Trick question - eat the chocolate, just plan it in to your day. Denying yourself what you crave isn't gonna help in the long run, but in moderation it should be peachy. Just remember - eat the brownie = 300cals (est) so do 40 more min of a workout (or whatever) or plan accordingly and enjoy your treat :) My fav form of…

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Theme Song Yes I am a Pegasister :P

OMG - lol, the only I issue I have is that my new pants are a bit "see-thru" ish, so I do make sure I'm wearing something that won't show badly (or atleast will make somebody laugh if they do spy something - like the kitty face - LOL)

I would need surgery to get to size 0, my hips are too wide. I already feel my hip (pelvis) bones and I'm not gonna get much "narrower". I'm already at a smaller size than I ever have been in my Adult life (16) and will be more than happy settling for 10-12. I honestly am setting my GW for 160-170 pounds, which I know for…

1. New clothes, including bras (not cheap) 2. COLD all the time - WTheck 3. I'm also an introvert and I become a "deer in the headlights" when people notice & complement me 4. The left side of my body (weaker more deformed side) is finally getting stronger 5. I now help the hubs instead of him helping me (i open jars, lift…

My weight loss has gone flat since I started lifting - I've lost some inches, but I now fit a size smaller than before and I really do feel muscles where I once didn't (thighs and even abs - OMG, I have abs O_O was quite a shock). Everyone keeps telling me to STOP the lifting and loose more weight first and as of now, I've…

I just turned 37, no kids (unless you count the Hubs) and I don't think any will be coming soon. I'm only married because it was easier on taxes & such forth. Been together for 10 years, married almost 5. I'll tell ya to wait till you ready & don't settle.

When using DD's, I use (2) 25lb (20 rep per set, 4-5 sets), when doing Barbell versions, I'm up to 70lb (6-9 reps, 3-4 sets) as of yesterday.

brussel sprouts cabbage kale lima beans I'm now getting more dairy (lactose intolerant, but more cheese & dairy are lactose free)

I have the Ultra (older version w/ sync dock) & I clip it on my bra strap (LOL) since I kept loosing it when I clipped it in my pocket. I've ordered the Flex, which looks like a silicon bracelet, so that one will be "hopefully" easier to prevent loosing and will look like a bracelet.

1. Pain, where was your most/least painful tattoo located? Most: chest (left breast), top of thighs - least: back, side of thigh, side of upper arm. 2. How many places did you visit before you got it done? For first one, 3 places - varies down the years till I started putting them on my own skin 3. What would you recommend…

If your talking about the Flex - everywhere seems to be "pre-ordering" or backordered. Best dates I found were this month, between 5/17/13 & 5/25/13 (heartratemonitors.com / heartratemonitorsUSA.com) Even FitBit's home site has a 6-8 week backorder, Brookstone was shipping by the end of the month. Best Buy has it but won't…

I have the older "Ultra" and as much as I didn't think I used or cared about mine, I found that I do use it more than I expected. But it all depends on what you expect out of it? It's a great pedometer, a useful tool to see how much movement you do in a day, guess it might help track sleeping patterns (mine would NEVER…

I make sure I get a protein shake after my workouts (mainly weight lifting), but water and Biofreeze, plus this knobby roller bar things I got from Target. When I get home from the gym, I use that w/ Biofreeze (basically advanced Icy Hot) over any muscles that I think are gonna hurt. Usually takes care of them BEFORE - and…

OK, first have you been to the doctor? If you do everything you think you should be and it's not helping, perhaps it's time for real help (medically). There can be several medical reasons for producing a "bad smell" from the body. Just a quick Google search produced: Diabetes, Liver or Kidney Disease, Hyperthyroidism,…

I normally ignore infomercials, unless I can't sleep and are bored out of my mind, but here are my answers: 1. Do you think these infomercials/commercials are intentionally trying to make you feel bad about your looks and bodies? Of COURSE! They want money, fastest way to do that is make you feel bad about yourself while…

There is a new one I was reading about, Mio Alpha (http://www.alphaheartrate.com/) that is supposed to work via light pulses passing thru your wrist (IE: no chest strap). I'd love to get one, but I've spent way too much on the 3 Polar ones (and only have 1 working) and the FitBit. I'm gonna keep an eye on it and see if it…

Skyrim (still - LOL) And seriously considering re-picking up DA - never did finish the entire series. I miss that game

All depends - if it continues, say another week or two, or if it gets stronger, then yes. Go get it checked out. Otherwise depending on amount & intensity of what your doing, it could be your body complaining at you. But.... if it doesn't go away, do get it looked at. For now, drink that water, after your workouts take…

Well, the last person who did this was a friend, so when they made a face at my brussel sprouts - I tackled them and pinched shut their nose. When they opened their mouth, I shoved a sprout in there then covered their mouth. They ate it and I got off them.... and now they ask when I am gonna make them again. BUT... this…

Anything weill help, even going out and doing some walking (maybe 2-4 miles) a day can help, that's how I started and I was at 295. Now I hit the gym hard (cardio, then weight lifting, then more cardio - and I run/jog when I have the energy). Heck, I even play a few games on my Xbox 360 - anything that gets you up and…

I'm not anywhere that tall myself, but both of my younger sisters are 5'9" & 5'11", the shorter is 200 herself and really doesn't look "big" so I fully understand you. (giggle - I would have been taller if not for my scoliosis - silly spine) I myself, want to aim for the 160-170 mark - my BMI tells me I'm supposed to be…

And this is why something is off. AVG cal burn on "gym" day 700-900, 3 times a week (300-500 on the 4th day) USING a HRM (calculation for WL). If I eat 1700ish, I can't even lift the weight I did the week prior, even less reps. I also wasn't able to even run 5min before I was exhausted and HR spiked too high. It probably…

So if I understand right (which I doubt) the 1718 would be daily cal goal & not to eat back exercise? Which if it's right means I won't have the energy for my lifting - I've tried dropping down to 1750 (used the Katch numbers before) and I was exhausted, couldn't get thru half my workouts, had concentration & sleeping…

Org fat % was 51% for Miffin - St Jeor. Wow, downloaded that sheet and filled in the numbers, it came back with: BMR = 1406 TDEE = 2350 TDEG = 1718 (26.9% deficit based off 58 lb left to loose & 44% heavy cardio to lifting ration)

Ok, for the last few months I have been trying to eat at a -20% TDEE. During this time I have also picked up weight lifting, in addition to cardo. I haven't really lost much, inches yes - pounds not really (less than 10 in 4 months). If I understand everything correctly, using Scooby's site, my numbers are as follows: BMR…

I have showers at work, but I still honestly don't want to: change, walk/run, then shower & change in the hour that is my lunch time. Part of it has to do with VA summers & high noon sun (I get sunburned easily & badly), other part is I know the Co-workers would "talk" about me being "that" person.... like the One other…

Fine, then I need a life time of pain meds, some major anti-diarrhea meds and an epi pen. You provide me with those, plus a job that doesn't mind me being sick 3-5 days a week, I'll eat every thing under the sun. Until then, sorry, I will choose to NOT eat the things that make me sick or threaten to honestly kill me (like…

1.5 hours on Yadnom.... sounds about right - LOL :D (and Yadnom = Monday backwards, because doesn't Monday always feel backwards anyways?)

Walkers is the only one I can think of, but good luck finding that in stores. Oh, if you have a Trader Joe's around, they have one but I'm on sure on the Carb levels. I use Gold Standard Whey - I can find it locally in GNC's and other supplement stores, but ONLINE it's much cheaper. Mix it w/ a fiber supplement & almond…
