Just think about it this way: Get 3 (10 pound) bags of potatoes and walk around with them. The three bags represent the weight that you no longer carry with you. And like the poster above said, a lot of us do have some resemblance or trace of body dysmorphia (even without an official diagnosis) so what you are feeling is…

Just saw this, lol http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1822559-cannot-search-myfitnesspal-database-1-12-15

Mine is not cooperating either. I thought it was just my account. Following this thread...

This!!!!!! Excellent response Tamelakaye79

Have you ever tried the Siggi's brand Greek yogurt? Ingredients: Pastuerized skim milk, organic agave nectar, passion fruit/pomegranate (the flavor that I chose), live cultures. This flavor is 5.3 oz (typical size) and 100 calories, O fat, 11 grams carbs, 14 grams protein and their cows are rBGH free! Yummy

I love Sargento's reduced fat cheddar cheese sticks with sugar snap peas (about 100 calories combined for one serving each) or jack links tender beef "chunks" (70 kcal per 1 oz which averages 4-5 pieces)

Technically, you are correct. According to the dictionary: sug·ar /ˈSHo͝ogər/ noun noun: sugar 1. a sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plants, especially sugar cane and sugar beet, consisting essentially of sucrose, and used as a sweetener in food and drink. (lol) But it's all a moot point. Juicing and…

My go to smoothie: 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (30 calorie kind) 1/3 cup frozen strawberries 2/3 cup frozen mixed berries (from Sam's club) 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/2 tsp flaxseed 1/2 tsp chia seeds 1/2 small to medium banana

Motivation comes from determining what really matters to you. Each of us will have a different motiving factor based on our own personal goals and aspirations. So I would suggest when you have some "free time" that you sit down and make a list of the things that really matter to you; the things that you value most in life…

^^This! LMAO!!:laugh: :laugh:

You took the words right out of my mouth!!! there is a big difference between the two. She also needs to see a Registered Dieitian (not nutritionist) who specializes in eating disorder treatment. Good luck, hun:smile:

Sw - 256 Cw - 201 Gw - 180 (just now anyway) Height - 5ft 5 Sedentary If you are going to be doing your routine 3 x/week you need to change your activity level. I would also suggest increasing # reps to 12-15 and ensuring that you do at least 30 min cardio ( I think yours added up to 30 min exactly). Just curious was your…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Hilarious!!!! But I agree with everyone else in that it's just water weight

In looking at your mucle pic I would venture to say that you might be gaining muscle. Take a look at Anowa Adja (the Nigerian powerhouse) she is SOLID muscle and not afraid to say that she weighs over 200#. I would never have believed until i saw her step on the scales. You should be able to google her; she has fitness…

In your case it may be a bit of trained and natural behavior. I say this because at 1700 calories you are consuming ~25% of your calories from carbs (a very low amount). The typical "healthy" recommendation is no lower than 30% carbs, or 128 gm carbs in your case of 1700 calories. Your body is probably craving carbs…

:drinker: THIS!

you look awesome!!!! Congrats in advance :drinker:

Homemade smoothie: 1 cup frozen mixed berries 3 medium frozen strawberries 1tsp chia seeds 1tsp flax seed (ground) 1/2 banana 1/3 cup chobani nonfat vanilla (greek) 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk coffee with splenda and 1 1/2 tbsp half and half gives me about 15 gms fiber!

I don't think it came off as mean, I just took it as you venting and expressing your opinion about this particular challenge. This should indeed be a voice your opinion or to vent, rant or rave as long as what you say is not offensive. I've attempted it before and I didn't get offended. I won't do it again though because…
