40 years old 5'4" SW was 194. Current weight is 185. GW is 155 which is what I weighed before I had kids. That's a weight I know I can achieve, maintain and feel good at. I don't care at all about BMI. I know that if I exercise consistently I both look good and feel great at 155 and since I have no health concerns…

About once a month I go on long hike (10+ miles), and those days always end with a really indulgent meal that includes a few beers, lots of carbs and my very own unshared dessert :smile: . I look forward to it immensely. I log it all and don't really think of it as a "cheat" since it fits my lifestyle but it does feel…

She may be eating more than she realizes but PCOS affects your body in many ways that can complicate weight loss that go beyond where you carry weight so it may not be that simple. Impossible for us to say based on the information given. Some people do need meds to lose with PCOS and lots if women with PCOS also have…

None taken. But I had to laugh at the idea that it was a post work out "glow". Hardly! lol. actually don't get embarrassed about it anymore when exercising. But when I'm post shower in work clothes and still look like I have a horrible sunburn or something it's another story. It just doesn't look professional and frankly,…

Doesn't seem to make a difference. It lasts through a shower. Even if I rinse with cool water. Just time from what I can tell. A friend recommended this ice packed headband/ scarf thing that she uses when she runs in the Palm Springs heat to try to keep my temp down a bit but that seems a little ridiculous in an air…

Definitely log those carefully. When you juice you remove the fiber from the fruit and vegetables so it's much easier to eat larger volumes of them and the calories can start adding up quickly. It's not unusual at all for a serving of green juice to have over 200 calories. I get one at my local juice place as an occasional…

You sure could, but I think very, very few people actually do. Green leafy veggies or watery fibrous veggies like celery, salad greens, spinach, peppers, zucchini, cucumber, broccoli...all very low calorie and very hard to overeat to any significant degree due to how much fiber and general volume of food you get along with…

Not sure if anyone else has said it yet but OP, if you aren't trolling (and I assume you are not) I'd see a doctor. You sound like you have developed some very disordered eating habits and possibly some very disordered views of your body given your goal weight. Men get eating disorders too and it isn't any more healthy for…

It's definitely possible because I'm eating at a deficit and have lost inches (and pounds) everywhere except my calves. I've gained close to half an inch in both of my calves (more in my left one for some reason, a bit less on my right). I am training for a long hike and am doing lots and lots of hill walking and stair…

Wow, you look wonderful! 32 pounds is my goal (I'd love to get to 45 but trying to be realistic about what I can be successful about maintaining) and it's really inspiring to see someone who has done it!
