Exactly. Guys, I think OP just had an agenda here, this really doesn't seem sincere (or even like a legit user account).

Thank you guys so much for all the suggestions! I've been looking at Happy Herbivore's stuff and I'm going to try that crockpot idea, wrangler, thanks. :) Also, @xo_jenny, I love those steam in the bag veggies! My finance somehow has high blood pressure at 25 though, so I'm trying to cook more and get away from all the…

THIS. 100x, this.

It's actually a fake thing some trolls started to get girls to feel bad about themselves and/or take pictures of themselves in bikinis: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/a-bunch-of-internet-trolls-are-trying-to-make-bikinibridges

Ok, congratulations then, I guess.

Oh, and here's another resource that might work for you. The site ensures authenticity independently so it's more reliable than eBay or something if you want to go the preowned route: http://www.idonowidont.com/buy-discount-engagement-rings

When I got engaged on my 21st birthday, we got a lab created diamond set from here: http://www.diamondnexus.com/engagement-wedding-rings It was really elaborate and way bigger than anything we could have afforded, it had beautiful craftmanship, and we didn't have to deal with the ethical problem or the crazy-expensive…

You get really excited when you see sale stickers in the veggie meat section, but then immediately bummed out when you realize it's only the Moringstar Chick'n nuggets, Chik patties, Buffalo wings and Veggie Corn Dogs. (This is how I figured out that none of those are actually vegan. :frown: Also, thanks for this list,…

Don't mind me, just commenting because I have the same question and I want to save these great responses. Thanks OP and everyone who answered! :)

I used to think grunting was a show-off thing-- maybe because I've mostly been exposed to those types of "hear them across the gym through headphones" guys who grin and give you the "wassup" head-nod when they get your attention-- but when I started using weights (and I don't even lift a crazy amount) sometimes it is hard…

THIS. I really appreciate this thread because usually I just suffer for a few days, mope then hate exercise, but I'm glad to see some ideas for helping this because today I'm HURTING. The only thing I can add is a resounding second to this point-- the longer I sit still, the more my leg muscles refuse to flex and send…

Oh man, I completely feel your pain. I went vegetarian in middle school and I got everything from kids pretending their hamburgers were mooing at me (how this was supposed to make the case for eating them, I still don't know) to being the only person of my race at a barbecue and having a bunch of kids look at me with…

I just wish someone had TOLD ME that this could/would happen! I never saw stretch marks on anyone on TV, in movies, magazines, etc. I got a few of the little slivery ones on my hips when I became a teenager, but I had no idea they could look even close to the ones in the pic that has been posted a few times here. When I…

Also, there's a cool "21 Day Kickstart" thing that my mom lost 17 pounds doing. Here's their Facebook page, there's a book that goes along with it: https://www.facebook.com/21DayKickstart

Yeah, I never got that whole "I had to go back! Iron/protein deficiency!" thing. I'm sure a few people have rare conditions that made this occur, but more likely I'd probably bet they just missed bacon. (Which is fine, but just be honest about it.) I've been a vegetarian for 15 years, for a few of them I earned awards…

Are you saying this for all athletic / weight goals or just your own? Do you have any sources to back that up? I don't have a strong option either way, I'm just trying to learn the best way of doing things. I was under the impression that a mix of both was most beneficial to me, but if I'm wrong, please enlighten me! ("Jus…

@snugglesnax- I've heard really good things about 30 Day Shred, but finding a free workout is important to me, especially if the results are similar. Lately I've had extra time to workout, but less money to afford it! :embarassed: @pcdoctor- Where do you find HASfit? I'd really like to check it out! :smile:

I'd definitely like to join, and I weighed in this morning, so I'm ready to go! :)

Ok, cool. What's the plan?

So P90 is where we should start? I want to do Insanity eventually but I'm starting from 0 endurance right now, so is that what you guys recommend to work up to it? I'm a former basketball player and fairly healthy (though really fat now). I get bored with those easy 1, 2, step, clap" type things, which is why Insanity…

Hi from Philly! :flowerforyou:

I'm guessing you may have already moved, but you're gonna love West Philly (the obvious choice for you hip-cats with a family and wanting a close proximity to UPenn. Baltimore Ave has a bike lane (there aren't enough in the city, sadly) they have farmers markets all over, and do cool free concerts / shows in Clark Park.…

It's so cool that you're doing this! Do you guys do other stuff besides running though? I love the idea of working out with a group, but I don't think I'm very good at running with people. (I usually full-out sprint then fast-walk, and I'm really crappy at pacing.) The steps sounds like it would be an awesome group…

I wanted to ask this question too. I'm fat, broke, and live in a little apartment with downstairs neighbors (jumping around trying to work out at home wouldn't be very appreciated.) I don't understand free weights or know how to do anything with them, and I'm intimidated by the idea. (Even though I know "lifting heavy" is…

I think I just found my soul mates! I'm 5'11.5 and thought I was the only fat mostly-vegan around. (I've been a really strict ovo-lacto vegetarian for over 10 years, but lately I've been trying to be fully vegan.) (Also, can I just say how cool it is to have women with the same goal weight that I have? Or who at least…

Are you supposed to do it before or after you work out, or does it not matter? Also, what do you wear? I'm a little intimidated to try it, even though I know it might not even do anything...

You're right, fraud is bad, but it's an issue of desperation for most people, which shows you just how broken the system is. Also, they don't fine you (people trying to get medical help generally don't have any money) or imprison you (that would take up waaaay too much space in our already overcrowded prisons), they just…

P.S. I scarf down spinach, and you could too. :happy:

The "Twinkie diet" guy ate cans of veggies and a protein shake every day and stopped eating meat. (Vegetarians almost always have better cholesterol levels-- my BP and cholesterol is excellent even though I'm fat- I'd give you a bunch of links, but like last time, you probably wouldn't read them.) Not sure if you read the…
