Good one!

What? Big Calves? Is that from running? I find mine are getting bigger too! (I started running, I'm up to 30 straight minutes now!)

I say, as long as you don't do it every day, it should be fine. I mean... I eat burgers. I'll order a side of fries with my caesar salad wrap for lunch. Depriving yourself of EVERYTHING you like just sets you up to fail. A nibble here & there won't kill you... it's not about strictly avoiding everything. It's about…

15 months into our relationship here... closing in on 16 months, actually. He hasn't even said "I love you" yet. You're YOUNG. I'm 29. Be YOUNG for a while, & don't rush things. They'll happen when they'll happen, if they're going to happen. And if they don't happen, they aren't meant to happen.

That sounds like a fast-track to Anorexia, to me. I used to be Bulemic... I don't really recommend it. Was under a lot of stress at work, had too little time to eat... everything compounded till I couldn't keep food down for a few months. You should figure out your Lean Muscle Mass & eat JUST enough calories to sustain…

If you're in Canada, Herbal Magic has "Formula 36C", it's a hormone supplement that makes your body think you've just hit puberty again... makes the girls grow. Probably not back to your old size, but they DO firm up. I have friends that swear by the stuff. SIDE EFFECTS MY FRIENDS SUFFERED: Acne, increased TOM cramps,…

OMG ~ BEST shoes I've ever owned!

Really? Cardio isn't good for weight loss? When was the last time you people saw a FAT marathon runner? Reminds me of the arguement I had with my trainer last week about me being overweight & my fat percentage... HE said I had to lift weights 1hour a day 3days a week to lose weight, & "Cardio will never get [me] where want…

You know, I couldn't name a single song that this kid sings. Did anyone else notice his slip up about the "Sixteen Chapel"? OMG... "Education in America"... LOL!

Ok. I get PMS cravings too... I think it's because of how many calories we burn at this TOM. I'll say it, if no one else on this thread has yet... WILLPOWER. BUT... if that fails... & you're in Canada, I tend to pick up Thinsations Oreo cookies (100cal for one bag that has like, 30 mini-cookies in it) & that tends to cover…

Depends on what province you're going to be living in... we're a big country!

I think the program I did is different from yours.... www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Sometimes they need to be quoted. Edited to add: Nevermind.

BUMP!

Yep. Being a woman is often a gigantic cosmic joke. It's no surprise at all that we were invented by a man. Anyone notice that working out has made their flow heavier? OMG... Mine is much heavier... & a full day shorter!

Oh, some things make me crazy about the main page. The Highlighted Posts that bother me are: 1) "Rate the person above you" 2) "Answer only in Questions" 3) "iPhone or Android?" (isn't that something you should be asking on Facebook, not a nutrition site?) 4) "Is this photo airbrushed?" of impossibly skinny supermodels…

I've had that happen to me too... I think it depends on the time of day who sees it & when... there are a LOT of posts on here, & I've found that at certain times of the day, no one is reading them at all. I had a CRUMBY visit to the Personal Trainer at my gym, who basically told me "you're fat, & you can't do this" & I…

1) Ran for 25 minutes at 5.7 on the treadmill today! YAY me! 2) Didn't buy a chocolate bar while at work today, even though I had both the cash & the craving!

I love Chili when that happens! 1lb Lean Ground Beef/Turkey/Tofu 1 can Low Sodium Red Beans 1 Onion 1 can Campbell's Tomato, Basil & Oregano Condensed Soup 1 can Mushrooms (caps & stems) Chili Powder/Crushed Chilis to taste It makes 4 servings each of about 420 calories (with beef) I LOVE this recipe... I got it from my…

Oh! Did get one status update from a friend once. "Woke up this morning, & it started out great. Went to pee... & passed a kidney stone." Yeah... TMI buddy. TMI.

And... I think my mother... (who used to FREAK when people took photos of JUST food... the cake at parties, etc. without PEOPLE in them, because "that's not a real photo - a real photo tells a story, take a picture of who is going to EAT it/blow candles, etc.) just rolled over in her grave... Maybe because she raised me...…

I've been there! After my Mom died in 2005 I was in deep depression, put on weight, had insomnia & severe panic attacks. It was hard, but since then I've managed to get control, get OFF the medication :happy:. Since then I've lost about 20lbs, & I'm still going! Add me if you want... I know what it's like to be EXACTLY…

I just worked this out myself. Calculate how many calories you need per day to stay alive, your BMR. Use the link below to input your weight and the body fat % that you know, this will give you your LBM, Lean Body Mass. Then underneath, put in the weight you want to be, and 22% body fat, and you can see what you'll need to…

You & I are in the same boat, exactly! I'm a treadmill runner... I started my C25K at 5.5 on the treadmill. Now that I've just finished... I'm upping my speed every couple of days by 0.1. Now I'm definitely at 5.7, & going to push toward 6.3... because I think that's the speed that will have me at 5k in 30min. Edited to…

Wow. Just... Wow... How do you eat 6000 calories in a day without getting sick?

I've had Tendonitis in my shoulder. I just try to drink a *kitten*-Ton of Water. Well... that & a couple of Advil makes any workout better!

I'm addicted to fresh strawberries & blueberries. It's gotten really bad. I can't pass by them in the grocery store... I leave home JUST to go to the market to buy them... I think there should be a support group or something... maybe a Warning Label: "WARNING: Package contents can be highly addictive - please consume…

My mother taught in the public school system for 25 years. She could ALWAYS tell which kids were breastfed from their grades, attention spans, & number of sick days. She made a point of asking mothers with very intelligent children... & mothers whose kids had behavioural problems like ADD, ADHD, & those with a lot of time…

Wow. That's a lot of debate started by one box of Lawsuit-Starting "I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Cereal". MESSAGE FROM CANADA: We don't have Food Stamps. I actually never heard of Food Stamps before I got on this site. I believe in Food Stamps. As a Banker, I see tons of transaction histories on accounts right after social…

Bump!
