Hi yall, I'm starting to take this journey seriously and would love support of other people (and to lend my support back). I'm in CA, and I don't believe in "dieting"...balance is key. I love Orange Theory fitness

But I wanna weigh 140!! Lean Body Mass and Goal Weight?
I'm a 170-lb female triathlete. I'm 5'5" tall. I just got a hydrostatic body fat test yesterday, was found to be 28% BF. My Lean Body mass is 122 lbs, which apparently is a lot of LBM for a chick my size. I"m a muscular ***** :) I was told that if I dropped to 22% bodyfat ("good), while maintaining LBM, that would put me…

Pain of a Breakup - 4 months Later?!? Food!
I'm feeling it big time today, having seen him this weekend and had an amazing dinner, etc... After we broke up Sept 6, I pretty much stopped drinking, eating crap, and sex of course ended. I don't do drugs either. So what else is there? FOOD! I feel very vulnerable right now and on the verge of a trip to the corner store…

At What Weight do you have a MENTAL BLOCK?
I've been 150 pounds twice as an adult. For exactly 1 day each. Then I promptly began eating my way back up to where I'm "comfortable", between 160 and 175. There's something about 150 that taunts, teases, and threatens me in some way. Fear of success? Attention? Not feeling like i deserve more? This time that number will…

Any Other Tri(f)athletes/Ironmen out there?
Hi people! I'm a Fathlete. :drinker: Did an Ironman last year, still 20 pounds heavier than I wanted to be, if you can believe it. 15 hours and 30 minutes!

When people say "You don't need to lose that much."
I am 5'5" and currently weight 171. My current estimated goal is 140. It's not insane. It's still on the high range for the dreaded Healthy BMI. And yet, I'm amazed how people will say "No way! You're going to be emaciated. That's too much!" Ok, it's true that I tend to run muscular and maybe I carry my weight reasonably…

Baby Carrots Eat a Hole In my Stomach
Ok, so this is weird, but I swear to you that the more baby carrots I eat, the hungrier I get. My stomach will start growling! I have started eating them again with Hummus, and whenver I eat them, I always feel hungrier after. Snap Peas = fine Baby Carrots = evil hungry makers

HI all! I want some friends! :) My friend Karen has been telling me about how great this site is for months and it must be true b/c she has lost over 20 pounds already.
