Success - dumped the ex, and boosted my confidence
At the time I started this journey, I was about 152-155 lbs, and between a size 8 and size 10. He didn't find me sexually attractive something he would regularly remind me of. He would constantly make me feel TERRIBLE about myself Well after losing 25lbs, and wasting 2.5 years on him, I finally decided to ditch 185lbs…

"I don't want to be too thin" - a "fat" people thing to say?
Hi! Just something I overheard the other day that got me thinking. Usually larger people saying that they don't want to be "too thin" or "skinny". In my opinion both of those terms are relative so one person views skinny as 5'5 110lbs person and another may say that the 5'5 girl is skinny at 120. So when you say "I don't…

Yes I am trying low-carb. A quick question about it
I am going from a "well rounded" diet of about 40% carbs, 40% protein and 20% fats to 10%, 45%, 45%. So I was averaging about 150 gr of carbs previously and am trying to stay around 20-30gr now. is that "low carb"enough to get an effect?

What I've learned from the past 4 months
I'm down 18lbs since the end of may, and along the way I've stumbled, cried, sweated and wanted to give up. I've read up on everything possible, and tried to soak it all up. Macros are confusing, low carb this, no don't you dare do low carb. Lift heavy, do cardio. Do this, don't do this. It can all be pretty confusing.…

Memory boxes from past relationships
How many of you have one? Does your SO have one? What are your thoughts/feelings on this? I don't have one, my SO does, and I think it's cute. A little funny that he has one, and I don't.

I WANT FLAWLESS SKIN
Seriously I'm about to be 24, and some days I wake up and feel like I'm 14 with fullblown acne. I have taken tetracyclin several times. Special soaps, toners, creams, you name it, I've tried it. Short of accutane I have no idea what to do. Anybody else that struggles with pimples as grown ups? It's become a joke for me…

For those that have done Atkins or are on it...
How much did you lose during induction? I am not doing a "proper" induction but staying between 25-40gr of carbs a day. I used to be at around 130-160gr. So far I've lost 3lbs in a week and am happy. Just curious as to what other have lost doing less than 20grams a day.

Stupidest fight you've ever had with your SO
We have a tendency to make small jabs at each other. we tease because we care, which generally can lead to some stupid fights, but the stupidest one we've ever had was over profile pictureson FB. Something so trivial and meaningless, and we ended up both getting really worked up. :explode: of course 5 minutes later we both…

For the College football fans
It's no secret I am an LSU fan, and with yesterday's news of TM7 leaving the team due to breaking NCAA rules, I am disappointed. I am not too worried about the team, as we have a lot of depth in our secondary, and maybe Collins will have his time to shine this season. I am more upset for TM7's sake. He is just a kid after…

TMI Topic - be warned and enter at your own risk
Okay this is incredibly embarassing, but my bowels are out of control. I go at least 3-4 times a day after reforming my eating habits - anybody else having similar issues? It's like clock work too.
