5'10 145. just like in my pic. ahhh the good old days. also <18% body fat which will probably be right around 145 as well.

that is a lot of protein powder. try to get some more "real" natural protein, yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs (egg whites are good if you don't want all the calories and fat). you can hide eggs in your shakes to! I'm all for protein powder, i go in phases of having shakes for breakfast and after training. If your not doing a…

i absolutely love my vibrams. regular running shoes have always hurt my feet, I have to komodo one, i use them for hiking (on very un-groomed trails) and as long as your don't stub your toe on a rock, they are just great. so much better for rough terrain b/c you can really feel the ground. I did get pretty bad blisters the…

If it's just muscle soreness from working out, work through it. it it's your back from your herniated disc... don't.

swimming is good. boxing you maybe have trouble, there is a lot of twisting and pivoting and lateral movement if your boxing properly. You could probably get away with a cardio kickboxing or cardio boxing workout. you should be doing squats and lunges and such to strengthen the muscles around the knee to help keep it…

injuries + pizza and icecream.

this seems strange to me. go see a doctor.

same here! my hubby can drop weight like it's going out of style. and it's not like he's got a tonne to lose, he's 6'0 and about 166. he'll get up to around 170, the decide to drop to 160, and it takes him... a week. it takes me months to do that!

It's all in finding the right size! I have about 8 pairs (i wear them under my gi pants to do jiu jitsu). some of the smaller ones the legs ride up, the properly fitting(larger) ones don't ride up. and if they don't ride up doing jiu jitsu, they aren't going to ride up doing anything! mine are reebok and mizuno. they fit…

super cute dress! and it fits great! but lose the belt, or find a white or one the same blue. the colour doesn't match your skin tonne amazingly, but i find bright colours don't match anyone quite right.

i usually call my self a fatass and ask "how the hell did you let yourself get to here?" though, lately it's been slightly less negative.

just my 2 cents: eating out isn't all bad, i eat out almost every day. sure, it's mostly salads and wraps, but it's still eating out. cooking at home isn't going to solve this if you don't cook right at home either :) eat less bread(and other carbs), more lean protien and keep an eye on your fat intake.

heh, nothing says casual friday like a tucked in shirt! :) Great work!

i aim for between 1200 and 1500. sometimes i eat back my calories, sometimes i don't. i'm not in a rush to lose the rest of my weight, so i'm taking my time.

hummus! i eat a cucumber or pepper and hummus for lunch sometimes. 1 or 2 tbsp isn't going to cut it for a meal!

very interesting! i think i'll start taking some vitamin D. I burn so easily i avoid the sun as much as possible, so getting enough naturally is hard, especially in the winter.

if the appointments were made before you got the job, they should probably have been brought up before you took the job. that being said, let the manager know ASAP. It's a summer job, they hired you to be there, for the summer. If you look at it that way, 6 days off, in 3 months of working, is almost 10% of the time.…

if level 2 is not working for you, go to level 3. that being said, your knees might not like that either.

yea, i get really really really weak for the first 2 days or so. it's terrible. I'm completely useless. I'm also pretty grumpy and anti-everything.

There are some good protien bars out there. costco sells 2 kinds around here that have more protien then carbs. they are good in a pinch when you don't have time for a proper breakfast, but will never be better then real food. Detour has some really tasty bars, and some of them have more protien then carbs. A lot of bars…

false false false you could have a flat stomach with out doing ab exercises, maybe, but a 6 pac needs abs and abs, like any other muscle, don't come from cardio. If your just "getting a bulky stomach" it's b/c your doing it wrong, or your body fat is hiding your 6 pac. Get rid of the fat and you'll find them. when i was 17…

first: boobs middle:abs last: thighs it's so freaking annoying. i'd be happy with my body right now if it wasn't for my butt/thighs, but nooo my boobs have to shrink more and more haha

me to, i haven't done the shred for a week :( i was feeling really worn out at the end of last week, to much shred and to much jiu jitsu, and i had a competition on the weekend so i needed to be well rested and not broken down. and i haven't gotten back into it since :(

my happy weight is 5lbs heavier then my goal. that's pretty close and i'll be honest, my body probably will be happer at 150 then 145.

some ppl say it's crazy, some don't but i think the craziest thing i've done is fought 3 mma fights.

kittie super heavy chick metal. brackish was there big hit in the 90's.

i'm pretty sure my gym has a policy against it and i would never workout in just a sports bra. a light baggy t-shirt, or moisture whicking top would keep you just as cool, if not cooler, without drawing attention to yourself and or distracting the other people at the gym ;)

i've made the mint chip, and chocolate peanut butter, sooooooo good!! you can get a super cheap (like 28 bucks) icecream maker at walmart. I find i have to hold the lid down on mine, which is a bit of a pita, but hey, for 28 bucks, i'll deal with it.

there was another thread about tall girls a few weeks ago. but i'll throw my 2 cents in. i'm 5;10, my goal is somewhere around 145, which is what i weighed in my profile pic. not ghastly skinny, but thin. me and my sister are only 1.5 inch apart height wise (she is 5'11.5 i'm 5'10) and she has a completely different frame…

Hey! we are already mfp friends, and i don't have a black berry, but i just wanted to add that, not having a good support system at home makes it really hard! i know where your coming from. When you want to eat healthy, and the family suggests going out for italian every time we get together for dinner or whatever. Cake at…
