sushiforbrains

sushiforbrains because the answer to "What do you want to eat?" is always "sushi!" I have gone through so many usernames in my time on the internet that it is not even funny. Can't even remember them all.

Never thought to flavor it with MIO. Brilliant!

Zumba is great! A friend introduced me to classes and I went at least once a week for awhile. The first class I thought I was going to die. But the great thing about Zumba is that you don't even need to be a good dancer (I am definitely not!), just so long as you are going the right direction during the moving around…

Hi! I'm Jamie and my superpower is the ability to recognize and name almost every car on the road. I am still trying to figure out why I can do that, but my husband is pretty impressed by it, so I'll take what I can get! I have other powers too, such as convincing people that they should eat sushi. I've converted several…

Love all your goals! Good luck everyone! My goal is to lose at least 15 lbs this year, and be able to do some sit ups!

Oh my... This thread... ROFL. Seriously though, everyone knows you can't lose weight without a thighmaster and one of those spin gyms. Combined they are the MOST AMAZING workout you will ever get!

I might try this using avocado for the 'something creamy', I mean, if I am going to replace the fats with oil and cream cheese or mayo I might as well just use an avocado which I normally substitute for those other things anyway. (like tuna salad made with avocado and lemon juice instead of mayo, which looks a bit strange…

Avocados are great for so many things. I love to put half or so of an avocado in a small can of tuna with lemon juice and some spices, amazing tuna salad! I also use avocado in place of mayo on turkey burgers, and if I know I am going to have a day where I need a big breakfast, I make a sandwich with sliced turkey, tomato,…

Don't get discouraged, sounds like you are making great progress! If you are drinking more water than you used to that might be a tiny part of it but I'm willing to bet that you lost fat and gained muscle - that's awesome! Muscle is more dense than fat and so will take up less space in your body than the fat that it…

I started "growing" early and quickly, so by the time I got to high school I was just about into a D cup, and I'll be honest, if I lose a bunch of weight and much of my boobs go with it, it will take cosmetic surgery to make them not look like 90 year old boobs. My skin is just a wreck there because of the rapid growth. So…

I bet you will never guess what my favorite food is!

I'm not a movie person, so the last movie to make me cry was when I saw The Lion King (saw it in the theater when I was a teenager), still cry every time I see it when Mufasa is killed. I read The Time Traveler's Wife and even though it is a totally implausible story I still cried my eyes out at the end.

I just took some this morning. I have lost 14lbs so far and was feeling good about it, but the pics really gave me a kick in the pants. I have got to do so much more work!

I sometimes put lemon juice on my tuna and chop up whatever veggies I happen to have that sound good, put them in it, mix it up and then put it in an avocado half. Of course I usually eat that with a few crackers but you can just eat it with a spoon.

I would love love love to do Mamma Gkika from Girl Genius (actually, I would cosplay the hell out of pretty much any of the Foglio's female characters!) http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080425 or http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20111230

Make sure you are getting lots of protein and fiber! Everyone is different, but I have found that if I eat nothing but carby stuff for breakfast I will be super hungry 2 hours later, but if I have a protein shake and some fruit, or eggs and rice as my first meal of the day I am good for much longer. If you really are…

@ gingersnap: have you considered making a batch of cookie dough, baking only half of it and then freezing the other half for later?

Oreos. Large quantities of guacamole.

I ... fall into both of those catgories. heh. I cringe when my almost-elderly crazy office-mate looks things up in the phone book and takes more than one minute to do so. I want to jump out of my chair and yell "Red fire woman don't you know what google is!?" (would likely be more profane than that but you know.) I've…

I live in a tiny one-bedroom apt with my hubby and I have at least 5 computers in there that are in various states of function/assembly. I love to take things apart just to see if I can put them back together again. I have used or tried probably 15 different Linux distros, including building one up from a core install. I…

I am a totally uncoordinated awful "dancer" (yeah, so bad it has to have quotes!) but I don't care and neither does anyone else in my class. I love the classes! But I think I might have to get a kinect and a game for extra zumba time because in the long run it will save me some money and allow me to get it in when I can't…

Those stars are definitely real, either recently done or they got infected and never healed properly.

My ex used to tell me all the same crap. When I caught him cheating and left he told me that "I would never have what we had with another man." I said good! I can do better than your ****. And I did. I am almost 1 year into a marriage with a man who loves me no matter what. Haven't seen or talked to the other one since and…

everything, really. my parents are southern. so pasta and potatoes and fried chicken and everything bad. sweet potato casserole with so much sugar in it that you get a cavity just from coming within 5 feet of the stuff. oreos and raspberry zingers. I still looooove pasta and potatoes but have cut way back on that and…

guy at about 1:10 looked pretty into it. :)

The "toning sticks" are for Zumba Toning class routines, which differ a bit from regular zumba routines, if I remembert correctly.

I usually use Dove in any scent (currently plum and sakura blossom) although I mostly use the sensitive skin kind, as it is one of the few brands that doesn't give me a rash/hives/etc. I think I might have to give that homemade one that was linked here a shot. Although I don't know how well it will stand up to the humidity…

That looks like such fun, tulip!

I have pretty much always been a little overweight, but I really packed it on between 2004 and 2009 during a bad time with a useless ex I almost married, losing loved ones, and getting laid off from my job. I have been see-sawing back and forth between 170 and 190 since then (I get up to 190, tell myself I have to do…
