Ahhh, I'm reading Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen :)))) I love this book! It never fails to make me laugh...and I've read it over ten times! It's about a woman whose husband throws her off a cruise ship (literally) and essentially how she gets back at him for it after surviving the time at sea. She's rescued by a hermit and his…

Oven fries made with olive oil spray or Pam are great :) just cut small potatoes into wedges, spray and season, then pop them into an oven at 350 until tender. Turn once to get crispy edges. With garlic powder and a little salt and pepper, they're killer! Getting sugar-free ketchup and other healthy condiments are a great…

I've tried juice fasting, but personally, I prefer tea and water fasting. It makes my body feel tons better...I always freak out about the added sugars in juice, so water and tea work best for me :)

I always eat something healthy (like strawberries) along with something "indulgent" (like a few pieces of good chocolate) before going out to shop for food. It keeps me on track, and makes sure I stay as far away from the "bad" aisles in the grocery store :) I also always write up my grocery lists and weekly menus after…

Getting a bikini with the "scrunch-butt" option can make your backside look way better. You can go to Ujena.com, FlirtCatalog.com or Bikini.com to find them :) the way they ruche it keeps your bum looking shapely and keeps the bikini from sagging when you get out of the water.

You were *hoping* to find out if you're allergic to something? That seems twisted, to me.

You know, I don't think it really matters how a person dresses, as long as they aren't wearing stained or dirty clothing. There's a ritzy place called Daniel's Broiler here in Seattle, and my mom and I used to go for lunch and supper there quite often. One day, I noticed that a lot of the people there were dressed up…

Hahaha, this comic is relevant: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/gym

Hm, 10% for a one-night thing, but 14% for a longer sort of relaysh. I like them to be a bit more muscular than the 14% guy is, but with no cut-out definition of abs and obliques. Like...Goran Visnjic in Spartacus :)

I like just colder than room temp, with cucumber and lemon slices :)

I pretty much eat whatever seems right at the time, but I've severely limited my added sugars intake. I cook using less oil, exercise when I have the time, and eat when I'm hungry. I fill up mostly on large amounts of low-calorie vegetables (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, spinach, etc) and garnish with meats (chicken, lean…

I love a mixture of hot sauce, steak sauce and barbecue sauce on my steaks (with just a hint of chipotle peppers.) Lately, I've been adoring hot sauce and cream cheese on celery sticks... Pretty much, I could eat hot sauce with anything, honestly. My favorite of all time, though, are extra-salted (possibly seasoned) french…

I've always liked listening to people tell me that "eating before bedtime will make you gain weight!" This isn't a food myth, per se, but I think it's ridiculous when people start spouting that "if you don't eat for four hours, your metabolism slows and you'll get fat!"

I am IN LOVE WITH this website :) It's so fun, and Katie is such a sweetie! <333

I love stirring about a tablespoon of preserves or jam into it :) it makes it a sweet, creamy treat. On the other hand, when I want something salty, I mix in some onion soup mix and dip cauliflower and celery into it.

Honestly, when I go out to eat, I'm not looking for healthy. Yes, I make sure it fits into my calorie limit for the day, but if I wanted a salad and some grilled chicken breast, I'd stay home. When I go out, I want fries, or pasta, or burgers, or shakes. I'm not looking for healthy...I'm looking for delicious, because I…

You might just have to change it up...maybe try bumping your calories up to 2000 for a few days, then drop it back to 1500? Sometimes, when I'm a little stuck, I drink more water (twice what I normally do) and eat at least 50% more for a few days (stay away from sodium, though.) Then, when I drop back, I shed the pounds…

I'm going to... -get a tummy button piercing -dermal anchors in the small dips of my back -bikinis, bikinis, bikinis! -I want to have an entire closet full of lingerie and heels -I'm going out to celebrate with boozin' and buffalo wings (yes, I know food shouldn't be a reward. No, that isn't going to stop me) I'm going to…

I really love lettuce wraps too :) often, I'll saute a chicken breast with spices (basil, lemon juice and pepper is my favorite!) and then wrap it up in lettuce with tomato, cucumber, onion and, sometimes, avocado. Boom, a healthy, happy sandwich for under two hundred calories. Adding a little barbecue sauce, hot sauce, or…

It really depends on what the food is, for me, and whether or not I'm in craving mode. If I just want two chips with onion dip and I'm in a fine mood, sure. Two chips with onion dip while I'm having a craving attack? Hahahaha, noooope. Sweets are my Achilles heel...so we've taken to keeping as few in the house as possible.

It might not even be that your breasts have grown...just that the rest of you has shrunk. Bra cup sizes are determined by the difference between your band size and the size of your, um, assets. So, if you were a 40-D before (38-40 inches around, with your boobs about four inches larger around than your band) and you only…

Haha, my girlfriend constantly gripes at me about leaving bottles of nail lacquer around. I keep complaining to her that her shoes are overflowing the shelf and that she needs fewer pairs of boots. I think the only thing we really agree on is that, since I cook and clean the kitchen, she can clean the bathroom and kill the…

Honestly, I just prefer to not eat a morning meal. Sometimes I will, but if I do, I keep it very light, and end up eating more protein later on to keep from shoving bread or chocolate into my mouth. I agree that the metabolism thing about eating breakfast is a myth...calories are calories, and your metabolism is all about…

Well...I'm having this issue too. You see, my girlfriend prefers me with few-to-no tattoos or deviant piercings...and there are a few I'd like to get (tummy button piercing, dermal anchors on my back.) So....what I'll probably do is get them pierced, give it a year, and then, if she still hates them, take them out. Easy as…

We're forever picking up more lettuce and chicken breast. That's pretty much the staple food groups. Aside from that, we usually get: -swai (frozen) -fruit of some sort (usually watermelon) -a small bottle of milk -mushrooms -garlic -frozen veggies (peas, broccoli, spinach) -cabbage/brussels sprouts -yogurt

It wouldn't let me put in my age for the thing...so I had to bump it up five years. However, it's about the exact same as my ugw, so I'm happy with that :) I'm in between a medium and large frame, and that calculator put me between 125 and 131, which is exactly where I want to be!

I think that, as long as you aren't aiming to lose five pounds a week, you're fine :) losing weight is a very personal thing...and no one should be able to tell you how to do it, as long as you're doing it in a healthy manner. I, personally, think your goal is more than attainable :) and I wish you the best of luck!

Diced chicken breast, diced onion and mushrooms, a little soy sauce, minced garlic and lettuce cups. Saute all the ingredients but the lettuce in a pan, then place it in the lettuce cups, add a side. Voila, supper! I love adding chopped water chestnuts and peas sometimes, too, but they aren't necessary. This is always…

Hourglass :) and proud of it!

I just got an NSV for my underbust...I want to eventually fit into a 34 bra, and I'm currently at 37 :)
