Running doesn't make you lose weight. I know a lot of fat runners out there. Eating less than you burn makes you lose weight.... I run 3-4 days a week, do spin one day a week, and weight train 4 days a week...

Whenever I started a new job, I needed a month of suspending my routine to acclimate to a new one. I either put my workout on hold, or did something minimal to sustain my fitness level. After 3 weeks to a month, I put my work schedule out on a daily planner, so let's say I worked 8-3, or 7-5, or whatever, I put it all out…

I am around 135 lbs and could never sustain myself or my lifestyle on 1200 calories. I eat at LEAST 1500, and still lose weight here and there..... I think upping it to at least 1400 would be a good idea!

Feel free to add me!!! I am so bad about logging my food because my focus isn't really weight loss, but when I remember I might be helpful!!! LOL

I have one tattoo.... Does that count??? LOL

I love them. I use sun warrior though.

Quorn is actually made from a fungus. They are soy free. I am not a fan but hubby loves them!

A bunch of snacks.... Protein bars, nuts, dried fruit, gogurt... You are better off snacking the entire time!

I love kale chips. I find the only way they are dry enough is if I wash the kale the night before before making them....

Holy hell. I am hoping someone is plotting to take MY booty candy. I really needed to try that term out in a sentence. I think I found my new phrase. Booty candy booty candy booty candy booty candy. #bootycandy

That is so sad. I am so sorry. As the mom of a little boy, there is nothing on this earth that would ever keep me from supporting him. I don't care who he loves. You sound like a really strong person. It's your mothers loss. I am estranged from my mom for entirely different reasons... We haven't spoken in almost 10 years…

I REALLLLYYYY doubt the yoga instructor was trying to set up some human centipede fantasy in her head. I am sure she was thinking about the pose and not dying to see what it would look like to get you 2 together. Sorry.

I am not gay, but I always think its funny when heteros say they think gay people are going to check them out or want them just because they are the same gender. Not for nothing.... But I don't think every single guy I meet is hot. I actually think more girls are hot and probably check them out more and I am NOT gay (...or…

I love them!

I wouldn't touch those with a ten foot pole. Don't even get me started on their bottled drinks that sit, unrefrigerated, right next to them in the store. Ick.

We as a culture put a lot of value into the sharing of food... Especially for special occasions. Instead of declining, I help myself. I put it on a plate, or a napkin, and tell them I am saving it for later, or after lunch, etc. I don't eat it, but they don't need to know that. Sure, I am wasting food, but better in the…

That is some flat tummy! Even with no kids, let alone 5!!!! Nice!!!! I love what you wrote too about being comfortable with yourself. So true!!!!

Wow! You workout a LOT! You do all of that on Sunday? There is no way you could have done that on 1200 calories!!!! You are the kind of person who can afford to up your calories. That is a lot of work that needs nutrition like that!

I don't think you need to lose any more weight (although I am sure you will disagree!) I think you look truly amazing!!!

Because someone didn't comment in 12 minutes????? Welcome back. The first tool for weight loss and success is..... Patience :laugh: :drinker:

I just posted about this on the sugar craving thread. I had this and gained thirty pounds! This was while working out like a fiend, as I was a fitness instructor at the time, some was extra frustrated. I became very ill with it. It took about a full year for me to feel healthy and normal again. This was ten years ago. A…

I was a vegan for 15 years but you may not be interested in what I have to offer.... Because when I started running I demoted myself to a lacto ovo vegetarian instead. I am training for my third half marathon, and really needed the protein from dairy. And I was vegan for my entire pregnancy and was healthy. But once I…

I had adrenal fatigue and could not get enough sugar in me. Turns out when you secrete cortisol when highly stressed, your body craves massive amounts of sugar to replenish (the body thinks the stress is due to a major life event or hunting, when really it is due to sitting on my *kitten* in traffic and hating my job...…

I always "cheat".... But it's not really cheating. If I am going to live this way for the rest of my life, I will be damned if chocolate isn't a part of the plan!!!!

WORDDDD!!!!:drinker:

I always dream about a race before I do it. Wich I could run as fast as I can in my dreams!!!

starvation mode is only when she has been starving for such a long time, has no body fat left, and the body is forced to do whatever she can to survive. Not many people ever get to that point. At least not people who have access to computers... Edited to add: I rarely eat them back - and that was the only way I was able to…

My big thing is I never have time - in a way, I am right - I work full time, have a 4 year old, my husband works opposite schedules as me. But.... I DO have time - as usually my husband doesn't work at 4 in the morning! Is it ideal? No. But it forces me to go to bed early - and sometimes not finish the dishes or laundry -…

Can I play devil's advocate here? Not everyone is jealous when weight loss occurs. Sometimes there is a line in the sand that gets crossed from looking healthy, and looking obsessed and too skinny. I am *NOT* saying that *YOU*, the OP, is at that point, but I think the overgeneralizations that people who say these things…

My entire family is obese, has heart problems, diabetes, and cancer. It is in my genes to be this way. I can throw up my hands and say "crap, I'm screwed.... So, pass the donuts please" OR - I can look at my soon to be 5 year old son, and imagine him saying "No, health problems don't run in my family - my mom and dad are…
