If you are hurting, you should probably go to the doctor. Like is said it could be a serious food allergy (like eventually need an epi pen if ingested) or like a lot of other folks have suggested it could be IBS. If it is IBS avoid eating raw veggies. Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water.

I have not read everyone else's posts, but if this is truly happening to you, I would go to the doctor to see if you have food allergies. One of my girl friends used to swell horribly after eating, especially if she just let her self splurge. In fact, she thought it was normal to bloat so much after drinking a beer that…

fyi... for you COFFEE drinkers. An awesome way to doctor it up without adding calories, but taste like you are having a treat... add a dram of vanilla extract and a dash of ground cinnamon. YUMMO!

2 large eggs, one piece whole wheat toast and coffee with half and half and sugar - 316 calories (Most consder the half and half and sugar a no, no, but the way I see it, I own up to it each day. And I strongly believe I am better off having a little sugar than chemically produced artificial sweeteners.)

Fortunately, he does not seem picky and enjoys whatever I cook. Plus he is super appreciative. How can you not like that in a significant other?! The main thing I struggle with is the out of home choices. He is so generous and pays for everything. And so while we are out he may suggest going out to eat, getting ice cream,…

Scarlet Johansson. She has a firm body but still has curves- boobs, hip and butt.

I am your age and a little heavier... I think almost any lenght short is acceptable. I wouldn't go booty shorts length, but since you are asking, I can't imagine that would be your go to. I'm a fan of skirts and sundresses, but honestly sometimes that just doesn't fit the bill. Just go try on shorts and capri's and see…

By "fasting" I meant going the whole night without food. That is about a 6-10 hour span of no food from when I stop eating in the evening until I wake up. I will definitely give your suggestions a try. I do struggle running on a full stomach. But maybe I can give the gels a try If I need it. Burning more fat sounds great…

It has to help in the weight loss process. FIrst, sodas are empty calories. Just think about it, an 8 oz serving is the equivalent of a morning or afternoon snack! So if you keep consuming the same amount of food calories and only drink calorie free beverages, you are cutting hundreds of calories. Just one 20 oz soda is…

I feel like you have two different issues here; relationship and fitness motivation. I cannot imagine someone telling me that they did not fancy me anymore and I have very little advice. It depends on who he is, but this is also a time in your relationship to learn how he will handle struggles. And is that how you want it…

Here are my thoughts, but this is just an average girl's humble opinion. If my calculations are right, your friend is 5'5 and 133lbs. Considering that means she is 2 inches shorter than me and 50lbs lighter, I can't imagine her needing to lose much more. That being said, I would say there are two probable causes to her…

I think it is important to start with small do able changes. For example I don't drink my calories (other than my morning servings of coffee and a glass or two of wine). That is a big change for your body because water consumption is so instrumental in a lot of your bodily functions. Or exercise habits... if you are not…

Try apple sauce or pumpkin puree. roughly 2/3cup.

I've made these! They are yummy. the next time I make them, I am going to try replacing the banana with unsweetened applesauce. I plan to add cinnamon, chopped walnuts and raisins! Then it will be like an oatmeal raisin cookie. I also think you could use pumpkin puree with ginger and pecans. Also, these are GREAT snacks…

I have found food and water are HUGE factors in my energy level. Carb up with healthy digestable carbs about 2 hrs before your run. Then the carbs are in your blood stream and giving you big energy. I bowl of oatmeal is my best fuel food. 2pieces of fruit is good too. And water... stay hydrated. I feel like death if I…

I would not be able to handle the same meal each day. I keep myself stocked with certain items that can be mix matched or prepared several ways. As for lunches... I normally cook extra food on Sunday or Monday and then have precooked options for the remainder of the week. Also to make it easier, I will premeasure the food…

I havent read everyone else's replies, but of all the greek yogurts, Yoplait's is by far and large the worst texture. It is ABSOLUTELY chalky. I generally go for Dannon or Tastes of Inspirations (store brand) and if it is on sale Chobani. All three of these are much more smooth kind of like pudding. I also like to make a…

This is something I learned when I was in college. It will help you save calories and MONEY on that meal plan so you won't deplete or waste the pre-purchased plan.... When I was in college, my first semester I ate all of my meal plan funds with two weeks to go!! Those days were tough! The next semester I realized just…

What do you consider dancing shoes? I can't really think of kinds of shoes, other than heels, that look good with my club clothes.

Alicia, Every person varies a little. What is important is that your diet is balanced. However, a tip for a day like yours is eat a serving of plain almonds or mozzarella string cheese. I don't really know what your diet looks like on a regular basis but those are two of my go to snacks that are low carb, healthy, high…

Yeah It is awkard leaning down for a kiss... I don't know how men do it. I feel like a giraffe.

:happy:

As everyone else pretty much established, wear them with confidence and no one is going to question you. I used to be self conscious about anything that would draw attention to me. I am average height but I am blessed with a big frame (not fat truly) so I naturally look taller than I am. Plus I have a real sense of…

I make whole wheat pitas into pizza! Slice the pita in half to make a thin disk (it trims the calories). I start toasting that while I prep my toppings. I like to saute bell pepper and onion with minced garlic and I chop up roasted chicken deli meat. I then take the pita out of the oven, spread Laughing Cow Sundried Tomato…

Age: 25 Height: 5'7" Starting weight: 199.8 Weight: 195.4 Since January 1.... calories consumed: around 1580 (suggested by my fitness pal. at the holidays, I got way off track and fear to know how many calories i consumed daily) Exercise: about 270 calories per workout. Right now I work out about 2 or 3 times a week. I…

Thanks for all the suggestions! This is what I ended up buying. oven roasted chicken breast deli meat shredded mozzarella cheese string cheese almonds crasins semi-sweet choc.chips (sounds ridiculous, but I add 1 tbs. to my snack mix of almonds[7] and crasins [1tbs]) laughing cow cheese- chipotle flavor and tomato basil…
