So is he a troll or is he being a dumbass? Either way. :) Thank you for the helpful comment...I always have trouble trying to minimize strain in my neck, so I'll try these out. I think I might try pilates and ballet anyway, because my posture is horrific and I hear that helps (and is also I have to fix for singing lol),…

Add to my androgeny? What the hell does that mean?

Start drinking La Croix water. My biggest thing was giving up the carbonation of diet coke (because no one drinks diet coke for the taste), and La Croix has helped out tremendously with that.

What I'm reading there is that major confounding factors to a HRMs accuracy are things like interference of machines, as well as exercising in a non-steady aerobic state (so lifting), and other factors like temperature, caffeine intake, and mood (which I feel as though the latter two must have a pretty minimal effect…

Do Not Neglect Your Eyebrows! I cannot tell you how much your eyebrows make your face. Go get them waxed or threaded (and I highly recommend a Benefit Brow Bar if you have one in your area). The arch should be over the iris in your eye. Then every morning, fill them in with wax and brow powder. You will not even believe…

What about the bands? The way my apartment is set up, there's no real door to jam the bands into and do rows with, etc. Did you also substitute weights in? Basically it sounds like I'm gonna have to sub in hand weights for all my strength workouts BUT the heaviest hand weights I have are six pounds haha.

I know HOW to swim and could save myself in a dire situation, but I was never part of a team or anything. That said, after Christmas I'm signing up for a Masters Swim Program - 80 bucks for unlimited weekly classes (they offer 8 a week), for three months. Super excited!!

I'm white/American and my husband is Panamanian. Panama, in case you are curious, is the best. His eating habits have changed a lot since he's been in the US but we still eat a lot of Panamanian food, or as close to Panamanian food as you can get with Trader Joe's ingredients. :) We speak Spanish at the house, since I…

Definitely go to a running store! They'll be able to put you in some neutral shoes and diagnose whether you under- or over-pronate, how high your arches are, whether you need lots of cushioning or minimal cushioning, etc. Everyone runs differently so it's hard to say that there's just one 'best' shoe for everyone! :)

Join an acting class! You are out of your comfort zone so much during it that you can't help but make friends. Or take a really hard academic course and commiserate with other people over the impossibility of it. Take ochem and go to study groups - for fun!

I was born in Mt Pleasant, and raised in Jackson, but I am in Chicago now!

this cracked me up and you're the first person on this board I've seen use the phrase 'dude' (besides myself), so I'm adding you!

It definitely works for some people! But I'd been doing it for about 5 months up to a week ago and I only ever lost about a half pound a week, if anything, and that was with meticulous tracking. :) For me, it was the fruit, I swear! But everyone's body composition is different so what works for me may not work for…

So how WW works is, you weigh in and based on whatever you weigh, you get a specific number of points allotted to you. You can eat that many per day, plus there are 49 "flex" points per week that you can use whenever you want, and that are extra. You also get more points when you do exercise. So for example, my allotment…

This is a great idea! I'm in!

So I did WW and it took me like 3 weeks to lose 2 lbs. I've been using MFP exclusively for about 4 days and have already lost 2 lbs from my weigh in a week ago. WW is good for some people, but for me the "free" fruits were my downfall - I could subsist off fruits alone, and eating a ton of them isn't good for weight loss,…

Hey, I love having people to keep me in check! Feel free to add me - I'm 27 and want to lose between 45-70 lbs (I'll decide when I get down to that range, haha). I am pretty obsessed with logging in and tracking, and I'm beginning to use my feed like I use my facebook status!

My stance on life is basically "the busier the better!" So the MA fits right in! :) Everyone is really encouraging so far, so I'm excited to see how this pans out! I feel so much more comfortable than in past endeavors already!

Awesome!

Added! I hope they figure out what's going on. :)

They make good workout music, right? haha Thanks for the welcome!

I got my BA from Loyola University Chicago, I'm working on my MA at Northeastern Illinois University, and I'm praying that someday I get accepted to an MD/PhD program at Northwestern!
