Had a friend take hydroxycut for months and he got sent to the hospital because his resting heart rate was so high. It's not a safe product for weight loss. If you want more energy, just eat a balanced diet of fats/carbs/protein , drink plenty of water and get a good nights sleep. An extra kick? Coffee, tea, dark chocolate.

Tackling the questions that matter.

Can I use real life examples of what has happened to me? Here goes: Best: "Hello." (with a kind smile) Worst: Anything referring to how badly they want to have sex. That just makes my lady parts go

I was always told growing up that they guy should pay. In my (albeit limited) experience, it really doesn't matter. If he offers to pay, I let him. If he doesn't offer I pay my own share, no questions asked. The one time I paid my own meal though, I left the date thinking the guy was uninterested in seeing me again because…

Hey there! First off, good for you getting treatment and giving a healthy lifestyle a chance at the same time. It's not easy, at all, to really live a healthy lifestyle while also trying to manage symptoms of mental illnesses. Last year, getting out of bed was simply NOT going to happen for me...and getting up to go…

So...you just walk around with a tube sticking out from your abdomen? Aside from all the eating disordered problems with this, how the heck is this even safe at all? A tube like that near all those organs??? No thanks.

Check the tightness of the strap. It shouldn't slip AT ALL when on, but not so tight you can't think about anything but the strap haha.

Bought two bikinis today. :bigsmile: Plan on wearing them often and getting really tan~ I am so excited to feel comfortable outside this summer.

Like others have said; rest days are CRITICAL. Drinking water (at least 2L a day) cannot be understated in it's importance.

Sweet dreams~.

I would! Track it, but don't let yourself feel guilty, just roll with it. :)

You look so much happier in the second pic! :) Great job OP, you worked hard and got results!

Just FYI, the fitbit is really just a pedometer. Not a HRM or GPS. It's useful for slow paced workouts like walking.

Finally brave enough to take a picture. :blushing: *edit* stupid imgur being finicky...

This video makes my day, man.

People always say "it has to come from within" and I guess that is true. What I have found is that I just think of ONE thing (even something small or insignificant to others) that I am good at or think is great about myself. I focus on that. In a way, I make myself feel better, knowing I'm not a waste of space. From there…

Can't speak from personal experience, but I lived with a couple (3 year long term relationship when I moved in) for a few years. Right before I moved in, the girlfriend began really packing on the pounds and doing little about it. The guy was supportive at first, even said he liked a little extra junk in the trunk. After I…

When I am in line waiting to order something and the person in front of me gets flustered and forgets what they want to order andfdsf=\dsfajdsjkfjlkdsjalkdfhlkjsahj SO CUTE I DON'T KNOW WHY????

As a grad student living in a city, I know plenty of people without cars...so that one isn't that weird. But I probably wouldn't go on a date with someone without a job (career) or place to live. ....but I never really date....soooooo. To the people saying there is a gender double standard...same thing if I was trying to…

Button down shirts. VESTS. OH GOD VESTS.

I have a similar problem, OP. Struggled for years, with not one main culprit behind the problem found by any of my doctors. My main issue is a gluten intolerance, which causes me to have a severe lack of nutrient adsorption despite the foods I eat. Maybe get your blood panel tested for vitamins? Having low vitamin B12 and…

Today was "What do I have open in the fridge Scrambled Eggs!" -1cup Egg beaters -1 tsp McCormick Salt Free Garlic Seasoning -100 g Diced roma tomatoes -120 g Reduced Sodium Bush's Black Beans -1/2 cup (can't remember weight) Corn kernels -1/4 cup unsweetened Almond Milk (to puff up the egg beaters) -100g sliced zucchini It…

I actually make something a lot like this! To spice things up now and then I will make nugget sized bites out of the chicken breasts. Then I coat them lightly in EggBeaters and roll them in 1/4 cup of sliced almonds (that I finely chopped further). I just really like chicken nugget/ nugget form foods so it's a win win for…

Pretend that one guy who works in the office with the sweaty hands rubbed said sweaty hands ALL OVER the pizza. Or pretend that someone sneezed on it. Brings in the ew factor.
