You look amazing! Great dedication I'm similar height & weight, but I'm starting over.

It does that to prevent people from creating health complications due to malnourishment. The body requires a minimum calorie intake to remain healthy. Pushing it to extremes will not yield good weight loss results in the long-term.

I can't imagine not using a food scale. It an essential part of my arsenal. I like math and precision. @quiksylver296 Love the squat pic. ^^ Nice intensity & good form.

I work 3rd shift. Check out my food diary if you want. Thursday March 26th was a typical work day for me. It should be set to public. I'm a little loose on the weekends. They tend to vary more.

I'm back. LF some active friends to bolster my dwindling flist. Feel free to add, ^^

I'm back again, and could use friends. I'm an active logger. Feel free to friend. Check my profile for more info. I prefer friends who have an open diary. My profile pic is from my last time here.

Lots of good recommendations here, but I see no one mentioned the obvious paper bag over the head trick. ..I'm kidding of course. :wink:

Click on the username, and a box pops up. Click on the username again, and then click add as friend. ~.^

I'm back starting tomorrow. Last time I was a regular logger, and managed to drop roughly 70 pounds. Probably shooting to drop 60 or so this time. Looking for some friends who log daily. Some of my interests include gaming, anime, SL 5x5's, and jogging/hiking. Feel free to friend me. ^^

Good... Bad... who cares. If you consistently run a calorie surplus you will become fat.

Feel free to check my diary out; it's public. My fiber is usually quite high. I would say that 25 grams is enough though. The only other advice I would offer is to drink water, as it binds with the fiber to help it do it's job, but you said you're already doing that.

Very inspiring! You look so much happier. Did you workout leading to up to the 170 lbs mark? The difference between your mid point, and goal is quite impressive. I'm personally getting to the point that I can now see "trace evidence" of my upper abs, but sometimes I still feel like I have a long way to go. I definitely…

All deficits are not created equally with regards to weight loss results. And not going below 1200 is more about not becoming malnourished than anything else.

It's like moving forward... in reverse. Slow, pointless, and frustrating.

If you're eating an appropriate calorie amount for your activity level, it isn't overly difficult to hit one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass, even on a 25% deficit; which you should not be on if you're already lean.

Who cares. Be confident in who you are. Besides, I'm willing to bet some of them admire you for doing your own thing; even though they're too weak to show it.

I eat meat (chicken) just once a day too. (Always fresh breats.) I use a George Foreman grill. Raw = 9min ; Frozen = 11min. Nothing fancy, and always cooked thoroughly. Personally though, I always cut through the center to make sure it's cooked, and not raw at all. That's all you need to do regardless of your cooking…

I think everyone pretty much laid it out correctly, whether you agreed or not. When the time is right, she'll get there on her own. Anything else will only result in temporary success.

Congratulations! You look amazing. :)

I'm not vegan, but I make a veg wrap for lunch at work (300'ish cals). My diary is open.

I make my own Hummus that's a variation on this recipe: Engine-2-hummus. Very low calorie, and I use it in the veggie wraps that I make for lunch.

If you're lifting heavier week to week then you will see results, whether on the scale or in definition.

Keep in mind that generally speaking, you can't out work a bad diet.

I use SL 5x5's. It has an app that makes it easy to follow.

So you want a nice stomach post. There's lots of good stickies at the top of each forum section.

I only track my chest, waist, and hips with a $2 sewing measuring tape. I measure once a week, whether I lose weight or not.
