I think they're worth the price if you're using them regularly. I bought a new pair two years ago ($279 + tax + shipping) and have no regrets. I take a weekly class and was paying $20 every 5 weeks for the boots rental. You sweat so much in the class that I did not feel comfortable putting my feet in boots that someone…

looks yummy, thanks for the recipe

Thanks for such a well written post. I tried to respond to the female in the 800 cal post, but I think MFP may have deleted her as the page bounced back. As someone who has successfully done a VLCD *and* kept the weight off, I found it quite offensive that many comments were rude and demeaning to the poster. Weight loss is…

Bump for cheesecake recipe!

I would like to participate. Don't want to be team captain. How are teams being formed?

I'm in.

Bump - I like kapeluza's summary.

#2 plays up your legs. Considering how hard you've worked for your figure, you want all eyes on YOU, not your accessories. So I vote for #2 (nude color).

I've never tried truvia, but the stevia I use has NO after taste. Maybe it's the brand, type and amount being used. I use Naturals Clear Liquid Stevia. No more than 3-4 drops per use. Initially I was using too much and it made my food taste funny, the more I cut back, the sweeter it became.

The last link you found (www.naijarules.com/...." shows the right foods and pictures. Palm butter is the soup dish, not the shortening in the other link. I don't even mind adding all the calories including the oil. Although removing 3-4 cups of paln oil is a lot different than blotting a slice of pizza...lol.. I'm still…

Thanks TropicalKitty. This is a great site to have handy. Unfortunately, I still can't find my food items. Palm butter pulls up palm oil with is not the same thing. Palm butter produces palm oil, which I skim of the top when I prepare it to lower my cholesterol. Most food products purchased at African stores (in the US) do…

36-33-42. I have similar issues with clothes. You need to invest in a dry cleaner with excellent alterations. I even go as far as having some of my clothes custom designed and tailored because I always have to buy larger sizes off the rack. Dresses: 8/10 or M, Pants 10/12 or L.

Ashleyrenae253 you are my exact twin. People just don't realize how important the 3/4 is.

My gym using LifeFitness machines. The Treadmill always matches my heart rate monitor for calories burned. But LifeFitness Elliptical count is usually 75 to 100 calories higher than my HRM. I think the LifeFitness stats is more accurate of the machines.

Thanks for the feedback. I mostly drink green tea with no sugar added. I was starting to feel disappointed in myself for averaging 4/5 glasses of water a day. If I try to drink more than that, I feel bloated and force-fed. With tea, I'm easily at 8+.

I'm on HCG now. I'm not strictly following the 500 calories. I actually set my calories goal to 750 and sometimes cheat up to 1000 calories. I've lost 12 lbs since starting it one month ago, 2/11. The first four days was pure hell - headaches, stomach growling, cravings. But now I feel fine. Some days I eat less than 500…
