I've heard that vitamin e works wonders. Been looking for it around me to no avail (pure vit e, that is, everything here is mixed with other stuff), so will probably start some sort of olive oil scrub to see if that makes any difference (have also heard that olive oil works well, though haven't tried either myself).

Have you tried either? When speaking of different options... how do you know unless you've had them? At any rate, makes no difference. Time for me to hit the beach in my 2 piece. Take THAT snarky author of trashy Brit tabloid.

That's pretty cool

You can see your progress here as well :) Click on the Reports tab above... you can set the things you want to track on the website and then it's very easy access on the app.

I can understand not having access to good gym equipment. Just keep working out... I've heard of that book, though don't know if that's the correct title or not either. But either way, body weight exercises are awesome. Check out no equipment HIIT and Tabata workouts. Doing high intensity intervals can help melt fat in…

Good conversation, sense of humor. That's how my hubby got me :)

Noom really helped you lose so much? I checked it out because I was told that they had a better variety of regional foods for where I am right now (Middle East), though didn't like it. Maybe it's because I've been using MFP for so long and am used to how things are here? But that being said I never went on the forums, I…

I still wear things that are just a bit too big, belts are a wonderful thing. Waist belts cinch in tops that are just slightly too big and regular belts for pants. You could also get them taken in without having the extra fabric cut off if you're worried that you may creep back up there again. Though at the same time,…

This has been posted before but always fun to see.... Since I started MFP I've almost lost a human leg.... and considering what I lost before MFP I've lost an elephant's penis, LOL

I tend to reward myself with shopping trips. There aren't any specific things I want, but I put myself on a shopping freeze for while my sizes were changing (unless necessary, ie. had to get some appropriately sized clothes for some job interviews). So whenever I reach a goal I go buy something :) Last thing I got was a…

If I run in the evening then I eat something that I know will digest quickly about an hour before. Usually some kinda shake or maybe coffee (ok, I drink something). Sometimes a banana or boiled egg. I usually run in the morning on an empty stomach. I can't stand having to wait the 45 min for food to digest and if I wait…

I've never had an issue eating straight up peanut butter, but I do prefer mine creamy so this may be a great way to make something awesome even better for me :D Thanks for sharing, great idea!!

Apparently ketchup chips are not a thing in the states??? And if you want to have ketchup chips you literally need to put ketchup on your chips... what's that about?? And I've also recently learned that not everyone knows about all dressed... I don't know if they're available and just not celebrated the way they should be…

I did kinda the same thing as you... I was working right next to a Subway and lived very close as well so had Subway almost everyday for lunch and then sometimes for dinner. The thing that works about it is that it's very easy to eat healthy (low fat with a good amt of vit c). Wasn't only eating subway though, that gets…

yum! Thanks for sharing!!

All the more reason to start fixing it ASAP. Up your calories, to AT LEAST 1200 and eat all of them. If you exercise, log it and eat those calories back as well. Your weight may go up initially but it will start going back down again. Give it 2 months before you start judging how you're doing. The road you're on right now…

This sounds really interesting. Though OP, I agree with the people telling you to up your calories. I'm sure you could have more and lose weight. The sexy pants forum post is a great place to start.

Such a disgusting article. People should hate themselves because they're fat? Their lives should go on hold and they should become self loathing and not enjoy the same comforts/"privileges" as thin people? "No, no sunshine for you! You can't tan, you're fat!" And for her to claim that models and celebrity image is not an…

bump for the info

lol... well, doesn't opium come from poppy's? Unfortunately, it's any time of day for me... I can't have that many carbs in one sitting :( Well, dinner is fine but only because... I sleep after that anyway, lol

1 bagel makes me lethargic :( Can only have half at a time... unless I want to take a nap.

Sorry I'm no help but you've had some awesome ideas given here! Bumping to try some out sometime

I used to have a major problem with this and these are a few tips which helped me: - eating more protein at dinner. This helped me stay full longer. - getting rid of the snack foods I preferred to binge on at night, or at the very least preportioning them so that I would just grab 1 baggy/amt instead of being left to my…

I dunno if my inputs going to help because it's basically the modern upgrade of dvds.... fitness apps. I think you can definitely have an effective work out at home if you know what to do. So until that time, I'll stick with dvds and apps, though I am beginning to be able to remember the patterns and for some am able to do…

Any movement is better than none. And if your colleague wants to focus on weights then I see no need to get heated up about it. It's his choice.

I agree... bump to read more fully later

I'm not really sure what info you're trying to get at here... In general, I've started to not feel "good" about my workout unless I get at least a 500 cal burn in... but I'm also starting circuit and weight training, which burn less so am trying to stop caring about the calorie amount as a goal and returning to keeping my…

Log it but don't worry about it. You should log it simply because you ate it, but don't stress, because yes, you most definitely burned it off. You can choose whether you put it in yesterday or add to today, though I would put it with yesterday (since it essentially was your dinner). Also, if that's what a general work day…

She clearly has her own insecurities which she's projecting on to you. Doesn't matter if you're at that size or not, you obviously have a good grip on what is healthy or not in terms of body image... it's good that you corrected her and did not allow her to continue trying to body shame you.

This, though moreso for work wear while at the temporary sizes... Just got a few shirts and a pair of pants. For gym clothes, I basically live in super baggy shirts and made sure to buy pants/shorts with drawstrings so I can keep tightening them. If it's too late for that (this was something I found out the hard way, lol)…
