I think Adele has an amazing voice and I love all her songs. She's not famous for her body; she's famous for her music. About her weight, I don't care really. The only body I really care about is my own and ummm my husband's :blushing: It's hard enough trying to concentrate on my own life and weight issues without trying…

I overestimate. It is better than underestimating and then going over calories for the day...

When I upped my extra virgin olive oil intake, I started losing inches right away! The weight stayed the same because my total calorie intake stayed the same, but the inches went away faster. Completely eliminating fat from my diet didn't really work for me... I used to be paranoid about using oil in my food, but I use it…

Corn flakes too. The serving size is ridiculously small and its too full of carbs. I used to eat about 1.5 cups of it with lots of 2% milk thinking it was fine!

Sauces for cooking! Even the simple ones like barbecue sauce or garlic sauce which I wanted to use for crockpot recipes are like 70-80 cals per tablespoon and 20-40% of daily sodium requirements! I want to eliminate the fat from cooking oils and extra ingredients like sauted onions, tomatoes etc., but this is probably…

I spend my "lady" days on the couch. Zero energy, zero motivation and zero food control. I also have really bad cramps and no amount of pain killers kills it... Another weird thing that happens with me is if I exercise or do anything strenuous for the first 3 "lady days", the number of "lady days" goes up to 8-9 days. That…

The way I see it, 2-3 cups of ANY fruit if substituted for a meal, is better for dieting. 2-3 cups of any fruit will be lower in cals than a 400-500 cal meal (although you will get no protein really). Substitute any fruits for a portion of your meal and you'll feel just as full. I like 4 berry smoothies I make at home.…

I'm Indian as well. I've been asked multiple times if I'm pregnant. I just can't seem to lose the belly fat. Everyone in my family except my dad is overweight. I don't think its genes, I think its too much food. I think the places in which fat accumulates on my body (all over proportionately thankfully!) and the tendency…

Thanks a ton for that link!

Very often! I'm a late night binge eater. So sleeping early to avoid eating is pretty normal for me. My late night snacks are NEVER healthy.
-
Yes. I operate under the rule "calories in, calories out." It doesn't matter what you eat as long as you stay within your calorie limit. It could be all fat or all protein. If you exercise worth 500 calories, you can eat 500 more 'clean or 'unclean' food. For me, eating clean is important because of my massive appetite. If…

Big sigh.... I hate the fact that there are so many rules for women and dos and don'ts and the constant pressure of trying to look good. It is so tiresome. No matter what you do and where you go, there is ALWAYS someone who will think something you're doing isn't correct/pretty/ladylike or whatever else.

I wear whatever is comfortable. my pants/shorts/capris are never tight anyway. I don't like the constricted feeling. Frankly even if they were, I wouldn't really give a s**t. I'm there to work out and that's that. The only time I do care is when I'm going out. Try wearing undies with lace edges. Those work for me better…

I went on a Caribbean vacation last week for 6 days. I think I look better AFTER the vacation although I did eat way more than usual and drank way more alcohol than usual. I stuck to eating fish, eggs and other seafood, lots of coconut water, lots of fresh veggies and fruits, about 8-10 mangoes per day (I love love love…

I don't have a cheat day either... If I'm craving pizza one day, I work out like mad that day so I can have 3-4 slices. I also pretty much eat whatever I feel like without denying myself any particular food as long as I stay under my calorie limit.

You're holding a super cute baby!

Actually the spots on your colonic walls are pretty hard to see. So I would suggest a master cleanse while in squatting position. Your colon will fall out and you can complete spot reduction easily with a brush without having to go in blind!
-
HAhahaha I know!!! I get an extra of whatever I'm eating so my husband doesn't start picking out bits and pieces of my favourite veggies/meat; he can do that with his own meal!
-
Yeah! Especially when they had that $5 Footlong promotion going on. Also, I put on a lot of weight during that time!

Amber was this psycho who was spamming the message boards till a day ago. She made some poor girl her target and wrote crap about her every 5 minutes on every thread...
-
Hahaha I thought Amber too at first! Stay away from canned products. The cans have Bisphenol A, unless of course they specifically say BPA free. Not only does this chemical mimic estrogen-like hormones, I recently read that it was found in multiple breast cancer tissue samples...
-
Actually I've noticed just the opposite. I always think they cut a little more than 6 inches! Also, I feel like the amount of meat slices they put have increased. They used to be measly about it and now suddenly there's too much meat.

I drink 2 tbsps of Metamucil (psyllium fibre) with 2 glasses of water everyday. It really helps!
-
We start the night spooning but somewhere along the night my husband piles his leg/arm onto me, hugs me tight enough to cut circulation and pushes his head into my neck. Then I get uncomfortable and push him till he turns the other way. In the morning though, after all the pushing around, he's on the edge of his side about…

I don't know about that article but I didn't lose any fat or weight when I was walking everyday for an hour and a half. When I started running everyday, not only did I burn 4 times the calories in less than an hour and saved time, I also starting losing weight a lot faster!
-
I would travel to and live in a new country every 6 months!!
-
Congrats!! I know how you're feeling... I bought my very first bikini last week but I don't know if I'll end up wearing it or not! My awesome NSV for today is I ran 23 minutes continuously on the treadmill for the very first time without feeling like I was about to die! The max I've ever been able to run is 4 minutes. I…

I feel sexy the whole time my husband is around me... This is silly but him finding me sexy makes me feel sexy.. :blushing:
