you should definitely do some weight training! or yoga. if you want to develop toned arms its important to do something to start building muscle

It is flirting to start, once the person is politely declined or given no vibes and continues to "flirt" it becomes creepy. Also creepiness can set in when a person uses inapporpriate body language and closeness for the level the two people know each other or social situation.

this is offensive

That is less of a self esteem issue and more of a positive reinforcement - positive direction issue. By using "run" in your instruction, you are psychologically implanting the word in the childs mind. Instead, give them the direction you actually want them to take and not the negative of what you dont want them to do. It…

your wife sees you every day it might be hard for her to see the results. sounds like there are some deeper issues here.

i really dont see how the occasional bite from someone elses food could ever add on "1000 calories easy" i guess it depends what sort of things you are trying out - but if you are keeping track of those little samples it shouldnt be a big deal. I don't think i could ever "accidently" tack on 1000 cals, unless it was via…

replace your snack with some water! staying hydrated will keep you alert and keep you from feeling hungry if you are really really hungry, get some snap peas, or steam up some edamame - make sure you put it in a bowl or something beside you in the portion you want to eat though! even if you are only eating veggies you can…

drink more water and get more fiber

portabello mushroom with tomatoe sauce and part skim mozarella - bake for about 20 mins and have a side of veggies (like steamed brussels sprouts?) you can add another topping if you want, but with just this its about 110 cals for the portopizza and around 35 for half a cup of brussels.. can't go wrong! another one i like…

for sore wrists: make sure your fingers are spread wide and you are dispersing your weight through your fingers and not the ball of your hand, this should take some pressure off your wrists for slipping: invest in a yoga mat towel, even in hot yoga where sweat is pouring off me i never slip hope that helps!

Bull****

no it is not your "maintenance" calories! its the amount of energy your body uses to stay alive, or what you would burn if you laid in bed all day. maintenance calories are how many calories you should be eating a day to maintain the weight you are at. if you always ate your bmr you would continue to lose weight.

eat low calorie foods that fill you up. instant oatmeal for breakfast (110-140 calories) try to find foods with high fiber and low calories so that you feel fuller longer. if you keep feeling hungry, have a little snack (i go with 1-2 almonds, and keep track). make sure to drink a ton of water. you are probably thirsty and…

If you think you are being abused, you are being abused. Trust your instincts, if it doesnt feel real it isn't! You deserve to be happy and if you arent happy with this man and you dont like his behavious its time to go. It won't get better and it won't go back to the way it was. You don't need any other reason than your…

portabello mushroom + 2 tsp pizza sauce + 1/4 c part-skim mozarella + 15 min @ 375 = low carb low cal mushroom pizza (~ 120 calories)

You can be compassionate and empathetic without ever being over weight. thats a pretty unfair statement.

quaker caramel corn rice cakes sugar snap peas (like 1.5 servings) a few almonds and a plum

At one time I would keep a chocolate bar in the fridge door and if I was really craving something sweet i would have one piece. I don't really have much cravings for sweet things anymore though.

some people definitely lose weight when eating less than 1200 cals a day. I certainly did, to the tune of 15 lbs. Why are people on here so judgemental?

If you are having trouble drinking water try drinking it luke warm. I found once I did that and just gulped it down really quickly, my water intake quadrupled.

I had so many problems with oral contraceptives. I ended up just getting a copper IUD. No hormones and no pregnancies. The initial pain was well worth it.
