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.

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!

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…
