WTG!! That is fabulous! If you're looking for a friend that will cut through the bull#$%@ and tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear and give honest feedback I'm your gal. Feel free to friend me.

Why??? Are you planning to go to Africa and nurse infected patients? For any of us normal, regular citizens there isn't any reason to be concerned. It's not the flu, you can't get it just by being near someone who's infected. You have to have contact with bodily fluids. And besides do you have a lot of people in your life…

This is a good point. For some reason our society thinks that unless you are "partying" you aren't "living" or enjoying life. Well, I've got news for a lot of people that that is so not the case. Sitting in a bar all the time and drinking til your wasted is not living. It's pathetic and what people that are afraid to…

log each ingredient as best as you can.

Do whatever you want. Cardio can be done anytime. Cardio and lifting are two different things. One does not impact the other. My trainer has had me do both a warm up and a cool down run with my lifting/cross-fit session in between. It's the lifting that you don't want to be doing every single day unless you concentrate on…

I so agree with the declawing thing! If it's declawed I would put up some posters first. Maybe it actually belongs to someone and the cat just wanders(declawed I don't know why someone would allow that but people are stupid). Then if no one claims kitty and you keep her I think your dog will eventually calm down. Right now…

I would say if you are letting the tattoo air out other times of the day then putting a bandage on it for an hour or 2 while working out it will be just fine. I wouldn't work out in full footwear without it being bandaged. If your shoes and socks are rubbing on it a lot it's most likely going to get pretty raw and will…

The only a few reasons not to be losing weight. You are eating more than you think(not weighing and measuring accurately) eating way too much sodium and you are bloated or you aren't exercising as much as you think. It's usually a combination of it all. Glad to hear you upped your calories.....1200 is way to low for…

This is obviously and abusive relationship on your mother's part so you have 2 options. Keep her in your life or distance yourself. If you want to try to keep her in your life then you need to basically go off on her and tell her how her comments are rude, insensitive and not something someone that is supposed to love you…

Good for you for making that hard decision. Too many people are completely messed up and are more concerned about not hurting the other person instead of doing the right thing and seperating to prevent a bigger hurt down the road. If you were not happy then you did the right thing! Better to have a little hurt now then…

Not sure why someone would say you need to lose more weight before doing strength training? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! You want to start NOW! Since you are just starting out I would go with the trainers plan. It is most likely a well rounded workout that gives you a full-body workout which is very…

You say you are 5'2" and 118lbs? What are you trying to lose? You are already at an extremely point on weight. You really think you're fat and need to lose weight? I'm asking because if that is how you see yourself then I'm concerned for you and think you may need to speak to a professional. I'm hoping that what is going…

My state already has regulations in place to curb public smoking. All restuarants, workplaces, business(public or private), and taverns are smoke free. I very much believe that public smoking should not be allowed except in specifically designated areas away from everyone else. Unlike other vices like drinking and drugs,…

SERIOUSLY?? With kind of attitude you aren't going to accomplish anything in life. I understand you are very young and you expect immediate results and you expect it to be easy right of the bat but you won't and it's not. That isn't how life works. You have to work at changing your body and if you don't think that's worth…
-
This is actually correct but worded in a way that you all don't understand it. By eating low carb your body burns the fat that you already have stored in your body for energy instead of using the immediate energy you just gave it from the carbs. Therefore, by eating a low-carb diet and doing strength training too you lose…

Low carb doesn't = weight loss. Eating fewer carbs in combination with cleaner eating(fresh vegetables, diary and proteins) and regular exercise is what will result in weight loss. And carbs doesn't mean just bread, pasta and rice although those are the main key areas. You also have to keep an eye on your fruits and…
-
You just said you have from 5-7 to exercise. You're question seems kind of moot. You don't even need two hours. An hour to hour and 1/2 is plenty of time for a good lifting session or combo with cardio. You already have 2 nights taken care of with hockey and an hour lunch is long enough to go for a run(if that's your…

Stop being picky. Open up and start trying new things. I guarantee you'll realize you like many more things than you thought. Life is way too short to be so closed off and inflexible. You will be happier for expanding your food base.

With a lot of weight to lose, loose skin is going to be unavoidable. However, depending on your age and if you are also doing weight training I think it can be minimized. Weight lifting is one of best ways to help minimize loose skin and slow weight lose. One of the main reasons why those weight loss show contestants have…

I'm on here pretty much daily, give or take, but I haven't logged my food in weeks. I feel it really depends on the type of lifestyle someone is leading as to whether you need to log. If someone is eating a bunch of junk and not eating healthy food then they need to be logging because they have to watch their portions and…
-
It depends. Are you a adult that holds down a job, runs a household and exercises several times a week? Then yes, 1200 is too low. You should definitely be eating back you exercise calories because if you aren't then you aren't getting 1200/a day. You are probably getting more like 800-1000/day. If your BMR is around 1600…

First off cardio is not going to get you anywhere. Unless you are doing strength training as your primary focus, cardio is only going to decrease your muscle mass. Don't waste your time on those tiny useless 5lb weights either. Those aren't going to do anything for you. The only way to gain muscle mass is through heavy…
-
I do think that all the unnatural additives that are put into our food are the cause for the increased food allergies etc these days. Unless we are going to go completely clean with our eating we can't get away from some of the stuff; however, so the only thing that I truely try to avoid is the artificial sweetners. I know…

I don't know what Orange Theory is. I agree with others that it sounds pretty expensive, but it's your money and if you enjoy the classes then go for it. You aren't married, you're free to do what you want. If your BOYFRIEND not husband thinks it's stupid so be it, it's not his money and he doesn't have to go or concern…

Nice.

I agree with the others; I don't think it will make any difference with it being on your arm. Being women unless you were planning on becoming a body builder a little bit of a toned arm won't do anything. If it was your middle that would be a different story with having kids etc or losing a lot of weight if you were…

Everything she said!! Sure, people look and may even be thinking certain things in their head but it is no concern of yours. No one is going to gather to belittle you or pick on you. If you are there busting your *kitten* people that may have thought negative things at first will be thinking......wow, look at her kicking…

Find out why he doesn't want to go and if you think it's reasonable don't go. I wouldn't force my child to do something if he doesn't truly want to do something. You don't want him to be cranky and irritated and creating a difficult time at the party. He's four....making him go when he doesn't want to won't end well. He's…

If you're ill I wouldn't even concern myself about logging. If you aren't eating normal amounts and/or getting sick it doesn't really matter. Rest and take care of yourself and when you're better start logging again.

Relax. Enjoy your day. You may see an increase if you weigh yourself....so don't. It will be water weight due to all the added sodium anyways. In the long run 1 day does not make or break anything in life. It all evens out, so stop over thinking it and have fun.
