Wow, man. This was from last year. Even I'd forgotten about it. But, if anyone does have any testimonials, would be nice to know. At any rate, I've started using Gold Standard Whey protein, but I think I'm getting headaches from it. Not sure yet though.

Maybe it's because I've never been a "thin girl" that I haven't really gotten upset with the lyrics like OP... but I also tend to not take today's music too seriously... Do have to admit that I just dl'd this song earlier today so I can run to it. What can I say, stupid lyrics aside, it's a fun song. I've also gotten…

:) Yes it will :) Have fun on your travels!! That's awesome to be able to go for an entire year :)

Yeppers. Do lots of squats and try running up/down hills. Hills are what shape your booty (when running).
-
I don't worry about going up to maintenance level during TOM... I also give in (though aim to have moderation) because I'm seriously tired of thinking about food all the time when it rolls around. Something I am trying to do is continue exercising (cardio) during it. I know that I can't run as fast or far when I have it,…

Wow, hadn't realized it was by that much!

How is 50g less of cooked chicken more cals/protein than raw? Is it because the chicken shrinks as it's cooked? But by that much? Not trying to be snippy, genuinely curious here
-
I would follow JoRocka's advice because she knows about this kind of stuff... only thing I would add is abt 7. If you're not eating any veggies/fruits then I would recommend having vitamin supplements to get your daily A and C in... try to get calcium in as well- whole milk and dairy products are awesome though so unless…

I love bodycon dresses :) And for all the ladies saying they're not at weight... go try one on at the mall! Take a pic and take a look at it after... You would be surprised at how flattering they are!!
-
Awesome thread. I have no contributions :frown: but bump to check these songs out later!

I think that what fat shaming does is... basically exactly what the name implies. It shames people, which (for many) starts a very nasty cycle of self loathing. They hate themselves for being fat, might not know what to do about it or where to start and then end up indulging in the behaviours which cause it. Then they hate…

I don't care about people logging these foods you deem unhealthy. I do care about people constantly logging less than 1000 or saying that their goal is to be at an unhealthy weight level. Hitting like or saying good job to that type of a status update is what I would consider congratulating bad decisions.
-
I've gone trail running alone, though not at night... more afraid of animals (including skunks and rabid raccoons, lol) than of people though... but then again, I (was) in a generally safer area, where concerns about people being abducted weren't so strongly a threat. Look at the area you're in and how likely it is to…

You can do this :) I started off at 5'3 and just shy of 190... I know how scary the numbers can be when we're lil shorties! But it IS doable! Feel free to add me too :)

audreydahling (though everyone will assume your name is audrey lol) and I like sweetandspicy ETA Sadly, I've only just understood limostarlet.... I didn't make that car+glasses connection. Mamarazzi sounds cool too lol!

footieboy! (as in soccer... or soccerboy if you're in north america) I actually want a new username lol... gimmie whatcha got!
-
I totally have this type of mentality... but now I live in the desert and the AC's are kicking my *kitten* :( But real cold, I can handle. I don't need no coat!! OP, your heart is in the right place but you're making a lot of assumptions. Give to charity- as others have suggested maybe the school has a clothing or food…

Amazing job :)
-
You're amazing :heart: So great to see your progress pics!!
-
This!! I've been considering a new workout routine (I love running but it's getting boring) and have been wanting to start weight lifting because I thought it would get me to where I (thought I) want to be... but I'm totally going your route now ;) Thanks for answering the follow up q's as well- love the info :D
-
When you're running, do you care about what other people think? Probably not. Dress for you, not the rest of the world!
-
You managed to make it work together, while also cleaning the house, taking care of the kid and getting dinner. You're awesome.
-
lol.... if you go for this approach then don't put the shoe on the other foot and start being pissy that she wants to go alone... but it could also backfire and she'll just stop going altogether. That's no good either :(
-
My hubby and I had a similar situation as OP when I first started running... he used to run before we got together, then helped me pick up running... but wouldn't want me to run on my own (wanted it to be "our time") yet would always leave me in his dust trail as he ran ahead of me. I used to get SOOOO annoyed... I mean, I…

I'm pretty sure what they meant by "weird" or "odd", with regards to your shape, was that you don't fit the 3 cookie cutter molds they expect the world the fit in to. Don't be offended, just find a better store. VS is one of the worst places to shop... yes, the stuff's cute and lacy but their sizes are ridiculous.
-
There were times when I would look/feel fatter... it could be bloating, and I'm pretty sure when I started exercising a lot of it was cuz the muscles were getting harder under a layer of fat, which made it look like the fat was getting pushed out. That went away eventually though, just kept at it.
-
It's not chicken, but I like Wendy's chilli salad... I don't use the tortilla strips or dressing (the salsa and chilli and guac add enough mositure) and it's pretty low cal... can't remember the numbers right now but the database has accurate info.
-
This... and I also agree with that first person, doesn't matter what size you may be... get that negative self talk out! No more telling yourself you're being realistic either- you're doing something to better yourself, and that's what matters. Keep at it and stay positive :) You can do this :)

Ohhh you held it and weighed....
