  • You have great bone structure! AND your face is totally symmetrical, which isn't as common as one would think. :)
  • Mmm... bacon... the gateway meat. I've always wanted to try making maple bacon muffins, but a slightly healthier version. Something with sugar free maple syrup and applesauce instead of oil, and bacon sprinkled on top. If you're set on going to this bacon party, you could try making that, and then let me know how it turns…
  • You could put a wee bit of honey or syrup in it. Do you like dried fruit? Raisins, craisins, or some other wrinkly item are good choices, too. Do you add cinnamon to your oatmeal with apples? I
  • It could mean heart rate monitor... Perhaps you should incorporate some strength training into your exercise plan. Building muscle helps to burn calories regularly.
  • We should all do planks in random public places and post where we did one... Pictures would be good, too.
  • Oh... these recipes sound delicious and wonderful. I absolutely LOVE desserts with apples. I've got a great breakfast that I eat, and it reminds me of apple pie: I make a bowl of oats (1/2c dry) and add some cinnamon to it, slice an apple, and add cinnamon to a plain vanilla Carbmaster yogurt. I dip the apple slices in the…
  • I love corn. My body doesn't really seem to digest it, but it makes me poop. Everyone needs to poop.
  • It's typically best not to move in with a friend, simply because that can ruin a lot of friendships. After spending the night with one of my friends a few years ago, I knew that I'd never be able to live with her because she likes to fall asleep with the tv running, and needs a light on, whereas I need complete darkness…
  • Haha, in response to some statements above me- I miss weed, too. Also, I took a pole dancing class last summer, but it sucked because we were in a room with no air-conditioning, and I stuck to the pole a lot and got sort of a rugburn from climbing and sliding around it. However, I was the best climber in class, and the…
  • All of these are great suggestions! Flat chest presses and incline presses will help to develop the muscles you need to use for pushups, as well as yoga poses like the plank pose. There are two variations of the full plank pose: you can rest your body on your elbows, or you can hold your arms straight up and maintain a…
  • I weigh in on Friday mornings, too, and I usually try to go a little lighter on calories during the day before I go out, although that doesn't seem to help much. My week is very structured, and I'm on a schedule, but I typically arrange my times on the weekends according to when I wake up. I think I just need to create…
  • Haha, my bf makes fun of me for this one: Whenever I make a sandwich with tomato, the tomato has to be between lettuce or spinach and whatever else is on the sandwich. The tomato can NOT touch the bread. It makes sense, though! The tomato would make the bread soggy.
  • 5'4", about 128 and a size 2-4. I'd like to weigh 115-120, and still be a size 2 or 4... Most of my size 2 clothing is too tight, so I'd like to fit into my old jeans to save money on new clothes. It would be awesome, however, if I could lose some weight in the chest area, to eliminate bad posture and back pain. I'm a full…
  • Hosting a night full of drinking and board games tonight, then spending the weekend getting ready for the semester to begin and working on a research paper. I'm planning on running tomorrow since it will be sunny, but I'm not sure how far I'l go yet... And I need to do strength training since I decided to forgo today in…
  • A simple thing to remember for calculations like this is that there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, so, you can use that info for quick equations for food with the portions expressed in cup sizes. Also, it doesn't really hurt to estimate when you're not sure. Just go a little more on the positive side and you'll eat less…
  • I have the same problem. Plus, if I drink enough, I get the munchies. I find that it really helps to plan in advance for these things, so I take in less calories during the day, and then I also try to buy a few bottles of flavored sparkly water. You can get it at Kroger, WalMart, and probably a few other grocery stores. I…
  • So far, my favorite bit of advice on here is to "kick him in the taint" although I don't necessarily recommend it. I agree with what others have said about how you need to talk to each other about mutual respect, etc., and if he doesn't understand, he may not be worthy of your time. If you're going to lose weight, do it…
