  • I've done spinning and gj4man is right, it's a brutal workout! Burns a lot of calories but the seats are NOT comfy! I've also done Zumba and had a great time, it's fun cuz you're dancing and it's almost like you're not even working out. Out of the two I prefer Zumba, I want to get the game for Wii as well so I can do it in…
  • My profile pic changes from time to time depending on my mood. My pic right now is up because every word on it is true and because Jack Layton was a great man, may he rest in peace!
  • quinoa (pronouned KEEN-WA) is a great grain that is also a complete protein, you can use it the same way you would couscous. try using COMPLEX carbs like whole or multi-grain pastas and breads. i have a friend who is a pescatarian, so she only eats fish, eggs and dairy products apart from veggies and grains so I can always…
  • Have you considered getting up at 6am and doing your work out before the little one gets up? Is that even an option? What kind of lunch break do you get at work? Would it be possible to take a 20-30 min brisk walk during your lunch break? Is there anyway that you can leave your son at the nursery for an extra half hour to…
  • cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers served with hummus or low-fat tzatziki. a small salad with a oil/vinegar dressing lots of healthy low-cal options...
  • too many pages of responses to read them all but I'm a little shocked by some of the responses, it might not be "any of their business" but people are prone to ask those kinds of questions, I really don't think anyone does it to be mean, they might honestly be curious. A few years ago I was visitng a friend and her son…
  • way to go! saying no to Timmy's can be really hard and I occasionally "splurge" with a large coffee and blueberry fritter... I love blueberries!! @hillm12345 - way to go on the no soda!! I was drinking approx 6 cans of REGULAR soda A DAY!! Three months ago I gave it up cold turkey... had a migraine from hell for a couple…
  • @hm_day, I have two, one is wood with a lamb skin head the other is made by Remo and it has a resin body and a "fiberskyn" head, it's some kind of fiberglass-sih material, they are sexy, I'll try and get a pic of "my boys" and see if I can post it.
  • Hey, might not be a Goddess, or might be but I checked a baby name side and found Adena which is an alternate spelling of Adina which is apparenlty Hebrew in origin and means Noble, Delicate. Sounds like the noble part would definitely fit what you're doing! Don't know if that helps! Also, just to maybe make you feel a…
  • Hey Guys! Jennifer Morrison (Emma Swan) was live tweeting last night and she "reminded" everyone that in the first or second ep they did a partial reveal that Ruby the Waitress IS Little Red Riding Hood. As for Cinderella there was an episode about her and she was the pregnant girl in the one episode that Emma helps outs,…
  • Hey everyone! Love the show and I have to say honestly... Henry is probably my fave. He was a great actor on Mad Men and I love him on this show too. As for how to keep the show going, the EPs (Executive Producers) have gone on record as saying just because the "curse" might be broken or people might start remembering who…
  • had to add a couple more, Jamie Oliver, one of my favourite chefs EVER has named his kids and well, honestly I feel sorry for them 1) Petal Blossom Rainbow - daughter 2) Daisy Boo Pamela - daughter 3) Poppy Honey Rosie - daughter 4) Buddy Bear Maurice - son Yah, poor kids! So "normal" people aren't the only people who give…
  • Okay, so a lot of responses to read but had to submit a couple, I used to work at a call center and some of the names were just... ridiculous 1) Don Key --- REALLY?? 2) Kimberly Clarke --- um... toilet paper company....yah 3) Ida King - drag performer in the making?? 4) Mr. Kuntz - pronounced KOONTZ but still...poor guy My…
  • I don't make my own pesto but I do have a recipe I use pesto in. I call it "The 3 P's" 1 can of green peas 1 - 2 tbsp pesto (or to taste) 1 tbsp parmesean cheese (or to taste) I start by heating up a sautee pan on like medium heat. I add a quick spray of cooking spray (the one I use most often is Crisco butter flavoured…
  • That is so epically awesome... I LOVE when people ask obvious questions but THAT has got to be the BEST "here's your sign" response EVER!! Thank you for adding another laugh to my Friday afternoon!
  • LMFAO this is GREAT!! didn't check the links but you definitely got my attention... **giggles** thanks!!
  • oh! something else i just thought of, you say you do 3 sets of 8 reps... is the 3rd set a serious struggle?? does it feel like you're not gonna be able to finish it?? cuz i'm lifting right now, just trying to tone, but I do 3 sets of 12 reps with a decently heavy weight and by the end of the 3rd set I am usually trembling…
  • can you open ur diary? we might be able to offer better ideas on nutrition if we can see what your eating, also... do you eat/ingest protien within an hour of your workout?? A lot of the guys at my gym (employees and heavy lifters) have told me it's a good idea after any strength training to eat something, preferrably high…
  • 1500 net calories?? MFP doesn't give credit for calories burned doing strength training but lifting weights does burn calories so may try upping your calories a bit?? Also, are you taking rest days or just doing weights every single day??
  • never been SOOO happy to live in Canada.... anyway... I can now argue to my mom that pizza for breakfast is good for me! Wow... really though???? Pizza = vegetable?? What's next... pop tarts = fruit??? Um....yah...have fun guys!
  • I saw it on Dr. Phil so I bought the book and read through it but it seemed a bit restrictive to me so I decided not to do it, but then again I LOVE LOVE LOVE my carbs and the first section was basically NO CARBS at all and I love having apples and peanut butter at night and the diet doesn't want you eating fruits afte a…
  • H2O, had a coffee not long ago but just water now...
  • I have mine set at 1.5 and have since the beginning, I average between 1 and 2 pounds a week, this last week I lost 2.6 pounds so I'm really happy with it, I find I can eat the calories "allowed" to me and feel full and happy and have room if I want a treat occasionally... it's all personal preference...
  • sounds delish! and somewhat like a drink I used to make, the one I used to make was 1 cup chocolate milk (could use soy or almond milk) a couple tbsp of peanut butter and half a banana (add some more vitamins and potassium) I like the idea of using cocoa instead of choco milk cuz there is a lot of added sugar in the…
  • according to my fiance I am most like Kaylee, which I am SO okay with!! I am perky, I am always positive and I do like to tinker with things... yah I guess I am most like Kaylee... :-)
  • know how you feel, been walking around since yesterday feeling like someone is trying to carve out my uterus with a dull, rusty spork!! Also, the pain is so bad at time that my thighs hurt and it's hard to walk... even Tyelnol Menstrual wasn't working...it totally SUCKS!!! I seriously HATE HATE HATE "Aunite Flow"!! Henious…
  • Kay, no idea who this chick is but EEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! she lookes disgusting! Her boobs are hideous and she looks like she got painted with coffee and verathane!!!!! Doesn't even look like the same person in those before and after pics cuz the skin colour is massively different. No respect here! Then again, I've…
  • You're welcome! Don't know what happened on the other post but glad to see people are being reasonable on your post. Hope you get better soon!!
  • I think it's a great question!! I'm with AmberMarie09, I'd leave them there because depending on how soon after you eat that you're stomach decides to rebel some of the food might have already been digested and you don't want to inadvertently go over your calories because you delete the calories after vomitting. Honestly,…
