Chocolate cake and ice cream!!! Don'g get me wrong -- I love chips and candy but I can resist those a lot easier than cake and ice cream.

Me too!! I had itsy bitsy's when I was younger then once I got pregnant my boobs plumped up like immediately (from a 34B-barely- to a 36DD) and they stayed that way no matter how much weight I gained or lost. I am just now able to loss enough overall fat through out my body that I have noticed my boobs have shrunk too --…

Ya know what -- I don't really pay too much attention to my calorie allowance. I eat when I feel hungry and keep the portion sizes under control and as long as I am making it to my minimun calorie need most days then I am good with that. I have to admit that I am a junk food fan (cake, candy and ice cream being my major…

I know exactly where you are comming from. Unfortunely for me my abuse comes from my very own family......

I myself go with the lighter wieghts with more reps cause I want a slender toned look. I already have pretty thick thighs and upper arms…

I went over board this weekend too. Taco Bell, chili cheese bratwurst with chips and dip and munching on chocolate here and there all weekend!! I have been struggling on the weekends to motivate myself to workout and I am really feeling like I failed myself this weekend. Even though I feel pretty down in the dumps today I…

That is amazing!! Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

Net calories are the "actual" amount of calories that your body retains for that day. So say in one day you eat 1500 calories and you burn 500 calories doing cardio. To figure out your "Net Calories" for the day you would take the 1500 calories you consumed and subtract the 500 calories that you burned. In this case your…
