Dietitians have many purposes but for many of us, we can learn enough about food that we can use that knowledge to help us lose weight or achieve our goals without a dietitian. I do feel like a great portion of the population has NO sound knowledge about food and what they put into their bodies. Often a dietitian is the…

Dry Shampoo is the key! If i'm super sweaty I let my hair dry up a bit on its own and then blast it with the dry shampoo. I live with this stuff in my purse, my gym bag, a bottle of it at work. Dont really know what I would do without it.

Arms please, lean forearms. I'm weird like that

I like the chest hair!!!!!!!!!!!! Now... back hair though.... that's a problem.

I think you could. I personally have never made meatloaf but i'd imagine it is somewhat similar to making home made burgers???? My previous post I mentioned I put oatmeal into those.

I put oatmeal into my homemade extra lean beef/turkey burgers as the (bread crumb substitute). You don't notice it at all after you are done BBQing them. Sometimes i'll have a bun but depending on my carb intake earlier in the day I'll just use lettuce as the bun :)

Being at the top of the mountain when my BF and I snowmobiled to the top on a bluebird day. THAT VIEW. That's about it though.....

Pinterest is a great place to go if you don't pin already :)

Yep, although I'm not a smoothie fan I do agree with this and have post workout drinks for this reason.

This is how I feel about drinking calories. I'd rather have a chicken breast then a can of pop. Those people who drink smoothies as meal replacements are special people to me. After I drink a smoothie I'm already thinking "OK, where is the rest of my breakfast" but in reality I've just consumed a 300 cal drink which…

Not weird at all! I also have a motivation pic on my fridge!

I have the same problem. I just think about eating and want to eat more even though I have just eaten. I need to keep myself busy or I constantly think about food.

I usually feel like eating when I'm sitting at my desk working. So I'll go for a walk around the building or make myself a cup of tea. If I'm at home, I start cleaning or some sort of household chore to distract my mind. Most of the time I brush my teeth haha. I hate ruining that perfect smooth feeling my teeth have after…

I once had a girl on my soccer team message me, thanking me for being her motivation to train and lose weight. It was very touching. Even though I wasn't publicly announcing that I was pro healthy living/eating etc. she still noticed. Was awesome :) GO US!

I Youtube the fitness competitions. So interesting!

In regards to "greasing the right persons palm", There are A LOT of politics within the industry. Now, i'm not one to speak from experience, I have not competed but a good friend of mine has, several times and I've attended her shows. If you want to place, a trainer is the way to go. There is so much knowledge in the…

Looks like ChickenTuna's butt in your profile pic OP! Great motivation for sure! Honestly, I think that this bodybuilding contest you will be signing up for is not worth your time if you don't spend some money. Unfortunately. And I say that because i'm assuming you want to place decent in the competition but my…

This makes me want a Twinkie. or a cookie. I'm having horrible cravings right now.

All the time. I'm a creep :)

What I find interesting is that you openly admit to being new to "the whole diet and exercise stuff" yet it didn't stop you from posting completely inaccurate information about diet and exercise. Do more research, test it out and keep the posting advice to forums to a zero.

Perhaps you should have thought a little harder about whether what you were posting was correct or not. Just a thought. Those of us that are giving you attention are just occupying our day with the person who entertained us with something so stupid.

No, maybe your attempt at being funny sucks.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

8 g of protein a day....... hahahaha I live on protein. I love that ****.

:blushing: It is true. :happy: :happy: :happy:

I am a number for the brunettes but hey a great mane( I dont care what color) on anyone is always HAWT!

Your sister is acting like a child and you are letting it affect you. Go on with your life and your healthy lifestyle. There might be some underlying issues within your sister. Sounds like she is trying to make you feel crappy for something in order for her feel better and its something as petty as a diet. Be proud of your…

I'm on a veggie/egg stir fry kick. Broccoli, red pepper and carrots. Chopped up to your liking, sauteed in a pan with a bit of coconut oil/sesame oil. Veggies should still have a bit of crunch to them..... and add in two eggs/eggwhites. Whatever you prefer. Finish sauteing and serve with your choice of salsa! Its my go to…

Those quads! :love:

Ohhhh i'm right there with you on that one! Love hot wings with ranch for dip and beer.
