I'm definitely a natural pear. What I've noticed is that while i lose the same number of inches a week, its more noticeable in my arms (where 0.5" is a big deal) and way less so lower (0.5" is really nothing there). But my thighs are the most stubborn :P Its annoying how my arms are the first to show a change and they need…

Oh Justin i am so with you! I don't like it when I see people get chided for making a choice that IS healthier, although not perfectly healthy! I get worried that those newbies will lose heart and leave when there really is so much for them on here. Honestly that is why i won't make my diary public. I eat about the same…

I wondered why I would find it spelled two different ways in medical journals, where in of all places it would be spelled correctly. Thanks! :)

I don't drink dairy and everything i've read says that soymilk has more protein than milk and therefore I'd say yes. edit: ok I am not sure of the exact amount of protein so i thought i'd change that. But I was told that it was a very good substitute for those who cannot drink milk

The reasons I have heard for a recovery snack/drink are that it helps your body eat away the fat to fuel itself rather than the muscles you just worked and that it aids in recovering quicker so the next day you can hit the gym just as hard. Now I am no medical or fitness expert so those are simply things I have heard and…

I have been gluten free for 9months as of today :) I have celiac as well (I've seen it spelled coeliac and celiac just fyi you'll see both). I love Schar's gf pasta. Rice and asian stirfys I eat a lot of. You can friend me and message me. I know I have more ideas, but they aren't coming to me at the moment. When traveling…

I can pop my fingers out of their joints I can ruin a meal by following the exact recipe I can curl my tongue into a boat shape lol

My 2cents is that it is entirely possible, but it has its hazards. When one is single its a bit harder (I think) because sometimes one person does start getting some feelings or a hidden agenda that you have to decide not to act on and continue being friends. That being said my former bf had a hard time understanding that…

I wear a size 4 in Old Navy and they do run very large but they are usually of good quality and I've never had a problem finding size 4 or 6 there. (They also come in shorter hemlines...I'm 5'3" as well and buy the 30" ones). I like Delia's, which is a jr brand but very well done and they don't look "trendy." Those are…

I've been using the US Navy formula for calculating my BF % (haven't made it to a gym) and I'm at 27%. My goal is 13%. Very low for a girl i know

I've been considering them, but I kinda feel that they are helping you cheat and am afraid I'd gain it all back.....that being said my friends have had some success with caffeine based pills that surpress their appetite (I'm so used to caffeine that it doesn't affect me either way).

i have only my ears so far. I've thought of getting snake bites, but i'm not sure I'm that daring...

I only think its "bad" if you are too tired to function correctly and hurt yourself....I am a night owl so i always work out late at night! I don't work out first thing in the morning becuz I have no coordination til about noon and I have school/work :P

So I'm 147.6 sigh...not exactly being a knock-out but this week I start training for my 4mile race and I'm excited :) more cardio and definitely more accountability to work out!

147.6 that's 1.4lbs down

and I start training for my 4mile race this week! Go me! That should up my cardio lol

well 1.4lbs down...147.6

yes I know something had to be going on so I upped my motivation for this week to make sure it was just water weight and not sticking around, I don't think I ate enough to maintain...not to mention gain

wow. Go you for doing something about it. I'm saving this link to watch in the morning

Eating disorders are such a mental thing that while it has physical manifestations obviously you'd really need a professional to "diagnose" it and as an above poster said...none of us are fully qualified to give anything more than our opinion. Here is a link I have used and found fairly accurate for me, it is a test used…

I'm 32B....talk about flat! I want to lose weight but NOT there!

I love apples and nut butter (not a fan of almonds in butter form though), smoothies made with frozen fruit and soymilk or rice milk (soymilk is thicker than rice so if you use rice you might want to add more fruits), POPCORN lol I'm addicted to that. I also make a trail mix of almonds and raisins. If you do like almonds…

I'm super upset :( I GAINED last week. Its the week I usually bloat because of TOM, but the scale said I gained 4.2lbs and I don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm frustrated :( I'm up to 149.0lbs. This is the week I usually bloat because of TOM, but a gain of 4.2lbs?! I worked out and even though I had some junk I was under everyday but one (and by under...that's under cals to lose 1.4lbs per week..not maintenance). OMG. Ugh. :( I don't ever like gaining weight, but this one is…

okay TOM officially sucks...it says I've gained 4.2lbs and I know I didn't consume 14,000 extra calories! and I worked out and everything this week. Ugh! :( 149.0lbs REALLY SCALE REALLY?!

I haven't lost much at all and I'm convinced those 7lbs were the only things keeping me warm! I grew up warm-blooded so this cold sensation is new and most unwelcome :(

great job! I left work far too early this morning and didn't weigh myself and now I'm sure the number would be messed-up since I usually weigh in the morning. Sorry about the slip up :( I'll be sure to weigh myself first thing tomorrow and post it. This week has been awful so you all are the only reasons why I'm weighing…

The week before I eat like a famished refugee and the week of usually nothing interests me so it balances itself.

I'm doing her 30day method (a little over halfway done) and it makes a dancer sore :P plus I love how she targets the spots I really want to get in shape. I haven't been following her eating plan and I'm sure that's the only reason I've only lost 7lbs

ME ME ME! I am 18days into her 30day method and I love it. I also occasionally hate it around rep 18 :P I haven't found a lot of people that have heard of her either which surprised me.
