Oh so true! :laugh:

I had mine taken out in 2004 laproscopically. Had it out on a Friday and was back to work and taking my finals by Monday. I slept most the day Friday after I'd gotten home and then went to the mall Saturday. I felt like I'd done a thousand crunches but even that soreness had gone away within a few days. Also, I think I…

What frustrates me is i've NEVER been a pop drinker at all. I know a lot of people that say, "when they cut out pop they lost X amont of weight... " I may have a Coke Zero once a month, maybe and I'm hanging on to about 15 extra pounds I can't shed!

All I can say is keep doing what you're doing. Your weight can fluctuate daily with no real reason. There are times that I've fluctuated 5-7lbs doing nothing differently. It can be frustrating and deflating at times. One thing I did do is change my nutrient settings to be 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat. This is the…

We use to play Miami in basketball, they were in our high school conference for a while!

oh I'm sorry, you attended that "other" school!!! :laugh: J/K!!

Where in NE OK? I grew up in Claremore! Lived in Stillwater for 10 years and now live in Edmond!

I have heard before that women with PCOS have better success losing weight using a lower carb diet. I'm not suggestion a crazy low carb diet like Atkins, but really trying to cut out bread, pasta, baked goods etc. Trying to get your carbs from fruits and vegetables. Just an idea!

You might try getting resistance bands!

Diet and cardio is the only way you are going to lose the fat. However, strengthening your core can help improve your posture which can make you appear leaner!

IMO there is a lot of "do what I say, not what I do" in the medical world.

I am 5'7" - 5'8" and right now fluctuate between 145 - 148 but I have a smaller, althetically built frame (smaller upper body but larger legs from all the years playing soccer/basketball/softball/tennis, however the legs and bum are NOWHERE near as toned as they once were). Which by the way makes it almost impossible to…

I added chocolate protein to my coffee the other morning and it was great! I healthier version of a mocha! I think you could probably blend your vanilla protein, with some almond milk, some cocoa powder, coffee, and ice... It would probably make a nice frozen vanilla mocha!

My favorite ab excercise is the plank or even better do push ups! Push ups will help tone your upper body as well as your core. For your legs I suggest squats and lunges! Start out doing them with just your body weight and then as you get stronger add some dumbells. But both are areas are really going to be helped with…

Not trying to offend anyone but I get tired of hearing all these strange made up combination names. I think there are a lot of people that name their kids strange things just so they can say that there names are different. Do they really stop to thinking about if the kid is going to be able to spell his name by the 2nd…

YES! I am so glad to see someone else say this! I've given up trying to tell women that they will NOT get huge from lifting heavier weights!

People's bodies react differently to UTIs. As I said I had none of the "usual" symptoms except frequent urination and I was absolutely DRAINED all the time. It took me a while to finally go to the doctor and by the time I did she said I had the worst non-symptomatic UTI she had ever seen and it was no wonder I had zero…

I was the same way and finally went to the doctor about it. Come to find out I had a REALLY bad UTI. No other symptoms what so ever. May be worth talking to a doctor about to make sure there is not any internal problems going on!

Sounds like shin splints to me! What helped my husband is taking an aleve every day and icing them. Coming from my sister, who is a PA for a orthopedist, freeze dixie cups of water and then rub one on each shin until it melts. Now this is not fun and it makes a mess but i swear it helped my husband. You might also look at…

I make a really simple one but its really, really good! Chickpeas olive oil garlic lemon juice paprika a little salt I put all this in a food processor and blend! I add the olive oil as needed to get the consistency.

I have 4 (well technically 5)! I have a star wih my name below it on my hip, I have 3 lizards on my lower back, I have a cross between my shoulder blades, and a have orange and black stars on both sides on my ribs! I doubt I'll ever get any more, my husband is not so much into tatoos!

Britney Spears, Kei$ha, Lady Gaga, and Rhianna all have good dance beats that keep me motivated on the tread mill!

Agree with using the "light" version, that's all I use now and I can't tell teh difference! I can't stand the way the Fat Free tastes either.

Chili's use to have a Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Salad that was AWESOME! I'd always order it without the tortilla strips and the dressing on the side. The best part was the combo of pineapple and pico de gallo! They've quit making it now... I think they have a carribean salad but it just isn't the same!

I slice them both fairly thin and spray a little EVOO on them then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then I put in a 400 degree oven and roasted them till they turn pretty brown on the edges! YUMMY!

Don't worry about what anyone at the gym might think! Most of the time people aren't concerned what everyone else is doing in the gym and if they are its probably they want to get some ideas! So just put on some music and do your thing! You'llo get in better shape and things will be come easier for you! Just remember there…

Fast food should NEVER be a staple in one's diet, but some times there are times it is unavoidable. There are always healthier options to select from. You might have to "special order" your food ask them to leave something off or what not, but you can select a "healthier" option just about any place you go. Portion control…

Hummus and carrots!

I eat 1/2 cup of the plain Quaker oatmeal (I don't buy the individual packets, but the container its a lot cheaper) and cook it with water in the micorwave. Then I add a packet of Splenda and 1 TBS of Peter Pan 1/3 less sugar Whipped peanut butter! This definitely fills me up till lunch time! Some times I can't even eat…
