  • I felt that same way about a guy i went to law school with. I knew he was SO into me and I just didn't feel like he was my type. I ended up marrying him and we have a baby on the way. I say go on that date, because you really never know!
  • I couldn't get another Beagle or Shiba Inu. I feel like my dogs have such distinct personalities and I guess I attribute much of that to the breed. Another dog of the same breed just can't replace the hole in my heart that I would have if one of my dogs passed away. I would get an Akita, Lab, Husky, or Retriever. As a…
  • I know people skinnier than twigs with a saggy chin. So it's definitely not something you can 100% control with diet. Sorry to hear about your sister. My face is probably always going to be round and puffy! It's in my genes :) Just as long as my booty is not always round and puffy lol!
  • Me, too! It's really liberating to physically separate yourself from negativity! Out of sight, out of mind has never rung so true!
  • Feel free to add me as a friend. As a native to New York, I know all about snowy and cold winters. I moved here for school, ended up getting married, and then staying here indefinitely. While the winters in Arizona are quite nice, I still can't get used to the summers. 120 degree heat is not something everyone can "just…
  • if you have to go out, froyo. if you stay in, greek yogurt :)
  • I agree with this statement! Also, no processed foods (if it comes in a box or a can, it's very likely processed). Eliminating caffeine, sugar, and gluten make my skin look so much better!
  • Stop beating down on OP. Many of us may have found that eliminating dairy has done wonders for their own health. In my case, I have to agree that dairy does have an effect on acne. First reducing and then altogether eliminating dairy from my diet has changed my complexion completely. I went from greasy pizza face to clean…
  • Me too! Well, originally I got on here to lose weight for my wedding, which I did successfully. However, after the wedding came the holidays and the bar exam, so I gained back 75% of what I lost in a time span of just 3 months. Now I'm ready to lose it all again and my husband would like to try for a baby!
  • Bikram is not really the right type of yoga for beginners. It's really hard, even for people who have been doing yoga for years. Maybe switch to a beginner's course without all the heat and humidity? No one is great the first time they do any type of yoga, so please don't be discouraged! You just need to find the right…
  • Hi ladies! I'm TTC too! it looks so easy on TV, one little one night stand is all it takes on TV, right? Well, I am finding that it's not that easy! My husband and I have just started trying last month. I was so hopeful up until the point that Aunt Flo came by over the weekend. I was hoping NOT to see her! My husband won't…
  • ecto or meso!
  • Yeah, just a little resistance training and ab work and you will be just fine. It'll trim you down in all the right places and you'll be satisfied with the results.
  • Agree. And it's like saying, "oh, I ate 15 lbs of 95% lean ground beef every day and I have no idea how I gained weight!"
  • Honestly I'd be pissed because if you be sharing the same guests, guests will naturally compare your wedding to your friend's wedding at the same place. I wouldn't want my wedding compared to anyone else's.
  • I am wondering the same question for myself before I even start Insanity. Is the suggested calorie calculation really going to be enough? At 5'4" and 132 lbs, 1674 cals seems like too little given the strenuous exercise. Based on the answers so far, it seems that the consensus points to eating more if your body is telling…
  • The Insanity booklet says that if you are not used to strenuous exercise quite yet, then you should start with another one of the Beachbody programs and then work your way up to Insanity. That's why I am doing Brazil Butt Lift first and let me tell you it's a killer! I am scared to start Insanity after i finish Brazil Butt…
  • YES! then i don't have to wake up and worry if i have anything "business casual" AND clean to wear. don't you hate having to do laundry just so you have something to wear to work?

  • Agree.

  • yikes!!!! i wouldn't want a huge gap like that! it's a rather unhealthy and unshapely look.
  • Not even close! More like a 23" waist! It's funny that men are guessing 29" waist - that says that men really don't see numbers the same way women do.
  • I agree with all of the above. But at least you have ONE highlight -- San Diego, CA is just two hours away and it's a very beautiful, scenic drive.
  • WATER. track your water and try to drink like 12 cups a day. it works for me!
  • You will lose SOME weight by doing a little exercise and slightly modifying your diet. I did almost no exercise but changed my calorie intake, and within a month I lost 10 lbs. Once I lost that first 10 lbs, I had a lot more energy to start exercising. Then I started exercising and the weight came off even more, while I…
  • november 3 2012! i tried on dresses when i was at my start weight. i was so depressed with how the dresses looked on me. it was at that point that i vowed to change my eating habits and to start exercising. i also promised myself not to go shopping until i lost weight. i lost 10 lbs and that gave me a lot of confidence to…
  • It happens to everyone, even experienced athletes. When I used to run Cross Country and Track, my coach used to tell us, the night before meets, to "move our bowels." Try going to the bathroom before you run. Try even if you "don't feel like going."
  • i'm allergic to fresh apples too! i can have apple pie, apple sauce, apple juice (yes apple juice is pasteurized [heated to a certain temp] so it is technically "cooked"), but not an uncooked apple. I break out into hives all over and my lips swell up! i thought i was the only one :)
  • YES! Lock & Lock is the best. I got a groupon/living social of theirs once and tried it out. Their products are really top quality.
  • Skinny Cow ice cream!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
