  • Breast slippage sounds like a bra fit issue. I wear balconette and plunge bras and I never slip out. As for fixes on deflated, pruny breasts, other than gaining weight back, there's not much you can do to fill the girls out again. Breasts are mammary tissue that are surrounded by adipose to protect the mammary glands. The…
  • Unpopular opinion: People are way too fricken sensitive. If she's constantly demoralizing you and bringing you down as a person, of course dump her. But dumping her because she said a possible truth? /rolls_eyes Doesn't change the fact that you still might have moobs, you'll just be -1 girlfriend.
  • Make an entry for yourself but don't make it available for the database. That's what I do for custom made orders from places such as chipotle, tijuana flats, etc.
  • I totally eat what I want and still lose weight. I've lost almost 60 lbs (from the start) this way. For example, I had chicken marsala with full fat mushroom cream sauce for lunch yesterday with my daily yogurt, a huge baked burrito, a beer, and my protein powder "cookie dough." My issue with weight gain before wasn't what…
  • If you aren't vegetarian, I love having beef jerky around. It's lean, has a lot of protein and it's quite tasty.
  • I just tried the cookies & cream today. Sooooo good. I also love chocolate chip cookie dough.
  • Don't be afraid of brastop. They have an awesome, awesome return policy for an overseas company. Also, your overall breast shape, whether you have shallow breasts, full on top, full on bottom, wide roots, narrow roots, etc, will determine how well a bra fits. Once you find your 'size', finding your shape is the next…
  • Because most women in the U.S. have no flippin clue their actual size. US bra manufacturer's are crap. I order ALL my bra's from Brastop online, which is a UK based company. Buying from there is still cheaper than one bra from a US specialty boutique. Seriously, these next links might be the best resources on the net:…
  • When I was at my highest, I was improperly measured by a VS employee at 38DD. I hated those bras. I'm now sitting at ~135 lbs, and I'm properly sized to 32E. I'm also full on bottom, so I can really only wear balconette bras and I can't just fill out the top of plunge or demi cups. My sister sizes are a 34DD or a 36C as…
  • I'm neutral about Nutella... I think it's good but it's number one ingredient is sugar followed by palm oil. I've made my own chocolate hazelnut spread and oh my word, was that delicious. It was definitely better than store bought Nutella.
  • I make room for it as beer is an intense passion/hobby of mine. I also homebrew and luckily Beersmith gives me an approximate calorie estimate for each bottle.

  • Great post because it really is all about finding motivation in yourself for yourself. I also agree with knowing who you should take advice from. For example, my husband has horrible mobility issues. He can't get deep enough in the squat due to lack of ankle and hip mobility, he can't get into correct starting form for…
  • Greek yogurt protein pancakes. They take ~10 minutes to ship up. Tuna salad Eggs Chicken with peppers, onions, black beans and rice.
  • I make my own kefir and it's quite possibly the easiest thing to do. If you have dairy issues, although milk kefir is supposed to be 99.9% lactose free as all the bacteria and yeast eat the lactose, there is such thing as water kefir. As plain water has nothing to feed the kefir grains, you can feed them with sugar water,…
  • Congrats on your success! I also have digestive problems where I'll get severe nausea, painful bloating and general pain (usually on the left side), as well as wild swings from horrible diarrhea where I thought that I wasn't going to make it to the toilet to horrible constipation. I have tried elimination diets and have…
  • I never knew this was a 'problem', just a natural part of anatomy. I've never seen anyone without one and frankly, I think they're really attractive.
  • I also drink black coffee and have taught myself to enjoy it. Adding just a dash of cinnamon makes it that much better. I used to be a huge flavored creamer person but now that I drink coffee black, when I add creamer or sugar it totally detracts from the coffee. When I made the transition from sweetened with cream to…
  • Your warm up sets to your working sets are your warm up, no real need to do anything else. If you HAVE to do something, 5 minutes light cardio (bike, elliptical, rowing machine) is all you really need. Also, use warmupreps.com to determine the weight to use for each warm up set.
  • I absolutely adore kefir. Like, have a serious love for it and have only just started making my own. At $4 a quart in the supermarket, making my own is far more affordable. I have severe IBS that is triggered by certain foods and I was taking probiotics every day with minimal success. Since I have started drinking kefir (I…
  • If the serving size on the bottle reads 30g and not 30 mL, then you are fine, you did it right. :)
  • If you have a smart phone, try the app "You are your own gym," and it is based off of Mark Lauren's book by the same name. It's a phenomenal BW program for people of all skill levels and for those who don't have the resources to join a gym.
  • Nothing but my panties. I hate wearing shirts/pants or anything else that could strangle me in my sleep.
  • Try getting fitted properly. Nordstrom's usually has well educated women who will fit you with a bra. Plus, 85% of women are wearing the wrong sized bra. I'm a 32DD. All cup size has to do with is the inch difference between your underbust and your bust. So, a woman with measurements 28" underbust and a 29" bust would be a…
  • I'm also a leftover person. Today I have flank steak stir fry with red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli over brown rice. Oh, and 2% plain Fage yogurt. Yesterday was possibly the biggest salad ever with roasted sweet potato, 150 g of chicken, avocado, nuts. The day before was my mojo chicken dish. 200 g chicken, seasoned black…
  • Golden delicious, fuji and honeycrisp, gala, braeburn... Oh what the heck am I saying, I fricken love apples. Probably my favorite fruit. My coworkers make fun of me because of it.
  • I find the biggest issue with increasing endurance is breath management. Most people are upper chest breathers and this causes fatigue. Then this spirals into your breaths becoming increasingly more shallow and inefficient and you tire that much faster You need to learn to pull your breath from your diaphragm and into your…
  • Biggest: Dinner. I easily eat 1000 calories around dinner time. Though sometimes dinner is split in to pre workout and post workout mini meals. O-o Smallest: Lunch/Breakfast: This is usually 400-600 calories.
  • Batch cooking and I do it on a weekly basis instead of a monthly basis Here's how I do it: Budget out my meals and ingredients. I try and make sure that every meal I cook has leftovers for my husband and I so we can eat it for lunch the next day. Shopping on Saturday Mise en place Sunday. This means that I prep and weigh…
  • Ha, wow, what a ****ty study. It's no wonder they had to get published in Nutrition & Metabolism instead of a journal with a higher impact factor.
  • Thanks!
