<< i've been lifting heavy for over 5 years. i'm NOT bulky whatsoever!!! the reason building muscle is important because it improves your body composition, making you look tighter and less jiggly. as you lift, you build muscle which acts as little cal burning factories that CONTINUE to burn those cals even when you're out…

I know exactly what you mean. It's not that you "fear failure," it's just that your habits have become your comfort zone. For me, eating is a source of comfort and it's hard because I feel like I'm always sabotaging myself when I'm trying to lose. You really just have to push through it. On the days where you're like,…

youre probably gaining weight at less than 1000 cals per day. 1800-2000 is good to maintain your weight. honeyyyyyyyychild get some help before you have a ton of damage to undo in your later years (your body WILLLL retaliate and you wILL GAIN WEIGHt!!) eat better. c'mon, try for at least 1200 a day to see how much better…

LENTILS and BEANS are the #1 food sources for me to move things along. theyre pretty much laxatives. i find that if i eat too many lentils, my stomach gets completely bloated and i'm sh****ing for hours. no joke!!!!!! APPLES are good too, ALL BRAN cereal, and honestly, PEANUT BUTTER or some kind of nut. whenever i have pb…

1) stop having caffeine, so you dont wake up in the middle of the night. switch your coffee for green tea, then eventually green tea to just herbal teas. 2) keep a big water bottle next to your bed, so when you wake up in the middle of the night, TRAIN yourself to finish that water bottle right away before getting up out…

it could be because youre trying to just eat veggies/rice cakes and cut everything else out. try to eat something from all food groups and even incorporate fats in the forms of nuts and seeds with your meal so you feel satisfied after eating healthy. healthy food doesnt mean rabbit food! make better more filling,…

think about your condiments...are the full of sodium? you could be retaining water. are you drinking diet soda/artificial sugars? they could be bloating you and making your body not lose the weight it should. you might have to do weight lifting or some sort of strength exercise. but dont give up and throw in the…

tips: **these are the tips that worked for me, by all means they arent the ONLY way to weight loss. you can eat whatever you want in moderation, but i am saying this is what helped me out! 1. for the first week, stay off the scale. really! focus purely on eating clean and exercising. 2. eating clean means: vegetables,…

1 packet of oatmeal and 1 apple. keeps me full and not thinking about food till noon. (i eat bfast at 7am)

^ totally agree with this woman. yeah pizzza/ice cream/candy might fit in your macros or calories but it just makes me feel bloated, fat, and disgusting! which leads to binge eating. go ahead and eat those pop tarts for dinner though! in my game, its nutrients over calories i could care less about the caloric value of pop…

its an eating clean brigade from my experience....no canned food (sodium!!), nothing processed, minimal seasonings (only salt free! like ms dash), condiments are out of the question, less eating out, LOTS of drinking water (gallon a day!), cardio, and weight training sometimes twice a day. no gum, no drinking from straws,…

at that point, you gotta get to bed. know your triggers, keep the food AWAY from your face, and brush your teeth/shower to avoid it. go right to bed. three weeks of beating the cravings will break the habit, guaranteed. just stick with it. if that doesnt work, post a STOP EATING AFTER 7PM sign on your fridge if you have…

i've been sticking to my packed meals!!

the words "curdle" "grub" and "dookie"

DIET. AND LIFT WEIGHTS. if you are just doing the elliptical and zumba..those are okay but they're kind of like EH exercises. running, high intensity interval training, pilates, and especially weight lifting are so important for good abs but the most important of these is DIET. eat clean, limit condiments, make sure youre…

you stopped having sugar in your tea but you have honey....... do you realize honey is sugar too? so youve never stopped putting sugar in your tea/ honey, table sugar, EVEN fruit sugar, EVEN agave is ALL SUGAR and your body breaks all of them down AS sugar. so just cut it all out of your diet. do research!

oats are good; uncooked, they're lower in gi i hear...and rice cakes. ANYTHING gluten free is good, i've been noticing a huge difference eating gluten free!

i always reach for chocolate...chip...cookies

extreme bump!!

is two a lot? ho status

i sling my finger into one of the rings and just run with them in my hand. i also run with an ipod so i wouldn't DARE put them in my pocket because i wouldn't hear them if they fell out!!

i like this guy

bump....add flax seed to make these pancakes fluffier!! (i follow her instagram too!)

instead of sweet potatoes i am going to boil carrots and mash them up with a tbsp of unsweetened apple sauce and a dash of cinnamon. it will definitely be a lower cal substitute for those sweet potatoes!

trolling so hard i got my troll shades on. no. drinking warm water will not slow your metabolism whatsoever or us tea and coffee drinkers will have a problem. bulking is from eating an increase of calories with substantial amounts of carbs and fats.

it sucks, but unfortunately its just one of those things where youre going to have to either chose between the torture of sitting with the treat and not eating it, or chose between the torture of the belly aches after indulging on an entire package of treats. which one is the lesser blow for you? try subsituting, for…

i lift first then do cardio. lift for about half hour then see how much energy i have for cardio; bare minimum i do is 30 min and i dont go past an hour. i feel like doing JUST cardio is okay if you want to lean out; but you might get soft if you dont combine it with at least SOME resistance training. too much cardio burns…

i know it sounds so cheesy, but these prompts i made up really helped me get to my 30+ day no binge point. I bought myself a new journal with my favorite painting on it (Van Gough, Almond Blossom) in order for me to actually sort out my confused and jumbled thoughts i felt right before binge eating. at first i thought…

KIDS. i haven't had sex since.

bumping because i really needed to hear this today <3
