Ahhh..see that's the part I didn't quite understand. I couldn't get it through my head how lifting weights wouldn't make me stronger (I would think it would). And yes....I was confused. I don't want to gain more muscle....I just want to be stronger. I'm fat and weak, and I would like to at least be fat and strong until the…

So I'll be lifting to maintain the muscle, while losing the fat by eating at a deficit? That'll help me keep the muscle I do have (which isn't much) while I lose the fat, yes?

I very rarely drink, but when I do, my favorite adult beverage is the snuggler (without the whipped cream on top, yuck). I drink this a few times a month in December and January (when it is coldest here). The rest of the year I just don't drink...makes me feel weird.

Wow...just wow. What an amazing journey you're on and continue to be on. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation. You are liquified awesomeness AKA awesome sauce.

Congratulations on your new waist measurement; well done! :smile:

Merriam-Webster defines "gross" as: "big, bulky, excessively fat" (definition 2a). Congratulations, you've learned elementary vocabulary; here's your sparkly little star and your glitter pencil! I'm done saying things nicely to people who *clearly* deserve the alternative. I'm off to do some squats. You know...to try to…

"Africa" - Toto

ditalini, and your salad looks very tasty.

______________________________________- Awesome post, OP I can honestly say I do not have any opinion/judgment/impression of people based on their weight. This could be because I'm morbidly obese. I DO get jealous when I see "fit" women, but I don't judge them. My train of thought is, "It's gonna take forever for me to get…

Okay now I'm just confused and kind of PO'd. I've never had rolls under my boobs before...and now I'm 53 lbs *less* and I have this small "roll thing" under my breasts. What the heck is that and why did it appear *after* I've begun to lose weight...but wasn't there 53 pounds ago?? This makes no sense at all...do bodies…

That is SO awesome! Thank you for the song origin and meaning...I had no idea, now I like it even more! \o/

It is my opinion that squats are *awesome* for fat loss...because they hurt like hell, they talk back to you, they burn like mad, and they're evil. Why does that equal great fat loss? Because it makes me want to stay as far away from the fridge as humanly possible so there's not as much weight to squat the following week.…

Beautiful transformation, just beautiful! Enjoy that reward, you earned it!! :flowerforyou:

For me, it depends on what the confrontation is about. With petty arguments and minuscule differences of opinion I'll suggest the "agree to disagree" approach to diffuse the situation. However, if someone continues to stir their ladle in a pot that I've already made clear is near boiling point, they're probably going to…

Hi there. I have the same amount left to lose as you do. Thus far I have lost 53 lbs. For most people that would be a massive accomplishment, but for me...it feels more like a pebble falling off Mt. Rushmore (just being honest). My first plateau arrived this week. I'd been dropping by 5 lbs a week for quite some time, then…

Congratulations on your accomplishment! You should be very proud. :smile:

Well, it wasn't me falling for it, but when I was in middle school, a gal came to school and stood on her left foot in the cafeteria while she ate. When you're that age and someone is standing on one foot for no apparent reason, and eating at the same time while trying to balance...you're gonna ask why (at least I did).…

Congratulations on your accomplishment, you've worked hard and it definitely shows! Thank you for sharing with us, wonderful inspiration! You look amazing!

Because you gave me the song title...it made me remember where I'd heard it. Well..not exactly, but sort of. I remembered Julia Roberts was in the movie so I googled her name and went searching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWFoI7vgr14 is the version I simply have to have on my playlist. Thank you both so very…

Wowzers...that was fast...YES that's the song!! That's not the version I'm referring to but I will take anything at this point, and that's the right song!! You rock...thank you so much!

You said it in your original post and you just said it again...tomorrow is indeed another day. You're off to a perfect mindset already. I'm *still* learning that my today will only negatively affect my tomorrow if I allow it to. Good on you. :')

Editing my entire post because I can't relate to this, and I can't delete my post. Food isn't my go-to for bad days. If I'm having a really bad day, I crawl under the covers and cry my face off for awhile (similar to a screaming toddler)...that's probably not any healthier, but yeh, that's my go-to for bad days. When it…

If you don't already have a crock pot AKA: slow cooker, I highly recommend you get one. Honestly it's not really cooking (at least to me it isn't). You throw everything in there and leave it alone all day, and then eat when it's ready. I haven't done anything in the crock lately, but that's because it's been hot (hot food…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: oh my bladder.... With regard to boobs, mine have always been on the small side. My cup size has stayed the same from 150 to 344 and everything in between...it's just the band that changes for me.

To women with a normal reproductive system it probably seems like a really strange thing to call an NSV, but for me it's a pretty big deal...I'm ovulating now that I've lost weight. I'm nowhere NEAR where I should be, but I will get there....and this was a huge motivation. 53 lb and counting (wish I had joined MFP before I…

You say you get frustrated because you already know that you won't have enough calories left for dinner. My suggestion would be that if you know you won't have enough consumable calories left...alter what you're doing to change that. I don't know how else to say it, and I'm not very good with words. :smile: What I'm trying…

Your stance in the "after" speaks louder than anything. You look amazing, be proud!:smile:

"Well done," and "congratulations," and "you look phenomenal" ...excusing myself to turn the air conditioner to full blast.

You look fantastic...the results speak volumes. Well done on accomplishing something amazing!

But that's just it...no creator (be it nature or God whatever you choose to call it) gave anyone a pre-defined built body. The ability to "make it happen" was given to them, not the end result. Some have chosen to really push themselves to get to where they are, and when I see those I just think, "hot damn!". "Well done,…
