Is the 2T of ground flax really the only flour-like thing in this? Is the consistency anything like normal pancakes? I think I'll be adding this to my list of recipes to try.

I eat when I'm hungry; that's the only constant in my eating schedule. I often don't eat breakfast though because I like to sleep in until the last possible minute before I have to leave (I stay up late so that I get to see my husband when he gets off of work). I'm not sure if it's a + or a - that my relationship outweighs…

Your calculations all work out. I checked your diary and your protein right now seems really high. Doesn't that group also say that 200g protein should be your daily max? I think 1g protein/lb LBM for you will work fine while doing Insanity and it will be so much more achievable for you. You actually already meet and/or…

Lots of people on MFP lift quite heavy while in a deficit so don't worry that you can't lift heavy in a deficit. That's actually currently what I'm doing. People say that it's tougher to gain muscle mass while in a deficit, but that doesn't mean you can't lift heavy while in a deficit to burn off that fat and retain your…

Love this post!

A friend of mine once found a dead mouse in one of his beers when he opened it fresh from the case. It must have found its way in there and drowned in the factory before the bottles were closed.

This recipe is an insult to my beliefs! Water is very holy in my culture and to boil or drink it defiles it. Shame on you all!

Wow! No one has ever tried that on me before! Are you the only girl who lives in the place or is it possible that he was trying to hook someone else? Oh no! If there are 3 girls living there then he's going to hope it works on the other 2!

I've got it. I wear orthotics in all of my shoes except for heels and I'm good. I don't go barefoot or wear sandals. It does hurt after several hours on my feet but the orthotics are a godsend. I need to get a new pair every 2-3 years because they wear out though and they're not cheap. ETA: I also bought a home ultrasound…

I hear that this circuit is good for it. I know that the squats with the ball between my thighs burned! Forgot to add the link: http://www.realsimple.com/health/fitness-exercise/workouts/trim-your-inner-thighs-00000000035180/index.html.

I always eat my yolks! If a recipe calls for just whites (ex. meringue) then I toss my yolks in some boiling water and eat them with a dash of salt when they're done. Yummy! My favourite ways of eating eggs are: scrambled, fried, and hardboiled. I can't bear to let so much of the egg go to waste by dumping the yolk.

Great news! I'll be going 3x8 then and hopefully that helps me advance. Once I've outgrowth these dumbbells I'm hoping to be brave enough to go to a gym and use barbells for SL 5x5.

Dang. I should have thought of the Punisher because my hubby dresses like him for most costume events.

Venom?

The Juggernaut?

Congratulations!!! That's such wonderful news for you! *sticky baby dust*

Definitely going to make this later!

Chocolate protein powder :blushing: :bigsmile:

I don't wear makeup except for special events (my wedding, my prom).

Go girl!

There are plenty of curvatious people who lift. Lifting does not make you not curvy. Low BF can make you a little less curvy, but low LBM and mid-range BF people often have very few curves (as in flat butt and boring thighs usually, depending on how they carry their weight). Don't hate on lifters. ETA: I'm not hating on…

Does it count if I do dumbbells? Also, I just started and am still in the paltry 10-27.5lb range. Looking for lifting friends to bum advice off of though so everyone add me up!

Bowflex adjustable weights, a bench, and a food scale.

Hahahaha! My SIL has that happen to her all of the time and as a result she got really fit! I wish it would happen to me.

20 actually :) Awesome!

Wow! I didn't know that beef jerky isn't a thing there! That's so neat to know. It's basically just thin strips of beef that are cured until they are very hard and often have flavours added. I think the original kind is usually smoked, but I prefer the hot and sweet kind...not that it makes much difference to you since you…

Definitely about the mushiness and texture. Blech! I feel you on the 'whole' food thing. Lots of the people on here are up for powders though, so it was worth a try. :) My stew is soooo good right now. It's calling to me. I just want to eat it for all of my meals and snacks right now. I need to make more dumplings though…

I'm a fussy eater too and no one ever understands. On top of it I have food allergies. Allow me to go into detail: Allergies: all fruits all vegetables almonds pistachios anaphylactic allergy to watermelon mild lactose intolerance Foods I can't stand: string beans/chick peas/beans (hummus is alright because the texture is…

Yes, I think lunges would be good. Squats are great for legs too. If your knees have trouble with them I find that doing wide stance squats doesn't put as much pressure on them. Another thing that I do, for my calves, is stand on the balls of my feet with my heels raised about 1" from the ground and slowly raise higher…

He didn't want to leave me to go to work :smile:. I always love having him around and it saddens me when he leaves, but it's so nice to know that he'll miss me and looks forward to coming home to me.
