One piece of 85% or 99% dark chocolate does wonders to satisfy if it's absolutel necessary. Other than that I actually just plan my snacks. If I feel like I need something sweet today, I spend the day watching what I can eat and what not to be within my calories and macros. Sometimes I just shrug and eat an apple, calories…

Got better at doing a handstand and also got some proper work out~!

Very, very true. We have an elliptical at home and that thing, despite taking age/height/weight, actually says I burn 800 kcal in just 30 minutes. Right. High intensity and all, that's just ridiculous.... MFP gives me less than 300, which is a lot more accurate....

I don't see what's the big deal with friends of the opposite sex. I'm quite a flirt sometimes without even intending to and I spend lots of time with guys, simply because my interests are fairly different from those of most women. It's also a matter of behaviour. I don't want someone to reprimand me about my manners when…

"Molecules can absorb and emit energy by altering the state of motion of their constituent atoms - they can be made to vibrate and rotate. Again, the energy associated with either motion is quantized, and molecules possess rotational and vibrational energy levels in addition to those due to their electrons. Only polar…

Nonsense. Heating it in an oven or microwaving it - you basically just blast your food with electromagnetic radiation one way or another, only that microwaves send a somewhat specific wavelength to heat it up and your oven throws a whole lot of them at said food. One uses a magnetron, the other uses black body radiation.…

Usually one slip-up doesn't bother me, be it a hair, a fly, or fishbones - working in a supermarket and the dissection course at school did wonders for me. There was a time I even thought raw meat was disgusting, but dissecting the heart of a cow and the eye of a pig does wonders..... It's just when the number of....…

Fitness advice: If you're really, really demotivated - and I suppose we all have these days - grab your mp3-player/ipod/whatever, turn on your favorite music and dance like an idiot. Always gives me some energy. Food advice 1: If you want to save calories preparing meat, instead of frying it in a pan try cooking it. 1 or…

My average is about 1.5 lbs per week. However, my weight fluctuates quite a bit, so it's really just an estimation. I lost roughly 6 lbs the first week, but gained 2 in the last and lost those 2 plus some again this week. It's complicated.... Also, I started with a lot less weight to lose (around 160 lbs). As for my stats,…

A remedy for my boredom~ :D 1. You're the size of an ant... what are you going to do? I'll be ninja!ant.... Well, ninja!ant-sized!person.... I'll creep up on people and spy on them. Hehehe. Of course, I'll have to find someone interesting enough first. Preferably someone with a good taste in everything, because no way I…

Cardio of any kind that doesn't include too much resistance. But why even bother? You won't turn into the incredible hulk without (hormones and) mountains of protein and if you want it to 'stop jiggling' then you better put on that muscle. This also has the bonus of a well shaped behind, because training legs exclusively…

I'm sad to say that there is no way to specifically make your calves smaller except for surgery. If your genetic disposition is to have fat stored at the calves then there's nothing you can do but reduce your body fat in general and hope the calves will slowly follow. It's mean, but that's the way it is. (I, for example,…

I'm German but some people apparently think I'm from Russia or another country.... I don't know why, though. Tall, pale, blue-greenish eyes, always in a hurry. I'm even a natural blonde, which you can sometimes see when the black grows out, so I can't get much more stereotypical German, really.... :huh: (Must be the…

Been there, seen that. While I agree that today's kids really need some verbal slap to the face for their lacking manners, it's not just them. When I was a kid other kids already called me fat, even compared me to a tank. They made fun of my skin, fun of my weight, fun of my style, fun of my liking for the sciences - you…

"Oh, I've got this medical condition [...]" Me too, it's called I-love-food-and-sleep-ness. It's a horrible, horrible thing.... :sick:

As long as the person takes good care of their hair anything goes. Nothing looks worse than hair bleached, straightened, curled, or dyed to death.... Maybe hair that hasn't seen shampoo in a few weeks, but that's something I count under 'not taken care of'. My personal preference is straight over curly and dark over…

Half an hour of working out and the snickers could be yours without a bad conscience. And some things are just worth it.... especially if they include nuts and chocolate....
-
Quite honestly? From what little I read of it, which isn't much, it's like a horrible, horrible, fanfiction. I really don't understand how something with such cheesy pron did actually get published.... No, just no. My hairdresser was speaking about it with one of her collegues yesterday, and it took all of me to not tell…

I have one on the left side and I'm seriously contemplating also adding the right one because it simply looks awesome. The worst was disinfecting it every day, felt like burning myself a new airway every time.... But they did heal quicker than the piercings through the cartilage-part of my ear.

Dream. If you can survive on it, are willing to take the risk, and have some starting point, I'd say it's always better to fight for what you enjoy doing most.

So far it's 11 pounds in 40 days. Still some months to go, but I'm satisfied so far~! (Although I still need some time getting used to the new size in clothes....)
-
I'm as pale as a chalk wall simply because I like this kind of look, but I have to admit it's incredibly relaxing. I don't think I'll change my behavior, though, I have no desire to look like some old leather couch in a few years. And boy, have I seen things.... I'll just get some color with some more ink, if needed…

Who said we all need to log for eternity? Losing weight isn't a static process, it's dynamic, it's some kind of change. Before I joined here I had already lost about 30 pounds and maintained without a problem for years, even lost slowly. I ate pizza and snacks and drank juice, the only thing I did was working out 5 days a…

Seriously. Seriously. It makes me want to punch puppies and drown myself in a sea of rubber ducks.

1. People that walk too slowly. I'm almost always in some sort of hurry and usually don't waste time walking slowly, so this is driving me mad. Especially if they suddenly stop mid-walk to chat. What the helly guys? Step aside, please? 2. People telling me things twice or more often without me asking them to - I am NOT…

I never quit counting calories, whether I work out or not only is a matter of how much I can eat. If I get my daily dose of Jillian I log it and automatically get a higher setting. There's even some kind of diet you can use for Ripped in 30, I bet that works for the 30DS as well~ For the 30DS I didn't take any days off,…

I did it last month, and I was sore as hell - but that didn't stop me. I was cursing like a sailor, but that usually was only outside of the actual work-out. Even if you keep going your muscles will adapt, that much I can tell you. By now (doing the Ripped in 30 with additional 2 kg per hand) I think the 30DS Lvl 1 would…

Since I sleep naked it would be kind of bothersome to stand up, get dressed, only to walk over to the bathroom and get undressed again for the weigh in..... :huh:

Pfft, it takes a lot to get me to move out of bed, and even more to wake me up. I was in the middle of a massive thunderstorm last year when we were camping. My friend was nervous and wide awake - I only woke up when it rained through the small window in our tent and the tarpaulin hit me straight in the face.... So I would…
