Carrots but I still eat them all the time

Just go every day and try everything. My basic routine is alternating between arms & legs, but doing cardio and abs every time. :flowerforyou:

Interesting thread... I get to where I use my blender so many times in a day that I've sincerely considered buying 2-3 matching ones so I don't have to re-wash the parts between uses. So I've been considering the Magic Bullet. Hmmm...

Also... it's worth noting that 2.5lb per month weight gain is not horrible for the situation described, that's really only 2.5 lb gained per month for the whole year, with very special circumstances and understandable conditions. I bet she can knock it off faster than she gained it. :drinker:

I always peeled my carrots, but now my boyfriend just washes his off and eats it as is! I've been trying it, and surprisingly it's fine! I just peeled them because that's what mama taught me, I never put thought into it. I would wash them really good with a brush, though.

I don't think it's terrible to try to improve one another. My BF drives me nuking futs about the Grok Squat and barefoot running. He is always harping about how I could Grok Squat at work. Honey, I work in an office, in business clothes, with other educated professionals. I'm not Grok Squatting in the work chair. And I…

Ok... I guess there's a huge un-answered question here: Does your boyfriend even work out at all? The reason this works so well with my BF and I, is that we already worked out a lot when we met, and as part of our bonding explored each others styles of working out together. I started doing more Parkour, Lifting, and Sword…

Are you lifting in a gym? My boyfriend got me more involved in lifting (I already did it a bit in the gym, but now we do it 2-3 times a week together) by buying a standard barbell and weight set for the home. We shared for a couple of months (that was a pain, constantly changing the weights to accommodate our partner,…

This is true! After using the Biotherm I tanned, which even further reduced their visibility, and I felt so damn super confident. But I'll never forget those purple marks, and I'll never forget the joy of waking up and seeing them gone. I'm tempted to post a pic of my tummy now so you can see how you can't see them at all,…

I would love to share a story with you! Once upon a time Asa flew to Dallas for a job interview. She LOVED shopping at Bath & Body Works, and knew that North Park Mall in Dallas had a flagship store. I went to said store and purchased a $60 bottle of lotion by Biotherm for the strechmarks. I was very much so in doubt that…

Personally, since I work, and you do too, I like to put in about middle effort. There's no way possible, nor would I try to imply there is, a way for me to cook three meals a day. I can re-heat leftovers, and I love my leftovers. Try cooking like double recipes and eating leftovers for lunch at work to start with. But when…

It's really a matter of how far you will push yourself. You could literally spend $20 and eat all week if you will go through and cook and chop and eat the exact same thing over and over most the time. How much time are you willing to put in? How low of budget? I prefer what to me is middle-budget. I couldn't eat rice,…

What does DP mean? I mean... I know what I think it means... And it ain't Dr. Pepper!

:-O

Norman, OK: 1) You know what "Don't Edmond My Norman" means and support it wholeheartedly 2) You save the foot ball schedule so you know exactly when not to attempt leaving your home 3) You have lived in, lived next to, been to, or partied in a normal house with a half dozen hippies sharing it. ETA 4) You know it turns…

I've dated a guy who went through the same thing your son is. He would become abusive, and when I told him I'm not going to put up with abuse, he would say "It's not abuse until I **insert heinous thing ex-step-dad did here**" His mother had three boys. One is chronically unemployed and living on welfare, one is a drug…

^^ Nod.

:noway:

I bet you're also not aware that the church committed genocide against women in the burning times? I've never heard a church mention it, but plenty of history books do.

There's a mating signal? Whoa! What's the mating signal? I'm gonna do it! At sword practice tonight!

It looks to me like OP is on top of weighing. Here's some self-entered recipes: chickbrocmush casserole, 0.75 serving(s) chicken sausage lasagna, 0.25 serving(s) cauliflower mash, 1 serving(s) Here's items measured by gram: Chicken - Breast, meat only, cooked, roasted, 100 g Steak, Ribeye (Choice) - Costco, Kirkland, 12 oz…

I love hearing stories like this. It really re-enforces that not everyone is the same, and all kinds of other healthy ideas. :flowerforyou:

My boyfriend and I were stuck in a plateau for 6 months, he recently broke the plateau and has gone into the 170's! I'm still in the 180's but I will join him someday!

Yay!

I'm still trying to figure out some good macros, myself.

That sounds good...

Yes, my BF and I can literally eat the same things for days on end, both under calorie restriction, both exercising together, and he'll drop about a pound a day, while me nothing. It is far more challenging for women to lose weight than men because our bodies are designed to retain fat. Just keep at it. If you can lose…

I never considered microwaving it! I just cut it in half, scrap seeds, cover in olive oil, salt, pepper, bake for like 45 minutes. I will have to try the microwave!

Working out peaks hormones. They might think you're sexy. They might want to look like you some day, and feel greatly inspired by watching you work out. They might plan on copying your motions and form on an exercise they've never tried before when you're done. They might be people who just like watching other people. They…

Yeah, I'm just wondering if I stick to my normal M-F routine on the weekends if it will result in less extreme of fluctuations. I know there will be fluctuations, but I'm thinking, if I have 2-3 coffee and 2 teas a day on the weekdays at work (big time diuretics), than one or none on the weekend, on top of the supplements…
