Pickles and hard boiled eggs. Yep. And no, I'm not pregnant. Though I did have the urge to check....

Sounds just like my ex. We dated for two years, and he never told me he loved me. But he kept giving me "advice" on how to be a gym rat like him. And making comments on my food choices. As a fellow student, I know it's hard to juggle food, work, school, studying, projects, group work, family, boyfriend, friends.... and a…

^ This. And I just want to add... I'm a treadmill people-watcher. I have YET to see an "awkward moose" at a gym. What have I seen? 1) Determined, embarrassed women carry their hand weights up the stairs to exercise behind me on the mezzanine where men can't see them. 2) Elderly men SPRINT at 7.5 on a treadmill for 90s 3) A…

He's cute. I'd let him :wink:

I have the same problem with my shoulders. I went to a Chiropractor. :flowerforyou:

I'm part Native American. One of our most sacred ceremonies is the Strawberry Ceremony. If a girl/woman is on her period, she can sit in the circle, but cannot have a strawberry, as she is in the midst of what is considered another sacred ritual: that of creation. Am I embarrassed to sit in that circle and pass up a…

Yes, yes I do. I've run a 10k on my period. Ten minutes slower than usual... but I've run it. I have endometriosis (sorry if that's TMI) and it's actually right BEFORE my cycle that kills me. When it starts... it's kind of like... coming down from enormous discomfort. It still hurts but it feels... "better"? I like to run…

Breakfast I would suggest low calorie yogurt with lots of fruit: berries are great anti-oxidents and they're low calorie. Try turkey bacon (if you're not vegetarian) you can have 2 slices for the same calories as 1 slice of the regular stuff. But you'll need the protein to keep from getting hungry. I would suggest salads…

Have you been checked out for a heart murmor? I ask because I have one. And I run. And my HRM is sensitive enough to pick it up. According to my HRM my heart beats 210bpm when I run a 10 minute mile. In the danger zone for a stroke. According to my pulse, I'm at 140bpm. WAAAYYY in the safe zone. I still use my HRM but I…

That was what did it for me... pictures of me jumping on a trampoline at a family reunion. I really don't want to tell you how HUGE I looked. Even though I was still only 175lbs, which I understand is some people's goal weight. *sigh* It's different for everyone, I suppose, but it was heartbreaking for me.

My reply is usually... "Because I realized after two years in my last relationship that I didn't know whether he loved me. And I deserve way better than that. I don't want to settle in my life." A) it's true B) it's brief C) it's not TMI D) it subtly lets the other person know that you won't let them walk all over you.

Hey! I'm a treadmill kid, and I tend to burn about 780 calories in 70 minutes, running 6 miles, according to my HRM. I'm also probably carrying more weight than you are, since I'm 156lbs. I run about 3x per week, about 5-6 miles every time. Usually 45-60 minutes. On my off days, I tend to do other things, like housework,…

What KIND of craving is it? Chocolate? Chips? Candy? Because I buy the 100 calorie snack packs for my cravings. I get the 120 calorie chips packs, 100 calorie oreos and chocolate chip cookies, and 60 calorie puddings. That way, I CAN give in to my cravings, and feel like I'm still getting what I want. I mean, if I deprive…

DUDE! You lost a whole ME. Literally. I stepped on the scale this morning at 156lbs. Hey! If I climbed on your back, and stepped on the scale, you could be 420lbs again! :bigsmile: Wouldn't that be fun?
-
^ Wow. Just... wow. This reply is clearly a scathing indictment of the education system in this country, and its lack of focus on physical health and well being. I thought the articule was clear and concise. It was an interesting read. And it would make a great excuse for why I managed to put back on 10lbs. But I know that…

Sometimes in the state between asleep and awake, we'll still be dreaming... My doctor says it's a low level of sleep called "Level 1", where you can experience "Rational Dreams". I've had them, when I suffered insomnia. I could manage to make it into Level 1 sleep only, without actually losing consiousness. There are days…

I started using an OTC anti-perspirant called "Drysol"... I'm in Canada though. It's SERIOUSLY hardcore. I use it twice a week before bed, and I have ZERO ability to sweat under my arms anymore. Probably bad for me... but I don't sweat/smell anymore.

Mashed potatoes? So what?! I eat chocolate brownies. I eat corn on the cob. I eat chocolate pudding. You CAN'T deprive yourself of everything or you'll never make it. Tell them that you're trying to save up for a car or something... people understand rampant consumerism. They'll back off. And when they comment about your…

Try favour-shot water. It's helped a friend of mine. She uses MIO & Crystal Lite.

The classic black pencil skirt.

That's a really fun shot! Looks like you're enjoying your new lifestyle :happy: Congratulations!

I HATE being forced into things. But I have a decision coming up that I have to make... that's really a big one. It's kind of... do this, or .... DIE. No word of a lie. This could be my life. So... how do you wrap your head around a decision like this? How do you just DO what you're being told is best for you, without…

Have you tried dating sites? They introduce you to people outside of your normal circle of people. That's the surest way to broaden your horizons. That, and you'll be looking for someone among women looking for someone like you. Better odds.

I just try to throw water at it. Usually that stops the growling. It helps with the bloating too.

Because Aspartame can lead to cancer.

Open and friendly :)

My parents always just got me a block of iced cream. Now it's usually frozen yogurt.

Ok. I've posted this before... & I'll post it again. If it's salt/water gain, wake up in the morning & weigh yourself before you eat, but after restroom. Then eat, and go do your workout. C25k, or whatever it is you're going to do that day (preferably cardio) that's going to make you really sweat. Then get on the scale. If…

Well, I find Bermuda shorts cover up my cellulite. But so does a good tan! It's much harder to see when it's dark.

You know... this is really the only place where the phrase... "Starting insanity. Anyone want to start with me?" .... isn't a cue for people to start chasing you with giant butterfly nets. Or a cue for people to start thinking the local mental institution has bad padlocks. I really do love this site.
