mmmm yes I've been on a punk kick lately. Rise Against & Bad Religion is the mix CD in my car right now :D

LOL billions? We were cyanobacteria billions of years ago. EDIT: I like cow's milk. 10g protein per cup. MOOOO!

chicken breasts quinoa wild rice mozzarella cheese avocados black beans lentils spinach onion bell pepper

Tall, dark, and handsome! I'm a sucker for long hair. Tattoos are a plus. my husband has all of these things :)

I like ice cream. I'm totally cool where I'm at now, a little more body fat than a month ago when I was at my leanest, but I have more energy, and can still enjoy foods I love.

Easy recipe, only takes me about 20 mins, serves 2-4 people. 2 cups chicken broth or water 1 cup quinoa 1-2 chicken breasts Olive oil 2 tbsp Minced garlic 1 large onion 1 large bell pepper, or 5-6 mini sweet peppers Salt & pepper Spinach Mix the quinoa with the broth/water, bring to a boil, then let simmer on low for about…

You'd think they would do all these updates on a development server, then deploy it here... oh well :P

Yup, *SO* bulky!

I need to put on some knee high socks and march myself back to the big boy room already.

I think this is due to anterior pelvic tilt that is caused by tight hip flexors, causing a person to not stand up as straight as they should, so their back looks rounded and it looks like they have a bigger gut because of the way their spine is. I used to have this problem until I started lifting heavy, now my posture is…

haha who said I was trying to be classy! :P Point being, no one gets to shame anyone for choosing to wear what they want to regardless of their size. Rude. In addition to that, no one should feel like they have to "wait to be skinny" before they can wear things they feel good in.

Taken last winter while wearing leggings (AS PANTS!!!! GASP) but I think it's rather appropriate for this thread ;)

I've cut out most food that comes in a box or a pouch and it's helped a lot! I used to eat pretty much just white rice, meat, pasta, and pastries for breakfast. Definitely not balanced enough. Then I started eating more fruits and veggies, whole grains, and more chicken and fish (not just beef all the time). I've gone from…

But I rather like my *kitten* and they're damn comfortable so you'll just have to stare at my lovely rump when I'm picking out produce at the grocery store. ;D

If you want to look like the woman in your ticker you better start picking up some heavy ****, girl.

I make a mean guac. I love avocado so much!

I generally think of it in a weekly timeframe as well. Life is way too short to worry about going 300 calories over on chocolate cake at a friend's birthday party on Friday when you ate well all week.

Golly, I never realized that simply wearing different clothing would prevent harassment and rape. Thanks for clearing that up for me. *rolls eyes*

Chamomile, or really any warm drink, always gets me nice and relaxed. and I concur with the stretching! 5-10 mins of yoga before bed and I sleep like a baby.

I wouldn't start out trying to lose weight. I've been lifting heavy, doing a moderate (20-30 min 3x week) amount of cardio, and eating at maintenance for about three months now. I weigh exactly the same as when I started but I've changed my body composition and it's made a big difference.

Kat Dennings, Rebel Wilson, and Gabourey Sidibe <3 EDIT: These women may or may not fit your definition of "chubby" -- regardless I've put their names here because they are women I truly admire no matter their size.

It's a tie between ice cream and brownies.

Not really weird, but there's this guy who goes to the gym the same time I do in the morning, and I've overheard him talking to others. He is a very religious, but very kind sounding man who wants nothing more than to teach others "the way of the Lord." You can tell he's super passionate about his beliefs. The other day he…

I've always had one and I've always been small. It's just where my body stores fat (along with my butt and hips!) I've been lifting for 3 months and it has definitely improved, but not gone away yet. I'm pretty sure I'd have to be under 20% BF to not have one. It's just genetics I think.

Drumsticks. The ice cream, I mean :P Especially the cookie-dipped variation...

I'm all for wanting to help others, but sometimes what seems strange to you actually makes sense to them. I was on the other side of this the other day using the assisted pullup machine. I only needed 25lb for the chin up but I still needed 40lb for a "real" pullup and this lady saw me changing the amount of weight back…

I never thought I'd be waking up at 6am 3x a week to get my butt to the gym, but I still somehow do it every week! Before I started working out I would sleep in as late as possible (30 mins before work), get up, throw some clothes on and stumble into work. But now I get to work and I've already eaten breakfast, had coffee,…

Yep! just had some cauliflower and those cool fractal broccoli things.

I'll eat a bagel or an english muffin with my coffee in the morning (finally got myself used to eating breakfast again after years of not doing so), do my workout around 7am, then eat a banana or some oatmeal when I get into the office.

The biggest pile of fried sushi I can fit in my stomach.
