I think I have fibromyalgia but I haven't been diagnosed yet. Im not asking if I do, Im wondering what kind of work outs are best for those who do or what to expect when I start working out again.. Thanks for your imput, that is really good to know that working out consistently doesnt hurt you so much. I would rather work…

I eat a lot of fruit, especially watermelon, bananas, and blueberries. They curb my cravings for baked desserts. My mom was always baking sweets and treats so I've had to train myself to not crave them. So far so good.

...I am loved and have people to love. I'm alive, have freedoms, and so many gifts I don't know which ones to use! Oh, and I have a gym membership and seeing results. :)

Size 3, sometimes a 2 depending on brand. But they're a little snugger than they were a year or two a go which is why I am trying to lose. So far so good! I am getting there :)

Sometimes water and fiber are not enough...... Try magnesium. The powdered kind you can get at a supplement store. Try the ionic fizz magnesium (a triple dose) or magnesium serene (double dose). Someitmes IBS with constipation can be caused by a magnesium deficiency. If you start feeling nauseated, then you can cut back on…

For sure... It's frustrating how hard it has been to lose "the last 10 pounds". I rarely eat out and rarely eat sweets, so it's difficult to tighten up an already pretty decent diet.I have to admit, though, that I wont give up my coffee! Lots of cardio and 2 hour a day workouts seem to be working. And stress reduction!

I lost and inch in my hips. There was a time when I could do 20 plus push-ups and I can do 5 non-girly ones again! My abs are sore for the first time in a long time. I lost a lot of feeling after my c-section. Making progress.

Very helpful.

Cashews and almonds and pecans. They're all delicious but I have to be careful because I can easily go overboard with them.

A lot of walking and pilates did it for me.

1. I'm a perfectionist which makes it hard for me to take time to relax. Even if I'm watching a movie...which rarely happens, I have to be doing something productive. I have my parents to "thank" for that. It's good but not good all the time. I'm always multitasking to the point of exhaustion. 2. I'm shy. 3. I think I'm…

I'm not sure, but it's motivating so I appreciate the calculation regardless.

If protein makes up more than 30% of your daily calories then no it's not okay.. Too much protein can cause kidney problems, you can actually lose muscle mass and minerals due to dehydration. Actually just studied this as I am preparing for a degree in dietetics.

Seriously? The "ultimate" food sin. Lol :) Oh hun, I think you will be fine. I'd hate to know what you'd do if you were to experience one of my cheat days.... ;)

1. wild blueberries 2. spinach 3. bananas 4. peanut butter 5. eggs 6. protein powder 7. strawberries 8. red bell peppers 9. avocados 10. chicken

I like to spread mine on a banana instead of on bread. Or freeze a banana and add almond milk, a little peanut butter and cocoa powder. That's one of my favorite treats!

Yep! lol. I lose weight in my upper body first and boobs were always the first to go. However, I much preferred being in shape. If it bothers you that much, work out for the smokin' hot bod and get some new boobies as a reward. I know this isn't popular opinion but whatever makes you happy...

Try meetup.com . When I moved to a new city, I knew no one and all of my new best friends are from a group that I joined on the site.

I started keeping track of this awhile ago. Usually 3-5 lbs for me and it takes a week to go away. I stopped weighing myself because it's not fun to wonder if actually *gained* all that weight. Good luck.:)

Might help if you use something other than milk. I use water in my smoothies with some spinach and it still tastes just as good. Not only will it reduce sugar but a lot of calories too!

When I was working full time.. I'd buy those frozen grilled chicken breasts, microwave them and add it to a salad with a hard boiled egg and chopped veggies and an apple and piece of cheese on the side. It kept me pretty full and I have a big appetite.

9 your eyes are stunning :)

A detective/crime-fighter. :) Instead I'm saving the world with my superhero mom abilities while making A's in school. ha ;)

Clearly these people feel that they can trust you or that you can offer a positive word of advice in some way. I would take it as a compliment and an opportunity to help someone. We ALL need a listening ear from time to time. If it's turning into gossip then what I do in those situations is say, "I'd rather not talk about…

Salty and sweet is one of my favorites but I'd much rather have haagan daz salted caramel truffle ice cream. If i''m gonna splurge it better be worth it! ;)

My favorite: saute lots of seasoned leeks, garlic, spinach, and roma tomatoes. Add egg whites and garlic feta cheese and put under the broiler. So delicious!

My name is Alisia and I'm looking for a workout buddy for biking, cardio (hiit walking, maybe running?) or high intensity interval training like crossfitt or bodyrock/zwow type stuff. I'm not a runner but would like to try. I'm also thinking about joining a yoga class. Would love to meet people in the area. :)

Japanese, Thai, or Mexican. I'd have a hard time choosing that's for sure!

i'm 5'5'' and my GW is 118. Focusing on toning and fat loss.

Hello there beautiful. I know how it feels to be lonely sometimes, I just messaged you and I would love to chat and be a friend. (((hugs))) to you and lots of sunshine!
