Hey you're young and you have your whole life ahead of you! We can do this together :) I've been really damn hard break ups and although I couldn't eat, I do understand emotional eating. Hang in there! It will get MUCH better.

Dear Co-Worker, Why do you close your door everytime someone somes and talks to me in *MY* office next door? Do you hate the sound of my voice that much? Well guess what, maybe I don't like your voice much either. Yours Truely, The perfectly normal co-worker next door.

I don't think I'm cut out for hot yoga, I did it a few summers ago 4x per week for 6 weeks and never got better at it. I was dizzy and light headed every time I went, no matter how much/little food/water I took in. There is a class that is my favourite. Sattva yoga is a relatively new hybrid type of yoga that is close to…

Awesome, go to love when that happens!

Look at those calves! OMG.

Looking good! I wan't to be just like you some day ;)

And just to be clear. Yoga is not always relaxing, the type I do (Ashtanga) is very vigourous. Check it out, or look up a vid on you tube :)

I'm not a pilates person (tried it - didn't like it) but I am a HUGE yoga person. Yoga really tones you, reduces cellulite, makes you stronger and more flexible and most importantly teaches the importance of breathing properly. Admittedly it's tough to pick up at first, especially as a bigger girl I find I just can't get…

I'm using this website, works pretty well I find. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

There's a few different yoga's in this calculator, I just took some of them and inputted them on MFP for me to put in as needed. http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc

I went to the mayan rivera in Mexico for my friend's wedding, it was perfect. And it's technically in the Carribean. The resort was the Bahia Grande Principe Tulum. As for websites, try this site: http://weddings.theknot.com/pwp/pwp_offers.aspx?MsdVisit=1

I just asked this on my feed today, and I think I'm going to try it. It makes sense that you're body should get at LEAST what it would need if it were asleep for 24hrs. So that is going to be my minimum, and I'm just going to watch what type of foods I'm putting in my body.

It's just water weight, you'll put it back on.

This pressure is hard on your spinal column and nerves of your lower back. When we have poor posture, the pressure is even worse. We then place real strain on the ligaments of our lower backs. Many muscles are involved in sitting. Back and abdominal muscles help us to bend and twist, but they also help to hold us upright.…

It's been proven that unless you're doing some bouncing around or exersizes on it, in the course of one day it only burns an extra 100 cals. The bad thing is that it can create posture problems...

Can you walk to work? Walk somewhere at lunch? Workout on weekends? Sometimes when I'm bagged after work I'll relax for a little bit then I'll bust out my handy mini trampoline and weights. Taadaa! Or hey, even turn on some tunes instead of the TV when you get home and dance while you make yourself a healthy meal! :)

I think we are similar. I started off at 190 now I'm down to 166. I know what you mean about the flabby, but just being able to have more room in my coat and to fit into size 30 jeans is totally worth it. We need to keep going. I figure 15 more lbs would be perfect for me. I want to still be curvy but much more toned. Our…

LOVE IT! Thanks!!

Yeah I couldn't get my face to work on the uploader thing. Not sure what the deal is.

If you're looking for something more dynamic - Ashtanga and Power yoga are the fastest and most cardio intesnsive. For something in between, Yoga flow or Vinyasa Yoga. And for something more relaxing and stretch based, Hatha or Yin style yoga. I live and breathe yoga, if you have any more questions feel free to message me…

Not unless you'd like to get bed bugs.

I find that GAP is the worst. I bought size 30 skinny jeans last year and they are REALLY tight on me still. Last week I bought another size 30 skinny jean from GAP in a different wash (thinking I can shrink into them, haha) and they are noticeably baggier like one size bigger. I think retailers are trying to make bigger…

I'm pretty sure I'm the only Canadian that hates Rush. LOL

Wait you're a grandma?! Watch out men might start calling you a GILF ;)

You really do look 20 years younger.... and HOOOTTT

I'm quite technologically saavy, so digitalyssa seemed like a good online name. :)

I'm confused...

As a present to myself for quitting my second job I think I will join a cross-fit gym in the new year. I can only workout in group classes, it's the only way I stay motivated.

After a month of doing hot yoga 3x /week I found I firmed up ALOT, it's probably the water loss but you can definitely notice a difference. It's really good for your cardiovascular health, but at the same time EVERY time I went I felt like I was going to die. I've been practicing yoga for a while and after a month I still…
