Also I try to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle. So any tips on how to get some high calorie foods in would be great. Eating that many beans at lunch is hard.

Oh and with college housing, there are often the coil type stoves, if this is true in your case, sometimes all you have to do is push the coil all the way back into the socket. (Obviously the stove should be off first.) The stove when turned on again, will then have coils that function. I've had to fiddle with coils on all…

No, your stove top is clearly broken. Call your landlord, or if you're subleasing call the subleasee's landlord (you'd be the subleasor legally) A non functioning stove is dangerous, and probably covered under your state's leasing laws. The landlord must keep the apartment, or home in order, unless otherwise stated in the…

This is hilarious..... most of these food posted here are my normal very happily consumed diet. Love lentils, kale, seaweed, kashi, miracle noodles, oatmeal, quinoa, coconut milk, celery, frozen yogurt, plain greek yogurt, soy milk, spinach, green smoothies, brown rice, tofu noodles, rice milk, chia seeds, whole wheat…

You need compelling reasons to keep doing what you are doing. It's not enough to say I want to be healthy. I want to lose weight. Multi faceted goals are important, and they shouldn't all be about numbers. This has really helped me in the past. I set small goals along the way that I know I can accomplish. Things like doing…

you are awesome

^ This And frankly I know you disagree with the idea that WW isn't calorie counting, but it is. I've been on the two older WW and newest WW, as of a year ago. Both website and the meetings. The point of points, is to limit calories, its just done with a more complex equation, as all calories are not equal, which the new…

Awesome job! I've recently decided to go no meat. How was your experience?

Found out I was D cup. Sounds stupid, but I realized I was a D cup not from being large chested but that I was fat and my boobs now had more fat. I'm a b cup when I feel healthiest. I had bought size d bras the year before and made a vow to lose weight. I forgot my promise to myself and went in the next year and couldn't…

chamois butter. Amazing! in a pinch gold bond cream after.

My legs, especially my calves will develop hives sometimes. Ive learned not to scratch at that first itch and it usually will not develop into full hives. Then of course I shower quickly. Generally I feel I develop it due to grass and pollen allergies, even if indoors.

Please go to a hospital. If you're in pain and have taken all of those medicines. For the next time this begins to happen here is some advice so that it doesn't get this bad again...... Have you tried home enemas? Not an "oral" enema, but through the other hole with actual fluid? Under normal circumstances you could repeat…

It may never ever look "toned" again, but you should be able to rebuild the muscle strength correct? Just curious, I've never been pregnant, but I'd be interested in the effects of a c-section.

That's awesome! The same thing has happened to me before, but I was only down two sizes. Broken scale perhaps? But who cares really, because it's the shape you're in not the number you are!

Glad I'm not the only one here who does this in hot weather. As I sit here eating a bowl of gazpacho. I live in Michigan; I cant imagine living down South with real heat. I'm such a hot weather wimp. Once I accidentally passed out from the heat standing in line for water onto a very elderly woman in a wheelchair! And it…

No, I've seen studies that concluded it's actually somewhat easier to exercise in the heat, because your body and muscles are warmed up. Granted the risk for dehydration and over doing it is probably much greater. You'll come to your limits much faster, but i doubt you burn calories faster. That's why some professional…

When I continue eating even though I am satisfied and no longer hungry. I don't binge on junk food, but I will binge on healthy entrees eating two or three times the normal portion. Generally I realize I'm either thirsty or Ive miss an important nutrient for a while. Like once for a few months I just completely forgot to…

My mailbox = keys! and my phone is my music player and attached to my arm! Plus as a woman, I really feel you really shouldn't run without a phone.... you never know what'll happen.

I used to run 15 miles a day in high school but got sidelined because my hip pain became so bad I felt like I couldn't walk. Led me to believe I couldn't continue running and I was very depressed about it. Even went to physical therapy for it and was told not to run more than a few miles a day, but the pain still…

I love my insanity dvds. I love the excellent hard workout in 30min. I havent lost weight but I feel as though im building much more power and muscle in my butt and thighs.

I have one but it doesnt count calories. Only my heart rate

Looks good. But I might look at some exercises to help your knee if you keep injuring yourself and become sidelined.

Sports bra and boy short undies. But I workout at home.

After really sore days I do an hour of intense yoga. Helps with the pain.

Popcorn

She is very overweight. But I know she can do it because as a kid I used to watch her on the elliptical for hours.

Since it sounds like you've had a child recently you should check out Medicaid. It's for women with children. Or could to your local social services office to see what you qualify for.

I'm not a doctor but I think you should what feels best to you. Not easiest presay but what you find moderately difficult and go from there. That being said you really should go to a doctor, even if you have to find a charity to do that. I know catholic ministries do some of that. But remember putting off a doctor's visit…

Ok thanks. That explains the cardio health thing. I think she wants to be able to run for a longer period of time than her heart rate says she can.
