I was looking at this and cannot help but think of the cleavage sweat and the resulting pimples. I'm a lift-and-separate girl with weird allergies so yeah. :/ You should definitely shop around for a new bra or additional padding. If your old ones aren't creating that cleavage you want anymore, you may have gone down a size.

You look so youthful!

Hmm my wake up call was probably when I realized I kept being asked how many kids I have, probably because I looked like someone who's given birth twice and never kept the weight off. Oh the awkward silence that descends when I answer that I don't have kids.

Oh I thought I was the only one! Now that I've gone down 2 sizes, I get cold easily during long-haul bus rides!

Hmm, get it checked. It sounds like you're injured. Ask your doctor how long you have to rest and then take a break. You might also need to deload before you can get back on track. And then ask someone to check your form. Hip pain is a very common injury developed due to poor form. It will take longer to progress through…

Aw come on, don't give up because of a measly 5 pounds! Take this as a lesson in moderation. Last year, I kept gaining like 7-10 pounds when I'm in the city (I love calorie bombs. :D), and I always get back to my working weight after a few weeks. Take a chill pill. Tons of us here have the same problems, so you've got a…

Hmm, from what I understood (correct me if I'm wrong, please!) you're trying to get your hubby on board the weight loss train with you, and you feel awful when you see him sabotaging your plans. It's really nice of you to worry about him, but if he's bringing you down, maybe you should drop him off the diet/plan/exercise…

I was going to say that this could be a challenge, but that part about helping you to stop thinking about food? That's it, I'm trying this one out. Thanks for the tip!

If I'm feeling pretty good, I'll do body weight resistance stuff in the morning, then cardio/lifting in the evening. I guess it's okay to workout often. If you think about it, people doing manual labor are basically doing cardio or lifting objects the whole day. :)

Hit the nail on the head. WTF, OP? "Hey brah, you'll fail 'coz you always need support." WTF, man? Quit judging, yo. Some people need constant motivation, some don't. Good for you if you're part of the latter, but don't push your mindset with the others.

I've edited my students' and juniors' technical papers before and here are my 2 cents. 1. Is it necessary to capitalize all letters of "aspirin"? If you're referring to the product, and not an acronym, it's best not to capitalize as it makes people think that it is an acronym. 2. Does "pilot scope" refer to the methods,…

I just found this today, and it's so totally going to my wall. I didn't say it would be easy; I said it would be worth it.

Hmm, this thread is pretty good: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/846380-dumbbell-only-strength-training-program

I've read that it's okay to start low then work your way up, so that's what I'm doing. My plan is to focus on form first because I'm really scared of risking injury I could have prevented with proper form. Also, I think I will easily get discouraged if I am forced to reduce weight on my lifts because of stubbornness. Are…

Oh my goodness, it's a total transformation! You look so much younger, and you're totally rocking your new body. Great job in pushing yourself through those 8 months!

That would be any food I myself prepare. Now I see why being able to prepare my own food contributes to fitness; the store-bought stuff and family meals tend to be the major calorie and sodium bombs.

If it ain't broke, don't fix. it. By the way, how sweet of you to take care of your wife like this. NOW DELETE THIS THREAD BEFORE SHE SEES IT. :D

Have you tried measuring your body fat%? For all you know, you've built up muscles which are waaay denser than fat. Keep at it, hun!

Legally, yes. It doesn't matter what the perp's intents were--for all we know, he takes groping as friendly fun. If the victim feels intimidated/harassed, the latter has good grounds to complain. Nope, negative. She didn't say she can't work out with men. Ditch the strawman, man. Edited by grammar nazis.

It's a matter of controlling yourself and talking to him about your goals. Tell him you'd super appreciate it if he supports you on this phase by not buying these stuff. However, if he's also buying them for himself, you really have to rein in your cravings. Just don't overthink this issue because it might become a bone to…

Oh, that's totally okay! The good thing is that you're getting closer to your goal. They say that it comes of easily during the first few days, so maybe that's that. The nutritional values (at least the generic ones) can also be found in other sites. If you're in doubt, you can weigh your food or look up reference images…

This this this. I have to wear like two bras just to keep them girls down. And gosh I have this shirt that smells oh so nice at first, but really stinks up after an hour. Soaking it overnight didn't help. :(

^ Awesome. Plus it will stick with them for life. I'd like to think that hooking former students/colleagues up with potential employers is already a good turn.

Another vote for Turbo! Our dogs are called Ingrid and Boris. The last one loves hanging out with use when we're working, so we call him Professor.

Skyrim, hands down. When my knee hurts, it's because of an arrow. :) What's the best compliment you've received?

This is so beautiful. I'm gonna think of these in my off days. :)

It looks like it. How much do you weight right now? What are these exercises you're doing? It's best to use the tools here in MFP so you'll have an idea just how much you're taking in and burning up.

Call me a rube, but I love mozzarella. I cut up a cube, and then I cut that up into really thin slices, lay those out on bread and then nuke it. Yummy gooey cheesiness.

Word. I was about to say the same thing.
