I would have sat down and thrown dollars while demanding a lap dance. Act like a ho, get treated like one.

We spend $150 (roughly) every 2 weeks for 2 people. Meal planning is your best friend. I use a site called bigoven.com to literally plan every meal for 2 weeks and have learned how to re-use things, re-vamp and mix it up. We stick to a 1250-1300 calorie day with snacks and are doing just fine. We also eat mostly organic. I…

Woah woah woah, breathe. No one is going to look at you and say "Umm, that girl CLEARLY weighs 160 lbs. Gross." Instead of freaking out over your last 15 lbs (congrats on that), why don't you spend the next 2 weeks eating well, working out as usual and looking for a bathing suit that fits YOUR BODY. The scale isn't going…

Your back is tricky. You never want to push because once your back is injured or strained, everything else follows suit. You can do damage to your knees, neck, ankles etc. Your best bet is to take a few days off, alternate heat and ice with massage and be kind to it. If you can't massage, do what I do. Grab a baseball or…

I don't donate blood but I donate plasma twice a week!

My partner and I were discussing this as well. I'm down 75# and she's down 52#. We've both noticed that the more weight we lose, the sweatier we get! My theory is: Muscle burns fat. Working out builds muscle. The more muscle you have, the more you burn. Burning fat takes heat. Muscles generate heat to burn said fat. Soooo,…

Have you looked at the Zumba rhythm sticks? They have them on the Zumba site but also for pretty cheap on ebay. They come in various weights and some of the girls in my class LOVE THEM. :)

My journey started around a year and a half ago but more seriously around a year ago. Everyone always asks "what are you doing!?" "How'd you do it?" The minute you try and tell them "I eat better and exercise" they shut down and don't want to hear anymore. Everyone wants the magic bullet or the super pill and not the…

The PCOS group is amazing! Super supportive ladies (like myself) who can give you a boost as well as some awesome tips. I'm down 78lbs in the last year and couldn't have done it without this site and the people on it. :) Good luck on your journey.

Old navy is TERRIBLE! And why is it that you can grab 3 pairs of the same jean, same cut, same size, same color and they all fit differently? They're SUPER inconsistent with their sizing. I'm not mad though. I go there on my "fat" days and try on clothes I know I have no business wearing. When they fit, I say "Yayyy!" and…

Steamed shrimp with sweet and spicy marinara, green and yellow peppers, onions, and garlic over organic whole wheat rotini. Grocery day looms on the horizon. Time to get creative.

THIS! Only I probably burn a good 35 because my head actually moves up and down. Our instructor has a fantastic posterior. AKA: DAT ASSSS!

THIS! It's not a matter of starving yourself or eating in an extreme manor. It's a matter of fueling your body with the right foods. You're going to run a whole lot longer on a few ounces of lean protein than you will with an ounce of potato chips. Plain and simple. I've been maintaining 1250 calories daily for almost 6…

Morbidly obese to "regular" obese in 1 year. Even my "goal" weight is considered overweight by the old charts but when I get there, I will see how I feel. My friends and family say they see a change, but my eyes have yet to acknowledge it. I know my clothes are bigger, but my brain just hasn't caught up with my wasitline.…

Don't be sad for her! She has taken the first and (hopefully not last) step towards a better life. I was her and still am in some aspects. The other day I attempted jogging for the first time and as an extremely fit man blew past me, he stopped, took out his headphones and said "You're kicking *kitten* girl!" and kept…

There is a website that a lot of people use to calculate their Zumba calories but I feel like it TOTALLY overestimates. I basically take that number and the number of calories burned on here doing aerobic dance and work out the difference. There are some days I work much harder in class or the teacher decided she wanted us…

I try and limit my red meat intake to once, maybe twice monthly in small doses. I make sure that red meat is the highest grass fed/free range I can find. I also don't eat pork at ALL. Pork makes my gallbladder angry and anyone with that issue knows sausage isn't worth it. Your protein can come from hundreds of other…

The Gold Bond stick is great, Anti-Monkey Butt is awesome and Body Glide is best. All can be found at Walgreen's :) I wear spanks whenever I can, sometimes even when working out. Shhhh, don't tell. :laugh:

Movies: The hot tub time machine so I could go back to the awesome 80's and tell my chubby little self to knock it the hell off. Bullies suck, school doesn't last forever and focus on YOU. TV: Swift Wind from Rainbow Brite because who wouldn't want a rainbow crapping Pegasus to ride on?

Take it to HR so you don't get in trouble for any sort of "perceived harassment". Also, when she gets fired, I will take her job! LOL #brokeasajoke

Why does everyone seem to have pounds of feathers laying around? Sounds like one H*** of a mess....
-
But the real question is, if I climb to the roof and drop a hunk of fat and a hunk of muscle, which one will land first? Also, if 2 cars leave the house traveling at 50mph in opposite directions, what color hat did the monkey wear Tuesday?

Considering how much my body hurts after standing for long periods of time (more than 2 hours), I consider it exercise and most OTHER sites do as well. http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc/calculator.cgi says I burn 397 standing for 3 hours vs 253 sitting at a computer. I'd use the difference. Everything you do outside…

I used to be a Taco Hell junkie but haven't been there for almost 2 years! I DO have an unhealthy relationship with Moe's, but a Joey Jr. on wheat with no cheese or sour cream isn't bad at all! :) In fact....I could totally go for that right now.....

Pop Tarts are the devil. If they REALLY wanted you to eat one "pastry" (and I use this term lightly), why the eff wouldn't they make the lovely foil packs resealable???? How dare you force me to eat both so as to not let the second one go stale? So rude. Also, probably not your best option for breakfast. IMO it's a waste…

I started going to the local Y for zumba about 3 weeks ago and am totally addicted. I've never done it on the Xbox, but the energy you feed off of from 80+ people in a room is EPIC. I generally do it 4-5x weekly and know I burn at LEAST 800 calories each hour. As for the muscle vs fat game, it's been proven that muscle…

I try not to eat it in bed. It can totally ruin the sheets and the memory foam. I've learned it's much easier to clean up from the kitchen floor or even in the bathtub! If I'm feeling super adventurous, I'll eat it outside for everyone to see!

I'm not gonna say they're "Unsexy" but, not exactly my type if you catch my drift. ;) Wrong team. LOL I can appreciate a good looking man but too much muscle is....well....too much.
