Well, I'm so late to the party, lol. But can you let me know how you mentally did this: "Understanding that "eating clean" is meaningless and that in order to have true life long success I had to eat foods I enjoyed (ice cream, cookies, etc) on a regular basis but in moderation" You mention this as top 5 things that helped…

This...don't feel guilty! I had the same thing happen to me last year at my gym. They are preying on your "I really want to get back on track" feeling right now. Just pay what you can afford. Be firm. if they can't cut you a deal or find something that fits your pocket book, then you have the right to say "no thanks". They…

Thank you! Was thinking the same thing. Plus she mentioned to use low, non-fat cream cheese, which would give it a lower calorie count. Actually, any recipe could probably be revised to make an healthier option. :0)

HAHA! for realz. Plus I am sure she is still in a healthy fat% range even if her weight gain is all fat. Give me a break. We don't have her numbers to really know and can only see her results. Without data what can we really know.....

Well said.... :)

^^^ This. I actually have Supraventricular Tachycardia (erractic heart beat). I found out in 2010 when my heart felt like it was coming out of my chest. I was working out and noticed just holding on the machine heart rate thing it was getting up in the 200s. I saw the cardiologist and this is what he diagnosed. In my case…

^^^ this. I worked with a trainer in strength training & omg, I noticed the changes in my body. I didn't loose weight(the scale stayed the same or flexed btwn 3-4#'s) but I noticed I lost a lot of inches. Now this was over a 3-4 month period so I am just saying for your furture. Your already slim so I am betting you'll get…

Keep doing what your doing. Stay consistent. This happens. You have to keep going. There may not be loss everyweek, but you will loose if you keep at it. :)

Uh this...i'm gonna go out on a limb and say he knows your getting fit and healthy. This will result in you getting thin, so how does he feel about that. I would be asking him.

The day after my birthday is not my birthday..MOM...I got hurt feelings....

I know... there is a group Eat More to Weigh Less. They provide an explaination, how to begin to do this etc. Its pretty interesting.

Wait, there junk photos!? O.O Hmmmm.... *lol* I've been in this for all the wrong reasons.

Yes, this is a beautiful. you can do it. I am gonna friend you right now to help out. dont know how much help I can be... but hey we can do this!!

I have a stand up desk. I usually stand 30-60 mins then rest. No elbow problems.

I think we stayed at the same one....shea butter + cocoa butter. Make sure it the thick kind. Best to put on right after drying of so it gets absorbed into the skin.

In my best Stan voice " I learned something today" lol

I agree with this! I have worked with a trainer all year. And I actually regained some weight I had lost. But you know what I also lost a lot of inches, gained muscle, endurance, strength and cofidence in working with weights. Soooo nobody knows really what is going on looking from the outside in. The manager had no right…

I forsee a flaming bag of crap on her doorstep..... LOL

She took the words right out of my head...lol :) you have to find out what works. You will have to change it up here and there, but stay motivated. I started at 360 and have made it to 275. At 290 I had to totally readjust my calories and excersise to bust through a plateau:) If you want you will get at it and take it :)

NIce job! :drinker:

LOL! *like*

I just say this situation on one of those Judge/court shows. The tenanats were actually sueing for there total deposit of $600 adn actuall got rewarded double($1200). The won because the landlord didn't provide them an itemized list of why they were keeping the deposit. Apparently in that state (I think it was NY)…

BUMP - awesome all.

If you stop now THEY win. Those *****es at the gym just are just that. Someone telling you not to sit in a chair because you might break it, nonesense. HATERs are gonna HATE. That is all that is. Don't let them stop you from your goal. Your stronger than that. People who fee they have the right to say what they want,…

It sounds like you have a plan. Stick to it. But remember you can't gain all the weight you have lost in a week :) you may up the scale with water, but if you honestly keep to you calorie count and keep moving as you have planned out, you will be fine. Even if you have a slice a pizza or a small piece of funnel cake, that…

QUINOA!

I have this contraption at my desk that actually allows me to stand at my desk and do work. I try to do that throughout the day.

Bump. This sounds interesting.

I read an article with Jillian Michaels about if your starting out with this weight loss thing to try to do 80/20 = 80% of your calories are good healthy food and 20% is the things you crave and make sure your moving moving moving :) DavPul mention incorporating some of those things in with your daily food. This can help,…
