California girl currently trapped in the Milwaukee suburbs. (But I love it here, too ^__^)

salmon you don't even need to cook it! haha (i'm a sushi/sashimi fanatic)

I love body pump. I've done it twice a week for the past four months or so. It kicked my *kitten* at first! Wow! I barely take the stairs out of the gym after the first class. I still sweat a lot now, it really gets my heart beating, but I don't feel that it is as good of a workout as it used to be. Good, because it means…

fishnet tights make cellulite invisible. and they're sexy as hell too ;)

I don't drink juice. It has as much sugar as soda. You're better off eating the whole fruit and having a glass of water. If I'm gonna drink my calories, I want alcohol ;)

I like wearing tutus. this is me last year before a paint party ^__^ I made it myself!

Sorry I don't have any advice for your exercises, but you have the perfect stomach~ The curves you are losing could be body fat, so maybe you want to gain a pound or so and see if it goes to your hips. If not, one pound is easy to lose. Also the top of my hips are less than an inch below my belly button and I have a long…

No alcohol!!! 7 hours minimum sleep per night! 1400 cals per day with less carbs, more protein Start moving away from bodypump to a self-led lifting schedule Lose a half pound hopefully >__< Been stuck at 135 for a while, ready to kick it up a notch!

Frozen grapes are also divine :) And usually a lot cheaper when berries are out of season~

Haha me too, sometimes I dream about food. Then get out of bed and in a half asleep state see if I can combine applesauce, plain yogurt, and oatmeal to resemble some sort of cookie dough type creation. I've made some terrible things... >___<

I almost always have a water bottle or thermos of unsweetened tea/black coffee with me. When you're not thirsty, you don't really feel the need to buy a drink! Saves on calories, and on money! I certainly can't afford anything about a $4.25 coffee that is basically an ice cream shake haha

I eat really small meals during the day so that I have extra for nighttime.

Your upper arms look a bit smaller to me. That's a great loss! Way to go :)

I agree with this! But I think just for fun, you should take one big *kitten* bite! Then cut it up.

Dancing!

To me, I'd guess mid/late 30s. I am pretty young though (22), less experienced guessing ages, I usually try to avoid it so I don't accidentally offend someone haha. None of my male peers have mustaches, so that adds a few years. Definitely don't think 40 though! Nothing wrong with salt and pepper hair! My dad had it since…

yours yours yours yours yours yours Though I'm willing to be that as you become happier with your body and lifestyle, your confidence goes up, he will not mind so much. I believe confidence is so much sexier than anything else. When you strut in the bedroom in a new lingerie set, feeling smoking hot and powerful, he will…

Welcome to MFP! ^__^ 1200 is probably too low. How tall are you? How much do you weigh? I'm 5'4" and 135, my bmi is 24 and I eat about 1400/1700 a day, depending on how hard I work out. I started on 1200 and did lose weight, but I was tired all the time. And I was always hungry, so anytime food was readily available, I…

Eggs are a complete protein.

Put a piece of tape over your mouth when you go in that room. Or chew gum. Or brush your teeth every hour. Might help you be less likely to sneak a bite~

Short hair on women just radiates confidence! And that is beautiful :) If you're worried, cut it in stages, a little bit at a time until you get to a style you really love. But don't worry too much, it'll grow back if you hate it! And you can always hide it under a hat during winter (haha)

Mac and cheese pizza! All the gooeyness of mac and cheese, all the crispyness of grilled cheese <3

I make sure to always reach at least my sedentary goal and if I workout, then the other calories are like a prize! So if I'm hungry late at night or I want a big cookie, I can have a bit extra on active days. Sometimes knowing I can come home and attack some chocolate ice cream is the best motivation to hit the gym!

HELLO. Laputa is my favorite, closely followed by Spirited Away. But I love them all :) Such beautiful works of art!

At night sometimes I'll get out of bed and start eating without even being fully awake. I don't keep any "binge danger" foods in my house anymore. Wayyy too easy to accidentally 500 calories. I pack and pre-log my food for the next work day and will snack from those. That way if I eat a lot at night, I don't get to eat as…

Chipotle salads! Meat or tofu or guac, salsa, veggies, beans, lettuce. No dressing, no cheese, no sour cream. This is a huge amount of food! I can usually get one meal and a snack out of it :)

I used them as a tool to help me start shifting from sugary drinks to water. I didn't drink any plain water at first, all mio or crystal light or something similar. Slowly I started mixing them weaker and weaker, until I didn't use any at all. When I get "bored" of water now, I turn to unsweetened tea. It is natural,…

Egg protein! It isn't the cheapest, but I think it tastes the best :)

5'4" here~ Goal was 130, got to 135 and changed my goal to 120! I always thought I was "large framed" and wouldn't look good being thin. Turns out I was just fat! There was a tiny person inside of all that mess the whole time! hahaha

I've lost about 2" from my thighs and I've noticed a lot less cellulite just because there is less fat there. Building muscle in that area can also help. I do a lot of squats/lunges with weights which work the thighs. If I keep up with them regularly, I feel that I see less cellulite. Don't worry about it too much though,…
