  • whether or not you can access the music really depends on what happened to your computer. uploading music onto your computer from a CD will create audio files of the tracks and store them on your computer. so itunes is what you use to play it, but the computer is what holds it. if you're accessing itunes on another…
  • some people can stick to under 100g of carbs per day and still be in ketosis. you seem to be one of those people. if 50 or so grams are coming from insoluble fiber, you can basically not count those. you're probably also depleting your glycogen stores through your strength training.
  • beautiful smile!
  • hahaha. you take 12 shots of vodka a day. **** off with your bull****.
  • about 128 or slightly more of water, 160 if you count tea and decaf coffee.
  • you can buy that tea at the store for like $7.00/pack. just sayin'
  • 1. don't approach. you have to be cool about it, man. when people approach me at the gym, i generally think that they're there to pick people up. 2. the next time you guys make eye contact, smile at her. not a creepy, "your body looks smokin' hot" smile, but a genuine, friendly smile, the same one you might give to an…
  • i completely agree. i think it's more than possible for two people to share a bed when they're waiting for marriage. ultimately, this comes down to communication and respect. the OP doesn't owe her horny boyfriend sex.
  • if you're really serious about not losing your virginity until marriage, i suggest setting some clear boundaries with him. he's obviously trying to have sex with you.
  • i'm under 20g of carbs and under 1200 calories. - drink as much water and herbal tea as you can stand. it's important to be very hydrated. - plan all of your meals ahead. - for some reason, caffeine intake negatively impacts my weight loss on low carb. your mileage may vary. - don't pay too much attention to ketone…
  • nice try, nosferatu!

  • it seems like the entire basis of your argument is upon the faulty logic that we poop unabsorbed calories. fecal matter is not calories that were not absorbed by the body. fecal matter is a combination of water, protein, bacterium, mucus and other liquids produced by the body as well as insoluble fiber. it's not a…
  • http://bit.ly/OiavW2 here you go.
  • eat some carbs. seriously. i've been through this before and the only thing that helps me is slowly stretching and increasing my carb intake to restore the glycogen in my muscles.
  • first of all: <3. don't be disappointed in yourself; you've already made awesome progress. i'd say this can mostly be attributed to weight loss and loose skin, prior pregnancies with the c section, age, and genetics. it's really hard for your muscles to recover after a c-section. would a "tummy tuck" make you feel better…
  • girl, you are ROCKING those curls.
  • i know exactly what you mean. i'm a pretty vocal, soap-box type of feminist, and i'm not totally in the mood to jump on my soapbox right now. i just came to show some solidarity. i believe in the white-washing of the beauty ideal. even though our concept of the beauty ideal is constantly shifting -- and that's the point of…
  • and where do you expect to lose that 25 lbs. from?! you've got a smokin' hot body! :)
  • if you're eating a lot of fiber during the day, you need to make sure you get tons of liquid. everyone's body is different, so just play around with your amounts. i need to drink at least 15 cups of water to feel properly hydrated. if i take a fiber capsule, i drink a full glass of water with it. are you drinking less…
  • i'd love a few good suggestions too. i went to victoria's secret yesterday but they didn't have a huge selection in-store, and their cup sizes were a bit too small for my D cup. then i tried some at target, but they felt like they'd just snap.
  • that's exactly what i was thinking. if they're at the gym and seem to be breezing through things, they might not be pushing themselves hard enough. no matter how fit i am or how fit i get, i want to struggle when i hit the machines. otherwise, it's not wort it. if i wanted a leisurely work out i'd go on a walk or something.
  • before: 55. after: 48.
  • have you tried a belgian wit? i had one yesterday that was absolutely gorgeous. one of the best beers i've ever had. i wish i could remember the name. if you like lambic, i think you'd like some of them.
  • same, minus the cheese. my breakfasts usually clock in at about 200-300. if i'm not eating eggs, i'll eat a small tuna salad. i can't stand typical breakfast foods except for eggs, and even then i can only eat them scrambled, boiled, or poached. if i don't eat enough protein and fat, i'm hungry an hour or two later.
  • obviously you can mix it into just about anything. i love wilting it into a pot of quinoa with a homemade vinaigrette, lentils, roasted cauliflower, diced tomatoes, and onions. fry thin slices of garlic and shallots in a tablespoon of olive oil, then toss in whole leaves of spinach and half a teaspoon of lemon zest or…
  • **** that noise. tell her she deserves the pain she's in for how cruel she is. (i don't actually believe that anyone deserves physical pain. but still. this made me angry.)
  • are the dark pictures the ones with the shorts? i think you look ****ing FANTASTIC. you say you lived with him for two years, so i imagine that you do care about this guy. bearing that in mind, i'm going to try to be as sensitive as possible when i say that some people just can't stand it when their friends or lovers get…
