I personally love using the term "Big Hunk of Man" but I am in no way a chubby chaser. I use it to refer to guys who are really well built, lets just say haha. My friends make fun of me because when we see a cute guy, I will say "Look at that big hunk of man!" but its not something I would call a guy to his face.

I always see it as a really backhanded compliment. And maybe most guys say it with good intentions, and think it will be taken as a compliment. But, if I am beautiful, I am beautiful. I am not beautiful because of my size and the fact that you have a thing for bigger girls. And, I am certainly not beautiful in spite of my…

Most people do not think of the term BBW to relate to someone who is a bit bigger, but fit. If that was the case I think it'd be an okay term. Personally, I feel stuck in the middle. I'm not that big, I've played sports my entire life, I'm constantly at the gym. But I am certainly not small either. And just because a…

Poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Its basically a hormonal imbalance in women that affects their reproductive organs, metabolism, and more.

I was diagnosed when I was 17. I am currently on metformin and bc. I've lost 33 pounds in the past few months!

I wouldn't say they're bad. But, there are better alternatives. I think the Atkins frozen dinners are the best because they are high in protein, fiber, etc. and low in sugar and carbs. The calories are also in check (usually around 300 for a meal) They're a great way to get more protein in, 330 calories for 27g of protein…

I have a serious problem with this. There needs to be a procrasturbation support group

I think you just said everything that needs to be said on the topic. xD I think you're correct, what it boils down to is respect.

Right?! I feel like its the same things as saying "You're pretty for a fat girl." It's just backhanded. And even coming from a guy who prefers bigger girls, its just weird. If he calls you that and you know he prefers bigger girls then it goes back to the fetish thing. It's an endless cycle.

Tell me about it! I have Triple D's and whenever a guy finds that out, it's like all I am now is a pair of tits.

The first instance with her comments about me not looking like I had lost any weight was about 4 years ago. I actually did move 700 miles away like you! College has given me that great opportunity to get my own space. I would say things with her have calmed down since I moved out, but when I do move home for breaks,…

I can't wait until I see the large physical changes, like a jaw line. I can't wait for that. I notice my stomach sticks out far less. My boobs have somehow gotten bigger. The workout clothes I bought 6 months ago are falling off of me. I guess I keep making excuses, that there must be another explanation. It's so hard to…

I really related to this comment, I've had experiences like that as well. Believe me, I have a drawer of shirts I will never wear again because of a bad memory like that. You reminded me of when I went bathing suit shopping with my mom when I was maybe 15, and she made me try on a one piece. Which I never wear because…

Those comments she made were when I was losing weight a few years ago, but you are right. She was probably resentful. I was young and just believed her. I gave up and gained the weight back. I let those comments destroy me. You hit the nail on the head. My mom has her own set of weight issues. When I was 12 I told her I…

No worries, I really enjoyed reading that. My mom has bad backhanded comments like that my entire life, usually in front of company. We would be sitting at the dinner table with friends and she would point out my sister's acne and starting lecturing to her about how she never washes her face and how disgusting it is to…

You hit the nail on the head. My mom has her own set of weight issues. When I was 12 I told her I was afraid she was going to die because of how heavy she was in a big emotional fight. Since then, it's been "You hate me because I am fat" and I can see why she might have thought that--I have been overweight my whole life…

I loved reading this. I have found myself doing the exact same thing lately. I am always worried that when I see changes, I see them and no one else will, and that they don't really exist. I sound way to stuck in my own head and stubborn! I really liked how you worded that you still see the fat "before" yourself. I can…

I do use the scale in the locker room at my gym pretty often. It usually reads about the same. It's just the anxiety I have that if I step on a scale it's going to tell me I am still who I used to be.

You've said some of the same things others on this thread have said, but I really appreciate the way you put it. For some reason, the way you explained it makes more sense to me. I've heard a lot about eating the calories from workouts back and still losing, any idea why? As someone who's trying to lose a lot of weight, it…

1. BBQ Sauce 2. Any kind of flavored chips--sour cream and onion, etc. 3. Fruit does not belong near chocolate or cake. Ever. 4. Eye liner... 5. Anime. I have friends that love it and that's all they talk about. I can't stand it.

I'm 5'3 and 192. I haven't been in the 160s since middle school! I can't wait to get back down. I have been overweight my entire life. I have PCOS

The "normal" range for 5'3 is between 111 and 141 lbs. You're not overweight.

I haven't cut them out completely, I still enjoy some foods that are low carb. But I avoid the processed carbs. I am insulin resistant and I have PCOS

I think the Atkins or Paleo diet would be a good fit. You need to eat a lot of protein, that'll help with the sugar you do take in. I am currently on met. for PCOS and I haven't had that many stomach issues with it. After about a week the cravings for sugar stopped. I still keep some treats around, especially when I'm on…

No, I usually do not eat my calories back.

No I'm not, I go alone and I check my phone out when I am taking a quick break.

I understand that not all the weight loss was fat. I need to change my diet because I know I am not getting enough protein and it has been affecting me. My heart tends to race while I'm just sitting on and off the past couple days and it's pretty unsettling. I've never had that happen before. I'm not really sure why or…

You're right. I do turn my weights into cardio which might not be the best way to go about things.

It was 7 pounds in almost 11 days. I had plateaued for several weeks and this was my first loss since. My heart rate is high, I know. But it is consistently that high. I have been working out with that level heart rate for months. I am not sure what I should do about it. I have done my research and some people just have a…

I threw up. I never throw up at the gym so it was a surprise to me. I ate before and allowed myself enough time to digest before I went to the gym. My routine was as usual, I just ended up getting sick an hour through it. I took a few minutes to relax, changed my clothes, and ended up going to a dining court for dinner. I…
