All I want to know is why didn't you eat ALL OF THE FROSTING? Assuming it was the buttercreme-type stuff and not that faked whipped fake stuff of fakeness.

I think I would enjoy watching this, especially as a GIF.

Cannot help, but wanted to say that I like that you refer to it as treading! I do also-- "I'm going in the basement to tread for a while." Hehe.

Great job! Potential health benefits aside, think of all the money you'll save! And not dealing with the returnables/recyclables is a relief too. Wishing you the best!

Hmmm. Obviously not directed to me, but here's something of an analogy. About five years ago, I sprained my ankle pretty badly at the bottom of a set of stairs. I can't remember if I thought there was another step and there wasn't or vice versa, but the point is: I hurt myself on the stairs. Now, I know how to walk down…

Four words you rarely see together! :) I had a 'blah I can't eat 1200!' day yesterday. I know this is more about people who say it every day, but feeling that way yesterday made me give it some thought. Most foods that aren't calorie dense just don't have that same OH GOD I AM DELICIOUS EAT ME UNTIL YOU PUKE sexiness that…

I dunno. Kinda sad, kinda meh? Yeah. I could go to sleep right now--at 7:30 PM--and be ok with it.

Aaaand it was pretty good! I *really* should have used less cabbage. My rice was a little underdone, but I'm blaming that on the cabbage as well. It was VERY filling. My 11 year old daughter ate a good sized plate without complaint (though also without praise, lol). Will keep!

BMR is at best an estimate in any case, just as everything else to do with a calorie burned or a calorie eaten... and one method of calculating will give you a different answer than another. If I'm not mistaken, it has a lot to do with body fat percentage which... again... is only going to be an estimation without…

Dying at the gym could ruin an otherwise quite delightful day, I would imagine.

Loving this topic and everyone's great stories. I don't know if it's just the posts I choose to read on here or what, but sometimes I start to feel like if I'm not squatting 300 lbs while jump roping uphill barefoot in compression pants, I'm not working hard enough. :)

Hah! If you look at my fat butt in a pair of yoga pants, I bet VPL are probably the last thing you'd complain about. And if I had a nice juicy butt and the lines of my undies bothered your view? You could kiss it and get over it, because seriously? lol. Same goes for my rack, come to think of it. Oh, different rack, nvm.

You look great before and after, Crosby fan! Congratulations on the success from your hard work! Psst-- start lifting now. It won't hurt ya. :)

Ok, I just put this in the crock! You're on the clock, OP! :laugh: Couple minor changes cos it's what I had-- tomato sauce instead of chunky things, no Hungarian paprika... will probably just have mozzarella cheese. I expect it will still be delicious! Also, I swear, I had the world's most dense cabbage-- probably could…

Mine's open because I figure if I'm gonna participate in the message boards and I'm out here talking some talk, I should be willing to back it up... or at least allow people to see where I'm coming from, if they want to. I'm secure in my choices. I think it actually keeps me more honest than if it were closed. It's like...…

edit: Actually, I take back my snarky/jokey reply. I do track them for the most part, but I don't kill myself over it. If I'm the one cooking, I weigh them because it's just as easy to do as not to. But if someone else in the house is cooking, I won't ask them how much they put in a recipe just so that I can be PERFECT. I…

:explode: :explode: :sad: :explode: :huh: :noway: :ohwell: (dealing with a hormone-infused tweenage girl)

I can't remember if it's officially Love and Rockets or The Cure, but it's pretty much the same thing anyway. :smooched:

That is... pretty awesome. Almost as awesome as your crotch shot profile pic, but not quite. Good luck with your studies, cheerbabe. :ohwell:

You are entitled to your opinion, and it's a good thing you clarified that it's all just your opinion. Statements like "If you're overweight, you're not healthy. I'm sorry to tell you. It's very simple. Overweight is unhealthy no matter what way you look at it" kind of make it sound like it's not an opinion, but an…

Mmm, this looks yummy! I gotta admit, even though I saw 'casserole' in the title, when I read the bit about chopping up the cabbage I was momentarily like, 'But how you gonna stuff it like that?' :need a smiley with a dunce cap:

I don't know if you're in the wrong, but the point is that it's arbitrary. And even if it wasn't, even if the whole site were able to come together and say that at point X, definitively, without a doubt, weight becomes unattractive... How does that help anyone? You better hope that you're under that magic number, otherwise…

That is so fabulous! Congrats on the treadmill thing-- 3mph is a toughie for me, too!

Oh. In THAT case: The definitive answer is 42. 42 is the point at which weight becomes unattractive. 42 pounds, centimeters, IQ points, years, degrees, hamsters? I don't know. That is a topic for another little nattering post. Until then, 42. Absolutely.

Doesn't matter, so long as you're consistent... and I am not, lol. It's anywhere from nakies to sweatpants and a t-shirt. Then I wonder why the scale and I don't get along... But seriously, who measures height with shoes on? I guess again, as long as you're consistent... but seriously? Isn't it REALLY OBVIOUS that it's…

Wow, she's got some tall genes! My 11 year old is about maybe 5'2 to my 5'5, and that's almost too close for comfort for me, haha! I expect she'll end up taller than I am--and hope so!--but just not yeeeeet. You seem to be taking it very well-- I know my daughter's father would be totally freaked out if she were taller…

This is sch a depressing topic. There is always someone who is going to think someone else is fat, and there is always someone who is going to think someone else is fabulous. And what's worse, at any given time, what those people say and what they actually think deep down aren't even going to be the same thing. There's…

I'm in the middle of a 15 day trial for thegymbox.com ... It's $10/month for unlimited streaming of a variety of workouts--step aerobics, kickboxing, yoga, strength training, cardio dance, etc--with new ones added weekly. I like it so far, but there are a bunch of different sites that offer the same kind of thing.

You were already an extreme though. Now you're just doubly extreme. It's like anew flavor at DQ! Language is fluid.

Only the ones that are made with real Girl Scouts.
