Exactly, taking it back to basics! My coach did this when she started with my sister & I about 10 years ago. We hadn't skated with her for about 4 or 5 years until this season and it's just been a HUGE turn around! She didn't take us back to basics this time, only because she knew the basis was already there. It's funny…

So jealous you're working on a biellmann spin!! It's one of my goals to eventually get one. Right now my layback's pretty much stalled at the laying back part. Here pretty much every skater works on dances, might just be a Canadian thing lol. My coach is actually a former ice dancer (in the 60s), and she's very dance…

YES!! The only time I don't have road rage is when I'm listening to metal!

^^ THIS!! Has anyone else actually been on the Visalus website? There's talk about the product, and examples, but no actual evidence of how it works. (Yes, people losing weight with it falls in my category of examples -- they used that probably in combination with another thing such as exercise). They more push becoming a…

I'm in London but it seems that you've already found me :)

Nerd, band geek... and I hung out with other band geeks...

Plans - level up on Fito tonight (skating and hopefully some planks and ab work as long as skating doesn't kill me first lol), then tomorrow I'm going with my cousin and some of the other bridesmaids to book the venue and then the bridal show! I was originally supposed to be going to Toronto this weekend for a Fitocracy…

I've had a couple of friends try to push it on me, but after doing some of my own research, I have to concur with everyone else saying save your money! If you ask me, it seems like a pyramid scheme from the one stand point, and the other - it seems like there's more money put into the marketing rather than the product…

I'm rabid to get him on the ice! (or in my bed... either works... lol)

I work at a sporting goods store so a good chunk of my work out clothes come from there (Nike had some cute stuff in their last collection!) . Other than that I tend to wear freebie tees that I've gotten from work (yay for Livestrong and Olympic promos lol), or randomly at bars during homecoming... But there is one top…

In some ways I'm happy it's back, but I don't know if I want to watch. And has anyone heard anything on PK Subban? I'm still pissed about Gomez... and PK's been suspiciously quiet on twitter this week...

My favourite thing is randomly seeing that my emotionally abusive ex has put on a ton of weight (he has moobs now!), and even though I put on weight after we broke up, I've lost most of it since he last saw me! It's an awesome feeling, I'm not going to lie!

5'5" here and looking to go to 130-140 range, but really, I'd be happy with dropping my bf% to anywhere from 17%-20% (read: I want muscles!)

I have possibly the most random mix of music on my mp3 player. I can go from listening to The Beatles, to System of a Down, to Beethoven, to Lady Gaga. It's amazing. My favourite mix was when my mp3 went from System of a Down to the Olympic fanfare to Bowie. That made my elliptical time much more fun!

Get a personal trainer (who actually knows what they're doing, they're few and far between!), or a gym buddy that lifts! I started not even a year ago weight training with a PT, and I wouldn't look back. And, my guy friends are the best, I text them and ask if they want to go to the gym and we go, and we lift! It's awesome…

Today's skate was just a quick half hour at the outdoor rink in a local park. I was working on the mohawk part of the Harris, the Paso Doble (still learning the actual steps and getting the edges positioned correctly), and the end pattern of the Killian (my choctaw (sp?) was actually working today!) Last Friday's lesson…

I'm not sure how much weight I lost in the last year, but I went from a D cup (verging on DD), back down to a C.

I've always had low blood pressure and I've noticed that's started to affect me, especially during intense cardio sessions or heavy lifting (80lb squats most recently). When I started working out it was worse - it would affect me even with bodyweight squats. I've just started taking cues from my own body to sit down for a…

Don't know about the other person, but on my personal computer I have IE, Firefox and Chrome. I usually use Firefox, but some websites are just easier to use in Chrome (at least I've found), and then some databases I had to use for school wouldn't run in Firefox or Chrome so I had to keep IE to use those. It's kinda…

I usually drink a Starbucks roasted coffee k-cup (I can't even drink their mocha's in store anymore, WAYYY too sweet), with some 5% cream and that is about 20 cal (according to MFP).

I've kept a couple of pairs that aren't too, too big kicking around for grunge days/painting days/having to put up a shed in the backyard days/when I was in school and was doing field lab work days.

At work, I drink the Starbucks ones, anything and everything as long as there's caffeine in it lol. And plus, my boss buys the coffee, who can say no to free Starbucks coffee? At home, my parents (yes I still live with my parents, I'm cheap!) bought the 80 assorted pack from Costco, and I'm really liking the Timothy's…

My dad's half Italian, and really looks it (dark complexion, etc.), and his other half is Heinz 57 as someone else said lol. I inherited those traits - dark hair and eyes (so brown they're almost black in the right conditions), and I tan up very well - not quite like my dad, but compared to my mom and sister, I'm pretty…

I guess he did do a segment on Fitocracy before Christmas... I only know because the site was down... my workout doesn't count unless I can tell people on the internet about it! lol Not trying to redeem him, just more ore less surprised that he mentioned an app that actually works and isn't some fad (been on there since…

I've been trying to for years... and so have most of the profs at my university. Alas... he has money and Oprah behind him. (And I just shamed myself for saying Oprah. I love her, I swear, I just never listened to any of her health or diet advice! lol)

Clapton's in The Beatles' White My Guitar Gently Weeps! It's a very understated guitar solo, but I think it's beautiful!

I completely second Fito. When I first joined I logged my exercise in both places, but now I've found that's just too time consuming, and not all the exercises I do are listed on MFP. The two aren't linked or anything, so it won't count your calories type deal for you. Not much help, but Fitocracy is definitely a wonderful…

Best response ever!! Personally, I don't eat fish, so I stick with veggie California rolls, yam rolls, and cucumber rolls, and then lots of endamame and seaweed salad :)

If you pooped out a piece of broccoli, obviously your body isn't doing what it should to break down said piece of broccoli. Yes, broccoli is fairly high in lignin, so it might not all break down, but it should be obviously deteriorated (ie - kinda like corn poops). Not to mention what you said "eating nothing and drinking…

I've never been very overweight, but I've never been thin either. As far back as I can recall (since I was about 11 or 12), I sort of spurted overnight and I don't even remember being in a single digit size (US sizing). Actually, this is the first time since I was in at least the 6th or 7th grade that I've fit into a size…
