To see abs you need to be around 10-12% body fat. You look about 16-18% Keep going!

Identify your goals. Make a plan to accomplish those goals. Stay consistent to the plan. As Goals are met come up with new goals and a new plans to accomplish those. Don't beat yourself up if you get off track. Just start the next day a new. Take you daily dose of motivation because like bathing its suggested daily. Last…

I don't think I've ever "completed" a day. I mean what if I wanted to get up and have a snack later that night and I've already completed the day? Anyways if you know what your maintenance calories need to be. Eat those, forget what app says and move forward.

Get some!!! On a side note to self (umm you just got out-lifted brah time to get on it.)

You can't spot train fat. Eat more build more muscle up top. Cut fat after to reduce on legs. Bulk/Cut/Bulk/Cut....life of a recomper.

40% in ~244 days (rough calculation) Absolutely amazing. An average of a little over 3lbs a week. Those are epic numbers and is on par with TV show contestants. The fact you did it without a network celebrity trainer shows the world it really is as simple as making a plan that has been proven to work and staying consistent…

I got on the MFP Community Motivation boards and posted. Hopefully my limited insights helped some, making my journey all the more merrier.

Way to go on your journey. I will give you perspective from mine. I started this year at about 208#'s I initially picked an arbitrary number from arbitrary scales according to BMI and other said healthy weights for a 5'11" male as well as from what I can remember from being an athlete of where and what I wanted to be again…

Its like being a lifeboat for the Titanic right? You want to save everyone and because of it you've started to sink yourself. Here is the thing, you cannot save everyone on the Titanic in a life boat. You require a boat as big if not bigger. So your priority now must shift from if I'm to be able to help people I must have…

Yes, Compound Heavy Lifts work best. But not everyone is comfortable nor confident enough to go there. However for best results this is where you want/need to be. You're already ahead of the game because you go. Now just keep the plan and tweak as needed.
-
Don't know where you're at, where you started, or how far you have to go. But one thing I can say for sure is keep consistent tortoise for the hare will not win this race! However in the limited knowledge I do have, I know that the closer you get to your goal weight the slower the weight is to come off. Congrats on 25 and…

If you're persistent you will get there. If you are consistent in your persistence you will get there and stay there.

2 kids. What do you want for them? Did you as a kid do what you parents told you? Or did you do the things the same way they did them? Do you just listen to peoples words? Or do you watch what they actually do? If you're like most people you listen but mostly watch what someone does. Kids are like that but they watch 10…

In the beginning a gym buddy was a need for me. I'm the type of person who will always do more for someone else that I'd ever do for myself. So for me getting someone to go with me or who asked me to go daily was something I needed. Now if/when he isn't able to go because of what ever reason (he has missed all 3 days this…
-
I'm on my phone and not the web so maybe that has something to do with it. I didn't mean anything by the quotes. Also the closer you get to your maintenance weight the slower the process will be and Liz is right by having you back down your deficit.

Can't see your diary so not totally sure what "calories" you are eating. However if you tend to eat empty calories I.e. Chips you may be under your calories but not getting full. Try some more dense foods that have lower calories but keep you full. Also don't forget to hydrate yourself, sometimes when I'm "hungry" I find…

Well intentions but I feel as if the underlying issue is resolved the financial one will correct itself on its own.
-
Yes, but the root of the financial issue is a relationship one. So the derailment was actually the intended track of this train.
-
Damn that’s Deep! Now we are going into societal issues, this thread has turned out impeccable. Because you know, if you can’t win don’t play. Or if you lose you should beat them up or sue them. Or everyone should get a trophy. Or if it’s not going your way quit. If it’s too hard don’t do it. It’s not your fault it’s never…
-
Sure it is. But so is not having them. The issue lies, she is being selfish but so is her husband. The problem is the two of them together on this issue are incongruent. She wants’ them i.e. her actions, he doesn’t i.e. his actions. They can get on the same page and move forward, or not. It is as simple as that. Everything…

QFT

And then its starts to get others mad becasue people clearly can see what she can't and they can't but we know that she know we know that some know who don't know that she knows she knows he knows.
-
It’s the actions of the situation. Not once has she responded with “I talked to him, This is what he said”. There is no action from him in saving for the IVF, and there is no action from her in actually talking to him about the saving. The "extreme" approach was to try and get her to do something she already knows. Get her…
-
She doesn’t have to state it. Although I'm pretty sure she finally understands now what I was trying to get her to see. But the first 14 pages where the advice was given to "speak to your husband" was truly the only advice that was given that needed to be taken. I didn't even come up with it first. I like on many threads,…
-
Hell its possible he dosen't even want kids. ref. Actions of husband complained about by wife.
-
Exactly, hence the talk to your husband continues to come up. There isn't much else she can do. The thing that got me fired up is the advice is there yet the thread continues on because she is ignoring it. I guess I'm out? You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
-
Life is that cut and dry. Communicate, make a decision and follow through. I'm not bitter at all. I called her childish because after 14 pages and the repeated advice of talk to your husband because there seems to be a difference in pages of what they both actually want out of life, has been ignored. I'm all for the…

It was more about the mindset. The body will do its best to process whatever you put into it to keep it going. Junk food is like water in gas, not good but the car will still go. However if you just put in good food its not going to instantaneously fix the problem. Time by putting in the good fuel will eventually fix it.…
-
Yes, if the plan was stuck too. The problem is it's not being followed. So already they've set up an environment in which rules do not really apply. Is that really what we want? Another person who thinks rules are good except for them?
-
The supportive comments you are looking for are there. You're too wrapped up in the its my way or the highway mentality to see them. Step back look at your situation as a whole. You're being childish by throwing tantrums, he's being it by being selfish. Is this how you want your kid(s) to be? Fix you first.
