Letting go after confusing body comments
TLDR: I'm struggling with his comments about my body even though I'm trying so hard to shake them off. I wrote a long post but it was too much. I'll just say that I just see myself lifting less and less, forcing fewer workouts, taking extra rest days, really internalizing this crap when I'm trying so hard not to! I tell…

Saying hello
I’ve lurked all July and finally saying hi. Lowered my carbs when I joined and have felt SO much better almost immediately. I played around with more standard macros for a year.

Recomp success stories?
I haven’t posted in a while. I’m a great maintainer, suck at keeping a big deficit, but I’m happy with my weight and size.

Temptation - does it ever get easier?
Does constantly being around temptation EVER get easier? I'm six months into this and I still have trouble around my family's snacks and takeout.

My calorie…

So we have a new button to click to respond to comments. It is a smiley face that says "woo." Is this "woo" like in quack ideas as I've seen them called here on MFP? Is the face laughing? Or is the face smiling and saying "woo" as in "woo hoo?"
