I like green olives but not black ones. My parents always joke that I must be adopted or switched at the hospital because everyone in my family loves black/Kalamata olives (Greek and Italian heritage..it's practically mandatory). It definitely has nothing to do with being skinny or fat; Lots of people swear by a…

You win. I say eye boogs.

I'm actually afraid of dogs (truth)..but thanks for the puppy!

A fancy makeup kit (your eye makeup is really nice in your picture, so maybe you're a makeup junkie?)

I was super sore after the first day, and I pushed through to do the next few days. I think that as long as the pain is muscle soreness, not from some injury, and if you can do the exercises without wincing or stopping for long periods because of the pain, you should continue. But taking one day off will probably not make…

http://www.food.com/recipe/ww-0-point-weight-watchers-cabbage-soup-128956 My mom used to make this all the time when she did WW a while back. It was good, but I swear we had it 3+ times/week, so I hated it as a kid. I'd probably try to make it again though now that I'm older and can appreciate low-calorie veggie goodness.

Ob. Freaking. Sessed. I saw them in 06 with the Mars Volta (love them too), and I hope I can afford the tickets for the Atlanta show this tour.

But if she's not in a relationship, and sleeps with more than one man, she's a shlurt. (that's my way of censoring...) I definitely agree with this one; How many movies do you see where the female is in love with another man and the audience wants her to leave her significant other? And then how many when it's the man who…

Remember that part where I said "I'm not saying what I think is right or wrong?" That's why. And wait, nobody should judge people because of their lifestyle choices, but it's completely O.K. to judge someone for being tall and having a high-pitched voice? Also, Kendall is the prettiest of the five sisters. However she is…

Kim got married and divorced immediately, and Kourtney had a child "by accident" to someone she wasn't married to, both of which are generally frowned upon by American society (I'm not saying what I think is right or wrong, just what average Americans tend to think). Khloe did neither of these (and her marriage is still…

Fiber just helps to keep you full. Unless you're having stomach problems because of it, more fiber is great

One technique is to plan to do some crunches, leg lifts, something like that throughout your workout. So, say, read X number of pages, take a break to do 25-50 crunches (or whatever exercise/# of reps you choose) then go back to it. While this alone won't give you a "dream body," it will help you develop a little muscle,…

I shop a lot at designer outlets like BCBG and Off 5th (Saks outlet) and there are definitely more of the bigger sizes at those stores. While it's not plus size, there are usually like 3 or 4 12's and 10's but I'm lucky to find the 2 or 4 that I need, and if the dress runs big and I need a 0, it's pretty unlikely that they…

I'm at the University of Georgia. I pretty much only had two reasons for going (it's 90% paid for and there's a genetics major), but it's given me a million reasons to stay. Can't wait to watch the Bulldogs whip Tech around the field tomorrow!

I think it really depends on the subject you're studying. For most of my classes, reading the textbook and taking notes as I read is the most helpful. For organic chemistry and any language classes, notecards are the best for me. I happen to hate study groups though; Maybe they just don't work as well for science classes,…

Sweetener of your choice and cinnamon or instant coffee..so good

Good thing Giraffe is kosher; Dunno what I'd eat if it weren't. Also, you have to eat clean to lose weight...but look at this sugar-free cake mix recipe I made with stuff from boxes and cans!! Only 100 cals in a serving!!

Hi everyone! I'm a 3rd year majoring in Genetics (not pre-med though) I'm currently taking Plant Pathology, Organic Chemistry 2, Introduction to Weight Training, and doing research for credit hours. While it may seem like that isn't a lot of classes, I get 4 hours of research credits, but for it to be Honors research, you…

I love black eyed peas with spicy diced tomatos (like Rotel). It's only around 75 calories for a 1/2 cup of the beans

My parents have a ProForm one that we bought years ago and it still works just great. I think it does fold in half but I wouldn't call it light weight. We've had it about 10 years and it seems to be doing fine; never had to get any repairs on it and it doesn't look or feel outdated yet. Knowing my parents, it was probably…

Sigma Delta Tau!

Dogs. Of all sizes. No me gusta.

In public, I wear "legit" workout clothes, but at home I usually just wear cotton shorts and a tank top. The only things I always make sure to wear is a proper sports bra and my running shoes. To whoever posted that they go on the treadmill barefoot, I don't know how that doesn't hurt your feet! The little bumps on the…

When I was chubby (I wasn't technically overweight but I was on the very high end of the normal range), I had really muscular calves that still looked defined, but they were big. As I lost the weight, the size of my calves got smaller, but I saw a similar amount of definition. I'm no expert on building muscle, but from…

I spent 3 months in Israel, though it was before I started counting calories so I don't exactly remember how bad or good everything was in terms of nutrition, and I spent a month on an army base where most of my diet was white bread (yum.). There's likely gonna be a lot of Israeli salad (chunked tomatos, onions, and…

Kosher meat is slaughtered in a certain way that is known to cause the animal as little pain as possible, so if you're having trouble finding meat from a source you know treats the animals better, this could be another option that might ease your mind.

Your body already has a wonderful detox system of its own; It involves your liver and kidneys. Unless those aren't working properly, there's no need to buy into the detox hype. Of course you'll lose weight from a liquid "detox;" if I drank only a few hundred calories each day for a week, I would lose weight too. It would…

I have to eat a bar for lunch 2 days/week and I used to eat Luna Bars. They would keep me decently full (I leave at 9:30 and don't get home until 4 so I'd have to eat one while walking between classes) but they would sometimes give me stomach troubles so I started eating Clif Mojo bars instead, which don't upset my stomach…

Mine says "I'm outdoorsy!" It lies.

Most people in this forum feel that cleanses of any kind are marketing gimmicks and don't do anything good for your health. You have a colon cleanse system - it's called your GI tract.
