hi Jen!!!! welcome back. I'm a tryer, and I do not give up. shall we be friends?

I've done it, but for a painting, not photographs.

OMG, I laughed out loud.

When a guy says that, assume he is telling the truth, and there's nothing wrong with that. But DO NOT expect him to change.

WW is wrong about that. The diuretic properties of caffeine are exaggerated.

why would sodium matter? Sodium doesn't turn water into not-water.

Cauliflower is 100% nasty crap if you ask me. :)

Are you saying women can't be sexist? sounds kinda sexist. :)

ALL non-alcohol liquid, including water in your food, counts in the 8 glasses.

Cauliflower "rice" and "mashed potatoes" taste like ... cauliflower. yuck!

are you not following the thread? 2-3 hours a day.

You're right, there's no point.

Tania, you are eating 1200 calories a day and burning most of the calories off. You cannot afford to eat treats at that calorie level (every day, by the way, not once in a while). At 1200 calories, you food has to be all good nutritious food. If you blow 400 calories on cookies, you won't get enough nutrients in the…

And my point was that for SOME PEOPLE, not everyone but still a lot of people, the sugar content by itself is unhealthy.

I can't tell since you have locked your diary, but when it was open, I saw candy and cookies.

I support anyone who is following a healthy diet -- and there are many variations on a healthy diet. I cannot support someone who is following an unhealthy diet and encouraging others to do the same.

Your diary shows plenty of junk food, and very little food for a whole day. so your example is not the healthiest, at all.

Just f**** do it!

Did Jennie Craig have you eating half your calories as junk food, or was it nutritious food? did they have you exercising 2-3 hours a day? Sorry, but you're not doing the same as if you were still with JC.

I didn't tell you or anyone else what to eat. As for your smoothie, I'm sure it has health benefits, but it would be too much sugar for *me*.

haha! then we should get married!

If I drank that for breakfast, I would pass out by 10 am. I'm insulin resistant. Fruit sugar is still sugar, to your body. At McDonald's my best choice is an Egg McMuffin (no cheese or meat) OR scrambled eggs and an English muffin.

This is a great thing to point out. Many people tear muscles or tendons *from stretching*. I tore calf muscles in both legs (20 years apart) and both times it was while I was stretching. I wasn't doing anything extreme, just a little calf stretch, and POP! so it certainly does have its dangers.

Mickey - you may be able to help the aches and pains by stretching after. :)

The most research over the last few years supports what you're doing. No benefit has been found to stretching before exercise, and in fact it can decrease performance and increase injury. There may be some benefit to stretching after. Here are some links to reliable sources.…

honey, you did something. Just ask her straight up. You aren't psychic!

probably not much longer, I'd think

thanks to all for your replies. I do feel like a freak at times -- although mostly when people have strange reactions. Because clearly I must be a SERIAL KILLER. right? I am a passionate person and have been in love more t han once, but it seems I pick the wrong people, because so far it has not been mutual. In the…

bump

she is recording over 1000 calories a day of exercise, so I think that counts.
