I do think lots of fruit and veggies are good for everyone. Raw has more nutrients, regardless of whether you eat it or juice it. The only thing about juice is the fiber has been removed. I have seen newer versions of juicing that is done in the blender to keep the fiber. I personally like frozen leafy greens and frozen…

Lol. I really hope 4713 men don't punch me today to make up for all the doors that have been opened for me. I am staying home!

Some things should just be universal too. If someone has their hands full, hold the door for them. It is just nice. I am female and never let the door go when someone is two steps behind me

I am very independent and capable. My boyfriend is also very independent and capable. We both make an effort to do nice things for each other like making nice dinners. We also very much appreciate the other going that extra mile. My ex saw being capable as an excuse not to do nice things... I CAN open my own door, make my…

My boyfriend is chivalrous. It is appreciated.

You would have to eat 3500 extra calories to gain a pound. All the salt may add weight too

I am not a runner at all but decided I can do the couch to 5k. I keep telling myself that some people are built better for running but that doesn't mean I am not capable of running. I am on week 2 day 2 of the couch to 5k. I have told myself if it is too hard, I will do week 2 twice, week 3 twice and so on. Some of us need…

Tonight is an asian beef salad and a fancy glass of sparkling water with citrus... Posted in my profile pic today :drinker:

I like to belt dresses and button up shirts. Some things can be quickly mended with a sewing machine to fit

I just have to tell myself that I am in control and if I want better I need to get my lazy *kitten* up. Lol. I am tough on myself sometimes. I have stopped making excuses for not doing what I need to. If I want to not exercise, I know I am not exercising because I am making a conscious decision not to take care of myself…

I eat mostly plants, diary and some days meat. I don't eat meat every day, sometimes not every week. I really try very hard to stay away from junk food and processed stuff. Add me if you want

My height and weight are very similar. Anyways, I eat a lot of sugar/carbs but the majority is from fruit. Eating whole foods helps me feel the fullest and i think that helps me to stay away from other things, like donuts. You can check out my food diary.

19.... I started birth control and gained 10 pounds. At 25 I was off birth control and lost 10 pounds in 3 months. I started different birth control then gained a massive 20 pounds.

Not saying butter is bad but I am pretty sure it does not qualify as an HDL "good fat"

:flowerforyou: (damn, I cant get the quotes to work today) [/quote] "But you're also saying people trying to lose at 1200-1500 are misinformed and people telling them to eat more are just trying to educate them. The assumption seems to be that those of us who aren't the 'average person' are ... I'm not sure. Uninformed?…

New glasses for me are all weird. Like why are the walls curved and the ground closer? lol Contacts don't do that to me though

Glasses are cute but hate them when exercising, swimming or moving around a lot. They seem to move around too much even though they are properly fitted

I do find it interesting that a lot of people think the minimum amount of calories should be the same for someone that is 5' or 6' tall.

If I eat 800 calories and feel full, it probably was after a 2000 calorie day eating half a watermelon, 2 salads, a huge stir fry and other misc. items that are low calorie but huge volume

More vegetables, less fruit. I go over with fruit all the time. I keep telling myself, I should eat half vegetables first and then eat an equal amount of fruit after. I don't do this really well though

You can do things at home to build muscle. Think push-ups, Burpees, lunges, squats, sit-ups... You can add weight by grabbing some fat text books or anything around the house

Weight. I weigh a lot of the same food at once though. So my package of blueberries is divided into 200 calorie portions. That way later I don't have to bring out the scale. I waste a lot of baggies or end up washing a lot of plastic wear

Frozen raspberries (or blackberries) fork mashed with sugar and half and half is Devine but high in calories. My fat bowl doesn't help :)

Ice cream is my absolute favorite. I freeze fruit and then blend it with low calorie almond milk. That is a great fix. Coffee with 1 tablespoon creamer normally kills chocolate cravings. There is a spicy cayenne dark chocolate. One square and I have had enough

I can't imagine walking up to someone and telling them they are unattractive!

Your pics are amazing and perfectly feminine. Sigh. I think a lot of us would love to have that kind of body. Different people have different opinions

True. Women can definitely be muscular but just lack the testosterone to become massive like a guy

A lot of people thing women should be a bit overweight. Screw them! A lot of people also think being fit is super sexy. Do what is good for you!

FaceTime is way better to keep in touch, if you have a computer
