Love this show!

It gets my blood pumping every time - GREAT workout song. That whole album is great to workout to actually.

AC/DC - Back in Black Foo Fighters - White Limo Dramarama - Anything, Anything

I played the flute in the High School marching band. I love to read and one of my favorites is sci-fi. On the flip side, I was also a partier in HS, a girl who hung out with the surfers and sometimes the jocks, I'm a nerd on the inside, but I'm something completely different on the outside. :-)

No comment. ;-) Just kidding.

Have you read any of the threads on "spiking"? A lot of people do that on purpose... meaning they have one day per week that they eat excessivly in order to replenish some chemical or something that makes your body think its starving. Supposedly you actually lose weight faster, or eliminate plateaus anyway, when you…

Star Wars! :-)

So true... I had to force myself to eat when I was on a low carb diet. I was never hungry and I had tons of energy. I actually felt better on a low carb diet than I have ever felt before. My problem is a lack of will power. On a low carb diet, when you mess up for 1 day, or 1 meal even, it takes 3 or 4 days for your body…

As someone who has done both low carb and "normal" carb low calorie diets, I can attest to the fact that you lose weight a LOT faster on a low carb diet. In 1.5 months I could have easily lost as much weight as I have lost in 4 months on my "normal" carb low calorie diet. The problem, however, is that low carb diets don’t…

Definately my hair. Strangers approach me in the mall to tell me that they love my hair. Probably my eyes next. And last, but not least....my boobs! LOL

Sounds yummy!!!! I bet you could do this with cranberries or rasberries too!

I think you'd be doing her a favor to mention it to her. She may be getting discouraged by the low # of calories burned per her HRM (I know I am by mine) and you may actually keep her on track by letting her know that she's probably burning more than she thinks. I would love such advice from someone.

I went through the same thing just last week. MFP was telling me that I was burning over 400 calories for a 30 minute elliptical and I, sadly, learned that I was actually only burning about 180 calories.... :-( On the positive side, I was probably over eating (my goal was always to eat back 50% of my workout calories) and…

I like this!!!! And you know what? Your right! When I get to reward myself with a silky smooth piece of dark chocolate for a workout well done, it does taste better than anything I've eaten that day. :-)

I can almost guarantee you that you aren't burning 1300 to 1500 calories. The elliptical at the gym told me that I was burning about 115 calories for every 10 minutes I worked out. I didnt trust that, so I got a heart rate monitor that calculates my calories burned based on my heart rate, height, weight, etc. I now know…

I don't believe in Valentine's day. It's a corporate holiday created by the greeting card companies that puts way too much pressure on everyone. I'd much prefer to get flowers or chocolates on some random day of the week for absolutely no reason at all. :-)

Me too! Me too! More friends. :-)

That's funny...when I was in my 20's (I'm 42 now) people used to tell me that I looked like Julia Roberts all the time and Emma is her niece. LOL

Christina Ricci (pan am)

Yes! The V!

Intelligence, humor, the ability to hold a conversation......and a great smile! Nice shoulders don't hurt either.

Hard to crush on people you've never met....

:-)

I haven’t gotten any in a very long time either, but when I did, the best ones were always on some random day just to say I love you, thinking of you, or for some other sweet and totally unexpected reason. When the flowers are sent on a non-holiday or non-birthday, we know that you guys thought of it all on your own and…

Agreed!

Yes, I agree! And it makes the guy look pretty darn good too!

I'm 5'7" too. That said, I think it's impossible to "see what you would look like". Every body type is different and has curves (or not) in different places. Not to mention that people have different bone masses, etc. Personally, I can't/won't go by the "you are x height so you should weigh x pounds" theory. I am very…

I would focus on protein for the rest of the day....a couple of hard boiled eggs or maybe a grilled chicken breast and some fresh veggies. I love steamed broocoli plain and have started to squeeze fresh lemons on salad instead of using salad dressing. Starving yourself for one afternoon wont solve anything.

I just repositioned it and got back on the elliptical. Now its showing 155 bpm which is more consistent with the heart rate on the equipment.....
