Jesus! That's supposed to be a fat mannequin? What the hell am I then? A blimp?

Holy Crap! Ok... Maybe I'll give the antibiotics another couple of days....

So.... if I think I can... I can? I haven't been really "sick" in about 4 years now... & I only started running 3 years ago... so this is kind of new territory for me. Nothing respiratory... but my throat is KILLING ME!!!

Sorry... you're missing a word or two in your question... I can't figure out what you're asking. "... but would you..." "... but who would..." Are we talking sculped arms and legs? Cuz I have to admit, arms that closely resemble chicken wings aren't really my thing... I need a guy to have arms bigger than mine, thanks.

I hear that. My ex used to tangle his fingers in my hair when he slept... yeah... wake up at 3am needing to pee & have to detangle THAT mess while he's still playing with it!!! Grrrr..... :grumble:

I would have asked him if he found Marilyn Monroe attractive. She was a 10, by the way. And did anyone care if she could act? No. All they cared about was whether she was in focus.

I didn't. I measured how many calories I need in a day to sustain my LEAN body mass ONLY... and that is 1286. Therefore, I eat 1286 calories per day. If I exercise, I eat more, but I don't eat back all of my exercise calories, because that would negate all the work I'd just done. I lose on average 1-2lbs per week, which is…

"Common" sense? It should probably be renamed. It really isn't all that common anymore.

I'm sorry, I know it says no P90X, but P90X is AMAZING for guys... so is Insanity. But... it depends on his current fitness level... that one can kill you! Good luck!

I don't actually have a copy of it... but my driver's license was confiscated by a bartender for being fake. Ummm.... what underager makes themself THIRTY?? LOL It wasn't. My face was just a LOT thinner. Needless to say, I had my picture retaken for the replacement driver's license. Wish I had a copy of that picture to…

@ Crawford4398: I don't really swing that way... no offense. :laugh:

a) I call "shenanigans" on that one! I can run EVERY DAY & I run an hour at a time. b) What I did? I cut me speed to a jog... treadmill 5... & just ran for an hour. If you're in good cardiovascular health (I bike a lot), it's not a problem. And I have a heart murmur. I could do it. Now, I'm working on pulling my speed up…

Trying to be REALLY freaking patient. And NOT getting angry with yourself. That's a big one. And focusing on not putting any back on. That, for me, has been the hard part. I've been doing this for a few years now, & my start weight was 175lbs. My lowest weight since I started was 143lbs. That's about 3lbs away from my…

"Lifting's going to mess up your shoulder again". Context: I separated my shoulder in 1999. Left physiotherapy a member of the "3lb" club: able to lift 3lbs with my left arm again... told never to expect more out of it. Fast Forward 10 years... Yeah. Doing squats with a 40lbs barbell across my shoulders. Screw you,…

DO NOT go below the 1569, your body will FREAK & start storing fat. That's the problem... MFP doesn't take into account that EVERYONE is different. Prime example? Mine is 1287, because I work in an office, & sit on my butt all day every day.

@ Azure7: I kind of like the one you picked! But if it wasn't that one, maybe the one of you with the yellow hair clip? Very pretty!

FYI - I don't lift heavy either. I'm NOT afraid of the weight. I have a recognized medical condition and previous injury that seriously affects my range of motion. I'm NOT lifting something free-form that's going to injure myself. If I want to go heavier than I'm comfortable on a freeweight, I use a machine. That way, I…

Not just the ripped jeans! I want to buy SKINNY jeans for the first time EVER and not be ashamed to wear them in public! lol

Bahahaha! :laugh: No, seriously.... I've always loved children. But I don't think I could eat a whole one either. :wink:

You're here because you are/were overweight, right? Clearly, you KNOW how to get enough calories. If you deny yourself SMALL AMOUNTS of food you enjoy, you will eventually crack, & try to eat the world... or crack & fall off the wagon for months & months & put it all back on. So.... INDULGE. Moderately. It's all in the…

I'm not perfect either. I've got split ends like you wouldn't BELIEVE.

Her account is deactivated. No point in continuing to buoy up her spirits.

Girl, it's your body. Do what YOU want... and if your Doctor is trying to press weight loss surgery on you, then he's not a very good doctor. Excess skin surgery... THAT one I believe in, because it's not a quick way out. It's a reward. As far as quick ways out go... a coworker of mine had Gastric Bypass, & dropped weight…

Well, I'd LOVE :grumble: to be on a different dosage, but that's just not going to happen. This is actually the strongest BCP on the market in Canada... apparently necessary, because the next one down well.... let's just say that being a woman was a gigantic cosmic joke for 29 straight days instead of just 5. So that's…

WEIGHTS!!!!! Weights, weights, weights!!!!!

If you're already at 5k, then I'd do the "Bridge to 10k" program... tons of them online! I downloaded one with a Zombie theme... gives you cues about being chased by Zombies!!! HiLaRiOuS! Anyway... there are also some online that just give you times... that's cool too. It's how I got up to running 60mins. I'm going to…

I try to stick to low-calorie meals for breakfast & dinner... usually waffles & corn syrup with fruit, or fat-free yogurt with berries and granola. Lunches I alternate between sandwich wraps (usually tuna with ranch dressing instead of mayo), or chicken breast. Sometimes I'll have salads (caesar or garden) with fat free…

I actually didn't take that as "singling out bodybuilders" but she has a point. A bodybuilder's goals and eating patterns aren't generally in line with those of a woman trying to get lean and sculpt. They just aren't the same. While I'm sure the bodybuilder is likely to have really good advice about how to go about…

I gained 30lbs from Cipralex. I've peeled almost all of that off. Oh... & it took a WHILE for it to start coming off... don't be discouraged, just because it hasn't started coming off, doesn't mean it won't.

..... Temptation? Sorry. No. I like to remember that KFC is grease-ridden disgustingness. There's not a single SALAD on their menu that doesn't have a MAYONNAISE base either. Come on.... am I the only one pulling a WTF on that one? Their menu is DESIGNED to create fat people. Mashed potatoes... corn... HELLO?! What…
