OMG. I just read through this whole thing and didn't realize how old it was until someone pointed it out. I just have to laugh at the new gifs added today once it was bumped back up. I love you guys.

I don't think I'm strong enough for pistol squats just yet. But I am going to try the chair pose. :)

Holy crap! My work computer's filter actually let me go to this site. I think I have a new go-to site for these slooooow nights. Thanks. :)

Hack squats?

This.

I like the bike suggestion. Thanks :)

My goals are to just have shaplier legs. I like to cycle, but only for fun, not for training or anything like that.

My husband will LOVE you for this suggestion (as long as I forward him a copy.) ;) But I will do that. I can say that when I do squats, my right leg likes to turn in, though as long as I'm conscious of it, I can control it. *** edited to put the CORRECT leg in.

Didn't read everything else yet, so sorry if this is a repeat, but I have a MyFitnessPal-specific suggestion: go through these forums and add people that seem friendly, knowledgeable, and/or supportive. I have found INCREDIBLE motivation and inspiration through my MFP friends.

I think I'll make an appointment. I think what Dunsirn is talking about is some chiropractors who claim they can use the practice to cure the common cold or mental issues. Back when I was in college, I took a pseudoscience class that discussed that branch of chiropractics, but the studies did make sure to point out that…

Wow. I hadn't even thought about it being that sort of issue. I was thinking it was something to do with strength training! Thanks for the tips!

Also look into ways to control your thoughts. The fact that you're dreading your weekends because you KNOW you're going to binge is what's causing you to binge. It's self-fulfilling prophecy. You're shifting the power away from yourself, which makes you feel like it's out of your control. But it IS in your control. As you…

The people at my gym would knock the teeth out of anyone making those kinds of comments about another member. Are you in a position that you could change gyms? You're right about the appetite suppressant. Sorry, I didn't even take your original disorder into account. I really hope you can get some control over this…

There's no easy way out of this, unfortunately. I am also a compulsive over-eater. And, while I've been keeping it at bay for years now with strong self-awareness and self-talk, I occassionally binge. After a binge, I find myself severely restricting my diet for the next 2 days (at like 700-800 calories.) I know that's not…

Hilarious!

I would give to Shriners Children Hospitals (they gave me several free surgeries as a child) and St Judes. Then I also would open my own animal sanctuary. I would buy my mom a house and pay off my parent-in-laws' house. and put aside funds for my 4 god-daughters and 2 nephews for college. Then I would buy a nice house in…

I actually have a recipe for some low-cal, low carb barbecue sauce at home. I'm at work currently. So I'll post it on here when I get home this morning. You'll love it.

Ain't that the truth! My last upper-body workout included dumbbell bench presses. And you know what? *kitten* those!

Yeah, I'm doing keto and I love it. I still have a stomach and thighs, but finally am starting to notice they're shrinking ever so slowly. I think it's just weightloss's thing.

Are you doing a keto diet?

A slow-cooker will be your best friend. Make whatever kind of sauce you're craving and drop some chicken breasts in, on high for 1-2 hours, or medium for 4-5 hours. Last week, I made a sesame sauce. So good!

Feel free to add me. I've had success in the past with Weight Watchers, by the way, because I've never had a good nutrion role model either. I don't do their program anymore, but it's a good place to start. And I don't mean the on-line thing. It sounds to me like you need face-to-face support. And that is what they provide…

YES! Thank you. I hate when you know the word, but it just won't come out.

You just 100% described my situation.

Is your gym one of those 24 hour gyms? I used to go to one of those, and they didn't have "free" barbells because there was no one there at night to make sure we didn't kill ourselves with them, so they couldn't get insurance if they had them. We did have one of those rack-things, where the barbell is on a track. Not sure…

:noway: Holy crap. I just read this whole thread and... holy crap.

Okay. I'm in so I have this bookmarked before they lock this thread. There's actually some really cool links on the first page I'd like to check out after work. :happy:

I laughed at this sentence more than I should have.

Just quoting this to try out... can't write it down currently. :) Sounds tasty! Also this one: Healthy Pumpkin Pie Custard - Low Carb & Gluten Free Ingredients 1 can (15 ounce) pure pumpkin (I like Libby's) 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk 4 beaten eggs (room temperature works best so the whites…

It's not 1,000 calories, but add this to your day: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/862742-bulletproof-coffee?hl=bulletproof+coffee (I would add sweetener, personally.)
