Incredibe! Go girl!!! What an inspiring life you've lived!

UGH! I have this problem too. I have all of these database foods in my recently and frequently used, but when putting together a recipe, NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! It's also making meal entry tedious, especially when it has more than 6 ingredients. It's weird because it used to be very good (still not as easy as the main…

"One minute you're defendin' the WHOLE GALAXY...and suddenly, you find yourself suckin' down DARJEELING with...Marie Antoinette, and her little sister..." I'm sorry. I had to. :laugh:

Isn't that the one that gets shot in the back of the head? :laugh:

^ THAT. Dump the pig and move on to look hott for someone who deserves it and appreciates you no matter how you look! Anywho, I was tired of seeing each picture taken of me looking fatter and fatter. I put it off for too long and I snapped back into reality.

Awesome to hear and see!!! Brag on, girl, brag on!!! :drinker:

^ Yup, that's what I do. Log it as cardio and search strength training and you'll find it there. :) No clue why it even offers the strength training option outside of that. I guess perhaps for people to quickly log it manually?

My dear, I think what needs to be understood here is that most of the initial posters who were saying your body is starving or that you were starving yourself did not mean you were depriving your body of necessary calories on purpose. They were telling you what was ACTUALLY happening and thus answering your question quite…

Frankly, I think you look like a man... :flowerforyou: Put a flower in your hair.

The BCP has different effects on different women because we're all....well...different. Those who say it doesn't make you gain weight are just as wrong/right as those who say it does make you gain weight. lol Honestly, it's going to take you about 3 months for your body to get used to it, regulate itself, and then you'll…

This made me laugh and depressed me all at once. :laugh: :cry:

I don't understand how people can make a sweeping statement like "it doesn't burn much" when there are so many ways to do it and so many varying time frames between couples. If you have a long romp, and/or do plank like positions, or any positions that work the core for prolonged periods of time, you can DEFINITELY burn…

:laugh:

HO.LY.COW! How in the world did you achieve such great abs?! I'm kinda obsessed with them now, LOL! What exercises did you do and how much weight were you using? Phenomenal job. :D

SOMEONE GETS IT! lol It's always funny when I told female fam members I was 32B. They'd always be like...You gained boobage! ...not so, my friends, not so... Also, breastfeeding doesn't give you saggy boobs, pregnancy in general gives you saggy boobs. Some people just use the myth as an excuse not to breastfeed, lol.…

This right here proves how subjective looks can be. Everyone's obviously got their own perspective on hot or not. :)

Exactly, to each their own. The OP didn't ask about natural abs, they just asked about abs on women. I posted the picture because I find abs sexy, but to a limit. The picture was the limit.

I know. People are entitled to their opinions so long as it's the right opinion! haha “I never chose the synthetic route because, although I wanted to be muscular, I also wanted to be FEMININE AND SEXY.” -Liza Reichenberger (emphasis mine) I suppose Herculiza the natural bodybuilder is bodybuilder shaming too, huh? lol

I do have it at 2lbs a week. I currently eat more than 1200 on most days. I actually follow MFP loosely as I know it can suggest quite extreme calorie limits for most people. I don't really feel much need to eat a lot more than 1200-1600. Is that a bad thing? I guess what I mean to ask is: Is there something I should be…

Drop dead gorgeous physique.

And because this topic is asking for OPINIONS...yes, that is exactly what I am implying. If you think an unnatural amount of testosterone is feminine, by all means, carry on in your ignorance. I happen to think defined abs are beautiful. I also happen to dislike what most competitive female bodybuilders do to their bodies…

:bigsmile: *Sits back shoving popcorn in her mouth and giggling* This is getting REALLY good...

Pretty amazing! Good luck in the future competitions! :D

LOL @ bodybuilder shaming. Please...it's called having a laugh at a silly question. Gain a sense of humor, buddy. BTW, we're allowed to like and dislike any body shape we want (as well as how it is achieved) because the appeal level of looks are all subjective. All I did was put a picture to what quite a few people were…

Makes sense, thank you!

c'mon...who WOULDN'T find that sexy and feminine?... :sick:

HAHA, you made me literally LOL. It's 3am, no bueno. :laugh:

I'd agree normally, but I also want to make sure I'm going about it in a healthy manner.

BTW, I failed to mention that MFP has me at a 1200 calorie limit. I try to be somewhere between 1200 and 1600 at the end of my day. I had 50lbs to lose when I started. The weight loss seems to be fine and I only eat when I'm hungry. I honestly am not too strict about how many calories I eat so long as I burn enough to stay…

While cancers have been found in animals that were tested in a small sample with the artificial sweeteners, there hasn't been enough evidence to link the two. However, I find that the small case sample was enough to keep me away from those. There's really nothing wrong with raw sugar. Heck, many people where cane sugar…
