Soylent Green is made out of people.

Just ignore the scale for that week or so. Honestly, it will make you crazy.

I haven't posted a single pic of myself yet, but here goes! I was volunteering with Habitat for Humanity, and someone sent me photos from the trip. It was a giant slap in the face! Woof. That was 32 pounds ago. I have a long way to go still, but am NEVER going back to this.

Um, who's bragging? People are fessing up with some shame here. But it's helpful to know that you're not the only one who's done this and struggled with this type of food disorder.

Sounds like the recipe for a good colon cleanse! YIKES!

or Bailey's Irish Cream. HAHA. mmmmm

A shot of Jameson's Irish Whiskey. :drinker:

Measuring tape helps. And muscle tone starts to show. You can feel the change. But definitely take measurements!

I love some chips and a serving of Batchelors beans on top! Mmmmm. Talk about processed food! It's delightful.

I eat frozen chips quite often in my household. The important thing is to really pay attention to the portion size for the calories. For someone coming out of bad eating habits, It's really easy to eat 2 full portions without realizing it! Cook them and enjoy!

Giving up my lazy nights of watching TV and snacking was the hardest hurdle to overcome. I eat the food I really want, and just try to make sensible choices the majority of my days and watch portions. But the old night-time habits were the hardest to change, definitely. But now, if I miss my evening workouts, I actually…

FOOD PORN! I love the pictures. Mmmmmmm...

1-2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar, 1 tsp Olive oil, italian seasoning blend, maybe even a squeeze of lemon. BAM. done.

I'm sorry for your struggle. I can feel your pain in your post. Perhaps that medication you are taking is causing issues? Maybe it's time for a new doctor?

If you truly are weighing, measuring and being fully honest with yourself on your food intake, and your exercise, I'd also recommend this.

Ugh, I'm sorry you're feeling that way!! Ditto to everything here! Are you drinking enough H2O to compensate for what you lose exercising? That always makes me feel lethargic and grumpy, as I start to get dehydrated. Also, are you over-exercising? Like, are you pounding through the cardio every day, but not giving your…

I like Germany! WOO! Mmmm....beer.

Ohhh....coconut milk sounds like a good idea! I'll have to try that one.

Lazy, ate too much, didn't deal with my stress/emotions the way I should have. Bad choices. Did I mention laziness? :ohwell: I let myself fall into a funk and just didn't bother to fight to get back out. It was easier. One day I just decided I was tired of feeling like feces, so I asked my doctor to refer me to a nutrition…

Plus you get your dairy! :)

If you use a drip coffee maker with grounds - i used to add some cinnamon to the coffee grounds before I brewed it. It adds a really lovely flavor to the coffee. Then I would just put in some skim milk. Other options I've tried include a little vanilla extract or a little almond extract. I don't do sweet coffee, I just…

HAHAHA! Ok, thank you. I get that too, and didn't know it! After a particularly challenging kickboxing workout, I'm usually more sore on the 2nd day (which is this morning actually and my thighs are killing me). I am a little disappointed about the topic though. Was looking forward to hearing some of those dom answers!…

I bought my first pair of "normal size" pants in the store in the early spring. I was SO excited to not be shopping at Lane Bryant. They were a snug fit, but a fit, so I got them. They are falling off me now! I could just about pull them off me without even unbuttoning them.

WOW!! These are wonderful to read!

I thought this thread was about an entirely different type of Dom. Sorry. What does DOMS stand for please?

Fun-loving

I know. Been here a long time. I just found this visual helpful. A trainer gave it to me.

neigh.

Wow, congratulations on all of your successes! You have accomplished so much and look amazing. Enjoy it!! You've earned it.

oops
