my way each serving is only 736 calories :D ****ing score :D

Much easier way of hard-boiling eggs..... Put a single layer of (a bit older) eggs in a pot of cold water filled an inch over the them. I also put some vinegar in the pot. Bring to a boil. Hard boil for ONE minute. Then remove from heat and cover. Let them sit for 20 minutes. Then put them in ice water and cool completely.…

Great job.... your legs are fantastic!

daaaaaaaaamn you look awesome! :wink: That must have taken a lot of work, great job sticking to it!

Eat what you want.... BUT what BOGGLES my mind is when people try to find excuses to EAT LESS :indifferent: When my weight loss stalled, I immediately thought about eating more :laugh: ALSO, read this http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-fat-trap.html?pagewanted=all yeah its not proven (nothing in…

I've also made steel cut oats beforehand and had enough for 5 days, stored in the fridge. I just add some milk/water and microwave until its hot enough for me :smile: tastes the same, or even better because if you flavored it before it allows the flavor to soak in. If you add extra liquid when cooking, and then put in the…

When I was doing college track (3 hours/practice 5x/week) I thought I'd also restrict my calories to 1200. I didn't lose even a pound :frown: My coach told me about a month later that I should be eating 3500 per day to support my training (this was so I wouldn't lose weight, just gain muscle). I ate between 2800-3300 per…

I want to get to 21-22% body fat, so that would be about 148-150 :) I'm currently between 156-159-ish depending on the day... I remember I was 140 in 7th grade and I weighed like 25 lbs more than all my friends:laugh: but I was never "fat"... I just must have a lot of muscle lol. According to my measurements (and using the…

I know that feeling! Today was weigh in but I didn't lose any :grumble: bit of a gain too, and I end up eating a lot for dinner :noway: .... I think I'm going to post next week (when I post for the May bikini challenge) but I don't feel ready to. I DO have pictures from January 2 though :laugh: I'm only 5 lbs lighter now…

:smile: good progress! If you don't want to eat all your exercise calories back, then I will say keep your exercise down (don't try to burn 500+ calories).... so good job on that today :smile: Get used to eating this much or more. And we'll be here for support :flowerforyou:

Yeah but you have a sexy body now :wink: so love it and keep working! :flowerforyou:

I completely missed your pics! But I did go back and find them. :happy: You look like you are right on track! You have a body like mine, even when we carry weight we never really have those "rolls" and everything just looks smooth and curvy. You look like you've made awesome progress, and have muscle as well. How much more…

Yeah its pretty hard haha but I love food, and I eat every few hours and its awesome lol Yeah, definitely increase your calories, and decrease your exercise for the time being... just give your body a break and give it time to repair your muscles and all that :) When you can think clearly, focus on schoolwork (remember,…

Yeah I started at 1200 but I did NOT want to lower because I just love food. So I kept increasing... funny how different minds work :ohwell: I'm eating between 2000-2350 cals per day, exercising 5-6 times a week (this is without eating calories back, counting exercise calories is just too different per person). Also, my…

I think you probably don't see a lot of change in the mirror because you're eating too little and your body is grabbing your muscle as fuel because its way easier to breakdown into glucose than fats. So you are losing WEIGHT but its probably muscle, your fat is still the same. And since muscle is more compact than fat, you…

I actually just started a job at McDonald's and was prepared to be grossed out (I trained for three days in the grill area) but I actually would TOTALLY eat there still :laugh: At least in that McDonald's, we're constantly making new stuff... its more sanitary and fresh than food I enjoy at home lol

:smile: I think your body is fine, not too much jiggle that I can see, but I know how it feels. I think HIIT would do AMAZING things for your body. I recommend Bodyrock.tv. The main host is also very thin (naturally one of those people that is stick thin) but she has worked hard to build muscle and I think that would be…

Cool Whip... I can stay away, but if its open, I dip my finger in. And I love it frozen.... I can eat and eat and eat it but ALWAYS feel sick afterwards. I haven't really had some for a few months though :happy: OH and ice cream :happy: but again, I can stay away and not eat it if its in the freezer, but if I am scooping…

well I would try to stick to healthier foods if I was you :laugh: whole grain breads, meats, cheeses, yogurts. There is PLENTY of food out there other than veggies :smile: You will need to add foods, and look at your protein/carb/fat ratio and add foods that will get you to those goals as well as just calories.

Nuts (peanuts, almonds, cashews [my favorite!], add walnuts/pecans to oatmeal/yogurt) avocado (in sandwiches, shakes) Eat full fat yogurt, milk, cream cheese instead of fat free Granolas (or make your own from a recipe online) hope that helps :)

Read this pleaaaaase: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-fat-trap.html?pagewanted=all I learned a little about this in Anatomy&Physiology but this has a lot of good information. Yes, a lot of it is from studies that need to be replicated to be "proven" but a LOT of it makes sense. I didn't read the…

Something like "The Top" because a top can be a name for a hat and it kind of hints that you're the best haha :tongue: ok I'll shut up lol I always did suck at creative things :frown:

I also had a question... since January my period has been irregular and extremely light. First it was just spotting, then about two weeks early and spotting, then it was about a week late and not even spotting, I just saw a tiny bit of blood when wiping a few times. I can't be pregnant :embarassed: and I don't really know…

I just throw in whatever I have :tongue: So take your blender, throw in the kiwi and a bunch of spinach, then, add liquid (water or juice so something lighter, milk for a creamier flavor)... then add a sweetener (whatever you want, sugar, honey, agave, splenda, stevia). I usually add extra liquid and a bunch of ice so it…

By "Total Body" do you actually just mean bowels? Because actual cleanses, like liver, spleen, kidney, gallbladder detoxes are all pretty intense. My mom has substituted trying to actually lose weight with just "detoxing" which doesn't work because she ends up just going back to the same behaviors. If you actually are…

"If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin' at my pad, I'd go grind over there, so dont tax my gig so hard-core cruster. " I swear I almost peed myself laughing because I couldn't even understand anything he was saying :laugh: Also almost anything…

Continue to eat more. Your body NEEDS and DESERVES that fuel. I know it may be hard to consume that much, but really try to fit in all you allowed calories plus exercise calories for the day. Some people's struggle is that it is extremely difficult to eat less, and are called lazy if they can't. Some, like you, have the…

it really depends on your fast versus slow twitch muscle fibers. A lot of it is genetic, you're born with more of one type than the other. Slow twitch muscle fibers use oxygen to generate energy and are typically for endurance, while fast-twitch ones are typically for short bursts and tired quickly (look at a marathoner…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: omg this is my sister!!!

Do you buy things like flour, rice, beans and lentils in bulk? We buy 50 lb bags of flour (I have no idea how much they are, my parents buy everything) and they last for a long time. Same with the other things... Your cost may be up this month, but I think in the long run it will save you money? Just something to think…
