I rarely eat sugar (except naturally occurring in fruits) and I've had to be dairy free since 2003 so I'm not suffering headaches or anything, but then again, I fell off the wagon last night. I ate dosas (fermented lentil crepes - Indian food) without even thinking about the fact that they're off limits! ARRRRRGH!!! Now I…

How about minus the implants?

It seems an unfair comparison b/c the woman on the left is standing in an unflattering pose, not the same pose (front leg bent, emphasizing her curves) as the other two. And how about one with some muscular definition? Not man-muscles, but some definition would be attractive. Edited to add that I saw while I was typing my…

Hi! I've started my first Whole 30 today. I want to cook each week's meals on Saturday or Sunday so I spend less time prepping and cooking. Eventually, I would like to try a Whole 60 AND do it with Once a Month Cooking. Would LOVE some menu ideas and OAW(M)C tips!!!

Along a similar vein, when I used to dress "comfortably" (big sweatshirts, pants too big, Doc Martin-type shoes), women were more friendly and men not so. Once I finally got a clue that guys are attracted to looks and not to brains ('cause duh, brainiac, how can you judge that at a glance?), and started wearing clothes…

For general info: Junior sizes (odd numbers in females' clothes) are designed for women who (theoretically) don't have a fully matured pelvis (read "wide hips"). So a size 9/10 junior, even today, is already smaller in certain areas than a modern size 10.

WOW, I didn't know men had to put up with that, too! I have vintage jeans and slacks that are size 6 and some size 8. They fit well on good days, snug on others. All of my newer pants and jeans are sizes 2 and 4 (most are a bit big). I even have two currrent items that are size 0 that fit. It's ridiculous! DEFINITELY a…

^^^ THIS!!! ^^^ Why are most women so quick to attack each other rather than the true source of the trouble???

On a related note: To all the other parents out there whose young children sometimes throw tantrums in public, know that I as a mom, and most other moms out there, understand how you feel and are NOT judging you harshly. We sympathize, though there is not much we can say except "I've been there, too!" :flowerforyou: The…

^^^ This. ^^^- and op, understand that the last part is sarcasm...

The "just an intolerance" to gluten is still an immune reaction. It often follows a different pathway and has more of a brain-gut connection (and corresponding issues/injuries), but it is just as serious as celiac. It seems to be more prevalent nowadays for two main reasons: 1) there is finally more awareness of it in the…

What a child plays with does NOT determine that child's sexual preference later on. It most certainly will NOT make someone gay. And don't worry about what friends or family thinks or says. Just remind them that being gay doesn't evolve from childhood toys or clothes.

OK, finally, someone who likes Kinnickinnick products! I have wondered how in the world they stay in business b/c everyone I know cannot eat anything by that company (me included). There must be something in the pea protein they use or something that some people's taste buds are triggered by and some aren't. So you'll most…

I've been GF for 14.5 years. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the Flax bead from The Grainless Baker!! They also do a cinnamon raisin that tastes good, but the flax is the best commercial bread we've found. It's tender, has a good "crumb", great consistency and delicious flavor. I usually make my own b/c we must also be dairy free and…

Yes, that was such a GREAT look!!

It reminds me of one of Halle Berry's haircuts - and she looks fabulous! ^^^ This ^^^ . Proper layers help thin hair look more voluminous. If you're worried about drawing attention to your chin area, then DON'T wear a blunt bob that ends there! I've worn my hair superduper short (buzz-cut! Yikes, that was a mistake -- very…

Hmmmm, a nice layer of padding will hide any potential "buffness" -- whether of fat or clothing. Lots of leg-based cardio (e.g. running) usually keeps arm muscle mass from building. Buff looks hot on anyone (male or female) and is not to be confused with emaciated or with "blown up with steroids". As one with rather buff…

I'm over today by almost 2,000 kcal - and probably more since I didn't measure my food and therefore most likely underestimated the quantities. :drinker: I'm not worried about it though. It tasted delicious and it was actually all healthy (except the quantity of the sweet potatoes) and it was the first major feast in 13…

Yes, do what is right for you and your fiance. And it IS health-related -- this kind of stress definitely affects your health. To reiterate: If this has been going on for 15 years, it's not going to change now. A "friend" request on FB is NOT reaching out to apologize or to do anything that would be helpful to you. You…

He did not admit guilt. He may, but has NOT yet. You must have been lucky in your life so far since you have obviously not had to deal with the legal system. I used to think the same way - why would an innocent person EVER give up fighting??! But lawyers can strip you of every penny you have and will ever have, your…

Cool Water by Davidoff. I'll follow around any man wearing that just to enjoy the deliciousness for a few extra seconds! And whatever my new coworker wears - it's also heavenly! But I haven't figured out a good non-awkward way to ask him what it is. Maybe "I would love to buy some of that perfume/cologne for my boyfriend.…

LOVE Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk! Tastes delicious and has protein so it's also a healthy snack. Even the Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Breeze has only 45 calories (approx.) per 8 oz serving - yum!!! Also love kim chi (fermented spiced cabbage and radishes), though it, too, is high in sodium plus I need to eat a ton of…

Unfortunately, there are currently no medical tests able to measure gluten sensitivity. Only untreated celiac disease with small intestine damage can be confirmed by medical tests. The only way to find out if you have a gluten sensitivity (suspected to affect approx. 10% of the Caucasian population) is to go completely…

YAY!! I did the 30DS once before and was amazed with the fast results. I'll post before and after pictures. By the way, Jillian now says NOT to do the DVD every single day, but rather to do it 3 or 4 days in a row, then take a one-day break, then back to 3 or 4 days in a row, then a one-day break, etc. This will be great!

and I thought it was going to be pictures of hot guys... :) Thanks for the links!

My first thoughts were "that trainer is a jerk!" and this. ^^^ But really, s/he may have simply chosen the wrong words while trying to say, "Be sure you are doing this for YOURSELF and your health b/c that's what really matters." Either way, you may want to consider hiring a new trainer. Congratulations on your successes…
