Hon, if you lost your period that should be a serious wake-up call in and of itself. You don't go from having a period to not having one for no reason - especially at your age. That is a clear sign from your body that something is off - generally due to too much fitness or too low body weight, too few calories, or all…

To #1 - NOPE! I think this is a good "general" rule that works for the majority. I have issues with hypothyroidism, which can mess with that formula. I will work out regularly, eat very healthy, and the scale will often stay the same or sometimes, frustratingly, go up! If I cut out certain foods that can aggravate thyroid,…

That's why I said that we are different and only gave the qualities that applied to me and my husband. In many ways I'm a total Tom-boy, nothing wrong with that. But I don't think women have to intentionally try to be like men or vice versa, there shouldn't be pressure for that - such as women trying to act more like a…

The wording is pretty lame and cheesy.... I'll definitely give you that!! BUT... Personally, I think people sometimes want to think that "equal" means "same" and it doesn't. In general, women have different characteristics than men (not talking body parts here people...that's obvious...). And I'm glad for that, because I…

There is an interesting distinction that people aren't mentioning when it comes to bananas... The main issue is the starch and the more green the banana, the more starch it has. Generally, fully ripe bananas are not an issue for constipation ("generally" meaning that all bodies are different, but this is what the general…

So, I agree and disagree with this comment - but I think I agree with the sentiment. I think it comes down to maturity over age in many cases. I have known people to get married "too young" in my opinion and have made very happy marriages. In fact, most our grandparents were married in their teens and are celebrating 50…

Whaaaaaaaa???? So, it would be PERFECTLY "natural" for a 40 year old man to drink his mother's breast milk still?? Your definition of natural is not doing it for me. Nice try though... Pretty sure people have been drinking milk for thousands of years without issues (barring the allergic minority)...carry on!!

Amen to not being "skinny fat"!! Keep in mind too that you are female and 5'4" on 1200 calories, but this guy is MALE and probably has at least several inches on you, which means his eating 1200 would be about equivalent to you eating like 800. That's just not healthy or sustainable - and if you can't sustain it then…

WHOA that's great that you lost weight, but 1200 calories for a GUY is WAY too low. What's happening is that your body is NOT sustained at 1200 calories, it is consuming your fat AND muscle to help it to function at capacity. As that diminishes (including MUSCLE) it will start taking from other areas of your body that…

Many people hate it at first and come to love it later - especially considering the way it makes you feel (the endorphins, the self confidence boost, the energy, the stress relief, the improved sleep...etc). Give it time and you will most likely come to enjoy it! Also, look for exercise that you DO enjoy! Like hiking? Find…

Mmmmmmmmmm mullet fish....

Hey thanks. Nice follow-through! ;)

Hahaha, yes, yes luck is on your side! Go buy some lotto tickets STAT!

Mmmmmmmmm mullets.....

I'll pepper spray him while you call the cops, girl!

The garden is a great idea. Don't just have him involved in the picking - I would suggest involving him in the whole process so he takes some ownership in it and really sees the whole thing! You could even try giving him his own section that he is in charge of. I think having them help in the planting and maintenance…

I'm glad you see the light!! Miracle weight-loss is the only way to go. Hey, after you buy these pills from me, I have a Persian prince who wants to sign you over his entire estate if you'll only send him $2,000!! :drinker: :bigsmile:

That's great Herbaliz!! And I have a magic pill that will make you skinny while eating burgers and fries! Limited time offer, must pay in cash.............. :bigsmile:

Beautiful!

Hmmmm.... Should have named this thread "Cat lovers that dislike dogs." Instead you named it "dogs" so now all the dog lovers are gonna come here and be like, "excuuuuuse me?!?!" False advertising!!! ;) It comes down to the owner. I have three dogs (two large, one medium) and they are very well behaved. Because I have…

I'm not a soda drinker, although I used to be. I gave up soda cold turkey in 2001 and now can't stand the stuff. After a while without it, it tastes very unpleasing, unnatural, syrupy and it BURNS to drink. Can't stand carbonation at all anymore. And I drank Dr. Pepper EVERY day before that! I have a major sweet tooth…

Do you like avocados? Those are a GREAT fat for you and are really easy to sneak into things. You can even add half an avocado to a fruit or fruit/veggie smoothie - it just gives it a nice creamy texture and richer taste. In fact, in many other countries avocado is used as a sweet treat, never savory like we use it here.…

I've always had the same issue. I find a few different things help: 1. Set a time for yourself after which you will not eat. I've heard people say 6/7 but with our schedules, that doesn't work. So, I say 8:00 is my "no more eating time" - it should be a couple hours before bed. 2. Brush your teeth, floss, swish listerine…

When you are feeling sluggish and have headaches it is not because your body needs that caffeine, it is because you are going through withdrawals from an addiction - just like someone leaving any harmful substance goes through. A lot of smokers end up not quitting because they don't want the withdrawal effects - so they…

Due to issues with thyroid and some other medical issues, it is VERY difficult for me to lose weight. I can watch my calories, work out regularly and not see a pound drop in weeks. It can get frustrating and has caused me to be like a yo-yo in my efforts because I would think, "why work so hard to get no results?!?!"…

Good looking face!

TAKE STEPS, NOT JUST ONE BIG LEAP! If you change too drastically I worry that you and your child will revert back more quickly. I would say to start by getting rid of the scientifically-altered processed foods in your home. Get rid of things that only resemble actual food! ;) Things that are produced and created due to…

Nice lips. (Like this so much better than the "name your worst feature boards") :)

Green smoothie!!! Included: Lots of spinach, Trader Joe's Green Juice (lots of great nutrients and tastes yummy!), apple slices, 1/2 banana, mixed berries, chia seeds and some stevia for sweetness. :) Makes enough for me and the hubby. Tasty and healthy! :) Love starting the day off well!
