Right. Vemma happens to be both an MLM, and was found to be operating a pyramid scheme. MLM's themselves are not illegal, but they way they're set up is often associated with pyramid schemes. This just happened to be one that, well, actually was. Thanks, @janejellyroll

Friendly :D

I'm 5'5 and 3/4? haha. My highest weight was 210. Currently 160. Trying to get back down to 135.

"6 hours on Atkins." Me as well, Ms. Hoffman.

@minniemickey‌ I'd still suggest having *something* in the evening in place of the egg whites. Maybe, like, a protein shake, or a small piece of cheese (think Babybel-sized) or something? The program is *great* for beginners learning to lift weights, or even intermediate students wanting a solid program to follow. From the…

I've been off and on the pill for the last six years (medical reasons). Yes, I undoubtedly believe being on the pill increases my appetite. I hate it. I have no science to back this up with; that's just my experience.

I work 8am-5pm. I go to bed at 8pm. I get up at 4am to go to the gym. I get a lot more done in the morning with fewer distractions. I can't work out after work either; just can't get focused and the gym is too packed. It's definitely not for everybody, but that's just my priority. I also have the luxury of not having kids?…

Boobs always go first, for me anyway. And I love it. I do not miss having a big chest at all. I dropped from a 38DD to a 34B. Once upon a time, they even got down to an A. That's kinda what I'm shooting for, but it'll go whenever it feels like going.

I second the New Rules recommendation. Also, there are a TON of lifting programs available on bodybuilding.com. They also have little 30-second videos that actually demonstrate how to correctly perform the lift. If you want a great starter program, check out Jamie Eason's LiveFit Trainer. Start light in the beginning so…

I know there are a lot of keto proponents on these forums, and if it works for you, sweet. But for me, that was the worst diet I've ever tried. I lost about fifteen pounds in two months, but when I rebounded, I rebounded so hard that it took me six months to get back into the swing of things without being weird about…

Tried to make a "Protein Mug Cake" from a Pinterest recipe. It was a mistake. Just ended up tasting like scrambled eggs with strawberry flavoring...yuech...

25-year-old, sedentary 8-5 office job. But I work out 6 days a week. Starting weight: 198, current weight: 153. Anyone can add me!! I love new friends :)

I go there pretty often, actually (seriously, once a week, it's my sister-in-law's favorite place), and I usually get the grilled chicken with a side of asparagus. No harm, no foul, move on.

Been there :) I don't know if you can handle canned tuna, but it's probably the cheapest, healthiest thing you can keep in a dorm room. No fridge necessary. All you need is a can opener and some way to season it (think Mrs. Dash or something).

Ewwwww! That's hilariously awful! I learned something today :)

Super active, posts random grumpy statuses throughout the day, likes to comment on other people's posts :)

I feel like I eat a stupid amount of protein, particularly animal protein, for someone who doesn't really even like meat that much. Anyway, my main protein sources throughout one example day come from some or all of the following: Protein powder, protein bars, peanut butter, cheese, chicken breast, ground turkey, ground…

@PlaydohPants I just really like the phrase "hate brownies"

Weird method: Wait til you get sick. Naw, seriously, enough people touch that crap that gets left out in break rooms. All it took was me getting a nasty stomach bug, along with a couple other people in the company, that now I'm happily terrified of touching the stuff anybody else brings. Not worth throwing up.

Oh god, I'm gonna sound so basic, but anything from Starbucks. When I started, I figured, hey, it's basically just coffee, right? Puh-lease, I coulda been going to Dairy Queen and getting a large blizzard for some of the stuff they have on their menu.

Yup, happens every month like clockwork. I don't psych myself out over it anymore. It leaves just as quickly as it comes up.

[/quote] Wight loss doesn't need to "kick started". You are not a motorcycle. Just start. Work up to 2 workouts a day if that's your end goal, but to begin a weight loss regimen with something that extreme is more than likely dooming you to burnout and eventual failure, I'm afraid. [/quote] I am going to use this quote in…

I repeated the cycle twice, all the way through - and I second @DjinnMarie‌ It's a fantastic beginner program, especially if you follow the nutrition. Could not recommend more highly.

I read the OP and realized...I don't? That's kinda weird. The first year I started trying to lose weight, I reward myself with little purchases for every 5 pounds lost or so. But the rewards never did any good. Now, I'm just in a place where it doesn't occur to me to reward myself for participating in my normal fitness and…

Personally, I've never had to get a bigger size bra than what I normally wear. I'm a 34B in regular bras and a 34B in sports bras. It was the same when I was a 38DD; the sizes matched. You should expect to be comfortable - even high endurance bras shouldn't be that tight. What brand did you purchase? Myself, and a lot of…

I've had three different personal trainers in my life, one in each major city I've lived in, and they were all very unique. One was a marine, one was a bikini competitor, and one was a strongman competitor. They each taught me entirely different things. The key is to make it worth it, and that's all up to you. PT's can get…

Honestly, I hate chicken. I eat it pretty much every day, but I've never enjoyed it.
