LOL We own a treadmill and a bunch of other stuff. I'm running out of room to put fitness equipment in the house ;)

LMFAO! Perfect response. Hahaha!

hey ATL, thanks for the suggestions. ya know, despite the fact i drink a lot of water/gatorade light when im out there riding, i know im probably not drinking ENOUGH, so even tho im not thirsty and i come back with emptied bottles, it doesnt mean my body agrees with my on the hydration issue. i'll see what bumping my water…

hey ladyphoto, how many pounds do you usually go up? i retain somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-6# every time i get on the bike more than an hour. as if that's not discouraging to see hanging around on the scale for 4 or 5 days, i dont know what is! LOL one thing i keep reminding myself of is that the year i rode the most…
-
nah, i dont consume excessive sodium on ride days (or on regular days, lol) i know sodium can cause water retention, but that's not whats going on here. when you take off and do a 4 hour bike ride with an average heart rate of 85% of your max, you're working really hard. muscles retain water when you work out hard. im just…

and FWIW, my doctor put me on a lower carb diet. Another doctor, the one who removed my gall bladder, told me i could thank my nutritionist and doctor for putting me on a lowered carb diet, which is what caused my previously gallstone free gallbladder to need to be removed after being on said diet. So ya, doctors can be…
-
Then ask your doctor instead of people on a message board. Jeez. Enjoy your fruit cravings....
-
I'm back and feel proud of myself for leaving the poor food choices to everyone else up there. LOL
-
Well, if you keep low carbing, think of how much weight you'll lose once they remove your gall bladder because it's full of gall stones you've created from an inappropriate diet. Sure, the organ itself is only a few ounces, but the endless pooping and improper digestion you'll experience forever once your bile regulator…

+1 on the allrecipes.com reference. Heck, I'm a paid member, I love it so much over there! I make smoothies in the morning. Super quick, super easy. I use one little 3.5oz tub of Chobani Champions greek yogurt, a banana, 5 strawberries, a splash of water and enough ice to make it cold (unless i was smart and froze the…

:) I'm so happy you enjoyed it. If you wear a heart rate monitor to track calories burned, do the intervals one day without weights, one day with them. Make a note of the calories burned and see for yourself how effective this routine is :D My trainer rocks!
-
sweet! have fun!! if you can raise your arms over your head (say, to blow dry your hair, etc) tomorrow without going 'oh MAN! wahhhh!', then youre using weights that are too light. ;)
-
I bring small hand weights. Bring two 3-5# weights with you and do a variety of upper body toning moves with them while you're out walking. You can always do one side at a time if you want to be able to push the stroller with something other than your stomach, LOL This routine I'm about to describe (which you can do…

Figures. I just made some butt-kicking swordfish on the grill last night. It was AWESOME and juicy. Maybe they will start farm raising them like they do salmon, LOL
-
You all need to give it up for my GORGEOUS friend Christie! This chick is not only tenacious when it comes to weight loss, she's smart as a whip and she's the epitome of southern charm. I've been watching her melt away at work for months now, and it's amazing to see the transformation she's already gone through. I can't…

I've got a bodybugg. Its creepy how accurate it is. It DOES know when Im awake at night, even if I just wake up and lay there still. The subscription IS a huge sucky part of their business model, specially after shelling out all the money for the armband and watch. It's worth the $6 a month, IMO. All that means to me is…
-
How many calories you burn depends on your weight and heart rate. If you want accurate information, it'd be best to get a heart rate monitor. :)
-
Meridia is a weird drug. I was on it for a short time when I was at my heaviest. What it did was killed ALL interest in food. It didn't just kill my appetite. I had absolutely zero interest in eating. It basically made me chemically anorexic. I stopped taking it because I honestly had a very difficult time eating anything…
-
ooh, how about getting a BOSU and doing the videos that come with it? If you are looking to tighten up your midsection, the bosu will leave you no other option but to firm it up, lol. I love mine so much I bought my fiance one. Now we can work out together instead of having to take turns :D
-
lol consuming healthy fat was the only way i could get in enough calories a day when i was low carbing. all i know is that prior to losing weight, i was healthy other than being overweight, no gallbladder issues, no family history of gallbladder issues. low carbed, lost a bunch of weight, then presto, gallstones and…
-
I agree with Kacates! Jillian's videos are no nonsense and there is no reason anyone wouldnt be able to use her vids for the long haul.
-
Polars have to be worn with the chest strap. The chest strap is what records your body's data. Without the chest strap, you'd just have a watch with a lot of features you can't do anything with, LOL
-
ive got a body bugg. it has the armband you wear all day long, and for an additional $80 you can order the watch to monitor your numbers. The biggest stinker of the body bugg is that you HAVE to upload your data to their website every so often or the device will run out of room for new data and will stop recording it. And…
-
I say since this is your first time doing low carb, then you don't have a lot of time invested in this eating plan, so it's not too late to get the heck away from it and into something more balanced. Low carb diets are one of the main contributors to gallstones. Gallstones might sound like no big deal. That's what I…

ps, if thats you in your avatar, youre smokin' damn hot and dont deserve to disrespected like that. i'd treat you better than that, and im a chick! hes a douche!
-
heh, does he know you know? you could recreate the poses from his ex, take pics of yourself in those poses and save them to his desktop. imagine the lump in his throat when he realized what he's lookin at? bwa hahaha
-
well, you could do the wise thing and kick his sorry rump to the curb and save yourself the heartache of continuing a relationship with a selfish, pathetic sack of crap.... if you arent up to leaving him, i say one up him. you just said you were looking and feeling the slimmest youve ever been til he ripped the wind out of…
-
ya, its kinda weird how yummy it is. i wish everything could come in a powdered diet version that tasted equally as yummo. the chocolate pb2 is good too :)
-
oh for petes sake....i see the post, i think its cute, i scroll down and see I've lost an elephant penis. How awesome. How exactly DOES one lose a 60# penis? LMFAO edit to add: i've lost 60# since my heaviest, not since being here on MFP, thus the ticker not reflecting it. LOL didn't want you guys to think i lost my mind…
-
PB2 is yummy, even tho it sounds disgusting. I use it in protein shakes. Their business model is a bit odd though, having to buy in quantity. But hey, you can order a whole entire pallet and have it drop shipped to you! LMAO!
