I haven't tried them yet, but I keep hearing good things about kale chips. One recipe I saw involved kale, salt, and cayenne pepper. Sounded great and really easy.

Congrats for pushing through and not giving up on it! Definitely a successful lift IMO. If it was me, I would do 175 again next workout and see if I could decrease the rest time. I wouldn't drop weight unless I was still struggling with it on the third try. Just my two cents. Also, are you using chalk? I found that it…

Water, water, and more water! Also, I find a small amount of nuts (especially almonds and pistachios) help keep my stomach from eating itself in between meals.

Great job from a fellow Texan! An awesome NSV!!! I was also an 18 - 20, now 12 -14 and still plugging away. Keep up the good work!

I just try to plan ahead for the weekends a little. I'll eat 1400-1500 calories during the week, which is about my TDEE-20% (at sedentary) and not eat back my exercise calories. The more I work out during the week, the more I can indulge on the weekend without the guilt of going over my weekly goal. Of course, if I'm…

I can't believe I never thought of this! I love it!

I second the greasy pizza and chinese food, but what I really crave is warm fresh gooey cinammon rolls on Sunday morning after a late Saturday night. We'll see what happens in the morning!:ohwell:

I'm a diet soda addict! I prefer Diet Coke, but I get Diet Pepsi free at work, so I probably drink that more. I also drink at least 8 glasses a day of plain old water. I usually have a bottle of water and a glass of diet soda sitting next to me whether I'm at work or at home. Sometimes I use Crystal Light or Mio. My…

Playful

@Keri - Cold!

@B3 - Hot Mama!

Ditto this. Plus a lot of beer!

Great job!!! You look beautiful!

You all are right. That was very judgemental of me and uncalled for. I apologize. Sincerely. It's been a rough day and it hit a nerve with me and I just took it out on a young girl who asked an innocent question. I'm sorry.

Wait a minute, it just clicked that you said your stretchmarks are from your pregnancy, you're 18, and your biggest worry is whether you should wear a half shirt? I think your priorities are a little skewed...

I second this! Around the house? Fine. In public??? H*ll no...

I just did my second workout of the StrongLifts 5X5 program last night, so I've now done all of the exercises at the starting weights. I consider myself a reasonably strong woman, but I couldn't complete 5X5 of the Barbell Row with 45 lbs (at least not with good form). I'll probably try 40lbs next time I do the rows. The…

I think I love you!!!
