  • Only wore his set of mud run soaked threads because someone stole his clothes. :o
  • Am I the only one here that's bothered by the desire to not feel hungry? Sure, often we "think" we are hungry when we're just bored or sad, etc. Real honest to goodness hunger pangs are your bodies way of reminding you to fuel it. If an appetite suppressant is effective (which most aren't as has been said on here by people…
  • My ex who was a fairly lanky guy and I met when I was at my highest weight (I was 5'4" and 197 - He was 5'9" and 145) and he seemed pretty ok with that arrangement. About 3 1/2 years in I decided to start losing weight (which he was 'supportive' of at the time) and dropped to about 137 in a period of about 6-7 months. Once…
  • May not be the answer you want but PLAN. Since your diary is closed I'm not sure what your daily allowance is and I can't suggest alternatives to what you're eating to help you "afford" more food later in the day. Eating if you're still hungry after your calorie allowance has been met (as has been suggested) is all well…
  • Haha! OMG yes! I want to put this up at my gym! This thread completely made my day :laugh:
  • Not sure it's so much age (or gender) as it is the individual person and what does or doesn't suit them. I'm 29 and whether in my teen years or now, longer hair just suits me.....and the boyfriend who is 42 has always had long hair (like REALLY long) and rocks it. But getting back to the OP, I've always found changing…
  • SO proud and SO amazed by you Cory! I am so honored to be counted among your friends on here. You are my personal hero and I mean that absolutely 100% whole-heartedly. You are the most incredibly strong and inspiring person I know. Love you gorgeous lady!!!
  • I once catapulted over the Grand Canyon for a slice of cheesecake.
  • Haha!! ^^^^^ THIS! I'm more apt to scare guys out of the man side than hunt for one ;) Does that mean they're afraid of my ho-tastic-ness?
  • Unfortunately I'm not a nurse but my super busy friend (who isn't online right now I think so she might miss this) is a recently graduated nurse who is also still in school getting her pre-med degree. Hit her up! I'm sure she'd be a great help! Her username is: sunshine_169691 You're welcome to add me as well if you like!…
  • Ditto on the caffeine. If there's nutella in the house I eat it. All of it. Needless to say I don't buy it any more.......after this last jar I've got in my cupboard right now.
  • Has some killer eyes and a secret behind her smile.
  • Pain is all relative but if you're used to getting tattoos, I'd say the foot ones aren't bad (lol obviously since I have one on each). It was more of a "tickle" or"twitch" issue. Yes, the tattoos on my feet "tickled" so I had to concentrate to sit still.
  • <Not the geekiest tattoo but so far my favorite. I've got 6, soon to add another. 1. Flower&Vine in the shape of a butterfly with gma's initials (cliche but I was 18) 2. Turtle on left foot 3. Tribal rose with 1st daughter's name and birth date. 4. Music note with 2nd daughter's name and birth date. 5. "Defying Gravity"…
  • For your information, many art forms (not just body art) have had historical instances when they had to be hidden because of societal constraints. That DOES NOT negate it as an art form. We hide them because of people who insist on judging a person by their appearance rather than WHO THEY ARE. I do not hold it against you…
  • It may be possible to be healthy at that weight and height but not in the way she did it. There are a mere 30 days between the last regular episode and the finale. Let me re-word that. She went from 150 to 105 in 30 DAYS. That kind of rapid weight loss isn't healthy when you are already so close to what the…
  • Her statistics list her at 5'4" - At which 105 lbs is still most DEFINITELY too low. I'm saddened and disappointed. My affinity for the show had already been teetering. I'm now over the edge. Don't think I'll be watching and supporting any more.
  • Rachel looked perfect IMHO the previous show. The look on Bob and Jillian's faces when she walked out tonight said it all. NOT OK!!! Rachel is taller than Jillian (who is 5'3") and the LOWEST recommended weight for Jillian's height is 107lbs. I genuinely believe Rachel's competitive nature took over and she took it too…
  • Yes, initially one burns more calories with zumba....however calorie burns stop once you're done. When you weight train your muscles tend to burn more throughout your day. If you're not eating enough on weight training days before or after your workout you are robbing your muscles of the energy needed to both fuel and…
  • I know it's been said already but.........Carbs down. Protein up. 50% (imho) is too much. I lift more than I run but just to give you an idea, my macros are set at (I believe) carbs 40%, fat 35%, protein 25%.
  • I have separate playlists for cardio (usually running) and lifting. My lifting playlist includes Disturbed - Warrior, Incubus - Megalomaniac, Deftones - My Own Summer, Godsmack - I Stand Alone, P.O.D. - Boom, Breaking Benjamin - Blow Me Away, Rage Against the Machine - No Shelter, Zeppelin - Immigrant Song, Korn - Freak on…
  • I have had the same one for 2 years now (FT4) and LOVE it! Yes it does stay put during crazy activities if fitted right (I've worn my with everything from insanity to running to lifting). As to what Mr_Knight said, yes it's still not 100% accurate but as you'll find out, a FAR better option than guesstimating with mfp's…
  • I listen to almost everything but since my lifting playlist is almost exclusively metal, alternative rock, hardcore, etc....I'll throw my hat in ;)
  • I did (at least partially) and maintained for a year eating a mix of really great stuff and some not so great but staying withing reasonable limits. However sometimes eliminating the junk is necessary to achieve some of those "holy grails" like washboard abs and such or to get past a plateau or out of a backslide. Depends…
  • Hmm I don't really have one anymore so I'm assuming you mean my illustrious ex. If so, congrats to him on finding someone to pop his bacne. Oooo! And one more thing. Handy travel tip: He fits well in a medium size suitcase so that oughta save ya a bunch on airfare! Enjoy! :wink:
  • So good for so many on here to see this. I think we often forget that this is a lifestyle change not a quick fix and while weight loss and fitness are great, they're not a time machine ;)
  • I'm with a lot of people on here and frankly I don't love being interrupted when I'm mid workout at the gym. However because of what I do (teacher) it's something that can't often be entirely avoided. I don't love the idea of someone watching me and commenting on my body/form/workout and if a complete stranger came up and…
