I recommend watching the doc Bigger, Faster, Stronger. It is all about steroids and enhancement, and weighs on wether it is cheating or not. As long as you are going by the rules, it is not cheating. Example: There are ways to increase the amount of oxygen in your blood, but only 2 are legal in sports. Tiger Woods had…

It is my determination to stay thin that keeps me in this lifestyle. Yeah, I have terrible self esteem now, and only have 10 pounds to lose, not 30+. But I'd rather be skinny than hate myself than fat. I do induldge in a snack now and then, part of my 'meal plan' is to have one snack a day. Usually like chocolate or…

Generally, the first place you lose is the last place you gained. I had a chart. Usually the first place you will lose is your face. Boobs and the pooch are the first and last that usually gain the weight, and thats why they are the hardest to get rid of.

I wear Merrell barefoot running shoes, the mary jane style. So comfy, but I've noticed I'm starting to get weird blisters under my toenails.

The Adirondacks are beautiful! I am from Buffalo, and I've gotten people that think I must be from NYC also....total opposite end of the state! NYC is big, but still just a city. I guess people assume that I am so used to large amounts of snow. But I am always cold even in the summer!

I was considering a fitbit, but also want a HRM. I found this at bestbuy, the Adidas MiCoach http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Adidas+-+miCoach+Pacer+Bundle/3648095.p?id=1218424165914&skuId=3648095&st=micoach&cp=1&lp=2 it has a pacer, hrm, and stride sensor..also the Motorola Actv…

Sounds more pleasant than taking these Colon Cleanse supplements I am taking. You're supposed to take 8 a day, 4 in the AM, 4 in the PM, and if one of the fiber ones touches your tongue it tastes like alfalfa, and hay. Alfalfa is actually on the ingredient list. It triggers my gag reflex, so I'm throwing back pills twice a…

this. i have also haven't been planning my wedding since i was 5! to me there is no point really. i was married, well still technically i suppose, for 4 years. we mutually agreed it wasn't working out, there was no real big fights. i have been dating during the seperation, and i think he'd like to marry me, but i don't…

Whoooo cares. Are you gonna go off why the busy traffic going to and from work in the morning and afternoon shouldn't be called 'rush hour'?

i swear, some people have such thin skin and get offended by everything. i used my age as an example, that i have something wrong with my reproductive sysytem NOW and found out. if you are 35+ you are dealing with decreased fertility AND whatever issues you have that may interfere. If you find out if your chances at being…

bmr-1,219 i dont usually have a 'goal' but i am for 800-1000. high days are around 1200.

People only question it because there is PROOF that risk for the child being born with handicaps and problems for the mother getting pregnant at that age. She only meant that if you try a little earlier, and you have difficulties, they have time to figure out whats wrong before your fertility goes down. I'm only 23 and my…

I think growing up and going to school, their friends will probably tell them and they can figure it out on their own. My parents never had 'the talk' with me about fictional holiday characters not being real.

My scale is nice, but weird. When I step on every morning, it'll read the weight I was the previous morning. So what I do is lift the basket where I keep my face wash, toothpaste, and stuff and weight myself with that to reset it. Then I re-weigh and it gives me a more accurate count. Also, try moving it around on a tile…

Uhh, yes you can. I am dealing with an eating disorder, I exercising and eating only about 800 calories a day, sometimes less, then my net would be around 300-400 calories a day. I am getting better, I eat around 1200 now, but with net calories its still 500-800 calories. I lost 7 pounds (from 112 to 105) and when I…

they are called tag chasers, and they are still a needy group of women!

going INTO the military and a guy being already in the military are 2 different things. i think girls think of boot camp and tech school as being away for ever, when really its like ~6 months. a lot of times usually either party will break it off because it is too much time apart. then once they are already in, they will…

This. saltines, soup. I don't drink pop, but I only will drink sprite, or preferably ginger ale when i'm sick. I think the bubbles help loosen up the mucous and eases my throat a little.

pot lucks usually have pretty bad food anyway (looking/tasting), how about bring a dish like vegetables or salad, or maybe little sandwiches you know you can eat.

as far as the cheesecake topping you could probably make it with 0% fat greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder and cottage cheese and it'll be better, more protein.

you could probably lower it even more and cut out the oil and substitute apple sauce.

Oh no, they are horrible too. I've gone down like 3 pant sizes. Size 2 now and still hate the way I look, the scale is just another reminder of my failure.

Because it determines my mood for the rest of the day.

i didn't mean that rhythm=weight i meant weight=self consciousness. i'm size 2 i can't walk around in a bikini or shorts with out feeling like i'm getting nasty stares.

5'3" cw 108 gw 100

I've been to a few classes. I stopped going because I have no rhythm and feel self conscious. I have no idea how the bigger girls that go do it. Other than that, I did think it helps burn fat.

This is what has happened to me. I can't eat 1000+cal on a normal basis or I will gain a lot of weight. My set intake is 800 cal, although I usually eat a bit more, but exercise to negate them every day. I don't mind restricting though. I have never felt like binging because I feel deprived, and the most I've gained back…

In through my nose twice, out through my mouth twice. The air is warmed up by the time it reaches my lungs, and it helps me keep pace.

Exactly! Thats what matters. I can run a 5k in just under 30 min, why shouldn't that count. Now I wouldn't count say, walking to and from my car to a store, but walking around in the mall at a leisurely pace for 2-3 hours, YES I will log it. Unloading the dishwasher or a quick vacuum? No, but if I'm cleaning lots, over 15…

Even if I don't throw up, I always weigh less the next morning after a night of drinking. And I definitely crave bread and greasy food, especially burgers and fries to cure my hangover.
