  • 5'2, 126lb and aiming for 110lbs, only because I have naturally small muscles (thank you genetics) and I carry a lot of weight around my stomach. Definitely agree that everyone should do what they feel looks good.
    in Shorties - anyone under 5'3"?? Comment by cupotee May 2011
  • LOL all three I guess. Cold baths lower your internal temperature, which forces your body to respirate more to produce sufficient heat. Water has a high vaporization point, so it'll suck a lot of heat out of you. If you boiled yourself and got like third degree burns, you could lose weight b/c you would burn calories…

  • Hey there, I'm sorry to hear that your antidepressant is sabotaging your dieting :( Here's why (back to hs biology haha): Every cell in your body has protein receptors on their surface. These "receptors" can recieve signals from neurons in the form of neural receptors which tells the cell to do things. So its as if I write…

  • why not? It's only like $30. Instead of going out for dinner, spend the moolah on a HRM :)

  • Eyelet sundresses r so cute for summer! You look fab! That scarf idea from the above poster sounds great, it'll make your neck look super long and give the dress a long silhouette.

    in New dangers found in DIET SODAS Comment by cupotee April 2011
  • Another is that some supplemented organic compounds act like hormones. Your body produces some coenzymes naturally but these coenzymes r under managed by negative feedback. If u flood ur body with supplements, ur body will cease production of these enz. The rate of production may not fully recover even after u stop…

  • It's super hard to eat healthy in the Disney area, and there's like no nutritional information available. I tried to be sensible when I went (ordered salad w/ minimal dressing whenever possible) and I steered clear of the gigantic turkey legs. I actually lost 4 pounds on my 1 week vacation from all the walking + sweating…

  • - 500 cals for 1 serving of Olive garden salad + 1 breadstick. Their new soffatelli has 250% of the DV for sat fat! - Johnny Rocket shakes set you back 1000+ calories
    in HOLY TOLEDO!!! What's the biggest calorie shock you've had Comment by cupotee April 2011
  • 1200kcal is not a magical number. It's just hard to consume all the coenzymes and minerals you need. (Starvation mode only applies if you have under 7% body fat, which is unlikely). That being said, I took a look at your food journal- you're definitely eating enough nutrients. Go under if you feel comfortable with it I'd…

  • Hey if it makes you feel better, I ate under 1300 every day this week, walked 2+ miles every day, and did a 2hr high intensity aerobic class yesterday (super sore today) and I gained 6 pounds. Yes, 6 in one week. And I'm 5'2. I'd say our situations are probably a combination of water retination, weight of food/drinks,…

  • do you live with anyone? store the chocolate somewhere where the other person will clearly notice if you've eaten. I'm always too guilty to go get food at night, since my bedroom is now right next to my mom's and she'd hear me go down.
    in Binging: THIS HAS TO STOP. Comment by cupotee December 2010
  • A Better thread wouldve been "if you're serious about getting healthy," b/c the type of calories u eat (as plenty of ppl have mentioned) has nothing to do with the amy of weight you lose. I can lose more weight on a diet of chocolate and soda than someone eAting spinach and fish, as long as I control my caloric intake.…
