  • http://www.buzzfeed.com/robynh18/12-perks-of-having-a-bikini-bridge-gogr doing more research on it, it seems to be a 'Pro-Ana' thing, and some websites are being told to just talk about it to troll other sites.
  • HATE walmart, rude customer service people, rude customers, someone even tried to steal stuff out of my cart so I just said, "You want it so bad fine, take it" and I walked away from the cart and left the store. Another thing I noticed, Walmart has the biggest selection of processed foods than any other grocery store I…
  • for me personally: eating clean=minimally processed, ideally organic as much as possible. I even have cut out most dips, spreads, and dressings. I'm starting to make my own pastas and sauces from scratch too. So much more tasty.
  • I don't have kids, but when I was a kid, I had free reign over the fridge or cupboard. I had my choice of cookies, crackers, ice cream, etc. I just never had the urge to pig out, and I was always skinny. I have friends with kids, and they have free reign over the fridge and cupboards. Once when I was visiting, her daughter…
  • I could barely get through the 'Fit Test'. Me being really stubborn, I was determined to change, so I pushed through. I had a few setbacks and had to stop for a bit, but when I could, I jumped right back in. My knees really hurt when I did Plyo, but I started taking glucosamine with MSM, and it helped tremendously. The…
  • I assume you did not read the article, and scaremongering? Please. here: According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), exposure to alachlor can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, spleen, and eyes, and may lead to the development of anemia and even cancer. The EPA apparently views alachlor as so dangerous,…
  • thanks again for this thread! Previously I had been sucked into reading and subscribing to Shape/Fitness magazine, I wanted to look like the models in the magazines, alas, now I can see that they are photoshopped. So disappointing.
  • It really depends on the location, in more urbanized and diverse areas, you can find either on the menu. Where I live, it is easily found at an Indian (not Native American) or Brazilian restaurant. Most American Gyro cafes use beef as the 'gyro' meat, you have to specifically ask for lamb. I really like lamb when it is…
  • I used to use Nutrogena Helioplex, then I found that it doesn't absorb into my skin that well-white streaks would appear on my face an hour later. Then I kept reading that avobenzone and oxybenzone (both of which are in Nutrogena) are showing up to be toxic to humans. (check out http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/) Now I only use…
  • you sound like a BB coach
  • it does not matter if your dog is around other dogs or not to contract heartworm. Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes-so if you live in an area that does not have mosquitoes, then you are all set. Discount pet pharmacies DO NOT purchase their product from the drug manufacturers directly. They buy in bulk from "who knows…
  • never appealed to me. It's a bunch of chemicals, preservatives and whatnot. You can make yourself a healthier shake with pure protein powder and milk/soy/almond milk, and frozen fruit. (I know there will be a few people on here that will swear by it, but I think eating clean will take you further in your goals) EDIT: I did…
  • a tulip daffodil lily mix.
  • happens to me with mayo.
  • You cannot 'air pop' on the stove. If you are getting rid of your microwave, you will need to purchase an air popper from the store. They are about $10-$20. otherwise, for air-popped in the microwave you can just put 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels in a small brown paper bag, fold the top down and put in there on 'high' for 3-4…
  • when I was 13, I was 5' and 98#, I got made fun of and called 'anorexic'. It really affected me. As others have said, NPs are NOT nutritionists, and at 13, I would be more concerned with her getting enough protein to support her growing and changing body. A consult with a nutritionist that specializes in children/young…
  • I buy extra firm organic (98% of US tofu is GMO). I really don't do anything special with it, I just use it like a meat substitute, or if I just want more protein. Cube and toss it in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. Stir-Fry, curry, miso soup. I have even just put sesame oil and soy sauce in a pan with green onions, pan…
  • This thread is useless without pictures.
  • the only thing that girls are taught is "Have a happy period" feck whoever came up with that motto (probably a man), I doubt girls are jumping for joy while wearing WHITE PANTS and shouting, "YAY! I have cramps!" "yay! I have PMS!" "yay! I have aches and pains and feel so tired!" "yay! I have a migraine and can't bear to…
  • I found mine at a sporting goods store, it's collapsible so I can take it with me while traveling. It's also weighted so it makes the workouts a bit harder, you have to swing your hips more to keep it going. The kid hoops aren't much of a workout.
  • I am 5'1" and 140. Looking to get to 115-120. I am staying around 1200-1300 calories a day. EDIT: I am a small frame. Tried doing the 'eat more weight less' thing, and it just didn't work for me, I gained weight, and I couldn't lose. Once I dropped to 1200, I lost, but now I'm stuck. Was over 160, so I know I can lose…
  • even if a restaurant has 'nutrition information' they are only just a guideline. While one server may put 1/2 a cup of alfredo sauce on the meal they make for one person, that same server may put 3/4 a cup of sauce on your plate. Most places I go out to eat at are local small chains, so there is no nutrition information,…
  • that is awesome! I *love* to bake as well! a 'purist' baker to boot, everything is from scratch. Pie crust is from scratch, apples are straight from Wenatchee. Superbowl weekend, I proofed some yeast, kneaded out dough, let it rise, and made soft pretzels. Heck, the other day, I realized we were out of ketchup, so I found…
  • typical male 'doctor'. That is the number one reason I refuse to see a male for 'lady issues'. Are you close to a Planned Parenthood? They do more than just abortions, they also perform ALL women related healthcare procedures, and on a sliding scale. Explain to them that your insurance is thru the VA, and your doctor…
  • Superman, at the theater. My cousin took me, she was a huge Reeve fan. I was so young, I thought it was going to be a cartoon,
  • that's what I do at home, and minus the alcohol. I just like the taste of V8 with some chili powder and worcestershire sauce.
  • surprised nobody mentioned Bloody Mary...you're getting your veggies too! You can order Mary's with other liquors to suit your taste: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Mary_(cocktail) too many to list but examples are, Bloody Ninja=tomato juice and sake, Bloody Molly=tomato juice and Irish Whiskey. i know the sodium…
  • soooo....beer is like a liquid slice of bread? :laugh:
