HungryGirl.com Plenty of options. Hollycat :flowerforyou:

I noticed you've lost 56 pounds. Congratulations Oh Obsessive One! Seems it was worth it. :wink: Obsessive or not, you're doing something right! Sniff...sniff...I smell jealousy! Hollycat :flowerforyou:

How 'bout this: If you strip and run around the mall for 10 minutes, you can have the cinnabon. Seriously, is it worth the pain you'll likely feel if the scale doesn't go down tomorrow, the next day, or for the next week or two? Only you can decide. There's always tomorrow and there's always another day. If today isn't the…

Oh! What a ONEderful FEEling! Oh! What a ONEderful Day! I suspect there's no ONE old enough on this forum to get the reference to OKLAHOMA! Congrats! Hollycat :flowerforyou:

Step one: Forgive yourself. Step two: Log your food and exercise here and start perusing the forum. There's lots of encouragement and info. Hollycat :flowerforyou:

Depends on you and depends on the trainer. Some are laid back. :glasses: That may be a good match for you. Some are drill sergeants. :angry: That may be a good match for you. [I would be trying to figure out how long I'd actually spend in jail...:devil: ] Figure out what kind of person motivates you and try to find that…

I'm almost 50. I've been overweight my entire adult life. I have to say...I feel better about myself at 250 than I ever did at 150. I think that level of acceptance comes with age. What I've come to realize is that we all have a perception of ourselves and we are all at different stages in our lives and different levels of…

Depends on you. I snack. Keeps my blood sugar regulated and keeps hunger at bay. Means smaller 'meals'. Doesn't bother me. Your body, your science experiment. Hollycat :flowerforyou:

That looks so good. I'm so hungry [forgot to eat my snack - rats!]. Thank God it's almost lunchtime. Hollycat :flowerforyou:

Walk for 5, then S T R E T C H. Hollycat :flowerforyou:

At the risk of generalizing, those of us over 30 all hate him. He is the guy young women are initially charmed by and who they eventually learn to despise. I'm sure there's a person inside that smarmy, selfish little so and so, but the feelings of revulsion he invokes are overwhelming. I have to leave the room when my…

I don't take a full rest 'day' as such, unless circumstances are such that I just can't control what's going on around me. Yes, sometimes there are days like that. Like when I'm not at work, or at home and am on the road or at someone else's house. These occasions are rare and I make the best of them. Sometimes I choose to…

With all the exercise you're doing, you are gaining muscle weight and losing fat at the same time. The net result is zero. It is nothing to be concerned about. If you are within 10-20 pounds of your 'ideal' weight, don't measure yourself by the scale. You'll only get frustrated. Measure your BMI and inches. Much more…

Keep moving. Relax. Enjoy yourself. That's what vacations are for... Hollycat :flowerforyou:

Ingredients are something that can only be estimated, unless you know exactly what they are. I'd say your cafeteria probably has a better chance of getting it right.

P90X. check it out. Hollycat :flowerforyou:

Don't know about form, not knowing what exercises you are doing, but I must say....I cannot over emphasize the benefits of stretching. Before and after a workout and before bed. Seriously. Before bed. Want to get rid of that stiffness you feel in the morning? Stretch every muscle before bed. Takes 10 minutes tops and…

I'm going to die anyway. It's pretty much a given. Probably die laughing, but I'm going to die. If you read these articles V E R Y S L O W L Y and C A R E F U L L Y, engaging brain while reading, you'll notice a distinct lack of direct causation. You can look up 'causation' by googling it...:huh: Sorry. I think there are a…

Custom orthotics. Really really good runners with lots of cushion.

Save your money [don't buy the HCG - sounds like you're doing everything right already - just practise patience] and go for electrolysis sessions. I did it and it was the best money I ever spent. No more tweezing, shaving or anything. My time is mine. Sometimes you need to shop around for an electrolysis technician that…

Soy. I can't stand the taste. Soy milk, soy beans, edemame... eeeeeyuck. :noway: Lima beans. I used to pick out the 2 or 3 that came in Campbells vegetable soup. Just couldn't stand them. Hollycat :flowerforyou:

If you have cholesterol issues, check out the Niacin Solution: http://www.amazon.com/Cholesterol-Control-Without-Diet-Solution/dp/0966256867 Diet only has about a 20% effect on overall cholesterol control. My cholesterol is normal with 2000 mg a day of regular Niacin. Sometimes I take 3000 mg...if I've eaten particularly…

Sounds like you could either have hemmorhoids or a fissure. Fissues hurt like H E double toothpicks. The first thing you need to do is make sure you don't make it worse, give it a chance to heal, and prevent others from forming. GROUND psyllium fibre every day, along with some Omega 3 oil. 1 heaping tablespoonful with 1…

Your arms, face and midriff - all a significant difference! WOW! Hollycat :flowerforyou:

OMG Who Are You People :devil: :wink: Hollycat :flowerforyou:

I'm the same, with a twist. I am an evening grazer. Instead of fighting it, I plan for it. I reserve 300-400 calories a day for my evening snacks. Yes, snacks. That's not a typo. I know it's not 'ideal' as purported by unknown experts who nobody can ever seem to accurately reference [which leads me to believe somebody made…

Yes! That's what I was trying to say. I certainly got the crap in the gene pool, but here I am doing what I can about it. Does that mean I get to crap allover those that haven't figured it out and made the decision yet by telling them in veiled terms they're just pigs or by telling them what to do if they don't ask? Not if…

Who cares? :drinker: Kidding. I just couldn't resist. I"m actually a tea totaller...:blushing: Hollycat :flowerforyou:

Nursing did it for me. Two kids, nursed for almost 2 years apiece. Daily going from DD's to C's and back again. Stretchy doesn't adequately explain. Now they look like 2 spaniel's ears. For me, it's a toss-up. Do I get a tummy tuck or a boob lift? Both is a pretty pricey proposition. Since I'm almost 50, implants aren't…
