I don't find that to be sexist at all. But maybe it's because I have a different definition of sexism. I feel like men and women are different in certain areas and that's just due to our very biology and the way we are. I don't see anything bad about it. I think it's only bad when it is talked about in a demeaning way.…

I don't think this is going to work out for you. Unless you are like 4 feet tall, I don't think it's healthy to only eat 900 calories per day. You might start having some health issues after a while.

I disagree completely. Machines are a great way for beginners to get into working out. The weight room is incredibly intimidating, especially for females who are new to the gym. If every girl that came to the gym was forced to use free weights only, I guarantee you that a lot of us would quit right away. The machines are a…

Luckily for me, my gym membership is free at my college. Otherwise, I would not be able to afford a gym at all.

If you quit, you will continue to be as fat as you are now. If you keep working out, you probably won't be after a while. Do you want to continue being the weight that you are now?

I got my username from an old gospel song that has the same name. It's about somebody trying to get their life together basically. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWIr63xORpE

I like Special K Pastry Crisps (100 calories) Special K Cracker Chips (100 Calories) Oreo Crisps (From the 100 calorie packs) Grapes (Less than 100 calories) Pineapples (Less than 100 Calories) Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn (Low Calorie alternative to chips)

Final Weigh In CW - 215 GW - 209 06/01/2014 - 215 Pounds 06/08/2014 - 213 Pounds 06/16/2014 - 212.9 Pounds 06/22/2014 - 209.9 Pounds 06/29/2014 - 209.0 Pounds Made my goal for the month. Now, time to relax for the next two days and then gear up for the month of July.

I think if you are drinking an entire bottle of wine every single day, you may be an alcoholic. Forget about calories, this is about alcoholism and you may need help.

If you lose 2 pounds per week (which I think is what is generally considered healthy), then you can lose 4 pounds in 2 weeks.

LMAO

I weigh myself daily, just out of curiosity, but I tend to really only take into account what I weigh on a week by week basis. I generally just keep my weight stored in my phone for every day and then at the end of the week, I delete everything except for the first and last day of each week. So I have my daily weight…

You sound exactly like me. I hate having people see me exercise as well. I lose all confidence when I see someone who is a million times more fit than I am doing what I am doing a million times better. The thing that works for me is going to the gym when I know very few people will be there. Then I go upstairs and use the…

Well according you most experts, you're only supposed to lose 2 pounds per week. So in 2 weeks you should lose 2 pounds. In 3 weeks you should lose 6 pounds total. So it seems like you are right on track.

Basically here is the deal with MFP. At the beginning they give you a certain amount of calories you can eat in a day (1200, for example, it varies between people). If you don't exercise, then you can just eat those 1200 calories and you are supposed to lose weight. If you exercise, then MFP will give you extra calories…

They may work short term, but they probably won't work long term. I feel like that's the way a lot of diet pills and stuff like that work. If you want short term results, they can help, but not in the long term.

You look a little slimmer on the sides, but I can't tell if you really are slimmer or if it just looks that way because you're wearing a different outfit.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Whenever I go to the gym, I like to read the Big Nate book series on the elliptical. It really helps to pass the time.

I feel like these conversations happen because we are always more critical of ourselves than we are of others. Sometimes I see people that weigh more than me and my first thought is not, they look horrible and need to lose weight. Sometimes I think they look fine. But if I were that size, I know I would feel like I needed…

I know I will be able to make my goal. I am so happy to be below 210 pounds. It feels good to be making progress. I definitely want to get below 200 by the…

You could tone up your stomach. I don't know if you necessarily need to lose weight to do that. Maybe 5 pounds. I don't know.

The reason people say don't starve yourself is because it doesn't work long term. Starving yourself works in the short term. It works very well. Being anorexic works in the short term. Fad diets work in the short term. They work very well. But when you stop dieting and you stop making yourself throw up after eating, you…

I'm trying desperately to get back under 200. I should be there in about 1 to 1.5 months. I can't wait.

I recently started listening to "The Reason" by Hoobastank when I work out. I just imagine that I am singing the lyrics to myself. I imagine it as sort of an apology to my body for being unhealthy all of these years and a promise that I will change. It keeps me motivated. "I'm not a perfect person. There's many things I…

You sound like a raging 'you know what' and I think you are being very demanding. That being said, if it really bothers you that much, then stop being a coward and actually talk to your friend about what's bothering you. Understand that this is a sensitive issue, so if it's worth losing your friendship over to have the…
