Yeah I just graduated from graduate school and I am looking for employment (so currently I'm unemployed). I honestly would like one that calculates calories burned accurately for $50 or less. It doesn't need to do anything more than that. LOL

I've heard that the last 10 pounds are the hardest. But I also hear that it helps if you trick yourself mentally. Tell yourself you want to lose 20, convince yourself of it! Then when you lose 10, just stop. Sometimes it is the idea of almost being done that makes it hard to keep the same intensity and hard for your body…

Usually unless you are losing more than 60 lbs, you don't have hanging skin. Plus as mentioned before, you are young and your skin has a lot of elasticity!

I once did cardio so long that I barely made it to the restroom toilet to throw up. All the water came up right as I was swinging open the stall door.

OMG I have the same problem with my boyfriend's family. They are always trying to marry us off so we can then hurry up and have kids. Why? So we can end up divorced like all of them? It is annoying.

Is this the Vegan diet?

Wow this is so funny because I like the majority of what everyone named. I have to agree with canned spinach though and I'm not a big fan of celery but I don't hate it. I don't really like greens but I will eat them. IDK this is a hard one for me. I got through phases where I do and don't like things but at some point in…

OMG you did so well! I would have had extra guac, with sour cream, the shell and 18 chips. LOL

60 miles???? That's almost two and a half marathons. You should be done for the year!

Don't let this diet ruin your birthday! Enjoy yourself and just get back on track when you're done.

I love mine also. I have had it since November and the first month was tough, especially the first week. I felt shifted around inside and I was extra juicy. My period was also very heavy and long the first month and I had cramping. But every month since then has been good. My periods are regular and very light. They get…

MFP actually offers the option to log food by time frame (ie. 9 am to 12 noon) instead of as breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.

My issuie isn't as much size as it is the way they 'hang'. They seemed to sit up more before I lost 30+. I think I may just need to do more chest toning exercises. Anyone know of any?

Your body thinks you are starving to death! HOW are you surviving on 500-800 calories day? U r going to make yourself very sick or possible damage your organs or brain if you don't eat more. Eat more vegetables and more protein (less in the form of lunchmeat) and get AT LEAST 1200 calories a day and you should break the…

Yea but I also got the large majority of my fat from chicken and eggs but they didn't fill me up!

LMAO! Good job!

I think you should be 100% honest and tell your friend and boyfriend how those comments make you feel. Then if they are not supportive and uplifting, give them the boot. Sometimes people who have never had a weight issue do not understand how it feels to have someone joke about something like that. My boyfriend and friends…

My friend is breatfeeding and she told me that women burn 300 - 500 calories a day breastfeeding. Therefore, you should be getting at least 1500 - 1700 calories a day in order to be taking in enough calories to keep you and your baby healthy!

As a Christian, I believe God made us to be able to eat animals, eggs, milk and things that grow from the Earth, just as the bible says. This book should be called Angry, Hungry *****, because that's all this book will make you if you believe and practice the bull it's teaching you! Stay away from the processed and…

I read that when it's cold your body has to work harder to keep you warm and as a result, you burn more calories. That may explain it. The problem is, many people associate food with feeling warm and tend to use the consumption of more food as a way to warm up. So these people counteract the natural extra weight loss by…

Personally, I love Jillian, but I don't want to look like her. I like her stomach but that's about it. My breast, hips, thighs and butt are more shapely and womanly than hers and I love them that way. I want to tone them but I want to keep my curves. I don't want to look like Jillian and personally, I think REAL women look…

I want to know what to do to get my stomach flat and my butt lifted and round. The rounder the better.

That's funny because I have these portion control plates I eat on and they are blue. Does it matter what shade of blue?

I always thought jean sizes functioned under the 10 pound rule (10 pounds lost = 1 size down). I have lost 31 pounds and I went from a size 17/18 to an 11/12. However, everyone is shaped differently and different jean brands are cut differently. Try medium priced jeans ($15 - $35 at Ross, Kohl's or Mervyns). I have found…

Man. I can't believe I missed the show. Oh well, at least I missed it because I was at the gym. LOL

I have food allergies and about a year ago I developed the same thing with eggplant and presimans (misspelled I think). When I eat them, I too throw up and my mouth itches for 2 hours. Go to the specialist. You don't have to suffer like this. There are medicines or changes in diet the doctor can help you with but a life…

People let us not forget that most of us are not 350 - 500 pound men and women. TBL is extreme because the people on the show are EXTREMELY obese. They are like 1/2 a cheeseburger away from croaking. TBL is super tough on them because most of them are on the verge of death. Don't try to compare yourself to that!

OMG I have been doing the same thing. Thank you for writing that! I needed it! Since Thanksgiving I have been cnsuming at least 25oo calories a day. And I haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks. I ate three cups (yes 24 oz.) of dulce de leche ice cream yesterday and that's on top of the food I ate too. I needed to hear that…

I was on the shot for three months and I was ALWAYS hungry. By the end, I had gained 14.2 lbs. I recommend the nuvaring. You change it once a month so it is no big deal and it is less hormones all at one time in your body (opposed to the shot - 3 months worth at once). There is also no weight gain or hair loss associated…

I don't think you should be angry with her or complain to management. It is Thanksgiving and she is human just like the rest of us. Being human on Thanksgiving means you have cooking to do and family to spend time with showing you are thankful for them. She may have needed to leave early for a number of reasons. Just…
