Absolutely not!!!! That is forbidden by the laws of...um...uh...I forgot...

so trying this

I'll try it!

Sweet!!! Great Job!!

Your body burns extra fuel when battling a cold or other sickness and restricting calories too much could actually keep you from getting well as quickly. As long as you're not eating above maintainance and you're not cramming sugar (which actually lowers your immune system) go ahead and eat some extra calories. It may slow…

I work retail overnight so this is really nothing new to me. I see it all the time. I don't mind if people com in in something like sleep pants and slippers but some types of pjs are only meant to be seen by you and your significant other.

bananas and avocados are both super high in potassium.

Start with walking, standing crunches, pushups against the kitchen counter, etc. The most important thing is that you're getting yourself moving. It'll get easier as your body gets used to it and you'll be able to add in more difficult things or stretch it out for longer. You've already taken the first step by deciding to…

My arms hurt just thinking about it. I'm in.

If you're working out soon after getting up, I would recommend waiting until after your workout to eat because your body will directly attack the fat if it doesn't have ready access to an energy supply in the bloodstream. For the first few days trying this, bring along a half an orange in case your body starts demanding an…

I think you have a really great plan! If you prepare them at home, you're likely to cut 300-600 (or more) calores out (I don't see how fast food chains manage to cram in so many extra calories). And what's more, if you portion size and fit the calories into your budget, it won't even be a binge!!!

Air ages your cells, causes free radicals, causes skin and body aging, and will eventually make you die of old age.

The photos definately help. That way if you end up getting discouraged you can look back and see how far you've come.

Definately. I understand that. "Big boned" is real. It's a completely different body type. Before I figured out I was big boned I was at times jealous of my sisters for having very slim frames. My body couldn't and wouldn't shape the same as theirs. Bone structure does make a significant difference. (btw my wrist is 7")

Right on, girl! Great to have you here!!

In baking you can replace part of your butter with pureed avocado. It doesn't change the taste and makes a better texture.

Being big boned is legit to the point that a lot of doctors are now taking it into account when determining your ideal weight. At 5'6" (same height as me) if your wrist is above 6.5 inches wide, you are considered "large framed" and your goal weight is between 140 and 159 lb. 6.3-6.5 inches is a medium frame, and goal…

That sounds really hard...but I'm in. I like the standing ab variations.

Weight varies day by day. Don't worry if your weight fluxuates a little. Sometimes what's left in your digestive system is lower. Sometimes your body is holding more water than your last weigh in. And especially if you're getting anywhere close to your period, that can cause a swing of a few pounds. If you get stressed out…

I think it's more a point of how many calories are in the food vs how many calories your body burns digesting it. Like an apple takes 80-100 calories to digest. There are actually diets built around eating foods that take more calories to digest than are contained in them.

The problem with buying a dress in a size you don't fit is that you can't try it on first so you don't know if it will fit your shape right when you reach that size. Instead I would say get to the size first, then treat yourself as a reward.

It really depends on my mood. In the past week or so I've run to death metal, techno, worship music, and big band swing. I'll probably go for my static x pandora station today.

It isn't about hurting. It's about smudging or losing ink.

Stand and sit repeatedly for 30 seconds every 15 minutes or so. Choose a muscle group (upper legs, lower legs, abs, arms, butt), tighten for 30 seconds. Choose another group and repeat. Or tighten group for 5 seconds, release for 1 second, continue in reps. Stand at your desk. Replace your office chair with a fitness ball.…

I'm really not sure how long you should wait but don't let not running mean not exercising. Hit the gym or pick up a set of freeweights, jump on a bike, swim, or anything else that you have access to that doesn't involve possible damage.

If you don't like veggies, then make most of your servings fruits instead. Also, slip them in where you won't taste them: When making a smoothie, fill the empty space in your blender with spinich. It'll turn it green but it'll still just taste like all the fruits and stuff you put in Pizza (sure, don't go crazy with the…

first, it depends on what kind of carbs you eat as to whether or not it could have at least a little effect. If you're getting a lot of your carbs from fruit and whole grains I really wouldn't worry about going over your goal. Second, if it bothers you that most of your food is carbs, try eating your protein at the…

Very possibly watching through the entirety of the Die Hard series.
