I actually don't eat popcorn at all except when we go to the movies -- and since that's literally once every 1-3 years, it comes very rarely. :laugh: I eat well every single day -- I've always loved healthy food, so fruits are my daily 'treats'! :smile: Thank you all for your support, & I wish you all the same amount of…

This summer at work, I was looking at my stomach in the mirror in the office & someone said, 'don't worry Kara, just a few more sit-ups & you'll have the body you want'. Meanwhile, I have a pooch! Very funny & goes to show how people think :laugh:

Have your friend join MFP immediately so she can see the dangers of what she's eating. My sister (both of them!) is the exact same way & doesn't believe me at all that she's going to end up with cardiovascular diseases or disorders from eating too much of bad foods -- one of my sisters just found out that she has CROHN'S…

Like everyone said, we just input Circuit Training, General for 25 minutes. Glad to see someone else on the shred. I'm on Day 7: Level 1 tomorrow! :)

It depends on the brand, where you got them from, etc.! The best thing for you to do would be to get a scale. I actually bought a 35lb scale for my cat recently, but since she's too scared to get on it, I realized yesterday that I can use it for food. Make the investment, it's only $20! :D Until then, use the nutrition…

If he misunderstood her coming at him as aggressive and wanted to protect himself, okay. Second push was uncalled for. The two should go to therapy together to resolve any deep-seated emotional issues that they have (in regards to the boyfriend's temper, & her own issues) & start from there in regards to getting their…

By muscle toning, I meant muscle-building, strength training, body toning, etc. I appreciate my mistake being pointed out, but I would've appreciated if some would have actually answered my question without being facetious or callous. Thank you :flowerforyou: For those of you that answered my question, thank you! I really…

My mom made the same comment last night about Thanksgiving! My best friend stays with us for the holiday since her family doesn't celebrate & I was telling her how I was going to eat in moderation & remind myself 'there's always tomorrow to eat again'. My mom was like, 'yeah, okay, we'll see when you're piling the plates…

I don't read popular magazines, I don't read magazines at all nor do I watch TV, thanks for that though :laugh: I wrote these 'three methods' simply off of what I've been reading off of MFP. People do one of them all of the time, so I had to ask. As for learning about nutrition, I've been exercising & eating right long…

Thank you for the opinions, guys! :)
-
20! Welcome to MFP, you'll love it here & make amazing life changes. :)
-
Thank you very much! This is a very inspiring, perfect-answer post. I really appreciate you responding to me, Julia. You make me almost want to give up strength training entirely, except that I do love it & want to be strong (while remaining lean for dance of course :laugh: ) I want to do pilates & yoga for…
-
I'm a student so it's hard to do so :laugh: There are two reasons: 1. I'm still working on toning up, so by then I would be where I want to be in terms of fitness. 2. In 2014 I'll be starting my PhD, so I'll be taking less classes & not have to work with all of my time to pay for school (PhDs in psychology are tuition…

I was going to say something like, 'there are so many cubicle jobs in this thread' but I realized that it's specifically 'in the office' :laugh: I'm going to be a psychologist so I won't have any stories like these! Except maybe a client clipping his or her toenails or eating openly while telling me their problems . . .…

Firstly, congratulations on having two children whom I'm sure are as beautiful as you are :) Secondly, welcome to MFP! This is the perfect time for you to get fit, post-partum & all. You'll be a great inspiration for your children & set your family up for a wonderful life. You have plenty of options so get running & be…

This made me cry just reading it, I'm so happy for you. The both of you. I'm sure that this will be a very special moment that the two of you will share for the rest of your lives. <3

My mom has Hashimoto's so I understand. What I say to you is to keep eating right & like how those jeans just magically were loose on you, keep hope! Like they say, good things come to those who wait (if only a weight pun could work!). You are going to get what you deserve, just when you stop looking for it, like Murphy's…

If you can beat the 30 DS, collingmommy, you are more than powerful enough to beat the RI30! Mind over matter! I plan on doing it once I finish 30DS, followed by a bunch of other challenges like these. :)

Make your afternoon snack a fruit or some beans & you're all good until lunch time! A typical Monday or Thursday (based around my classes) is: Breakfast at 5:30 -- Banana at 10:30 -- 1/2 cup of beans at 12:00 -- Apple at 3:30 -- Gym at 5:00 -- Rest of beans after gym at 5:45 -- Dinner at home at 8:30 -- 30DS/ dance --…

Just did Day 4 today, feeling tired, but good. Not going to stop for one day at all. :) I've been doing my regular cardio & dance classes in addition to it, but I'm also recovering from a cold so I think it may be affecting my output. But, I should be fine by tomorrow, so it's all good!
-
OP, PLEASE listen to this. Nobody said it better. I suggest you become friends with her & grow together. You're so lucky to even have a Y membership -- I can't afford it even living frugally & never spending one cent on anything that isn't a bill all year long (yes, really). Take advantage of what you have, know that you…

What I want is a bar that has no saturated fats, low-sodium, very fibrous, & is high in protein. Not one bar brand posted in this thread fulfills those requirements :frown:
-
Are you starving or just minor hunger? If I were you, I would eat some fruit & then go to sleep in an hour or two :)
-
Rename your thread, because this is amazing! Wonderful job! Now just throw out that jar of mayo & you're on your way :happy:
-
If he said, 'yeah, I'd date you', then it is a friendly esteem booster. 'If I were single, you wouldn't be single', however, implies that he would take her over you -- which, he shouldn't be talking or thinking about what it would be like if he didn't have you -- & that he does have some sort of feelings or desire for her.…

Anytime! :heart:
-
Did Day 3 today! I'm almost starting to remember everything that Jillian says & the order of the exercises :laugh: I think it's interesting how some of you mix it up -- I'm just doing Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days, & Level 3 for 10 days before I move onto Ripped in 30 :heart:
-
Just keep going & don't give up!
-
I made this thread yesterday :smile: MFP users generally just log 'Circuit training, General' under 25 minutes. :)

I try to avoid it much as possible, but it's VERY hard when you don't live by yourself/ aren't the main food purchaser & cook of your household! To compensate, I don't drink anything but water & I try to limit processed foods as much as possible. Once I'm on my own, only natural foods for me!
