I'm a fan of Fage myself. My husband swears by it. We normally add some hemp seeds for flavoring (or get the Fage with peach/strawberry etc). We've also replaced using sour cream with Fage (off topic I know hehe). The only downside to Fage is the price (sometimes). I normally stock up whenever they go on sale for $1/cup.

Can't believe I only found this group now :) I live in Anaheim but I work out constantly at Bikram Yoga in Costa Mesa (the CAMP). Friend requests welcome.

I'm a software engineer.

I would practice with having my leg rested on a waist-level support, e.g. the sink/desk/table. Then I'd go reach for the leg as if I'm doing the standing head to knee, this way I can focus on the body stretching to reach my leg. I realized that when I first started doing this I'm more afraid of going off balance/falling…

@bikinisuited: sorry to hear about your injury :( -- in my book you did it though!!

@bikinisuited: how's your 30/60 day challenge? That's so great that you're doing this!!

I work out at a Bikram studio in Costa Mesa (Orange County) -- I'm afraid that's between LA and SD though :)

I'm a pear! I definitely gain weight on the bottom half. Was half hoping I'll get an hour glass but I'll have to lose 2 inches on the hips :tongue:

What about flavored water or coconut water? I'm also a big fan of green juice :)

My challenging poses are the awkward pose (my thighs just burn!!) and the standing bow pull (primarily because I'm exhausted from standing head to knee before that). I normally do pretty well with Tree Pose/Toe Stand -- just remember to keep your back straight and pull your body more up. With Toe Stand I'm not always able…

With creamer/almond milk and stevia/splenda. I've stopped drinking REAL coffee though, I've switched to drinking Teeccino ("herbal" coffee, made entirely of nuts, almonds) -- tastes very close to coffee without the caffeine crash/dehydration. I must say I do miss real coffee from time to time :tongue:

If you ever make it out to Anaheim (I'm near Disneyland) -- give a shoutout! Interestingly enough your stats are so similar to mine :) I'm 30, 5'4" and shooting for 1250-1300/day. I'm not a big runner/gym rat though. I'm more of a yoga person :laugh:

Do you do bikram yoga in the morning or in the evening? For me, I'd do yoga mostly in the evenings... which means I really have to power up during lunch. Normally I'd make sure I'd have enough carbs at lunch so I have more energy doing the workout. To be quite honest with you, it's pretty difficult to figure out how much…

time to get a speedo? :bigsmile: Congrats on the weight loss!

awesome dress and congrats on the weight loss :smile:

I've been going for 2 years now and have always gone into the studio barefooted. Maybe this is just my personal preference but I didn't really mind the smell -- probably got used to it after a while. Needless to say, I never developed any fungal infection or anything of the sort for stepping around the sweaty studio LOL. I…

buddies :)

I try to eat back my exercise calories although I think I overestimate at times :explode:

I'm similar to you minus the height :tongue: height: 5'4" CW: 120.2 lbs GW: 110-115lbs

Age: 30 Height: 5'4" Start weight: 121 lbs Current Weight: 120 lbs Goal Weight: 110 lbs (I'd be happy with 115lbs + muscles too :laugh: ) I'm trying to lose my newlywed spread, aiming to lose around 1-1.5 lbs a week and boy it's hard! My weight fluctuates quite a bit but I have to say ever since tracking my calorie intake…

Thanks for sharing... I've been struggling with fluctuations myself.

Wish I have time to make myself a proper breakfast. A cup of Teeccino and a fuji apple for me this morning!

I know huh... Anyone getting a Chinese character tattoo should go here first :tongue:

This dictionary says it's jue xin, meaning determination. http://www.nciku.com/search/zh/detail/%E5%86%B3%E5%BF%83/1308422

It's quite difficult for me to stick to my sugar intake as well if you take fruits into account. I totally agree -- eating fruits/veggies shouldn't put a dent on your totals. I normally focus more on sugars in other items coz let's face it, eating an apple and a glass of carrot juice would put you over the limit in no time…

mandatory myspace bathroom cellphone pic :laugh:

if I was single, yes :tongue:

Didn't know you could do this :tongue: Will definitely try it out next time. Thanks for sharing!!

You can do it!!!!
