  • This is the calculator I use, too. It puts me at 1433 cals when doing a 15% cut. I don't know how accurate the activity level thing is, though.
  • You can definitely get stretch marks from losing weight. Your skin has been stretched and now it isn't. Stretch marks can form from that. I would recommend strength exercises (like squats, lunges, etc) to plump your skin a bit with muscle. Other than cocoa butter, there isn't much else you can do.
  • Until you get around to a gym or club, I recommend that you check out www.reddit.com/r/xxfitness It's a reddit thread for women who want to get strong. They are very motivational and informative. Check it out!
  • Je suis pas loin de Arcis-sur-Aube, donc vers le sud de Champagne-Ardennes. Je travaille à Vitry et donc pas loin de Chalons. (Desolée pour des eventuelles fautes de français; ce n'est pas ma langue maternelle).
  • Salut, tout le monde! My name's Emily and I'm from Florida. I moved to Verdun in 2011 to be with my then-boyfriend, now-husband. I got a job in Champagne-Ardennes and now teach English at a little private school. I'm not overweight but I was headed in that direction. I'm losing weight and getting healthy, particularly…

  • I'm about to go walking for the second day in a row. I have an hour and fifteen minutes for lunch every day (French schools -- woot!) and since it only takes me around 20-30 minutes to eat my lunch, I am trying to spend the rest of the time walking. It prevents me from eating more and gives me exercise. Bonus -- I get to…
  • I don't have a picture yet, but I bought some turkey sauté yesterday (just turkey breast cut into chunks, I guess) and plan to have a low-carb dinner of that and some veggies. I'll post a pic tonight!
  • If you don't know where you've been, you won't know where you're going. Hop on the scale, record the number, then never look back. Keep up the good work!
  • It's France and they're a bit more health conscious, I guess. They rotate out the fruits you can get. At the moment, it's pears, but sometimes it's pineapple. The little bag the pineapple comes in is adorable. I ended up going to the grocery store and getting a pre-made salad that had grilled chicken and lots of…
  • My Mom has always said that people gain weight and stay fat because they have underlying emotional issues that they haven't dealt with; whether it's a bad parent-child relationship, poor self-esteem, need for validation, etc. It's very real. In my case, my sadness (it's not depression. I'm just sad about some life events…
