if you change something, make it consistent for two weeks and then evaluate what it's doing for you. make sure you are logging every single thing that goes in your mouth, like licking the spoon after getting out 2 T of peanut butter, condiments, sugar in coffee.

i have some hand me down pieces from there, and i don't see the big deal. i workout for about an hour a day, i don't see the benefit in buying very expensive workout clothes i won't use often. i would rather buy cute work stuff, or hang out with friends/weekend stuff. but if you've lost weight, and you feel you deserve it,…

that's my guess! i have gained mass in the front of my thighs, but lost mass in the back of my thighs and butt. so my thigh has definitely reshaped, and i see a curve of muscle on both inner thighs when my legs are flexed and close together. i love that.

i love making hummus to dip my veggies in. i take the husks off the beans so the end result is creamier, olive oil, garlic, tahini and some water if it's too thick. oh and lemon juice!

i wouldn't care in the least! what does ruin my shopping experience is when i go up to the register and see the total. yikes... but i love VS =D all of my underwear and most of my bras are from there. my stuff from HS is still in good shape after hundreds of washes. it's worth the price, for me. also i loled at your name!…

divvy up chores. i discovered i hate a dirty bathroom, my BF hates a dirty kitchen. less fighting when we know who is supposed to clean what. be upfront with him, don't be coy saying "oh it would be nice if someone could help me with dinner!" just ask "hey can you help me with this?" and earplugs. my bf loves to play video…

i watch arrested development, or walk my dog. also some chocolate.

i came to this conclusion at some point last year. light stuff gives me a headache, i think because of the fake sugar, and doesn't fill me up since they take the fat out. i just go for the real deal, and have slowly honed my discipline and restraint. it's F*ing hard though.

lols! i second this! eat a tapeworm you'll lose that weight so fast.

she's a smart lady!! check out grassfedbeef.org if you want some good meat. i'm just about to place an order there, and have been thrilled with my past 3 shipments (one of which was just 8lbs of bacon. don't judge me!)

doyogawithme.com search stretches, beginner.

exactly. i also had to learn how to scrunch my shoulders together and have a narrow grip. every time before my set, i have to adjust to get my muscles to pad the bar. i squat 135 and very rarely have bruising. if i do bruise, it's a line thin on one side or the other due to me moving the bar slightly while on my back. kind…

protein shakes, get a good brand you can mix with water or a banana. or make your own jerky, i make mine and cut off all the fat. i use turkey breast.

sounds like you have a mental block going on! did you know there are lots of different kinds of lettuce, like butter lettuce, romaine, iceberg, green leaf, red leaf? i for one would eat butter lettuce all day every day if i could, it's sweeter and softer than normal lettuce. concentrate on the crunch of vegetables. that is…

give it at least 2 months, if not 3! i gained steadily for the first month, either due to water weight or increased muscle mass. i've balanced out, but still have a solid 5lbs more than my lowest weight doing only cardio. my clothes fit fine, albeit a little bit tighter in the front of my thighs, but smaller in the back of…

I guess reading from monkeydharma, they're just as bad. They fooled me, I bought the kind containing celery juice! But my usual 14.99 a lb bacon is too expensive for me to eat it every day, waaaaah... =(
-
i find when i eat processed foods as a snack i end up more hungry, and with more sodium than i'd like. i have almonds and sunflower seeds at my desk, and also will eat some yogurt with fruit and granola. or a side salad, with lettuce, bell peppers, carrots and cucumbers. weight lifting is amazing because it's reduced my…

got my kirby and triforce hand towels in, same day as my hayao miyazaki/street fighter mashup shirt from teefury! wore it out to the store with my glow in the dark robot sweatshirt. about to go kill some n00bs on D3, had a 43 string kill count last night totalling 4.3k extra experience. gonna try to beat that today!

netflix/hulu plus and online streaming. just cut the cord with cable, feels so good =D

and tomatoes! i thought something was wrong with my mouth when my regular tomato tasted like nothing. got me some organic tomatoes, delicious! like eating sunshine.
-
well, my nails are brittle and chip easily, but i don't bite them. they have always been like that, when i was fat and eating terribly, when i was very young, and still now, with a healthy diet and exercise. lots of people over the years have told me to take this or that, but i don't like spending money on pills when i…
-
first, relax! not many people dive into eating fully primal right off the bat. decide what fits in your budget, what you enjoy eating, and then try to improve upon that. i for one can't afford the high quality meat all the time, but i do my best, getting organic when i can. leftovers are a great option for breakfast, just…

if i don't use coconut oil, butter or olive oil then i use my unprocessed nitrate free bacon grease. depends on what kind of flavor i want to infuse in what i'm cooking. butter or bacon grease for red meat, coconut oil for veggies, etc. are you using virgin (unprocessed) cold pressed? that's what i use, and i love the…
-
lol! i stopped hearing excuses. before i lost the weight, i was full of them. now that i've sweat, cried and agonized through my 50lbs lost, i know better ;) and hell yes i love myself more! i always used to put others first, which must have been very nice for them, because they had to put in zero effort to keep me around.…

it's not fat in the ol' US of A! in almost every other country in the world, yes it means you still have some body fat to burn off.
