg and are 165cm tall i would say it is ok.

also a very good one! :)

wow this is interesting! width makes total sense but i didnt think the actual size could change.. :)

i just posted this in another thread so i hope the copy/pasting isnt bad forum etiquette, but it fits here as well! ;) i will try to make it very simple. 1) eat fewer calories than you burn 2) exercise at least 2-3 times a week - this does not have to happen in a gym. i do step aerobics and bodyweight training at home and…

i will try to make it very simple. 1) eat fewer calories than you burn 2) exercise at least 2-3 times a week - this does not have to happen in a gym. i do step aerobics and bodyweight training at home and it works great for me! i love not having to go somewhere and being able to do it anytime with no money spent (apart…

cause youre a rock star! :)

i call troll :P

hug!

i havent tried this but it sounds interesting: http://www.everydaymaven.com/2013/how-to-make-cauliflower-rice/

sigh.. every time i go read a thread in hope of a quick and easy answer i end up doing research for a whole day lol. cant it ever be simple?? :P and for the "google it" people: i did google and it brought me here!

lives in the prairies? :P

well maybe your body is lacking something important that you arent giving it. it would be easier if people could look at your diary. also: i had a little peanutbutter issue the other day ;) so i realised my body was craving things and so adjusted my goals. lowered carbs, upped fat and now there is a place for peanutbutter…

likes adventure! :)

i have noticed how ive become really obsessed with calories, macros, etc.. too ever since i started using mfp. but if its the only way for me to achieve my goals (tried long enough without mfp) then im willing to accept that ill be thinking about my diet a lot of the time. sometimes i have to take a step back and remind…

i use these: http://www.vegansociety.com/shop/supplements/veg1-blackcurrant-180s pretty inexpensive and do the trick. :)

it just so happens that i spent a good amount of time searching for cauliflower recipes myself today and i found A LOT that sound amazing and i want to try. most of them are super healthy too (in the sense of no cheese/not much fat), with a few exceptions. disclaimer: they are all vegan, because i only searched for vegan…
