Well, I learned from my new friend's sister's boyfriend's cousin that you are supposed to eat back 5x the number of calories you burn when you exercise. So find something with 5 calories!! Actually, OP, you're looking pretty frail and thin -- better make it a milkshake ;)

By Christmas, I'd like to be at my goal body fat percentage -- only 2.5% left! Best of luck, everyone :)

Love it! There's a lot to be said for the value of a furry companion :)

Isn't that the truth! But, I should tell you that my dog is the best of the best, hands down :)

My graduation gift to myself -- my puppy :) Having a dog is not cheap but it's oh so worth it.

Someone better bring me a shrubbery.

http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/w_c/livingwithurban/coyote_brochure_v7_final.pdf This was a really interesting pdf (took like a minute to read) - try picking up some pepper spray - keep rocks in your pockets - if they get close enough, maintain eye contact - running sets off a coyote's chase instinct Myself, I would change the…

^^ all of this!

Well, if you're well hydrated, your urine will be light in color to clear (if you're super, super, super hydrated). As long as your urine isn't dark yellow, and you feel comfortable with drinking sweet tea - do it. I drink water (rather than sweetened beverages) because A. for all intents and purposes, water is free, B.…

I have a '98 Eggplant-colored Honda Accord. It gets incredible gas mileage, has leather seats (easy cleaning), and it has a sun roof for nice days. Also, I just had the sad realization that I share waaaay too much about myself in these message boards. haha.

The best thing about the city that I'm living in is its barbecue. Hands down, Memphis has better barbecue than any other city. Period.

Well, it doesn't work for today, but you might want to consider investing in a weighted hula hoop! They don't cost a whole lot -- I think mine was 30 plus shipping. But otherwise, try doing a basic circuit training routine -- jumping jacks, crunches, bicycle kicks, squats, push ups, etc. It might sound basic but if you do…

Hey there! A couple of suggestions... Since you've had other full time positions and enjoyed them, I would suggest getting out ASAP. Since you're tight on money, this is (most likely) going to require you to get a new job before you can ditch your current one. My best advice to you is to keep looking, even if that means…

Have you looked at oncewed.com? It's a blogging site chock full of DIY wedding stuff (think pinterest for weddings)... but the original purpose of the site was for women to sell their wedding dresses (hence, once wed) after they wear them. Most of these are designer dresses but there are quite a few handmade and vintage…

I'm not gonna lie... I read the title and thought this was going to be a troll thread. haha.

Sure! A drop of sweat, a drop of rainwater -- that has a 1 drop to 1 cup ratio. So be sure to log all 25 cups!!

I successfully gave up coffee four years ago. For the first two months, I dragged. I had withdrawal headaches every day for three weeks. But, thankfully, the withdrawal symptoms subsided. I was off of coffee for about six months. But I just got to a point where I needed to stay up late at night, and now that I'm in grad…

I weigh myself every couple of days -- always in the morning, always nude, always before water/breakfast/pills.

Honestly? Probably not even now, as I'm practically addicted to the site. And truthfully, if I'd stumbled across this site when I was just starting out and discovered it cost money? No thanks.

^^ This all depends on where you are. I just moved to Memphis which is notorious for having food deserts in areas around town. I live inside a food desert - that is, that the grocers who are closest to my apartment offer higher priced, lower quality foods and also offer a smaller selection of healthy foods. What does this…

I always, always, always log. Cheat days included :)

Thumbs down!

I'm using MFP for maintenance now. I tried to "test-drive" not logging a few meals, and I really struggled. Logging my food on MFP is just a great motivator for me :)

Mine is just a hair beyond 5" Edit: I'm 5'4 and 115 lbs

Heaviest: 149 (December '10) Lowest: 109 (March '12 .. my UGW was 105, then I decided I was too small) Goal Weight: 115 Current Weight: 115 (September '12) Now trying to cut inches and body fat :)

I love this taco bite recipe for gamedays and potlucks. It's not the healthiest but it beats pizza or a burger and fries :) If you serve five people with this recipe (four taco bites per serving), the basic nutritional info is 246 calories per serving; 17 carbs; 13 fat; 16 protein; 416 sodium; 1 sugar.…

bump. thanks for sharing!

I felt like a bada$$ today when I woke up at my goal weight for the second day in a row :)

Also, I'm thinking about going as Wonderwoman. I've got nothing on Lynda Carter's legs but so far, it's the best I've come up with :)
