I'm only 5'0", so a little bit of weight gained or lost is very noticeable on me. I think it was about 10 lbs when I started losing weight.

He showed zero interest in my children.

After 7 years of being glasses-free, my eye surgery kicked the bucket and I'm back in (lighter rx) glasses. I can't say I mind too much, these're cute af! :p

There's no such thing as "overly accurate". You're either accurate or you're not, and there's no point in logging at all if you're not being accurate. You might as well be guessing at that point.

Islands' cheddar fries. They closed down the one in our town, so I don't think I've had them in nearly a decade. But I still dream about them.

Strawberries Cucumbers Tomatoes Onions I especially love adding cooked onions to dishes to beef up flavor and volume, without drastically changing the macros.

Measuring is not the same as weighing. A cup of cereal or a tablespoon of butter can measure at something like 40% more than the serving size in grams. Get a digital kitchen scale, and weigh everything by the gram. Reassess in a month.

Nothing to be done about them, sorry. They are literal scars, and unless you're willing to shell out for hugely expensive laser surgery, you're stuck with them. Collagen lotions can reduce their appearance a little, but they'll never disappear completely.

That absolutely does not happen. Nothing in the body is being "kidded" into believing anything, and it doesn't spike insulin at all. Please check your sources before spreading misinformation.

Why do you think that? Weight gain comes from more calories than you are burning. Something that has no calories has no bearing on weight gain. I drink at least one diet soda a day when I prep for bikini shows, and clearly it's had no negative effect on my progress. (When I'm not in prep I have ~2 a week)

lolno

Not only that, but the phrase is quoted straight-up WRONG. The original phrase was "blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb" which means the people you covenant with (particularly in marriage and on the battlefield) tie you closer than just being related. So it literally means the exact opposite of what…

If you have quick reflexes and are waiting for it, it usually doesn't matter. It helps that my car accelerates a heck of a lot faster than it looks, so it takes tailgaters by surprise. If I know they're faster I'll try to Mexican Roadblock them.

I take my foot off the gas and slow to a coasting crawl...averaging about 8 miles an hour. When they get impatient and change lanes to pass me, I gun it hard and keep them behind me. The rage it causes them is glorious. Lol.

Eating "healthy" really does absolutely nothing if you are still eating too much. Sucks, but there's the facts. You can gain weight if you eat just broccoli and lean fish, if you're eating more calories than your body is burning. Use this site's food logging feature, accurately and consistently. Weigh your food on a…

I lift heavy 5-6 x a week, I started about 7 years ago. I log my food every day, too.

Whatever keeps you in deficit.

Pretty dress! If you work really hard and stay consistent from now until then, you MIGHT be able to drop another 10 pounds, but there's no guarantee your body will choose to drop that weight in places necessary to make the zipper close, know what I mean? Your best bet was to buy a dress that fit. Having seen that ship…

I have a 10 month old (on Wednesday, lol) and am looking to slim down as much as I can before we try for baby #4 when the baby turns one! I also have a 7 year old and a 3.5 year old.

To be the fit mom at the pool and beach that other moms hate. Can't put my finger on why, but I LOVE getting dirty looks for rocking a daringly tiny bikini in public while out with my kids. I think it's hilarious.

Yes, I lost 30 of my 40 pounds of baby weight with just deficit alone. As I got more into fitness and wanted to lean out, I slowly shifted focus more onto macros. Calories are still king, but macros are pretty important for long-run health, aesthetics and athletic performance.

I've been on antidepressants for years. They don't magically make you gain weight, they only occasionally increase your appetite. If you can control your food intake, there's no reason you have to gain weight while on them.

My workouts almost ALWAYS kill my appetite. Rest days I'm suddenly starving. It's weird.

An hour is all the more you really need. However, only doing arm exercises is going to shoot yourself in the foot. When you consistently train only one muscle group, you create strength imbalances that are going to lead to injuries later on. Make sure you're hitting all the body's muscle groups (chest, arms, back, legs,…

Yeah, unfortunately you can't choose or control where the weight comes off. The human body is a jerk, and it's gonna lean out where it wants. My face and arms always get REALLY skinny by the time my butt and thighs finally get with the program. >:(

I'm 5'0", and lost 40 lbs from my first kid. (then 20 again from my second and third each). When I get chubby I gain a little in my face. Not enough to have a double chin or anything, but enough to be very noticeable when comparing before and after shots. When I first start losing weight, it always appears to start in my…

"Responsible for tearing apart two families"? What about the two people who...i dunno ACTUALLY tore two families apart? Are you familiar with the term "don't shoot the messenger"? Are you familiar with accountability at all, for that matter? Is that the same thought process you'd use if it were your own husband cheating on…

NOPE. I stay in my own lane. I don't know what those women did to lose the weight, and it's not my place to compare.
