Thank you Marinas!

I agree. I am working on my very unhealthy body image and I love muscles. :)

I have been doing pretty good and fell off the wagon HARD this weekend!!! EVEN had fast food. I feel disgusting today and instantly have that pregnancy pooch. I am actually glad that I feel like...

I did not feel attacked at all and honestly feel like I have taken away some very good points here. The worst thing we can do is to be closed off to new information/ideas. I do not want to be...

Way to go!! That is truly impressive.

For those that have the extended fasts, do they have an adverse effect on your workouts? Weight lifting in particular?

Thank you! You are 100% correct that people should not be judged by the way that they look. Again, I am just being honest. That certainly does appear to be a flaw in my nature. I do not apply...

With google we could all have something "useful" to add to the discussion. :) Seriously though, I get what you are saying and she is a licensed physician, she obviously knows a thing or two about...

Absolutely not. My doctor is overweight and I am fine with her prescribing meds for a sinus infection, strep throat or doing my yearly physical. Her credentials are on the wall. However, I would...

I am anti-meds if possible myself and it is certainly easier said then done to just start being happy. I hope you find the answer soon. :)

I just had a bad weekend myself. So much stress and no weight loss and I kind of said eff it! Feeling down makes us fall off the wagon and then falling off the wagon makes us feel down. Just take...

I am sorry but if you are a hairdresser and have horrid hair, you are not touching mine. If you are working in a field that is about looks - then you need to walk the walk. Same goes for a...

Ok well except maybe to spell check prior to hitting reply...

Hi!! Welcome and I have zero advisce!;) I am new here myself and am just enjoying reading through the journals and forum in general.

Personally - I honestly do love all the arm-chair experts. Sometimes it makes me roll my eyes, but the majority of the time it makes me think about things in other ways that may or may not be...

Very interesting thread. I do think we tend to make things overcomplicated and mostly because people want an easy answer.
It took a while to gain the weight, it is going to take time to lose the...

"left the thighs to the imagination" I like that!!!

Fortunately, since mine is custom AND chiffon (outdoor Summer wedding) it is also forgiving. I am realistic when it comes to clothing sizes as they change from store to store, designer to designer. ...

You made me giggle! My fiance is fine with me the way I am right now. My dress is being custom made so no worries on the inches taken in or out either. However, my wedding reception is a...

I only weight once per week, so I am ok with keeping the scale.
I do go by how my clothes fit as well; however, as I have said - I have a hard deadline for a dress fitting and do not have much time...

Remove all the sodas and junk food. You are in complete control of her diet. Don't make it an issue in your home, just stop buying it. Having healthy food in the house will teach her to eat that...

I think I have been hungry twice since starting eating this way. I think because I am just getting used to all the protein.
On some level I get it - relax. I do enjoy life and I certainly...

Magnolia1973 - Thank you for your repsonse.

Weight lifting is my primary training. I prefer it to cardio and have been doing it for years.
I believe that because I have a decent base of...

Today is lower body workout for me - squats - weighted and wall, walking lunges, deadlifts, calf raises, leg curls
30 mins HITT on either the ArcTrainer or Elliptical.

WOW - I went away from the computer for the weekend and missed all of this great information. Thank you for everyone's comments. So much to consider actually.
Stats - ugh....5'4" - 146 pounds -...
