Quirky

I don't log it and just think of it as a little bonus on the scale. Sometimes I drink a little bit of orange juice during class along with water and sometimes I won't log that either. I figure they cancel each other out a bit :)

I've done aerial silks for a bit and am now starting hoop & trapeze. It is HARD and even in shape people typically don't have the strength needed to do it right away, and that's okay! Instructors know that and will work with you to build strength while learning the basics. Often gyms have "taster" classes or one-offs where…

I'm 5'5", lost 42 pounds and went from an 18 to 14.

You cannot grow additional myocytes (muscle cells), the cells can only hypertrophy (get bigger). Cells can only get so large before they have too much internal size to function well/maintain membrane integrity, so your muscles can only get so strong before a limit is reached.

I like pepperidge farm's 15 grain bread

If I were you, I'd go over your calories today by just a couple hundred (500 should be enough for a decent dinner) and maybe try to get in another round of exercise sometime this week. Or just let it go honestly--a few hundred calories one day will not be your breaking point. Save the treat for tomorrow!

Hey Devin! Best of luck to you too. And nice UVA tee...I went to W&M!

With this app I ate a trader joe's smore ice cream sandwich...for breakfast. Oops! Still within my calorie goal though : )

Vegetarianism (and I am one, for ethical reasons) works in so far as you replace meat calories with fruit and veggie calories. Reduced red meat intake has also been shown to be good for your heart, but to people who think that turning to vegetarianism will automatically make them more healthy, I just have to laugh. If…

Women get fat when they're pregnant because they overeat. In reality women need only gain ~15 pounds when pregnant.

I think you're doing a great job by making small changes slowly to your diet and seeing how it goes. As for incorporating more fat, I'd say try to incorporate some things into your diet that are a bit creamy or "indulgent." Doing that helps me get some fats in my diet and not feel like I am dieting. e.g. yesterday I had a…

People this is SCIENCE. It is not their job nor intention to either provide you a reason to lose weight nor to give you an excuse never to try. This is not propaganda. Dismissing science because it makes you nervous about your current endeavors is foolish. Take this information for what it is, and use it to not slip back…

that beard!

Doesn't mess around!

I don't really pay any attention to my sugar, but I just looked back on my recent food diaries and I often eat 40-50 g sugar a day. I am happy to open my diary if it would be of help.

I usually eat dinner around 7-8 pm but don't usually sleep until after midnight, at which point I generally feel hungry again. I actually kind of like it, though. It's sort of like feeling sore after the gym for me--you know you're working hard! I am also a big proponent of nothing being off limits. If you want a cookie,…

I actually generally don't like to pre-log. It helps to me feel less restricted and more "normal." Plus I think I get a little motivational boost with each healthy decision I make. Different strokes for different folks, I guess :)

I don't think it devalues the deed itself, but the person who did the deed.

N/A Have you ever climbed onto a roof/building?

My boyfriend is long long distance, so I drew/made a bunch of punny valentines and mailed them to him.
