Secret Clinical Strength FOR REALS. Basically if your armpits can stink through this, you need to see a doctor! The rest of me smells sooo bad when I'm done working out, but you could eat out of my fresh armpits. OK, well that's disgusting, but you get the idea.

There is not such thing as "bad" food...unless maybe it's not food...like nails. Anyway, if it fits in your macros, put it in your face!

I'm not going to say anything about the toning versus cardio, other than I disagree with your reasoning. I would second the stretching and foam rolling especially. I'm not sure where your pain is--kind of sounds like the groin? which stretching will help. If it on the outside of your hip/thigh or on the thigh itself, foam…

We use this brand at bootcamp, and I have some at home as well: https://rbt.infusionsoft.com/app/storeFront/showStoreFront. These are very strong, and come in weight resistance increments that go much higher than what you can get in ****s/Target/etc. The highest resistance they sell is 250-300 pounds. I highly suggest…

^^^^^Great advice Mary!

It kind of sounds like you are stress-eating or comfort-eating...something I definitely identify with. Eating a snack, even something kind of naughty, does not work for me. I was watching something on TV that said that food (specifically sugar in this case) releases some chemicals in the "reward" center of your brain,…

Wow, that's awesome! I too have shelf-butt, so I am going to use your progress to know that it can be done! I won't complain about squats or lunges ever again.

I don't mind if my husband goes to a strip club and pays the cover or the two-drink minimum or whatever. He would be paying for a form of visual entertainment. But once money starts going in the pocket of another woman? HECK NO. Paying a stripper for a lap dance, and even a light hands on lap dance is literally the same as…

I would say if you tend to over-eat, in terms of quantity, avoid the buffet for as many meals as possible. I didn't find this difficult, because the quality of the buffet food is cafeteria at best, and it gets old. The portions and options in the dining room are much more reasonable. I know it's hard to throw on some…

Yep, sounds like Excercise-induced asthma. I have had two real "attacks" in my life--trying to go "balls to the wall" with Zumba for my very first time, and when I ran a couple of weeks ago in the cold. And I use "run" every so lightly. I was doing a slow jog, and the cold just made the EI asthma start. Got one of those…

These stories are breaking my heart! Every person on here deserves so much better than these horrible comments from husbands, wives, family, and friends. I know comments from strangers hurt, but the comments from people that aren't supposed to use their own insecurity against you are the worst. A very high percentage of…

If you are OK with processed: 2 cups small curd cottage cheese 1 cup cow milk, whatever level fat (I don't think soy or almond will set right) 1 small box of Sugar Free Instant Pudding (i like cheesecake) Blend together in food processor, makes a great fruit dip, and is great with just a spoon! You won't even notice the…

Prograde Nutrition makes a protein powder with lower carbs, a pre/post workout powder shake mix, and a meal replacement powder (f-in delicious!) that is made with Truvia or Stevia or something. I personally stay away from powders that have NO sweeteners, because I would end up adding some anyway. What kind of chocolate…

Try typing https://www.pandora.com. The "httpS" can sometimes get around the site blocking. I used to work for the Smithsonian and they blocked all chat programs, even ones embedded in email clients. But by going directly to the secure site of whatever page I was trying to access, it worked.

This times 100. When you first start to use a foam roller, it is literally like torture. I thought that I was rolling on a bone, and that there was no way it could help. I believe I had a relatively mild case of hip bursitis, and it is completely under control by using the foam roller, and continuing to exercise. After…

It is poor circulation. This used to happen to me all of the time when my feet were kept still on the elliptical. I suppose people will tell you to go to a doctor to "be sure," but I never did. I googled it, saw that it was most likely poor circulation, and kept up my routine. It gets better as you exercise more.

I know you are right about not riding on sidewalks, but I despise bikers, especially in the city. I'm sure that could open up a floodgate, so I won't go on. But seriously, I'm a danger to every man, woman, and child in every car, on any side of the road, when I ride my bike in the street. I can fall over at any minute,…

Start with the "Drawing of the Three"???? HERESY!!!! The very universe is based on what happens in the first book, The Gunslinger.

Ahh I'm glad I can't be downvoted here. I'm thinkin' gay :cry:

Well, exercise "just shrinking the skin" sounds retarded. That's not what strength training does, or cardio that improves the hearth health, but I guess this person was just talking about straight weight loss. Disagree with the attitude, but that being said, my trainer says "you can't exercise your way out of a bad diet,"…

Normal invitation as others suggested. Just got one myself. I would suggest sending a simple (read: cheap) save-the-date, so you have given everyone plenty of time to save and plan for a great trip!

Courtney--to lose 1.5 pounds a week you have to burn 5,250 calories more than you consume. To lose .5 pounds a week, you only have to burn 1,750 more calories than you consume. By decreasing the amount you lose each week (good choice I think since you are only 6 pounds away), you can eat more, and that will hopefully give…

Again with the shooting things out of body holes!!! Snorted AGAIN!

That's all true, but it does stem from rejection in my teen years. I was the funny softball fat girl, but that's it. The girls that I grew up with and went to highschool with thought I was sooo funny, but when it was time to hang out, they didn't want to be the one that brought the fat girl to the party. And you know guys…

Taso42-- You should be teaching today's youth, if you aren't already.

killagb--the way the top leans slightly away makes it semi-phallic. You may proceed.

OP, MPF did a fantastic job of cropping your profile pic. We think you're naked, click forward to your profile, and then you're not! Oh you are tricky.

And suddenly this is a hostage crisis.
