What part of CO are you moving to? We lived near Colorado Springs, so hiking on and around Pike's Peak was a natural go-to (hiked the Incline a couple of times a year... I miss it!). Skiing, snowboarding, other snowy-stuff are typical, of course. The snow at that altitude is so weird-- like little foam bb's, like in a bean…

^^ this. :flowerforyou: :heart:

Either Bragg Ginger & Sesame Salad Dressing or Annie's Organic Roasted Red Pepper Dressing. YUM!!!!!!!

I give up. :sad:

Awesome, I'll try it-- thanks! :flowerforyou:

Hhhmmm....

Trying to figure out how to post a pic...

I'm so glad you posted this, because this is exactly what's been happening to me these last two weeks since I began lifting heavy weights and doing body weight exercises (on top of my normal Pilates, hiking/snowshoeing and running). So yesterday I did a few TDEE calculators and basically learned that I need to up my…

I have a genetic tendency toward severe anemia-- I find that the only way I can keep my levels up is to follow what my doctor said: don't eat dairy within an hour (before or after) of consuming food or pills with iron, and take the iron pill with vitamin C (either take it was a glass of OJ or take a vitamin C tablet with…

Everyone always complains about being short and I can completely understand why, because I live it! BUT, there are some advantages too... Here are the reasons why I think it sucks being short (4'11"): 1. I can't reach a damn thing 2. My BMR is 1159 3. My BMI is overweight (25) if I reach 123.5 lbs, which I feel is not very…

When people are surprised that almost 100% of my interests/hobbies are geeky because I don't "look" like a geek. AND THEN they say, "oh, did you just start liking these things because you have BOYS?" AAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! :angry: Phew, sorry, felt good to get that off my chest. :wink: :heart:

I'm a single mom with a full-time job, but until a little over a year ago I was a SAHM and lost 45 lbs while doing it. Feel free to add me if you're interested. I'd be happy to tell you how I did it, controlled what I ate without going crazy and found the time to workout.

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

I'm 4'11" and look and feel good at 112-115. I have a small frame, so, I start getting love handles, etc, above 115. Below 112 I'm tired and really don't look as good naked. :smile:

YES!!!

I weighed myself, didn't lose any weight this week but my jeans are slightly looser, so, that's good. :smile:

0-2, depending on the brand. When I was 10 lbs lighter I could wear some 00's that were bigger than some 2's I had. Some consistency among manufacturers would be nice.

YES!!! I love streaming his and Jared Padalecki's talk during ComicCon San Diego.

I do add it but ONLY when I'm actually running around my house, getting my heart rate up, breaking a sweat. I purposefully clean "harder" to get a workout. I DON'T count it if I'm just wiping the counter down or standing there washing dishes or anything like that.

Yyeeeaaahhh, this is like the Bragg vinegar drinks, which are pretty good, and I have to say I DO feel energized when I drink them, but, to me at least, they don't taste like apple pie. Just my personal taste, though. The Bragg people claim that ACV is detoxifying, but I'm not sure if that's just their opinion or if…

I'm 4'11" and am 123, wearing a size 2 (US). When I'm 10 lbs less (like I was a year ago) I could easily fit into a size 0 (is that REALLY a size? What the heck happened to women's pants sizes in the last 15 years?!). At that weight though I still had 24% body fat and far from enough muscle, so, this time around I'm hoping…

Portion control!

Awesome idea! I always want more dragons. :love:

Listen to music and write in my head.

Yes! I have 7: 3 dragons (all black) 1 butterfly (black/grey shading... couldn't commit to color) 1 flower anklet (the only one I wouldn't get again) 1 big sun/star 1 Japanese cherry blossom tree up the entire right side of my torso If I had more money I'd get more! :heart:

I love it! Out of all the alternative milks I think it's the best (and I've tried them all). I like the unsweetened vanilla, either from Almond Breeze or Silk. There is one brand (Almond Breeze, maybe?) that makes one that has 5g protein per cup and I tried it but I didn't like the flavor. I think they add pea protein to…

Ha! Perfect response. :happy:

Oh, and Boston CominCon in August! :heart: :happy: :heart: :happy: :heart:
