This thread makes me giggle. I love all of the offending songs mentioned so far except for the Hippo song.

The flavored ones are a bit higher in sugar than the plain ones, so keep that in mind.

Try it and see. The deficit may be too much for one person, but fine for another. Give it a whirl!

Just eat them and get over it. They are good for you, so suck it up. Find ones you can tolerate or prepare them differently.

She is definitely a good inspiration for me. I don't want a gymnast build or body builder definition. I want to be at a healthy weight (which she is), be a little softer (which she is, not a thing wrong with that), and get my 5k time under 30 minutes. While she may not have your ideal body, she is definitely not fat or…

I put it on the food scale for whatever grams the can says is a serving size.

Yup, Adele is fat. I am fat. Many people on this site are fat. We are fat because we have too much blubber on our bodies!

No. It is not normal to eat at a calorie deficit for three months and not lose weight, especially if you are obese. Something isn't right here.

Yeah, that sounds like a scale issue. Mine weighed me 20 pounds LESS one day, and I knew it was goner.

Seriously! I forgot to respond to the ultrasound picture my best friend sent me. DS was crying and it was just a hellish, busy day and I plum forgot. I can't imagine a TRUE friend ENDING a friendship over not replying to a freaking text, no matter how important it is.

Neither, it was water weight. Maybe a half a pound was fat, but when you eat lower in carbs, your glycogen stores in the muscles deplete, which contributes to the quick loss.

I spent $2k on emergency surgery to get my cat's urinary blockage unblocked at the emergency vet hospital. If it is something where my pet has a fighting chance of making it, you better believe I am going to do whatever I can to help him. I did go into debt for this, BUT, I knew my DH and I could pay the debt off within a…

Sounds like you might want to get some professional help for your developing eating disorder.

Almonds and eggs here. I may try some of the flavored almonds to bring their mojo back

I don't mean to sound obtuse, but what did you expect it to look like? What someone looks like at a certain rate will vary so much based on numerous factors. Just keep working towards your goal weight; you can always lower it if you want to.

I would say you aren't eating enough. Under 1300 calories is way too little for exercising 6 days a week, and you appear to be fairly close to your goal weight, which means you need a smaller calorie deficit. I would try upping the calories to 1600, maybe even 1800 depending on how much you are burning during exercise.

They bloat me. Both times I have been on them, I put on 5 pounds of bloat within a week ( I am guessing due to the hormones). Said bloat left when I went off them.

If what you are doing has been working for you, then I would stick with it. If you feel is isn't, then upping is worth a shot. I do feel your calories are too low based on that amount of exercise, unless you are eating back exercise cals.

Lower the carbs (bread, rice, pasta, starchy veggies, high sugar fruits) and up your protein (chicken, beef, tenderloin), fat (olive oil, peanut butter), non starchy veggies, and lower sugar fruits. Eat at a deficit to lose about a pound a week as you are pretty small already. 110 isn't a realistic goal, much too low for…

bump!

I didn't have any weight gain, but it KILLED my sex drive and made me a moody biotch. What's the point of BC if you are too mean to have relations? I have the ParaGuard IUD and I love it. Much better!

Dude, you were at 20. it's likely your hubs just didn't want to be married anymore, hence his nastiness. Ignore him and enjoy your life!

I look like hell without makeup. Ruddy skin with lots of scars from acne. A good foundation is key for me. My lips are fine natural, as they have quite a bit of natural color. I have to have mascara though, or I look exhausted. Darn these blonde eyelashes! Eyeshadow I wear when the mood strikes. A sweep of bronzer/blush,…

I am friends with people I have a lot in common with, so in my case this tends to be mothers, especially SAHM mothers, people who eat a lower carb/higher protein diet, or enjoy the same workouts as me. I have never had a male request, but would definitely accept if he I thought he could help/inspire me.

Thank you! You have enough kids. Four by 24?! Focus on keeping them and yourself happy and healthy

It depends on your settings. If you have sedentary, then I would. I have mine as moderately active, so I wouldn't because it is already factored in.

There is such a thing as having too much confidence.... I know what you mean though. It normally takes a picture, especially where i am with someone of normal weight for me to see how fat I really am
