im turning 27 in september. PANIC MODE...ACTIVATE!

you can replace the water with unsweetened tea or green tea--still counts! theres no calories. I find that Pre-ToM, i crave sweets and salty hardcore, especially chocolate and bready things. I made some chocolate banana ice cream by throwing 2 frozen bananas and some chocolate whey protein in the blender--its soft-serve…

if your knees are a problem spot, you can get in some cardio by doing punches until you get some weight off. its part of the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, and she specifically notes that people with lower body injuries should do punches. things that move your arms around--the windmills are great too! her whole workout is…

i accept all requests! you can never have too much support :)

im lazy and didnt read all the other posts so im not sure if anybody posted this yet. My parents did south beach a few years ago and one of the desserts is to just mix in a splash of vanilla extract into a serving of ricotta. its delicious! I dont see why you couldnt also do it with other flavors, or cinnamon, or cocoa…

I want to try this too! ive never used the cream cheese cooking stuff.

Jersey shore is still pretty much a wreck. Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant were hit pretty hard. most of the boardwalk was swept away. Cool thing to see in a morbidly curious way, but there wont be much clubbing. They say the shore will be open for the summer but i imagine it will be in a very limited fashion this year.…

First of all, anyone can friend me, i accept all the help i can get! and try to give it too I gained weight and cup sizes in less than 2 months on Yaz, and then it ceased immediatley when i switched to nuvaring. you may just have to play around with BCs to find one thats right for you--every person is different. Second,…

tell that to my gyno, and that 40 lbs and 2 cup sizes i gained in a month on Yaz. gain that stopped IMMEDIATELY when i switched to nuvaring. no change in eating or exercise habits--in fact i was probably exercising less after i switched bc football aka marching band season was over. not to mention how CRAY i was. you were…

When you are in NYC, head to times square and find the TKTS kiosk--half price broadway show tickets for day-of performances. OH, and pick up some cupcakes from Crumbs. I recommend a day trip to Philadelphia too--bolt bus tickets are pretty cheap. lots of great museums in both places too. You have to get cheesesteaks in…

I agree, love it when the Burg falls down. My coworker is a Pittsburgh fan and every time they win I ask her how the Pirates are doing :P

I take the gummy ones too--one time, i took a mulitvite pill in the am and was late getting my brekkie together at work, and i actually threw up from it. the gummies dont have that problem, i could skip breakfast (not recommended!) and not get sick.

i log every day, and anyone can add me! love to hear everyones stories and see all the successes! keep me on my toes!

you can add me! i update every day, and try to blog a couple times a week too.

Make sure you are eating enough--forum search for TDEE-20%, eating enough calories, etc, will find you a zillion threads. There are several different theories on this but basically you ned to make sure you are eating enough for your body to funciton. I've found it helpful to track my sodium macro, to watch how much water…

I accept all friend requests! i have a great support network of friends!

as the American child of an English immigrant...I miss Cadbury's drinking chocolate. so much better than the hot cocoa mixes available here.

FLYERS FAN!

I too would recommend following the professional advice. I have a coworke who is a dietitian, and from what I gather they recommend eating in the range of the maintenance calories for your goal weight, which may in fact be below your BMR/RMR/whatever. That being said, obviously not every method works for every person. you…

26! add away!

Theres a lot of free ones on youtube, including most of Jillian Michaels. I also like to go on my ondemand on my cable because they always have videos and they change regularly so they keep me guessing :) totally free !

im 26 and everyone thats under 25 seems ridiculously young to me.

i joined teh group today too, im in lansdale area.

Just joined the group, i live in montco, lansdale area.

My gym is my living room, and the most obnoxious person there is my cat. The little a-hole attacks my ponytail when im doing crunches and jumps on my arms and chews my hands when i do chest flies. then when im on my feet he either watches me, staring, until i go back down, or sits in front of the TV, or attempts to destroy…

I definitely agree with freezing them! A suggestion...if you wait to peel and freeze them until the peels are browning, they are sweeter. but i learned the hard way to peel them BEFORE you freeze them...

i want to save this info so i can research the suggestions when im done work!

I get the Target brand (market pantry) whey protein chocolate flavored powder. it was like 16 bucks for a giant tub.

I used to love a little ice cream with my prime time TV--now, if it was a workout day, i throw a frozen banana in the blender with some protein powder--just like ice cream, without all the added sugar and fat.

My sister has an eating disorder, but she wasnt born with it. She 'got' it after getting teased about being chunky, getting healthy by being fit, and then taking it too far. you can't CATCH an eating disorder, but you can sure as hell GET one.
