I have a dead lift question..... I thought you just went past your knees with the bar and then stood straight back up with your knees only slightly bent. (that's how they do it in my workout video) Is that wrong?

It sounds like my boyfriend (with the pizza). My BF gained 40 lbs since we started dating 4 years ago. I am still very attracted to him. I am, however, concerned about his health since we aren't spring chickens anymore. I have asked him to start exercising again and eating less because he is going to die of a heart attack…

That made me laugh :D

My usual juice: 2 stalks of celery 1 carrot 1/2 cucumber 1 small apple 1 small piece ginger (ginger makes it so delish!) Sometimes I add a handful of kale or spinach. Sometimes blueberries. You should try one sweet potato and one pear, then blend it with coconut or almond milk (I use vanilla coconut) and add a little…

Honestly? You look really good. Start with 10lbs and see how you look/feel. I'm only 5'3 and when I weighed 150, I got so many compliments, people thought I was in my 130's. I did lift weights 3x a week so I think the toning made me look much smaller.

Thanks Orlam. I am going to have to look into those sugar free snack packs!

A whole new person. Weird.

First off, 1200 is wayyyy to low, especially for an active man. Second, YES! I used to hate it when it yelled at me so now I have my calorie limit set way high so I can never go over, yay!! I still stay within my range though. :smile: It does, however, yell at me when I am too low. :o

I am better than you because my father taught me that no one is better than me. But congrats on your exercise journey! And what kind of B&J?????

Effing awesome!!!!!

I loved her "pinched and squinty" look. I wouldn't have recognized the new Renee.

No more sex for him and definitely no more bj's >:)

I am so sorry that you're going through that.... that is a total demotivator! He needs to realize that his "tough love" really sucks and is NOT working. I love what @refuseresist said! My boyfriend loves my body, I don't know why and I don't care. He calls me sexy and beautiful which makes me want to become even sexier and…

I couldn't do a 4:3, that would put me over the edge :blush:

Thank you!!!! I will definitely read up about it :smile:

Welcome and good luck. There are some great groups on here! Never give up :smile:

Tiamo is I love you in Italian and 719 is my nephews birthday, he passed away last year at age 18.

So basically, you're afraid of eating because you'll binge, then purge. I hope you get your recovery sponsor very soon. Do you binge every time you eat or does it depend on the food you eat?

Really??? I feel so much better. Thank you!!

Buffalo, NY!!!

I have bad knees so I walk. I put my treadmill on incline to give me a better workout. It has not affected my knees.

You look effing awesome!!! And yes, you're paranoid.

Just keep being the great role model that you are. That's all you can do.

It shouldn't be this hard, right? If you stop and think about it, it's only food. Why the obsession? Yet, we still obsess. Sometimes if I put a small altoid in my mouth, I forget about food. It's mind over matter. You need to learn who has control, you or your subconscious?

See, now I have to track.... today I entered all my foods prior to even eating them (the perfectionist in me :wink: ) I'm sure one or two might change but I have a good idea of how many calories I will be eating today. Yes, it's time consuming but I have made it a priority. As for the cravings, you're talking to someone…

haha... sorry, I only hate people with high TDEE's. :wink:

Thank you everyone. I went over last night (670), I didn't really need to but I just gave in. I bought more low calorie foods and I am going to start using stevia in my coffee and tea. Two cups of coffee equals 50 calories for me. I could eat instead!! I bought spinach and shrimp too.

I don't like you anymore! :p

How many calories are you allowing yourself on non fasting days? What exactly are you craving? You can most likely give in to your cravings, in moderation, I know I have.

It's funny, on my 500 days, I usually don't crave. It's ingrained in my mind that I can only have 500 calories so cravings are out of the question. My problem on my 500 days is being hungry!!!!
