I tried to be a housewife.... but after a year, i started to feel like I wasn't doing anything worthwile. I felt like I needed to impact the world in a larger way. Also, I got bored. It didn't take me long to cook/clean/laundry. But i didn't have any kids, so it is probably very different. Raising a child is very…

Have you also tested your all day burn w/o exercise? You might be tracking the calories you get just existing, sleeping, eating, putting away groceries...etc. That might be part of the issue. And I believe the MFP-over estimation issue was with slow burning activities, like cooking, vacuuming, walking at a slow pace, etc.

I have been doing this for years, but not for future disease cures. When I was growing up, my mom always made sure that I ate a rotating color scheme of fruits and vegitables, she said it was because different fruits and vegitables had different levels of necessary vitamins, minerals, and what not. IDK. My mom is very…

Cold turkey was really effective for me. I cannot drink diet coke anymore. However, i went through horrible caffeine withdrawls: headaches, fatigue, and irritability. And it lasted an entire week. Totally brutal. I would reccomend following the easing-off advice that other MFP-ers are reccomending. The withdrawls really…

^This^ Side planks are much harder because they only use stabilitzing muscles. I mean, how often do you really use your obliques? I have dificulty with them too, but it is worth it because side planks work an entirely different set of musculature.

I like a wide range of music, so i'm not sure if you'll like these or they'll be too heavy or offensive. But check 'em out. I love energizing music! Rev Theory "Hell Yeah" Seether "Fake It", "Country Song" Three Days Grace "Pain" Muse "Uprising" Bruno Mars "Drive By" Rise Against "Savior" Pitbull "Back in Time" Slash…

I hate skinny jeans on everyone: men or women, skinny, regular, chubby, whatever. They are not flattering at all for any figure. GROSS

Thanks for the link ritchie, i found it nice to read a tip in "a b c" easy mode! lol :tongue:

hug enthusiastically! :happy:

And what on earth is a reverse diet? Does this involve donuts?

Add me if you want, but i seem to only have girl friends.... a guy might make it weird. :tongue:

Fort Worth? No. Fort Campbell, yes!

OP: you were just asking if we would or would not, correct? Whats up with the philisophical debate about where porn and art meet? Whoa! Pose for a magazine= no, i'm not that brave! Pose for a lover= yes, done that!

hug... while fondeling your pretty hair!

Ditto

Great job! I had a huge diet coke fix too.... had to go cold turkey though when I shipped to basic training. After I finished... i couldn't stand the taste! couldn't even finish one can!

Woah! Are you photoshopped? :love:

Tell him that he is making you feel bad. Let him know that you want his support in being healthy. His criticism is unnecessary, and painful. Sweety, i wish you the best of luck. This is a diffficult situation.

I prefer real, heavy cream. It has fats in it, but it fits within my calorie goals for the day. Plus by using a dairy product you are getting "good fats" and calcium. Good luck finding a yummy coffee additive!

Hey! Feel free to add me, i'm getting back into running. Just did sprints this morning! If you want to talk running and running related pain issues, i am all over that! :tongue: Good luck with beginning to lift!

Wow! i'm amazed! if I had that kind of success I would make it into a huge celebration: total spa day, shopping for a new cute outfit, plus host a dressy-girls-night-out!

Pet her tattoo... so pretty! lol

That's me! But I only have fruit in the morning.... and it counts as pretty much my only sugar. :(

False. :blushing: I've never gone skydiving

http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ I'm only 5 feet tall and female, and i'm eating 1300 calories as my base. Check out the IIFYM calculator, use it to check. MFP set my calories too low. When i used the IIFYM calculator, i set it a litte/no exercise, since i wasn't sure how accurate the exercise tracker was. Hope it helps.

Where i'm living, it is getting over a hundred degrees outside w/ humidity and altitude. I am trying to run more outside, and i found the ONLY time I can run without feeling like s**t is to run in the morning before the heat and humdity kick in. That's my motivation to getting out the door, knowing it will be way worse…

I am so proud of you! Congrats on your accomplishment! :drinker: *highfives*

Woah... epic
