MFP says I should eat 1264 cals while that spreadsheets says I should eat 1890. Quite a big jump

Twilight series, Avatar, Harry Potter

Why did you feel the need to pick up your husband?? That seems very bizarre to me. Just go around surprise picking people up. Attention grab? ADD? If someone, even my BF surprise picked me up I'd freak out. Doesn't seem like something people would enjoy, as it's not very comfortable to have someone haul you over their…

I don't think you're supposed to find it appealing

I did that last month and my BF never shuts up about my butt.

I agree. Also, if you're dating someone your age, chances are he wont be ready to take care of a baby.

I do 45 mins to an hour of weights, 3 days a week followed by 20-30 minutes of cardio. Another 2 days a week I will do 45 minutes of cardio. I also switch up the type of cardio that I do so it's not "routine". Your body will get used to doing the same junk over and over again. Are you running or walking on the treadmill?…

I weight in Monday mornings, as I find it keeps me accountable throughout the weekend so that I don't cheat. Weighing in once a week keeps me in line, and I don't obsess over the fluctuations. I also take my measurements on the 6th of every month (no specific reason for the 6th, just the first day I took measurements). But…

Yeah I'd be careful with that. It is VERY true.

That's mine too! I also have mini goal rewards... For reaching 60 lbs on monday I bought a neon pink hoodie, and for 80 lbs I am getting neon Nike Asics.. When I get to my ultimate goal I will also be going on a big several week trip to the Maldives.

You should have punched him in the neck

Worst: "Awww you're so pretty now!' I was effin pretty before, ahole. "You're just going to gain it all back"... to which I replied "Oh, just like you did after you stopped Jenny Craig?" Best: "You're such a beautiful sexy woman" - Said by a very special man... Best and Worst : All of the attention I get from men. I've…

My local mall was giving away pedometers for the April step challenge and if you log your steps on their website you can win $2000 in fitness goodies. So far this month I am at 252 273 steps. Which I don't think is too bad considering I spend 40 hours a week sitting at a desk...

When I was 12 (and MAYBE 15-20 lbs overweight) my Grandma told me that if I didn't lose weight no one would ever love me. Sometimes people should shut their mouths. After that I didn't care about myself at all, and still fight the urge to believe what she said.

I agree. I'm getting attention from men I've been friends with for years. I'm still the same person as I was, and you didn't care about me then, so basically it's just because I was overweight that you didn't pay attention to me. I resent that.

You're supposed to drink half of your body weight in ounces a day. For some people 128 oz isnt that far away. Though if this person only weighs 120lbs they should be careful. You can potentially die from over drinking water. I had a friend who drank so much water, she diluted her blood and ended up in the hospital for…

Anyone on weight watchers who doesn't exercise has success with it. I know a woman who has lost 30 lbs on it and never exercises.

I love yoga. Some of my main fitness goals are yoga poses (for when I get to my goal weight). The handstand and handstand as well as the crow pose. I would never be able to do them now, and would most likely beak my neck trying. I do believe that yoga will help with weight loss. It loosens me up and helps me relax, but…

Thank god I've lost barely anything, except around the bust. I went from a 44C (nasty) to a 38C after 60 lbs lost in the past year.

Yes, eating gets your metabolism going. How else does it start up? Why do you think pretty much every nutritionist, bodybuilder, weight loss coach, and personal trainer says this? They all have shares in oatmeal?

When you eat dark meat, you are getting more calories and fat than when you eat the lean breast.. So how do you know what your calories and fat are for that item if you are lumping it all in to one?

People who say they WONT do something... Those are the ones that don't really want to be helped, so why should people waste their time? If you are serious about something, you will do it right. Weigh and measure portions, eat the right types of food. Get your calories. Drink water, take vitamins to suppliment when you are…

This is so gross...

11. Might be less if there was a face haha

Also, you should try to do your cardio after lifting, as lifting will help burn up the carbs you've eaten prior to working out, which means your cardio will use stored fat as energy it needs.

I wouldn't focus on using machines. If they have dumbbells and barbells, then you are set. Machines don't let you use your full range of motion, so you are not building the whole muscle. Some things you can do are: Squats (for a nice bum) This includes jump squats, plie dumbell squats, bodyweight squats etc.. Alternate…

Muscle burns more calories than fat does. In short, if you have more muscle, though it may weigh more it will help you to lose fat that you do not want. Don't focus on 10 lbs. Focus on measurements. Lean muscle will make you more toned so that you are smaller. A person who is 130 lbs with a low percentage of body fat will…

I don't think that's why she's asking. It's important to make goals so that you have something to aim for. Knowing how long it might take to get to your goal weight is a good way to know where to set your mini goals.

I'm Icelandic and even if I wear the highest spf I can find, I will burn. I am going to Cuba soon, and the only way for me to spend the first week in pain from a burn is to get a base tan before I leave. I WISH I could spend time in the sun and get a nice tan, alas, I cannot.

There's no way to get rid of them, but you can fade them. I've tried a few things and what I have found works best is ItWorks wraps.. I know I know.. An MLM scam right? Not really. I was a huge skeptic but tried one anyways. I lost an inch but also, stretch marks were faded.. I don't sell the stuff, but recently have tried…
