my guess is that since you're naturally full busted (small ribcage large boobs) then this is the shape that you will have as you lose weight. it seems like the girls who are full chested (larger rib cages) are able to lose boob size. just based on my experiences as a full busted gal, when i lost 30 pounds it was 5 pant…

in addition to what others have mentioned about proper shoes for your gair and checking your form, you might also want to look into getting compression sleeves for your lower legs. when you first start running you'll start to feel muscles in your lower legs (and feet) you knew you had :laugh: i found the compression…

nope not me.. my great grand dad died when he was over 100 a few years ago and he FINALLY decided to learn how to read when he was 95. you're only too old to do stuff if that's your belief, but personally i hink that as long as you are alive then it's never too late. sure you might have to make some adjustments for age but…

there are a few ways you can do it: divide the amount of calories per number of meals and eat the same amount each meal or you can choose 1 meals to have the majority of your calories and have the others be smaller. also with 1800 calories (plus your exercise calories if you are counting those) you dont need to worry about…

eggs, beans, lentils, pork, dairy.

i can't eat when i'm stressed, sad or angry. luckily for sanity that doesnt happen very often and doesnt last very long because i'm a problem solver not a problem wallower. For me what helps is getting a plan to solving the problems and working towards it. if it's an issue i can't esolve then allow myself a little time to…

if you have joint problems, HIIT would not be a good idea as it's supposed to be going at your all out sprint speed and effort. HIIT shouldnt be done unless you already have a good baseline of fitness and health why not add in more moderate intervals instead?

is it a matter of you completely giving up the foods you love? if so then why not try working those foods in to your caloriue goals?

agree with this. i've been both sides of the coin (fit, slim and athletic and 80-90pounds overweight) and quite honestly there hasn't been a difference. i think what happens is that when a lot of women gain weight they start acting like mousy, timid wounded baby birds and to make matters worse dress in frumpy non-…

sorry you're having such a tough time. just remember that confidence comes from within, not from a number on a scale or jean size. i know plenty of women (myself included) who are far bigger than you who have no problems finding guys who appreciate them and who are what other people would call "catches". just remember that…

dont worry about the target range, just go by your rate of perceived exertion.

I feel sorry for the tastebuds of anyone who likes the kraft mac. If I'm going with a non-homemade m&c it's either annie's for boxed or trader joe's for premade frozen.

this..

take a poop?

it happens. i gained back 30 pounds i lost because of stress (and of course sitting on my a$% and using pizza, happy hours and hot wings to "destress" :laugh: ). I have a coworker who i usedto have lunch wih regularly and we boh got so busy we didnt do ouher for about 3 months or even see each other (we work on different…

<--- this girl is on fiyaahhhh

yep. i find exercising the next day helps shorten the time I'm sore

dynamic stretching warm up sets with lower weights

according to my doctor the only real possible danger to aspartame is that it might trigger cravings for real sugar in some people. i drink diet soda and flavored water from cvs and whatever the brand they sell at lucky (m love the apricot peach) and i havent had any strange cravings for actual sugar with that said, i do…

i did the dirty girl last year and it's not very strenuous at all. it's fairly different than other mud runs i've done since it's pretty non competitive. there are different options for many of the climbing walls. although it isnt as strenuous as other mud runs, i'm glad it's the very first one i did. the second one i did…

so many rules... i dont think it's a big deal if you're both eating ribs/wings/corn on the cob/garlic. but then again i also kind of hate the idea of eating on the first few dates anyway because 1) it's boring and 2) how ae we supposed to get to know each other if we're too busy chewing, swallowing, etc?

i think it something to do with how evolutionary speaking our bodies havent changed much over thousands of years. part of the reason humans have survived is because we are adaptable enough to survive cycles of feast and famine . this is also apparently why we have a tendency to love sugary fatty foods : these foods dont…

swimming would be great, as is walking. go at your own pace and use those workouts to develop a baseline of fitness. after a few months, maybe look into a joining a gym where you can do things like leg press, chest press,lat pulldown and shoulder press.

yeah i think you'd look good bald

muffin top has more to do with wearing incorrect sizing or style bottoms for your body type more so than your size or weight. i'm around 50 pounds overweight, have a much larger belly than you and i almost never have muffin top.

low cal and low fat diets are depressing http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200304/the-risks-low-fat-diets

avocadoes and nuts are good, as is dairy, eggs and protein in general avoid low cal/diet options . and if all else fails have a burrito or ice cream or popeye's chicken :wink:

put veggies like spinach, kale, carrots, zucchini, cabbage in a food processor to chop up fine and add to meatloaf (if you eat meatloaf) also there's the just get over it factor. you can retrain your tastebuds

the no knees over the toes is a myth, for those us with long femurs and tibias it's impossible to get to a post parallel or ATG squat without knees going over toes

when i do air squats, i find holding my arms straight in front help with balance since i have the tendency to want to tip forward rather than sit down and back. if you feel like you're straining our back then you might be coming too far forward. tighten your core, concentrate on sitting down and back (almost like you're…
