You look great! This is an amazing picture and just motivates me to work harder. You are Bad-*kitten*!

Hair looks great, two piece looks awesome and the girl in the picture is rocking both of them! Have a great vacation!

Thank you! MEXX if you have one in your area. They have it in beige too.

This was before work yesterday as yes...I made into the little black size 6 dress. :)

I was on Alesse (spelling might be a little off here...blaming short term memory!) at first and it was not strong enough for me. No noticeable weight gain. Then I was on Yasmine. Hell! I had huge side effects. In short, I could not eat dairy, lettuce, etc without getting massive pain and bloating afterwards. Took a few…

If any of you ever have the chance to eat grilled barracuda (freshly caught), it is heaven! It's a nasty looking fish, but boy does it taste yummy!

How long have you been on MFP? For a little over a month How many calories a day do you eat without exercise calories? Did 1200 for 3 weeks, then read some threads and NRLFW and got some sense kicked into me and bumped it up to 1750. Do you eat your exercise calories? Most of the time. I exercise late in the day, and…

Originally from Montréal, but currently living in Brampton, ON.

I can relate and it does take some adjusting and time to get comfortable with it all. When I got transferred to Toronto (form Montreal...a 6hour drive away) for work, my boyfriend decided to make the move with me (we were already living together at that time). I knew no one else aside from colleagues, but we had each…

Same here. Not judging those that appreciate it, but it's not for me. I do appreciate when a man opens the door and lets me go in first, though :) Oh, and slightly maybe off topic, but if I'm having lunch or dinner with a man and I'm the one to ask for the bill, please either hand it to me or leave it on the table in…

This. Do you know what your BMR is?
-
Stop reading through all the recent posts, it gets addictive and you NEED TO GO TO BED!
-
Same here. It seems like many condiments and most processed foods taste too salty for me now.

It all depends on what you put as your lifestyle (sedentary, very active, etc) and how much you set your weekly loss goal to be. If you eat 1200 a day and lose lets say 400 on your workout, then that nets to 800cals per day which is not healthy. Unless the 1200 you mention is net, and well, how accurate that goal is for…

Don't lose hope! I'm just shy of 5'10 and I must say I do prefer tall men (6'0+ please!). Yes, it's nice to be able to wear heals without feeling like I'm towering over a guy, but really for me, it's more a sense of feeling protected...like I'm the "petite" one. It just does not work when I have broader shoulders than my…

Next goals are: - 18.5% BF (was at 22.6%, now at 19.2%) - Do a full chin-up (never been able to do one) - Do 30 push-ups in a row (was at 2, now at 20) - Run a 10K without stopping - Run a 5K under 28min.

Ok, so I read all your post and I was trying to look at it from the guy's point of view as some of you suggested and maybe, just maybe, he did just think I was in the cooldown portion of my workout and did not mean to interrupt. Update: Today as I as warming up (5min) on the treadmill just before my strength workout with…
-
In all honesty: yes. If he was good looking, I still would have been shocked by the lack of courtesy in his timing. For the record, I did not try to burn him. I listened to him for the length of my rest interval (ok, that's only about 1.5minutes...but again, I was training), smiled and told him I was doing intervals, but…

I do. My findings? - Thin means thin - Athletic means athletic or "would like to think they are athletic". This seems to be the category where most men feel they belong, whatever shape or size they actually are. - Average means average or a few extra pounds - A few extra pounds means a few extra pounds or quite a few extra…

This. I love to be active and yes, for convenience particularly Mon-Fri, I go to the gym. However, the gym is not my life, it's just one way to stay/get fit which improves my life. So in a guy, I'd want someone who is active (run, hike, ski, climb, swim, etc), but that will not be distraught if we're on vacation or…

This. There will always be terrible people out there, but there are also some outstanding human beings. You did the right thing by reporting it. You're working hard on your fitness and health and that's something you should always be proud of.

I'm happy to give some tips on what works for me, but my point was if he made a small judgment call, he could have instead said: "hey, sorry, if you have time when you're done, I'd like to ask you about your running routine." to this, my answer would have been "I'll be done in 20min, meet me here and I'll be happy to.".…

Hi. I started weight training in January and I'm seeing great improvements fast....but I still consider myself a rookie. I'm not sure if you were looking for men lifting buddies or women too, so I thought I would ask.

I agree. I LOVE peanut butter and only buy the "all natural" kind (the one referred to on one of the posts). I don't have it often and when I do, I only have a little and build it into my daily calorie/fat/carb intake. I just make it work as there is something about peanut butter, some banana and bread that make my taste…

You made me laugh...thank you. :)
-
Thank you everyone for your kind words! It's people like you that add the extra motivation I need to keep progressing with my fitness goals. Cheers!

What a great costume and it has to do mostly with how fantastic the girl wearing it looks! Have a blast at the convention!!!
-
That's a great moment! In your shoes I would have been trying to keep myself together, say thank you, and then internally, I'd be doing the happy dance :) Good for you!!

1. Cold shower (if the pressure is not too high, or else it will sting) or bath. 2. Hydrate like crazy 3. Cold compress (wet towel) 4. Solarcaine or aloe and apply often as your skin will absorb it quickly. This is also important when it stops hurting as it will help with reducing the skin peeling. This may sound weird,…

It won't, so no, you're not doing anything wrong :) What you can do, is use "strength training" in cardio, select the minutes you spent doing it and it will give an approximate number of calories burned. Then you can record the details under strength section (the one you were using bellow the cardio section) and monitor…
