Eh, I'm just now learning how to drive, now I'm even more paranoid everyone wants to use my head as an antennae topper. At least getting an actual license is incredibly cost prohibitive for me :P

thank you! I find cross-training helps both my swim and my mile time. Good luck to you!!!!

If you're that worried about your *kitten* showing maybe you ought to invest in pants?

Shampoo afterwards of course. Probably should have mentioned that

I use olive oil as a hair treatment once a week. I also make my own lotion using a base, olive oil, some cocoa butter and lavender oil and that works pretty good.

This. I've been cutting, and hit a plateau recently. So I started eating at maintenance on Sundays. Keeps me going!

when I'm feeling lazy I put rice in the rice cooker and some spinach in the steamer. When its done I mix it together and put some butter on it.

Friday night gym rat.

Sounds odd, but I want a ban on anyone who smokes marijuana in my gym. I like going into the Sauna or Steam room after a workout but now I can't go in when there are certain people in there because they obviously smoke and it absolutely reeks like marijuana. not to mention when they are working out in the same general area…

The one time I talked my dad into a cycling class. My dad used to be a semi-pro bike racer. He's won many races and fell off the bandwagon until I talked him back into the class. I grew up riding the trails and streets in my community, and I wasn't used to stationary bikes totally. So I was getting in the zone and doing…

Before. It helps me make better decisions about what I'm eating to see the impact on my daily allowance.

I met Gabe Newell of Valve fame at an art gallery once. We sat in a room and talked video games and art for a while and took a picture together and I gave him my email address. Next morning I had a Dungeons and Dragons session with my friends and they were all jealous. I didn't even realize it was him.

Well then stop eating since you're satisfied. Unless you're having symptoms of being malnourished or low blood sugar, nothing wrong with not having a small appetite.

cut it in half, eat it. Take the rest home in a doggy bag and have it for lunch. It's best to indulge yourself every once in a while then to have all your cravings come crashing down on you on night and the next morning you have a food hangover from binging on 5,000 calories and loads of fat.

Same thing happened to me when I went veg. It went away after about a month. It's just her body adjusting. Also, if you're worried about protein intake, protein shakes are pretty good for that in a pinch!

Once I reach my goal weight I'm getting my bellybutton pierced and getting a pretty rad dragon barbell in it. That's my motivation. And for every 10 pounds I lose I go on a mini shopping spree. Usually about $50 or so at some store I like.

You start with the first step. Which is the hardest. Find your most comfortable pair of shoes and lace them up. Go for a daily walk around your block, and when that gets easy make it a jog. Also, swimming is pretty low-impact. I started doing it and wow! What a calorie torch-er!

I have an idea. Get a family membership to the gym. Make getting healthy a family thing. You and your wife could take a self defense class together, or Salsa dance. Really anything! I know where I go, they have a ton of youth leagues for sports and swim classes and kids are allowed in most of the fitness classes.

I have no problem with fat people. I have a problem with things like the NAAFA. I don't believe we should accept a lifestyle that is detrimental and kills almost 300,000 people a year. I have a problem with hambeasts. It's saddening to think that people are getting so soft and buttmad about everything.

thank you! I joined a group just now!

My lovely SO is a member of the bacon-of-the-month club. Kid you not. I'm a vegetarian, I work out 6 days a week, go hiking etc. He can subsist off Mtn. Dew, Bacon, and Taco Bell. Granted, he's an ASM, so he does get a bit of a workout, and manages to stay pretty lean. But going out to dinner or cooking together is always…

I get really cranky and swell up like a balloon. People have asked me when I was expecting during that TOM. Generally makes me want to sit around and eat and not work out, so I gain about a pound or two.

As mentioned before, I'm a former anorexic. And I used to take out my negative emotions on my relationship with food. and it made for a horrible binge/purge/restrict cycle. When I was in treatment I learned about this thing called Falun Dafa. It's similar to yoga in some ways, and it really stops the emotional cravings (in…

Next time you get those unstoppable craving, try journaling first.Or blogging. Or whatever, You could be stressed and eating your emotions. When I get upset I crave a lot of snacks. Also, do try to eat more "filling" meals if you aren't already!

busy!

I draw in my sleep.

Don't worry about it too much. 420 calories is nothing. but seriously, don't worry about it. As a former anorexic, that how I slid down that unhealthy slope. First you fret about 420 calories, next thing you know you're starving yourself. Sit back and relax. You lost 14 pounds healthily already! Like others have said, it's…
