I'm 5' 9". I wore a size 10 or M/L top and a 14 bottom because of my hips. Best thing I did was swim. I went swimming for an hour 3-4 times/week and within a month I dropped 2 inches around my hips, my cellulite reduced in appearance and my thighs were becoming toned. I know we're into October now but if there is a…

Hello! 5' 9.5", SW: 200 (2010), CW: 185, GW: 165 I made it down to 172 several months ago but then had to up my steroids again so I ended up gaining some of it back : / P.S.- See that red dress? That's my wedding dress :) I think I look pretty good there!

Really? If you don't like them, then don't own one. Pit bulls are not the vicious creatures they are made out to be. No living creature deserves to be hurt, abused, poisoned, maimed, etc due to someone's ignorance and/or intolerance towards them. It's people who think like you do that gives mankind a bad name. Your mother…

5' 9"- starting weight is 185. Goal weight is 160ish. Good luck everyone :)

Hello! Been a veg several years now (and I'm also a licensed nutritionist). Instead of using regular pasta, try using tofu noodles. It tastes like a regular noodle but is very low cal and minimal carbs. Just don't deprive yourself of carbs as they are 1 of 3 macronutrients your body needs (the others are fat and protein)…

It "bumps" the post to a current status. If no one has posted in awhile, a post can get buried. Bumping it brings it to the top of the list on some boards, or to the recent posts section.

I'm 26 and the thought of being 30 in 3.5 years scares the crap outta me! Where did the time go????

True Blood, American Dad!, and Family Guy. Those are the only shows I will follow on a regular basis and not get sick of. I used to like Dexter but then it got old & repetitive.

Me too! I have my last 15-20 to drop.

Grad student. Luckily my degree is in nutrition & food science so I know better when it comes to making the right eating choices. It is SOOOO easy for campuses to aid in weight gain because they offer pizza, ice cream ,etc. During mid-terms and finals our campus had all you can eat breakfast buffet for 48 hours (seriously,…

You're both right (sorta). Your skin is semi-permeable and won't absorb everything. Source: husband is a doctor

My personal trainer told me the only way to get rid of cellulite (no matter your size or muscle tone) was to lift a large barbell like this: http://www.masterfile.com/stock-photography/image/671-02102071/Barbell-bent-over-row-exercises-%28Part-2-of-2%29

I'm from the Mitten too and now living in South Carolina. We had to move for my husbands residency at MUSC. Born & raised in Metro-Detroit :)

Hello! I'm from the USA, 12 year old stuck in a 26 year old body (I swear I'm a big kid)... feel free to add :)

It's a terrible feeling to lose a pet. I had to put my 3 year old kitty down the week before Christmas. Hardest thing I've ever done :( I'm grateful for the 3 years I had with him, I can't even imagine how hard it must be to lose a little one that was only several weeks old. Big hugs to you. :heart: There's a poem you…

I'm 5' 9" and I won't wear a heel taller than 3". 1. I lack the coordination to wear anything higher and 2. My husband is 6' so I try not to be taller than him. If I'm with friends, I've rocked a 5" wedge (easier to walk in). The asparagus comment was awesome. I laughed so hard, I almost puked. If you're comfortable…

Hello! We're already friends but I thought I would comment on this. I am a vegetarian (have been for many years and it's not for ethical reasons...meat grosses me out)...I am also a nutritionist. Meat is not bad for you if you 1. Buy from local farmers that don't feed their animals bi-product, pump them full of steroids…

I had my diary set to public for awhile and all I got was unsolicited advice, nutrition "counseling", and other various annoyances...similar to what you mentioned when you said you would offer healthier eating options, etc. I am a nutritionist. I have a college education in nutrition (even says so on my profile!) so I…

Hello! I, too, am a fellow veg :) No fish/seafood though (I get creeped out!). But I do love me some chocolate and cheese! Mmmmmm.

Nutritionist/food scientist! The best part about my field is being in the kitchen. I love creating new & fun recipes for my patients that are also healthy! The only time I get physically exhausted (or even break a sweat) is when I have a lot of things being prepared at once (e.g. various foods) Otherwise it's mostly done…

Correct. My husband just graduated as a Pharm.D. so he'll make roughly that much a month. His friends who graduated last year though, who make that much said they pay about 30% in taxes. That's not to say $7K/month is a meager amount, it's still enough to live comfortably and have some disposable income to travel, have a…

Quote: [/quote]Uh. Animals are humanely killed, they are not "tortured to death". I have been to slaughterhouses and have seen it firsthand. I take exception, too, to your claim that animals were put here by God for us to eat. We are animals. We love to imagine that we're special, but I think that's bull****. We are no…

^^ Agreed! You def. have more definition in your waist and your face looks smaller. Keep up the awesome work!!! I know how discouraging this whole process can be but you just gotta keep you chin up and keep on going. You're doing a wonderful job :)

I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's not nuts or crazy at all. Our pets are essentially our children. We take care of them & love them. I had to put my sweet Eddie down right before Christmas and that was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. He was only 3 when he died (he had FIP, a fatal feline disease). I loved that…

Hi! I'm a 24 y/o veg too! :) My stats are different than yours: 5ft 9.5in, 172 lbs. I am a clinical nutritionist so if you ever have questions, please ask!

Hello! I'm a clinical nutritionist and this is a very common question that my patients ask me. I suggest tofu noodles. Sounds gross but they're actually delicious & nutritionally sound. They're perfect for pad thai as well as spaghetti or in soups. I've only seen them in high end health food stores but I'm sure you could…
