This is great! Thanks for posting!

Hey there! I do Bodypump and sometimes Body Combat. For Body Pump, I just log it as X amount of minutes "Strength Training/Weight Lifting" - which is oddly under Cardio. ? Body Combat to me is equivalent to high energy cardio/aerobics. You could also wear a heart rate monitor, from what I've heard ( I don't own one..yet :)…

Not at all, last summer my 4-5 day routine included several 2 hour days a week (boot camp, spin and lift) plus morning boot camps. It wasn't a problem at all and I didn't feel over-exerted or tired all the time. In fact, it was the opposite.

Of course! And you're gonna be fine - in fact, you'll be great once you get a direction from a specialist on how to handle your issue! (It sounds like your GP has been brushing you off, mine's done that in the past about other health probs and I find it frustrating.) Good luck!

Here's where I get all motherly: you should be moving your bowels at LEAST once a day. It's normal to be constipated every once in a while, but it sounds to me like you may have a chronic condition and I would highly recommend you see your doctor or ideally a specialist, although your GP would be a good place to start. No…

NO WAY?!

you're being silly today.

these are more like turn-offs: - unnecessary use of old-timey text abbreviations (i.e "what r u up 2?"). THIS IS NOT 2007. - weak handshake - no gumption - dumb That said, if you have a mop of dark, curly hair, you can do all of those things and I'd be pretty cool with you.

I hate myself every time I smoke. Since I've started running though, I've cut back. Hopefully, my desire to be a better runner will win out over my desire to smoke.

Also, has anyone seen 'Twin Peaks' - one and only television series by David Lynch? Just discovered it. So awesome. (and on Netflix, duh.)

'Oldboy' by Park Chan-wook. Violent, intense and one of my all time favorites. In fact, the whole Vengeance trilogy by Park is on Netflix. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vengeance_Trilogy HIGHLY recommended.

Oh. My God. This is the greatest. hahaha.

Of course I would, what a ridiculous question. edit: sorry, that sounded mean. I guess I meant to say, if a girl cares that you're balding, she's not a girl worth your time. Personally, I would notice that a guy is bald/ing like I would notice the color of his shirt. It doesn't matter to me.

Some of it makes me want meat so bad (NOT LIKE THAT). But other posts (Bacon cup filled with cheese) make me want to hurl. It's like an analogy of life, right? ;)

Tedious, cursory subject, unnecessarily pitting women against women. Instead, let's talk about discrimination against women of ALL sizes. Or let's talk about fat acceptance in the workplace. Or, dear god, just ANY other topic that won't make us all look like superficial, dumb c*nts who'll scratch each other's eyes out over…

Yep, same for me. Bananas were taking up too many calories, I'd eat 2 a day as well. Trying to cut out most sweets as well, but that's because they are my Achilles' heel.

Adobe CS 5.5 a girdle "Air Guitar: Essays on Art and Democracy" by Dave Hickey. Suki eye repair balm Amazon is my nemesis, btw.

Definitely not a lark :) But sure, if you buy prepackage foods and meals, you will be paying more. I make ahead 90% of what I eat and seem to be doing okay financially :)

That's me! Friending you! EDIT: any other of you ladies that want to friend me, please do! Loving the super supportive people that have helped me so far :)

Dude, I have several people like that in my life. Brass tacks? Be blunt. It's your life, not theirs. If they are truly a friend, they would understand that this is the path you've chosen and respect your choices. I hate it when people dog me to eat/drink more or make derogatory comments about my weight loss efforts. Like I…

you got that much definition in just 30 days? damn! nice work!

A coworker of mine from El Salvador told me a story about his grandfather that I will never forget. His grandfather was an indigenous Salvadorian who's own father and grandfather had both died around the age of 65. He assumed that it would go the same for him, and as he hit his mid-sixties had pretty much resigned himself…

Ugh, dude, I could use some tips too. I ran next to the gym mirror today and there was too much movement, and I wear 2 sports bras. WTF? How many do I have to wear? Seven? Also, any ladies wanna commiserate with me on the fact that although I've lost 15 lbs since October (several before joining MFP) the only clothing items…

I can absolutely tell! You look flippin fantastic, keep up the great work!

I was just thinking about this today, I usually do full squats with body weight just fine but weighted, man, I really need to work on that.

bahahaha.

That's a dating loophole - so if you said no, he wouldn't exactly be shot down/denied while asking you out on a date. I saw that on 'Seinfeld' last night.

haha, I love your photos! Congrats on your loss!

Other than broccoli, carrots, and snap peas? Oh, just all of the yummy veggies in the world!! But I understand, I get in a rut too with my veg. Try sautéed beets greens, you'd be surprised how spicy delicious they are. Kale, chard, both sturdy greens you can eat raw or cook. I bought sweet corn this week and made a raw…

My fat is evenly spread over my whole body, I'm ok with my butt and hips and even thighs, but I can say emphatically that I will be so stoked when my arm flab is 110% gone.
