Crap I posted twice and I don't know how to delete it!

It's not possible that I'm aware of. Your body kinda does its own thing. I'm SERIOUSLY curious how much mine weigh though. I have wondered that for a while..... they must be the annoying 5 lbs or whatever I can't lose! I would rather have itty bitty titties than a squishy belly (which I currently possess). But seriously,…

I eat carbs a lot. I love carbs. I always been a more slim build, so I don't think they're all bad. I think if that's ALL you eat it can be bad, but you should be eating good quality carbohydrates and not processed crap. Can't hurt to try it though, and see how you feel. Personally, I think I would feel hungry if I didn't…

I'm so inspired! Where you are is exactly where I want to be. I am like you, no one would call me "fat" but I was much larger than I'm used to. I am reading your blog now and will be trying the TDEE-20%. I have noticed that I have been hungry lately and have been working out A LOT. I think my body type is similar to yours…

Wow! That is awesome. I am impressed that you had such awesome results in 6 months. That's a lot of hard work there. Good job! And thanks for the story. Inspiring.:smile:

Hi ! I would love to be friends and motivate each other, I'll add you. :)

28 here. I'll add you!

I think you should. I was pretty ravenous while breastfeeding and lost the weight quickly. I'm sure it's different for everybody but I just ate when I was hungry. I think all my calories went straight to my son and he gained all that CHUB that I lost, and it looked infinitely better on him. :wink: Good luck and happy…

I would say whichever is the most filling and has the least sugar... I personally LOVE Franz San Juan Nine Grain Bread. It may just be a Seattle thing, but it's so good. And it fills you up. Has lots of little nuts and seeds in it.

Wow! I seriously have no excuses. You look freakin fantastic and you know it! Love it!:happy:

Hi I am also not eating dairy and could use some helpful suggestions. Awesome! And I agree that 500 calories is scary, especially if you're running!

Hi my name is Melyssa and I am awesome! I felt like that was a decent introduction. LOL. Feel free to add me! Would love a new friend. :)

I like Tapatio hotsauce (I'm particular about the brand) on basically everything. Rice? Tapatio Toast? Tapatio Eggs? Tapatio Meat? Tapatio I've even eaten it on saltines and chex cereal.

Thanks guys! My body fat right now is definitely higher than usual but I'm still in the "average" range for my height. I will keep on keepin on with what I'm doing (I have made some huge changes to my diet in the last couple of months) and have already seen some great results. And you all look AWESOME!

When I was in middle school I was trying on some shorts for gym and asked my dad how they looked. He said with a disgusted look on his face, "I think you need to lose some weight." He was always mean to me and called me names, but I will never forget that one comment. I was going through puberty and my height hadn't caught…

I will add you. I'm happy to encourage you; I could use the same! :)

P.S. I LOVE Sugar. Ha!

I don't know the answer but I would love to hear what others have to say as I have ankle and knee issues on my left side and have naturally compensated FOREVER with my right side. I know I try to do extra reps with my left side when I'm doing weights and weight machines.... But I have no idea if that does anything.

I agree! I'm amazed by how many people fall for their sales scheme. I even have personal friends that have been trying to sell me that stuff. It's annoying.

You all can add me too, I'm in the same spot. On and off but finally serious. I do my best to check in with everybody and I think I'm about to start posting some recipes too so if you're up for it add me.

I just had a delicious pre-workout snack (I try to eat a couple hours before I go so I can go full force at the gym): A whole wheat tortilla with an egg, turkey, and hot sauce. I don't eat dairy, but if I did I would add some cheese to it! I am a spicy hummus addict. Anything with hummus is delicious. And salsa! Basically…

I think you made a smart choice. I like the scale because I get weirdly obsessive about numbers, so it's probably not a good thing. But I do notice when I'm not working out and eating the way I should it moves up, so it does help keep me on the right path. I am pretty sure I would also do just fine without it. Maybe…

You can add me (open invite to all)! I just got back on MFP and I'm ready to go harder than I ever have in my life. I'm 28.

Hi, I'm new to the group. Haven't "committed" to anything yet but I'm going to try a few things over the next week and see what I want to stick with. I'm here for the motivation!

I wouldn't call myself an emotional eater, but I am MOST DEFINITELY a sugar addict! Please, feel free to add me!

I'm 28 from Seattle. Looking for friends! :happy:

I'm a 28 year old from Seattle, U.S. I would love to meet some of you in my age group! :happy:

You guys look really, really good!:happy:

My son is 3 and recently started calling everyone "bro". Yeah, pretty sure he got that from his dad. :huh:
