"w3.org/1999/xhtml" sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763407000589" There is evidence that suggests sugar can be an addictive substance.

Exactly. The fact that its not possible to render proper study on the subject is the point of my post. I'm not saying that sugar is or isn't addictive, I'm just saying its basically impossible to test the theory. I wouldn't be surprised if people went a little bonkers though

Wow LOL What makes him think that you would even want a man who was so vain and insecure that he can't handle your strength? Don't allow anyone's silly comments to discourage you from living your life. Being fit is for YOU. Being fit will be something you can benefit from and take pride in every day for thee rest of your…

Well, since soda/sugar is neither expensive nor illegal that isn't really a fair comparison. If sugary products were suddenly to be banned, I would not be surprised if some people did react in exactly that way.

To me, "Skinny" is and always always has been a negative thing. Being called skinny doesn't make me happy, it makes me sound frail and weak. When I see a skinny dog, my instinct is to feed it not congratulate it. There are people who are naturally slender and petite but still very healthy. The word skinny applies to them…

Asparagus spears sauteèd in a little butter and black pepper is amazing. I like to use my veggie mandolin to slice my veggies extra thin then layer them in place of noodles for lasagna. Grate onions and garlic into sauces for an extra kick of bold flavor. Steamed veggies covered in pasta sauce and sprinkled with parmesan…

Sleep and a clear sinus

I was in Popeye's today and very nearly grabbed a bottle of CLA but decided it wasn't worth 50 bucks. Even if it does work I don't actually need it to lose weight. Maybe if I were training for an IBBF Pro Competition, I would be more interested in diet supplements but as it is, I'd rather save that $50 for something I…

Its like a croissant filled with a whipped cream/butter cream hybrid. Flippin' fantastic. Probably at least a 1000 calories per serving but so worth it. (some people stuff them with fruit)

Black Label Society

Last night I was very excited because I was planning to take my husband to this cute little bakery to get a butterhorn (if you've never had one, you haven't yet lived). I pre-logged that dessert 3 days in advance, I was so determined to have one. I've been telling people about this thing for 6 months and every time I drive…

I just love protein so I tend to go 40% protein and then 30-30 for carbs and fat. That way I get to have more eggs and chicken lol

I did a treadmill circuit and voluntarily did 1 minute sprints even though I hate running more than anything else.

Sort of tough to give a short answer on this one lol Since my highest weight, I am down 35lbs (Highest weight being 220 and currently 195) However after my first child was born I got down to 160 (down 60) then I got pregnant again and my 'starting' weight this time around was 210. I've lost 15lbs in the last 2 months.

This. Make sure you are keeping hydrated and give your body a chance to shed some excess fluid build-up, then weigh again.

Being able to acknowledge hunger without panicking or binging is a good thing. Trying to deliberately feel hungry all the time is not. If being hungry affects your mood, I'm guessing your family will consider it a bad thing lol

Yeah its horrible - but I actually have noticed a big improvement since I got my IUD. If that is a possibility for you, I recommend it.

Everybody should keep their bouncy bits under control (as much as possible) But if they don't its usually good for a chuckle

After you log each exercise, just click the item and it will give you an option to edit either the duration or the calorie burn for each exercise. Switch it to 1

I'm doing it for me - my husband is torn about whether he wants me to lose weight (my boobs are bigger now, so he doesn't mind the extra lbs lol) And no one in my life has ever said anything rude, cruel or hurtful about my size, so its not about that. I just miss being fit and strong. And climbing trees. You can't climb…

A side of cottage cheese will bump up your protein intake and keep you satisfied long (yogurt would work too - Oikos Key Lime is fantastic)

Eggs with breakfast, nuts/nut butter with snacks, tuna with lunch, chicken breast for dinner. Usually works out to 115-135 grams of protein in a day. And I never eat over 1600 calories.

Allmax Isonatural is 118 calories & 27grams of protein for a 30gram serving.

Ok, this made me laugh :D

I equate 50 Shades with Twilight - an embarrassment to the art of writing. The way they portray BDSM is completely inaccurate and misrepresentative. They glamorize abuse and pretend that it is love and romance. Is it not bad enough that 1 in 3 women can expect to be abused by a romantic partner in her lifetime? Why would…

Its nearly 5pm and I haven't even eaten my lunch yet... I hate when I go through phases of having no appetite because it always comes back with a vengeance at the worst possible time So I can go a few days of eating a thousand calories (or less) and then suddenly I get so hungry that I inhale half a bakery.

Preferably nude, first thing in the morning (after peeing) around the same time each day. I only record Monday weigh-ins but I weigh every day just to keep track of my weekly fluctuations. If I am going to a Dr's appt I make sure to weigh myself in clothes after a light meal before I go (just so I won't be upset/surprised…

I forgot to add: Slobs, people who won't clean up their own messes. People who are still overly-dependent on Mommy &/or Daddy to fix everything.

I am addicted to gummy candies - particularly wine gums and sour cherry blasters. The most effective way to fight this is to keep them out of the house, however I will also buy the mini halloween-sized packs and eat half (and share the rest with my kids). I don't drink alcohol often - or wine, ever - so I can't really…
