I'm 27. Youngest I would date is 25 (man or woman), oldest 35 (woman), or 45 (man).

Current: Grad student Dream: I'd have multiple ongoing careers as a geographer, environmental consultant, archaeologist, palaeontologist, documentary film maker, museum curator, fashion designer, and traveling food blogger. If just ONE of those would come true, I'd be happy.

my stomach in some rather flattering lighting

Tap water = free, sustainabile, less carbon footprint Soda = costs money, is not sustainable, takes much more energy to produce and be transported to your little mouth.

THIS times a million. Could not be simpler. Please don't pollute our world by buying bottled water. You have a tap. Use it. I have multiple BPA-free bottles around, so there is always one nearby. And there's always a tap or water fountain nearby too.

Hell ya! Paper day planners are the best, I love flipping through the pages, seeing what I've accomplished what I have l coming up, highlighting the important stuff, colour-coding things.... and the satisfaction of crossing out something on your daily to do list.... my god, it's orgasmic. We were just discussing this…

Like all things, make a schedule and stick to it. No exceptions, no excuses. You schedule the time into your schedule and commit to it, like a job. If you need to do something else, don't plan it during your work out time. That time is for working out only. If you are tired, do something less intensive. Go for a walk. But…

I always assume the lower number. It would vary from person to person and how much effort they put into it.

Vega One French Vanilla. I add a scoop of greek yogurt or half a banana sometimes.

Its amazing for your hair and scalp. Even for your face as a toner, if you can stand the smell....

I didn't say vegetables had NO sodium. But they are very low in sodium compare to meat. "Mother nature provides all the sodium we need".... yes, including salt. You're not making any sense. Humans need a certain amount of sodium to survive. They need to get it somewhere in their diet. Usually from meat or other sources of…

I'm in the same boat. My parents are salt-phobic and never add it to anything, and neither do I. I just never think of it. I also don't eat a lot of meat, unless I'm at a restaurant. I never realized how low my sodium was until I got on MFP!!! I was barely getting 500 mg, which is the minimum. It's actually more dangerous…

I'm lazy with beans. I have 4 main recipes I used beans for - usually canned and rinsed. 1- I'll make some multigrain rotini or other pasta. I'll take a can of 3-bean salad, put through strainer and rinse, that way they still have some of the taste of the 'salad' but without the sauce. I'll add them to the paste, add some…

I get you want to minimize processed food and eat 'clean', I think that's a good thing. I do it too. But throwing away perfectly good food??? It's couscous, not a twinkie FFS. JUST EAT IT. Nothing gets on my nerves more than throwing away perfectly good food. Just because it's 'a little high in carbs', BIG F-N DEAL. Avoid…

No one is forcing you to go to the gym. I understand asking co-workers or your classmates to avoid perfume if you are allergic. But the gym??? come on. Just work out at home if you can't tolerate other people doing nothing wrong.

I know what you mean! I finally bought my own scale a couple weeks ago, and I weigh myself every few hours lol, it's incredible how much I fluctuate from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, before after eating or going to the bathroom.... I was fluctuating by like 4 pounds the first couple of days. But I've decided…

continuous birth control - take the pills without stopping for the unnecessary withdrawl bleeding - no more periods. ETA: I have terrible endometriosis and had cysts, I am no stranger to pain. continuous bcp (now I'm on the mirena IUD though) is the only way I could control the pain. but before that, easy, mild exercises…

there are many brands of vegan protein powders that are lactose-free i think egg or soy based protein powders are also lactose free this site has tons of protein powders, listed by type. lots of non-dairy options: http://www.vitamart.ca/protein

I walk my dog several times a day (in summer time, not in january!) before work, after work, after dinner, before bed. I don't log my regular walks around the block, they are only 10 - 20 minutes each, depending on how interesting the smells along the way are. I do log longer leisure walks. I will sometimes walk for 2-3…

If I have breakfast, I often make a Vega One shake (135 calories). It's vegan, but I add greek yogurt, and sometimes a banana. Pretty filling! And super quick to make, I have a $10 blender from amazon:…

I think most people over-estimate how many calories they burn, and under-estimate how many calories they eat. but I wouldn't worry about it, and I wouldn't force myself to eat. as long as you are eating enough to get all the nutrition you need, and aren't ill, it's fine. you'll see results if you eat less than 1200…

how many calories are you eating? but no, eating below your calorie limit will not hinder weight loss. less calories = losing weight if you eat way too little calories, say 500-1000 per day, every day, for weeks or months on end, your metabolism slows down, it goes into a sort of 'starvation mode'. (beware, starvation mode…

water isn't yucky. it's like saying breathing air is yucky. drink water. use a brita filter if you prefer for a 'cleaner' taste.

no one knows more and cares more about what's in their protein powders than the folks on bodybuilding.com. they are pretty serious about their protein. I suggest reading the reviews and such on that site.

The only non-real-life-friend I follow on instagram is @tunameltsmyheart 100% PURE PHYSICAL BEAUTY, no makeup, no photoshop Sure an inspiration to the positive body image movement

age: 27 weight: 116lbs bust: 32??? (I don't measure my bust but my bra size is 32A lol) waist: 26 Hips: 39 Goal weight: 105lbs (really just want my hips to fit back into my clothes again) I'm what is known as 'pear shaped'.

I was in love with this sexy thread, until this pic came up: what the hell? that's not sexy! lol, is he doing duck lips, what is that??? ok, back to the yummy pics....

It was intentionally vague and theoretical. I've heard comments from people, bashing others who can barely finish a 5k, go on to attempt a 10k. They say you get more health benefits from running a 5k efficiently and quickly then if you struggle to finish a 10k. But it seems when most people set up running goals it is…

I danced ballet as a child, then took a class again when I was 18, and now I'm back at it (I'm 27 now, getting too old for dancing at the night clubs lol). Though I'm taking the course at my university (yep, still a grad student) and it's taught by a fellow student, so maybe not the best quality dance class, but it's cheap…

First of all, just love your boobs. There is no such thing as perfect boobs, all boobs are different shapes and sizes. Secondly, wearing a bra vs. not wearing a bra is still up for debate. Some studies say it reduces sagginess, some say it makes it worse, and some say it has no effect at all. So just d what you are…
