I think u sound fabulous. Not a gross thing about you! I'll add you! :)

I totally get tape worm days. It's usually on a rest day after a couple of consecutive workout days. It's like the hungry (tapeworm) takes 24 hours to catch up with me or something. I just get voraciously hungry.

There are a lot of different things that can cause a woman to miss her period. Low weight/body fat is one of them, but don't stress... check with your doc, and hopefully things will be flowing smoothly again soon! Cheers!

Do a little Zumba.... those moves are designed to preserve bootyliciousness. My butt actually got bigger after I started teaching (in the good way).

I'm a big fan of juicing, but more as a supplement to a healthy (solid) diet. Juicing on a daily basis can really benefit you in the long term, but juice fasting doesn't really do anything weight loss-wise other than make you cut water weight. The weight always comes back on, even after a long fast. So get a juicer, try to…

The woes of being an athletic-type girl... I have big arms and legs - lots of muscle covered by fat. Broad shoulders AND broad hips. I am at peace with the fact that I'll never look "skinny," either. But knowing that I have lots of muscle makes me feel proud. True, it is hard and kind of disappointing when working out…

I find the whole obsession with milk in school lunches depressing. Who cares if the milk is lowfat or fat free, if it's full of sugar, hormones and artificial color/flavor? Natural milk already has a TON of sugars/carbs in it, anyway... perhaps not table/cane sugar, but lactose itself is a sugar. If you chill out on the…

You look phenomenal! Great job!

...Climbing the stairs to get out of the subway makes you black out ...Walking .5 mile to the train makes you hyperventilate ...Blowdrying your hair may as well be an arm workout ...you use inertia and gravevity to get yourself up from a chair, rather than any muscle group

Great alcohol alternatives: Kombucha! It has a nice "adult" taste, with health benefits and only 35 cal per serving CasCal fermented soda - no alcohol, but has an "adult taste" and 80-90 cal per bottle Iced hibiscus tea sangria - easy to make as "sun tea" with a few mint leaves thrown in. Pour over ice cubes spiked with…

That's what I was afraid of. :(

My mom used a similar analogy with me when i was about eight: I was complaining about weighing 70 lbs. She said, "Well, just be careful, or 70 lbs will become 80 and 80lbs will become 90..." That's where my fear of neverending, unstoppable weight gain came from. That story was told to me nearly twenty years ago. Please,…

Ohhh yes, I have had this happen. On weeks when I teach Zumba, I am RAVENOUS and need well over the extra 400 cals per day doing Zumba allows me. It makes me think that the estimate for Zumba is way low... I could wear a body bug or something to figure it out, but eh... I'm too lazy. This last week, we were on "break" from…

Almond milk is great. Also flax milk is excellent... it's a little fattier than almond, with a smoother texture.

Feel free to add me (this applies to any of you). I'm 27 and have about 20-30 lbs to lose.

I'm in, too! (Except for August 18 and August 26 - weddings.) Alcohol is not good for me... makes me binge and makes me depressed.

I, too, have giant calves. Giant. They've always been giant. When I'm heavier, they don't carry much fat, but are still giant; when I am thinner, they are still giant. I teach Zumba fitness, so that has made them even more giant. Any kind of leg exercise will bulk them if you have a tendency to put muscle on, like I do.…

I don't like BMI as an indicator of "healthiness," either. My fitness mentor, who teaches fitness 4+ hours per day, 6 days per week, has a BMI that falls in the "overweight" category. So do I, and I teach fitness 4 hours per week, exercise an additional 2-4 hours per week, walk everywhere, and eat like a rockstar. I think…

Sorry to strike fear in the hearts of men (and women) but I think Skinnygirl cocktails have around 38 calories per ounce, not per serving.

For those of you with a diagnosis of PCOS, did any of you have regular periods?

1/4 to 1/3 c almond or rice milk (depending on the mug I'm using) and 1/2 T agave nectar, or liquid stevia (about 4 drops). Unless it's Dark Matter coffee, in which case I drink it black, no sugar.

As a lady, ToM can also cause big fluctuations throughout the month... I gain usually 5-7 lbs during the day, and an additional 2-5 during ToM.

It has made my booty go from flat, wide, and squidgy to looking like it's being held up by duct tape! Butt lift!!!

Hi, I am new to this approach. I am currently transitioning in, with one serving of dairy and fruit per day, but I've cut out all the other necessary things... (Day 4 sans coffee! Yay!) I am curious to know what supplements (if any) you all are taking. Thanks.

i'm with you on the veggie bulking thing. I bulk almost everything I eat with spinach and/or broccoli. If I eat pasta, it's both. Great idea about the walking, though!! Now that the weather is nice, I'd like to start doing it too! Maybe we can have a walking phone date (since we're in the same time zone, right?)?
