I don't love it, but I trust him so I don't complain. He works with a lot of older single men so they'll often go to the rippers for lunch or post-work beers. Its usually just to relax, not for the actual girls. If he goes on a weekend its usually because my friends, or myself have instigated the trip.

My old cat looked awfully similar to yours, he used to eat my homework at 3am because he wanted attention! When he passed, I got another cat that looked similar again (I have a thing for black cats!) who would come running when he heard the non-existent tinkle of jewelry, and he would steal it!! Little *kitten* depleted…

I'm guilty of that too. I tend to do it with mostly with middle aged single men, who have carts full of frozen pizza's and hungry man tv dinners, or Mom's who have carts full of junk food and then seem at their wits end with children who are running around the store like wild animals (can you tell I'm not a parent?!). I…

Genetics plays a big part in how our muscles develop, and grow when we work out. Ie. We can't all have David Beckham's abs, or Heidi Klum's body after all those kids, our genetics won't always allow it but they do not control our weight. They may dictate how fast or slow we gain or lose weight, but to say that a person is…

I recently read a newspaper article claiming a bride INSISTED her GUESTS go on a 48hr juice cleanse before her wedding so they would look their best in photos! Way too bridezilla for me, I love my friends and family the way they are, but I see no harm in doing something physical just a private class (or classes if they'll…

My fave is slow cooker tex mex chicken :) 2 chicken breasts, cut up. cover with flour (2tbsp), and taco seasoning (about 1pkg). Salsa Green Pepper, diced (or sliced, your preference) Red Pepper (same as green pepper) Corn Kernels Small onion diced Set on low, and leave it for the day! You can eat it over rice, or on…

Congratulations! You look great! 90 lbs is truly impressive!

MFP is missing a lot of criteria for determining what you should be eating. Its really hard to get a correct TDEE without being tested properly. If you go to the gym, they likely have a hydrostatic scale (sends a small electrical pulse up through your body, and measures your percentages based on how long it takes for the…

I wouldn't say so, many people are unaware that their favourite morning bagel w/ cream cheese is SO far detached from a healthy breakfast! I always used to think they weren't that bad until I really looked at the nutritional information in detail. Oatmeal all the way!!

You look absolutely fantastic! You've done an amazing job! Congratulations and all the best with the rest of your journey!

My knees, and the lower half of my belly. I've always had bulky knees (even at my smallest), and my belly looks pretty good until you get a couple inches below my belly button, the it does something weird that I'm not a big fan of... Looking forward to working that off!

I think its possible, I did it. HOWEVER, I started working out heavily 4 months before that happened, and I packed on a fair bit of muscle first. You can try, it will be an intense 30 days, the trick is to not let it get you down if it doesn't happen. Long-term results don't usually come quickly.

1.Yes, dinner is essential in some form. It can be a smaller meal than lunch (mine is usually only a little bigger than a snack), but you should eat something. I like to keep my carbohydrates lower, and my protein a little bit high. It helps me get through the day without feeling sluggish around 2:30-3pm, but it really…

Go ahead and add me if you'd like! Maybe we can help each other over the "study" hiccups!

Agreed! Great *kitten* are made by squats, lunges, and all that stuff! Inclined treadmills, and stair steppers won't do half as good a job!

You can eat the whole egg. There is a lot of information out there saying that egg whites are better, but eating a whole egg isn't as bad as they make it seem. To make life easy on yourself hard boil some eggs on monday and keep them ready to go in the fridge for breakfasts. You can grab and go! I hated eating breakfast…

Your metabolism doesn't play catch up, its like your sleep cycle. When you over sleep or lose sleep one night, it doesn't mean you need to get more or less sleep to make up for it. I'd still eat your recommended calories for today, and just move on from yesterday. It happens, we all have those days. Pizza is delicious so I…

Count me in! I could use a short term goal right now! Sent a friend request :)

If you ask around at the gym, online etc., you'll notice a lot of people who eat really healthy often eat the same things. So if you find a few things that you do like that work within your required caloric intake then stick with those! The biggest upside of that is that you'll get really efficient at prepping your meals…

Thats one heck of an awesome support system! And the best part is he's learning healthy living skills from you that will carry him through the rest of his life! Way to go Mom!

My boyfriend was concerned about my lack of self esteem. I was emotionally flat all the time. I didn't feel happy, ever. The most I felt was anxiety and sadness. I had lost a decent amount of weight a few years previous and then promptly gained it all back. Which made me even more miserable. My boyfriend always told me I…

I don't know much about Adderall specifically since its not available in Canada, but I do know its in the same drug class as crystal meth, which scares the crap out of me! I'd be really careful with it, its equally as addictive.

I have a couple :) Not all low-cal healthy recipes! Pumpkin Bars (So delicious, but most likely very unhealthy) http://www.piarecipes.com/2012/11/pumpkin-bars.html Southwestern Chili (much healthier than the squares!) http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-slow-cooker-southwestern-2-bean-chicken/ I also had an…

I love me some local hops, and a good bottle of grapes over here! And I think cheese was my first true love <3 Feel free to add me if you'd like!

You could always try an infuser bottle! Just put some frozen fruit or something in the infuser, it will keep your water cold and give it some flavour!

The change in your face is amazing! Not to mention your radiating confidence in your after picture! Way to go! Thats an incredible weight loss for one year!! You're beautiful!

I like to prep all my meals at once for the week (I don't get around to doing it every week, but I work from home so...) I also try to have healthy grab and go snacks around. I have a bag of carrots, raw almonds, yoghurts etc handy whenever so I can keep my food intake up. The route of my weight gain had a lot to do with…

The first pair remind me of a pair of Jimmy Choo's that have the similar cut out detail. I think the second pair are more vintage looking. Its going to be a long day so I would probably go with the second pair for practicality. The first pair, although VERY cute, have more places for your feet to rub and blister :(

I'd love to take part! My start weight was 206lbs My current weight is 196.4lbs (as of last week Monday) My overall goal is 117lbs
