Happy Friday! (Even though technically yesterday was YOUR Friday and I'm still jealous about that :P!).

I'd try filtering but correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation... you might just be getting sick.

Don't men do this too? I mean... I'm not a man, so I'm really curious. Do you all not notice every weird lump, every crooked tooth, every "off" thing about your own bodies? Also, MireyGal, <3... A few lines in I was like "Woah! Who is this b**** and why hasn't she been fired?!" (Because I assumed it had to be someone you…

Would you believe that I laughed out loud (literally) at this? :laugh:

It's A LOT more than a lot of parents do. I work in a school system and it always warms my heart to see parents spending quality time with their kids and instilling some good healthy habits to boot! You don't have to take the extra credit but I'm giving it to you anyway >:(! :bigsmile:

Anyone else think it's the sweetest thing ever that he has his daughter ride her bike next to him as he runs? Good father FTW! Also, I agree... Don't log it but know deep down that you've burned some extra calories for the day.

Hahaha! I've been calling young people "whippersnappers" since high school. I'm also always peering through my blinds and mumbling at my neighbors' children when they're being loud and playing in my yard. The other day my fiance and I were driving down the interstate and there was a car with some kids (ages 18 - 19ish) and…

How long have you been at a "plateau." Sometimes you'll just randomly have a few weeks with no loss. It happens. If it goes on for much more than a few weeks then I usually get a little concerned.

That's too cool! We have our AC set based on time and days of the week. Monday - Friday it's set to 80 from 8 am - 4 pm when we're usually at work then it drops to 76 when I come home in the afternoons. It drops down to 73 around 9:30 pm and stays at 76 on Saturdays and Sundays.

If you're feeling fancy free, Alton Brown recommends turning a box fan into a food dehydrator. http://www.livewellwithmel.com/tip-of-the-day-alton-browns-homemade-food-dehydrator/ gives an over view. You can also google it.

Seems fine...

C'mon, Sam. You don't need a million dollars for that. Just your dashing smile.

Hi, Natasha! You can do this! Being patient and consistent are the hardest parts but if you stick with it and don't talk yourself out of it you'll do great! I started out with 120lb to lose... I have 88lbs left. (my ticker keeps track of my mini-goals so ignore that :D). Feel free to add me!

If you made any improvement at all celebrate! :D Especially if that improvement was made purely through diet and exercise and not just medication. Patience really is the hardest part. Every time I feel like giving up I remind myself of how terrible it feels to have to start over. Progress is progress no matter how small.…

Apples also pair really well with fish such as trout, salmon, and sometimes even cod. You can saute the apples in a skillet in a little butter or olive oil and mix in some thyme then sear the fish in the same skillet for a few minutes. Pop the skillet in the oven (300 - 350 degrees F) for 5 minutes or so. Oh, and pork…

NUTrition Energy Mix should be illegal or at least sold behind the counter with an ID required and only so much you can buy within a 12 month period. That stuff is too good. You could seriously develop an addiction, lol.

This is how I did it too. Went through the program working on endurance rather than speed the first few times. Did the full program at 4.5 mph, then at 5.0 mph, and now am doing it again at 6.0 mph. I would NEVER have been able to start out at 6 which is what the program wants you to do if you hope to complete a 5k in 30…

You mean when you TRY to fix them. We don't accept fixes or ideas from other nations. Good or bad, sink or swim, we're like lil brudder... we can make it on our own (or so we think). Nice instead of ultra violent? Pipe dream. You got better health care? Pssh. Using the metric system? No way! We got this.

Count me in with the "meh, it's more protein" group. The bug parts are a lot more "natural" than some of the other stuff in those canned mushrooms anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a "clean" eater. I'm all about oreos, bologna, and other processed garbage, but ultimately it's probably more natural to be eating bugs than…

How much is this "nominal fee" and are you willing to relocate?

If you're not logging and you're not weighing your food it's possible you've actually been eating a lot more than you think even if your eating says "virtually the same." You'd be surprised how off your estimated calorie consumption may be if you're not truly keeping track of it... Definitely go back to tracking. That…

Sounds interesting! Will definitely try. BTW, if anyone is using liquid egg whites 2 tbsp = 1 egg white.

Couldn't agree more. I use my master's degree directly without question. I got my master's degree and then my specialist degree in education because I have to have those degrees in order to be licensed in my field, BUT had I been in a different field I really would have reconsidered. My fiance has his master's degree in…

I agree with the potassium assessment.

I didn't really like this movie either, but the title is quite accurate to what the movie is about so I don't know what we were expecting :0/...

Pssssh. It's called "osteoporosis mode." Amateur.

Also, let's be honest, he's far too pretty to be a model as well. Even if he were doing it for free. People would either boycott magazines for using his photos because they would be depicting an "unrealistic" image of "beauty" or they would riot in the streets in order to get a copy of the magazines which would undoubtedly…

Doesn't the Insanity meal plan also assume that you'll be doing the Insanity workout program? If so, it stands to reason that you'll need to be eating more.

This is exactly what I was thinking... Unless you're shorter than 5'1" and have a very small frame you might be shooting a little low...

Looking good! Wonderful job!
