I've lost the complete Oxford English Dictionary as well as the amount of pizza an average American eats in a year.....that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue as nicely as "I've lost an Elephant's penis"......maybe I could go with "I've lost 3 elephant's penises minus slightly less than the average human newborn"....no.…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........SO SAAAAAAAD! seriously though. I spent the whole thread wondering how the heck I can find this and then I scrolled past you and you broke my heart.

I don't know if I gain weight around that time. I know that while I was losing, I would stay the same when I "should" have been losing a fair amount (I had to go at the deficit pretty hardcore in order to lose a substantial amount of weight in a short period of time). Now that I'm just maintaining and I don't check on a…

ideally you should be around 2000mg a day at the most....lower (around 1500 a day) if you have a problem with high blood pressure. For your electrolytes to be "thrown off" by going low salt you'd have to be doing some heavy duty exercise and dumping all the sodium you DO get through your sweating. Keep in mind that you…

baaahahaha! I thought I was the only one who did that. The bottom of my range according to the BMI for my height is technically 118, although my height is almost 3 inches less than it was a few years ago due to my spine leaning to the right after an injury, so if I go by my old height to suit my actual frame it would be…

gurrrrrrrrl please. you're not old, fat OR ugly. Congratulations on your engagement! I too just got engaged this year and I'm 35 as well. Definitely about stinkin' time. I'm sure everyone else has already said all the things that matter, but I will say this....up until a couple years ago I was hanging around the 300 pound…

riiiiiiiiiight? it's like a bad car accident....you don't WANT to see it. You just can't look away.

do you lift, though? someone who does that kind of body building stuff is going to have a heck of a lot more muscle than someone who doesn't.....muscle, being more dense than fat is going to take up less space and require smaller clothes. there will be quite a clothing size disparity between someone who regularly does…

Here's one for ya....It didn't happen to me, but to my brother-in-law's friend....they were out in the bush playing capture the flag. A group of them would go out old logging roads and find forested area with no trail to set up their boundaries. Anyway....he was running, but there was a little drop off.....because the…

good gravy! what do they even do for that after it's been so long since the trauma occurred?

I was about 12 pounds....40 stitches later, I made my way out....messed up my mom's hips for life. I feel like I made up for it by a) immediately and consistently sleeping 11 - 12 hours through the night and b) giving my dad my kidney so she could keep her husband for a little longer ;)

oy....face pain is the worrrrst. that's one of the only spots I've ever really felt stuff normally. Like dental pain. yowza. I'd probably have lost it if i were you going for so long with that!

5'6.5", SW 310 size 22-24 CW 140 size 6.....would be 4 if it weren't for needing the extra space to stuff the skin into :P

just keep it up and add in whatever exercises are safe and aren't going to cause you more damage than help as you can....once you get used to it and it becomes a habit it will get a lot easier. Depending on whether or not you find you actually really like whatever you choose to do (enough to do a lot of it), you might find…

bone marrow biopsy. stupid pathologist was new. took an hour and a half to do a 15 minute job. It was made worse by the fact that it was completely unnecessary, but i was basically being held hostage by the fact that the kidney transplant team wouldn't allow me to continue with the donation process if i didn't do…

you'll get way too many opinions that are just that....opinions (as opposed to fact based advice) if you invite anybody to tell you if you're eating the "right things" since everyone has a different idea of what that looks like. You'll have people who tell you sugar is the devil, people who tell you artificial sweeteners…

@PoppetsMaster I have no house of my own...or kids....and I thrift for all my clothes for running or not....but I guess I just make so little that it would literally come down to choosing to eat or not for a few weeks...and I do an average of 20k every single day, so.....gurrrrl needs ta EAT @MobyCarp I haven't had cable…

I see people with these lists of races they're slogging through and wonder how on earth anybody can afford the registration costs for all these things. lol

Got my new Skoras delivered today....with extra duties and brokerage fees from customs....which when you include the shipping made those $109 shoes almost $200.....Why Canada sucks and just doesn't have these here, I don't know....

bahaha....well....we HAVE a website for Merrells...just no zero drop running shoes. All kinds of hiking shoes and such. I guess Canadians are apparently more apt to walk up mountains than go for a road run

haha...i had done a BIT of poking around ebay...hadn't found anything in my size yet that I thought might suit. A lot of them seemed to be a bit high stack for my liking

I tried....they don't ship to Canada :'( I've ordered a pair of Skora....THEY ship to Canada. I'll have a crack at those because I also need ones that don't lace all the way up at the ankle as my right heel is so much narrower that I have to lace super tight to keep the shoe from slipping on the back of my foot...ones that…

I find that as well. I am a cheap CHEAP girl and I tend to buy my shoes in thrift stores...even running shoes. I lucked out and just happened to grab some that turned out to be zero drop....loved them to death, but they were second hand so they didn't last as long as new ones would have due to the amount of mileage they…

Indeed...My sister, her husband, 4 kids and his parents had to cram into the 2 vehicles they managed to find enough gas for to get out of town and drive through neighbourhoods that were entirely lit up. Helicopters were dropping water on either side of the highway to hold back the fire enough for cars to get through.... I…

:S Neither of those sound like a good time

i totally posted about this on my FB and one of my friends pretty much immediately signed up....i might go with

Amen...and since my mouth cares more than my body, I'll take the friggin' waffle! :D

but a unit of energy doesn't change. it really just is what it is.....if someone processes it differently because of some kind of medical issue, the difference is the person, not the calorie.

that sounds pretty awesome...but i'd rather have couches and cake at the end. As for the train, unfortunately the train came in 7th of all 160 racers and I only came in #23.....sad day. I was the 5th overall of the ladies....but that doesn't win me anything. also sad. lol
