People fear change. So if you are changing yourself, and your BF is used to you one way...he is fearing that. Most people fear the loss of what they know. He'll get over it. :) Just don't compromise yourself for someone else.

oh my... 7.5% bodyfat and you thought you were fat.... :)

When I was in high school, my parents took in a young lady in her 20's who was anorexic/bulemic....she weighed about 60lbs. It was really difficult to watch her obsessions, and she was really mean too...I think it was all a part of the disease...and I understood that. Eventually, she had to be...

I really appreciate this. I keep telling myself...keep going. I really really enjoy exercising, and especially lifting weights...makes me feel stronger and healthier. I KNOW that I can't expect overnight results, and I'm kind of addicted to the scale, which I know is just an obsession I'm going...

My calories...definitely not too high. If anything I think they may be too low. 1200 or less....been trying to eat 5 or 6 times a day....feel like i'm stuffing my face...but still not getting in the calories... Im not used to eating stuff like oats, yams, egg whites, chicken breast...I was...

This information is exactly what I need! Have had NO idea what I should be doing or how I should be splitting things up. I am so grateful for your experienced!

I am SO happy that you've replied to me. I hope to get a lot of insight here! Need a good plan! Doing so much research, I have seen so many recommendations on how to do things that it gets so very confusing.

Thanks! I look forward to some sort of direction. I'm lost! :)

Hi. I have been reading this discussion board for the past week. My name is Leslie. I am the mom to two... At the end of March, I joined my local gym because I saw a photo of myself with my kids, and couldn't believe it was me. I'm 5'4 1/2 and weighed 150 pounds. I don't have a way really...
