yes we all have, its quite annoying. i just use the "Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist" option. seems a pretty accurate burn to me.

this site is the best thing to lose weight i have ever found. i can eat what i want as long as i track my food and make sure i dont go over my calories. THAT and the wonderfully supportive people here is whats keeping me on track (even though i slipped during the holidays, this is the first diet/exercise plan i've ever…

while i DO agree with accountant_boi, i dont think you dont have to stop eating instant oatmeal if thats all you have time for, just stop eating the flavored kinds. if you cant stand plain oatmeal adding your OWN flavors will make it not taste plain but you can also control how much sodium and sugar and such go in to it.…

i dont use it for depression since i'm not depressed but i DO use it for PMS (and other such random b*tchyness) and it works like a charm. its a great mood balancer.

it will probably shrink a little but since you said you dont have much fat in that area anyway, it shouldnt shrink too much. stretching and getting bigger is more what deforms a tattoo anyway.

this is what we do ALL THE TIME at my house. my dad eats meat, no one else in the house does. my mom and i are both trying to lose weight. there's nothing wrong with eating from different places or even eating a different meal than the rest of the people in the house. sometimes people think there is something wrong with…

like make him sleep on the couch tonight :laugh:

you have SUCH a right to be mad! sounds like he obviously doesnt care about your diet and it sounds like he's being a big ol' saboteur! and you know what happens to saboteurs? they get left behind. i like the idea of going by yourself, have some you time, get away from him for a bit. (and i dont think Charlie's idea is…

double agree! i dont want to be the only one without any bubbly at midnight (esp since we have my fave kind this year!). and there is no way i'm denying myself a millionaire's coffee (it has about four liquors in it XD) from our new years restaurant. specially since its closing for good on the 2nd T^T woe!

personally i dont trust a diet that tells me i cant eat HEALTHY carbs but i CAN eat a super fatty steak. and thats what atkins is. the guy who invented it died of a heart attack or something like that. its a bit of an imbalanced diet. that being said i know people who have SMARTLY gone on it and not eaten their cereal in…

i get a sweat allergy too. in highschool i had to prove that it was a real thing to my jerk of a PE teacher who wouldnt let me stop for just a minute to scratch my legs (he also later that year made me run until i puked and almost passed out. and i had told him i was going to. jerk.) topical antihistamines always worked…

thank you to everyone who managed to infer my question (even though i thought i was pretty damn clear what was confusing me). i do not have a chest strap, i find them ridiculously uncomfortable. its a watch style. i guess i'll have to measure during zumba....which is practically impossible because there's hardly any…

nuts are always good. or some crackers and cheese (i find the carb and protein together satisfy me quicker after a work out than other snacks)

i dont even know what a cuban sandwich is but i always love trying new things (and i'm a veg too!) i hope someone gives you a decent answer! :)

omg OR a daughter! that song is so sweet! it makes me cry!

that happened to me once in high school and it lasted for a whole week (with lots of throwing up involved) and i missed ALL of my finals (it sucked SO badly)! a REALLY bad flu that has settled in your inner ear can do that (thats what i had). but yeah go to a doctor. BUT HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DRIVE YOU!

i do Turkish belly dancing for weight loss and Tribal Fusion for fun. when i need a lighter work out i smoosh the two together (which is actually my favorite to do!) i'd take it up! Belly dance classes are always full of bigger girls and girls who think bigger girls are beautiful! its a very supporting community ^__^ (any…

i agree with megenj001. i was doing the same thing and going WAY over (like 1000 and more over my weekly goal) so i set mine a little higher, not a whole lot, but enough so that i had to keep up with the level i was working at to make it to my goal. worked like a charm and now i belly dance almost everyday!

1) your tattoo is SUPER cute! and 2) i LOVE the xmas lights one! you're so pretty!

"i have not failed, i've found 10,000 ways that dont work" - Benjamin Franklin this one always makes me feel better when i feel like i'm failing at everything. :)

hi fellow veg all your life! we're rare it seems! gonna friend you! ^__^

mmmhm and i've had friends before that have gone from FWB to more than that and also from FWB to just plain friends again. like i said, nothing against it, just not my thing. :)

as a note to this....some of us dont WANT something casual and would rather just rely on Mr.Batteries to do the job. i've got nothing against people who have friends with benefits at all, i just dont wanna do that, myself. and i know i'm not the only one.

i agree that it sounds like the machines are probably more accurate but it couldnt hurt to have an HRM as well. the thing about the HRMs on the machines is that they only read when you hold on to them and if you're anything like me you only hold on to the HRM part about half the time. but having the HRM on your wrist (or…

LOL! that was like my cat last night after i had grated the cheese for dinner and had i guess a bit left on my fingers and he just licked my fingers for a good straight 15 minutes!

amusingly enough the ad on the side of the screen while i was reading that was for the HCG diet. i lol'd. and the only person who i know who's been on the HCG diet 1) wasnt really over weight in the first place, she was more like average 2) is the kind of crazy vegan that rubs it in people's faces (i'm not dissing vegans,…

FABULOUS! i love that you just resized the skirt instead of giving it away because you look really cute in it! (and lots of perfectly healthy women have a tiny pudge on their stomach, its quite natural and is there because our bodies are made for makin' babies! lol) you look GORGEOUS!

muffins but i dont avoid them. i just find lower calorie recipes and i dont eat about 6 of them in a day like i used to. if i didnt have muffins and tea what would be the point of living? lol XD

from above pictures usually look the best. a slight angle makes you look more slimmed usually. and PS: i wanna seee! :wink:

do it do it do it! it'll be like being a pin up girl! fun! (and i'm suuuure he'll like it too :wink: )
