I think you're beating a dead horse here.

HAHA! This made me laugh! Literally.

I can guarentee a cup of fat and a cup of muscle do not weigh the same. That's like saying a cup of water and a cup of styrofoam weigh the same. In terms of the phrase, when you say "muscle weighs more than fat" the person is refering to volume and people get butt hurt but essentially it's true. Of course everyone knows…

THANK YOU!

1) "It is what it is" 2) "To each their own" WAY overused on this site in my opinion 3) "FML" and now all of a sudden there's "SMH" Where do people come up with this crap?

Eat the reuben. I will be :happy:

This 1,000%. You pretty much just said everything I was going to. I went out and bought a $15 dollar pair of running shoes at Kmart and although I could manage running a few miles at the end my feet were so sore and covered in blisters I could barely walk. The shin splints also kept me from working out for a few days. I…

YES! I do eat back most of my calories burned. My experience is this: My BMR (which is the amount of calories your body needs just to survive) is about 1800. You're going to burn more calories then just from all your day to day activities. When factoring in my TDEE (total daily energy expendature) at a sendentary lifestyle…

I had been stuck for about 2 months as well. I upped my calories so I'm eating at my BMR and starting lifting heavy weights and I'm at a loss again as of yesterday :)

My 3 year olds watch me put on makeup everyday and play with my make up brushes like they're putting it on too :laugh: They love putting on lip gloss and chap stick (no lip gloss in public) but I would say I probably wouldn't actually let them start wearing make up until jr high. I think I was 13 when I started to. I think…

This for me as well. I can easily run 3 miles when I'm not strength training. On days that I do work hard at strength training I can barely run a mile so I end up usually running a half mile and then walking the rest of my work out. I'm going to start alternating my work out days but I think it's really whatever works best…

:laugh: I think everybody drives like morons when it rains anywhere. It's horrible in the capital too. Just yesterday while it was pouring rain I saw some d-bag swerving in and out of lanes on the highway with no turn signal. :explode:

Well I beg to differ. I live near Sacramento and can easily drive to Auburn which is about 25 miles away in about 30 minutes. I have also made the trip from Rancho to Natomas (and that's taking 3 different freeways) during rush hour, which is about 20 miles away, in about 30 minutes.

Those hair band things don't work for me either. I usually just use a plastic head band and some hair spray to keep those little hairs out of my face.

I have the Driod Bionic. Love love love it! My husband has the Driod Razr and he loves his phone too.

Born and raised in NorCal and I think that NorCal is better :) SoCal is too much desert and too hot in my opinion. Norcal is great because we're just a hop skip and a jump away from snow in the sierras and fun in the sun at the beach :)

I agree.

Congrats! I love NSV's!

I have twins too and that's the first question I get asked on a daily basis. The next is are they identical or fraternal. When they were babies (both girls) I would dress them in pink and purple dresses with bows on their heads and people would still ask if they were boys or girls. *sigh* I agree that people sometimes say…

Awesome. I will try that. Thanks :)

This reminds me of one time I was riding my bike with my two toddlers in my bike trailer (also an extra +/- 70 pounds) against the wind, and it was a very windy day. I thought I was going to die!

Ok I think I'll just set it there and see how that works out for me. Thanks for all the great info!

My BMR is 1888 and TDEE is 2259. 15% of that would be 1920 so they're pretty close. I have my calories on MFP set to lose 1lb per week which brings my calories up to 1780 which is right around the 500 calorie per day deficet instead of the almost 1000 I've been at. Does this look about right?

I find this all very encouraging since I've been battling the same few pounds FOREVER! I lost 29 pounds since I started late Septemeber and I have been stuck for a few months. I just recently upped my calories from 1580 to 1720 which is just below my BMR so I'm hoping this will help. I've also decided to stop focusing on…

This for me as well. I have two 3 year olds who are always asking for snacks. So they get some type of fruit or veggie snack usually 2-3 times a day on top of breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think some of it has to do with growth spurts too though. The're little eating machines when they go through a growth spurt.

I think you did misunderstand. Eating a piece if pizza and binge eating are not the same thing.

Rude. I say if you have a craving moderation won't kill you. A binge is bad. I find now though after eating pretty well for the past 5 months that 2 pieces of pizza fill me up and I'm good. Have a big salad with it :) I now also get a thin crust and lots of veggies instead of the tripple pepperoni with pan crust and am…

I change up eating yolks and not eating yolks. During the week I will usually have 1 egg and 2 egg whites scrambled with spinach and mushrooms. So yummy. On the weekens I will make scrambled eggs with the yolks for my whole family, and I always eat the yolks when I hard boil, fry, or poach them. I limit my yolk intake…
