  • I LOVE all but #2 on you. Those are so fun and sexy! Take your hair down and have it curl a bit and wear that big smile you've got and you're good to go anywhere!!
  • No worries, I don't talk about working out or my weight loss with my boyfriend either because to him, any weight I lose is weight that I should have never needed to lose in the first place. He's never had to lose weight - it's a battle he has never experienced. So, I hang out here and make friends that will encourage and…
  • Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning (the best, i even put it on eggs!) Garlic powder Lemon Pepper Fresh lime juice Cilantro Cocoa/Chile powder blend (amazing on steaks) light italian dressing cinnamon cayenne pepper (great on pasta and acts as a major thermogenic you'll sweat just sitting there!) that's pretty much…
  • PRetending I'm in a bikini on the beach with an ice cold beer! :drinker:
  • How often did you re-apply? Is it sweat/water proof? Is it out of date?
  • "Yeah I used to date a girl who would literally spend days trying to figure out what to wear on a date with me. Her dad was super rich so she had a lot of money... we'd go to the mall and she'd spend like $3000 in one trip. She also had a Trans Am that was really nice. We would always go do stuff and she'd pay for a lot of…
  • ME TOO!! Also: Freakonomics and Stuff Mom Never Told you!!
  • I listen to a podcast "Stuff You Should Know" from HowstuffWorks.com... while I workout. When I was 4 and 5, I used to quote Captain Picard's opening monologue with him during the start of Star Trek every evening. Nerditude: got it! :glasses:
  • Sooo.... has anyone actually posted a scientific source yet? if they did, I completely missed it. And now I'm hungry. Thanks, guys.
  • dude.. bump and a half!
  • I wear whatever will stay on me under my basketball shorts :blushing:
  • WOW! My dad used to drink that when I was little... blast from the past for me, lol
  • Well, look at it this way: You should eat lots of clean, whole foods to fuel your workouts and metabolism. So what's the point of pushing so hard that you puke it right back up? Doesn't do your body any good on the floor, does it?
  • The more weight I lose, the more attention/better treatment I get from men, especially my boyfriend. Oddly enough, the more weight I lose, the more women glare and 'throw daggers'. Win some, lose some. I just wanna get fit and be ME!:bigsmile:
  • Damn Yankees. I'll stick with Texas :laugh:
  • Upon joining the gym I attend, they asked me to meet with a trainer and get a fitness assessment and complimentary training session. The trainer did all my stats and asked me what my goals were. He then told me that I could never slim down enough to look like fitness athlete because I'm 5'9" and a mesomorph, and then that…
  • Get a copy of Tosca Reno's 'The Eat Clean Diet' - tons of recipes!!! she's fantastic. Baked Tilapia (I've got a great recipe for some flavorful fish!) Lean ground turkey with whole wheat pasta and diced roma tomatoes, fresh herbs. (good combo of protein, carbs, veggies since you will add a salad) Italian baked chicken…
  • If the rash appears where sweaty clothes rub your skin (waistband, collar, anywhere your clothes touch you, really) try Gold Bond powder. Does that help at all?
  • Due to schedule conflicts, I often don't get to make food for the following day. I found that on the website for Subway, they have a feature where you can build your own sandwhich and it will give you the nutritional profile for it as you go!! My favorite: 6" 9-grain wheat Subway Club. No cheese, not toasted (I like my…
  • When I do cardio, I get to go up the stairs to the treads or elipticals and bikes where I have full view of the rest of the gym. I have fun watching and observing - I can think of one girl inparticular who will go sit at a machine and put it on the lowest weight - 10lbs or less - and will sit and do reps just looking…
  • Well you know you don't enjoy it right now and I am sure you can rattle off all the reasons you don't like each exercise you've tried. So, here's a list of why you should LOVE exercise: 1. Weight loss (duh, right?) 2 Sculpting a sexy beast out of whatever you have now 3. You get to be selfish and set aside time…
  • Hey girl, I had the same problem. I'd go in like Rocky, ready to beat the hell out of weight loss, ready to take some punches and a week later, it would all be derailed. I'd get discouraged and demotivated by the boyfriend, exhausted by the job and had no one around me for support and encouragement when I really needed it.…
  • DUDE!! You have done an AWESOME job and I am totally, completely, beyond inspired!
  • Hey Miss!! I LOVE Jamie Eason! Her program is designed so that the first 4 weeks is used specifically for changing your eating and workout habits. You don't do any cardio because you want your body to use all available fuel for bulding muscle instead of cardio work. This is to help you start tightening, toning, lifting,…
  • Jamie Eason Jessica Paxon-Putnam (maybe just paxson/paxon now) Marzia Prince Trish Warren Dana Linn Bailey Jenna Renae Brandy Dahl Christina Lindley Ava Cowan Laura Michelle Prestin I could go on and on.... these ladies LIFT! And they are freakin' gorgeous. They inspire the hell out of me, especially Jamie and Brandy!
  • Go get a copy of "The Eat Clean Diet" by Tosca Reno. Read it, make notes in it, highlight, etc. It's got recipes and teaches you how to make this a lifestyle, not a "diet" ( i know it's in the title, but it really is a lifestyle). Tosca's books changed MY LIFE! I started seeing results immediately and I loved it, haven't…
  • Get yourself a pair of hand grips - the little things you can sit there and squeeze to help strengthen your grip. You can take one anywhere in your bag and work it while you watch tv, walk or work, etc. That way, you're actually working on your grip instead of relying on straps.
