Thank you for sharing .... Yeah the more people I talk to, the more I think the protein is too much. I think I need to increase my fat intake. I'm OK with the carbs, which is surprising ... plus I notice when I eat more fat, I feel less "hangry" ..; THanks for the advice!

My veggies are typically broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower, kale, spinach. I count sweet potatos as a carb, and I don't eat regular potatos

Here is my macro breakdown: -carbs 60 g's. (240 cals) -protein 140 g's (560 cals) -fat 50 g's (450 cals) The fat comes from egg yolks, macadamia nut oils, and all natural peanut butter. I am weighing/portioning out the carbs/protein ... veggies are a free--for-all ....maybe more fat would be key? I am checking in with him…

I agree with everything you're all saying .... I think its probably a combo of going overboard on cheat days plus needing to give it more time I figured I'd ask if there was anyone else going through this!! Thanks a bunch!

I am 5'4

oooh ooooh!! pick me pick me !! ;) I;m lisa I'm 27 yr olds ... I'm FINALLY getting the consistency piece down with exercise and dieting .... I just need to continue to fine tune my diet . and I'm going to be unstoppable !!! Come join me !!

Hi! I'm Lisa from Boston .... Add meeee !! =)

Super single! lol

Thank you everyone! I know that I always follow my gut on things and I consider myself a pretty good judge of character. I feel like my issue is someone of my age should have more experience in this area where I do not ... so I feel like I am starting behind the 8-ball so to speak. I know once I get over my initial fear of…

Thanks for all the responses! I did have a plenty of fish and okcupid account when i was 21 but I didnt take it seriously, and I know the guys on there weren't serious at all. I can totally tell when I am being bull****ted or a guy is a creep -- I've had a few experiences with those types of messages where basically the…

ehhh thats horrible .. sorry to hear that .....Do you mind me asking what site you used?

I went out a few times with a guy a couple of months ago, but other than that, I've never dated. I'm good at keeping people at a distance unfortunately, so it is definitely time to get in the saddle, even if it doesn't turn into a relationship.

You are an absolute inspiration! That's how I want to be!! Someone who lives a life so full, so packed, and so loving that I no longer have room for the weight, the doubt or the self pity . Thank you for opening my eyes to that!

I like to cook the fish regularly -- either in a pan ontop of the stove with a little oil or baked with lemon juice and S&P ... and then crumble it into pasta ... hit it with a little parm, lemon juice, and olive oil .... Kids love anything with pasta Also, I make a fish stew .... Make the base of it like any other…

Italian households can be super overwhelming. I know because I am in one. In the traditional Italian house, it is not as simple as "you're an adult so you can make your own choices"... It just does NOT work that way. So to just tell her to just leave when she doesnt have money or any support system is foolish. To the OP: I…

A Woman: Without her, man is nothing

Thank you! That is encouraging ... as that is around the same weight I am starting out at! I've been thinking of working with a personal trainer to push me to my max and to help get results quicker

Just to clarify, when I say I look "bulky", I know it is because the muscle is getting bigger underneath the fat ... but all you can see is the fat!

To all the women who lift, Did you start lifting after you had lost weight, or did you lift TO lose weight?? I really do like lifting heavy for all of the reasons above, but mostly because I love seeing my progress in how much weight I'm able to move ... but I am also obese -- clinically, medically, all of it. I also…

I found a protein pancake recipe online that used only rolled oats, protein powder, eggs, cinnamon & vanilla .... It basically tasted like a chocolate eggs lol ... Unfortunately, the best recipes have some flour in it or else it just wont taste like you'd want it to Maybe make it with less flour, or whole wheat flour? or…

uhh nothing better than a man in a suit! Stay!

Hellooo =) .. I'm 5'4" ... current weight: 230 -- yuckkkk ..... My current goal is ~150 and then re-assess. Maybe drop a few more pounds or add some muscle. I'd just go with the flow and stop when you feel comfortable. As long as you think you look good and you're health/lab numbers are normal, you'll be fine =)

Isn't that a one-way highway???

I would ! The sooner you can start to develop that muscle, the better. When you do squats/lunges, it works your legs as well, which will help with your running or whatever cardio you do. Plus, the glutes/legs are pretty big muscle groups, so to have them defined and start building them will help increase metabolism, which…

I'm not sure this would constitute a squat, per say, but a friend of mine who is a trainer taught me to basically do a sumo squat on a leg press. Instead of just putting your feet up on the plate, you move them down towards the bottom and have your feet point outward and do the movement of lowering yourself down towards…

oh boyy I had a flood of images going through my head trying to think of things ... here we go! - Bald guys w/ goatees - Big, callused hands -- something about the roughness of it just gets me lol - salt & pepper hair - That wrinkle around a mans eyes when he really smiles or laughs - Intellectual banter of someone who can…

First off, I think this situation would be best handled with the help of a therapist for all parties involved. It seems like you all have been through some pretty traumatic events in your life and maybe benefit from an outside person who is trained to help people in this situation. However, I understand that you are…

Being Catholic and attending Catholic schools until college, I can attest to the pressure to "give up" something during Lent. In school, most people would say that they were going to give up soda, chocolate, chips, etc; I followed suit -- giving up carbs, TV, etc. Until one year, I heard the Priest say that Lent isn't…

YESSSS!!!! That's such a great way to look at it lol ... It makes me think of another quote that I heat alot "Growing old is a luxury denied to many"

LOVE posts like this! It really makes you stop and examine things! I'm grateful for the fact that I woke up this morning, my body was sore from the gym, I have amazing opportunities on the horizon and I have an abundance of people in my life whom I can share these moments with. All of these things can be taken away at any…
