I follow this fairly closely-pierce, microwave for six to 10 minutes, I cut either lengthwise or around the middle depending on size (the smaller ones I cut around the middle for longer strands), scoop out seeds, scrape out the strands, mix with some Grapeseed oil and garlic for 40 to 60 minutes stirring halfway through.

One of my cousin's is a BB coach and has never once pushed the product. She posts a lot on Facebook about her workouts and does mention the shakes afterwards but only elaborates if someone asks questions. They aren't all bad, it's just the loud pushy ones that get heard.

^this^ It's linked so often that I thought I was the only one...

You would hate my diary. The other day weighted out my C&W Peas. The bag said 2/3 cup (91 g) and I weighted out every one of those 91 grams--I just didn't edit the entry--ain't nobody got time for that (unless that is all you are planning on doing that day...)--so when I put 2/3 cup down as my entry I meant the 91 g. My…

I started using the products after a friend became a rep. I made a really good salad dressing out of the Garlic Galore and Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil.

And turning improperly is (in some studies) the leading cause for all injuries; this includes switching lanes without using your indicators. There are a myriad of reasons for traffic accidents and eating CAN (but not necessarily based on how it is done) fall into the realm of distracted driving but because I don't know how…

Looks good!

I'm toying with it as well. A friend of mine invited me to her neighbor's Beachbody launch party, she just became a coach, and I saw the DVD there. I'm also interested in people's experiences.

I will decide what I'm going to have before I go. The only issue I'm having is the sodium in restaurant food but careful planning is helping with that.

My best friend's five year old calls me "fluffy". She was sitting on my lap Sunday, patted my stomach, and said she loved how I was a nice, fluffy pillow, not like her mommy who is hard. I told her I might still be fluffy but I'm becoming much less fluffy every day.

I had this problem a few years ago. It would feel like I was being stabbed when I walked, I would wear multiple socks with a foot gel thing in-between them just so I could move around. I found this thing called Foot Sleep Support at Walgreens. It only took about a week where I would wear them at night and I haven't had any…

What flavor was the ice cream?

My mailbox is four blocks away from my house if I got through a neighbor's back yard, five if I go the long way--so eight to 10 blocks depending on which way I go. I never considered counting this towards my exercise goal, maybe I will now, it still won't be any of your business or remotely your problem. In the middle of…

I find this site has given me some control, control over what I eat and when I exercise. I've been using the exercise in particular to deal with the death of someone I was close to for 13 years and when I feel sad I check to see if maybe I've been slacking on working out or eating things that aren't so great.. I wish you…

What a fantastic doctor! And YAY YOU!

I've been bringing my own food to family gatherings (and most with friends) and so far everyone has been incredibly supportive.

^this. Some people will look at you, noticing that something is different but they can't quite figure it out. Some people will look at you, notice your proportions are different, but don't know what to say. Some people will look at you and wonder where you got that outfit (either because they like it or don't). Some people…

^ yep

I broke my back as a passenger in a roll over car accident. I had a < 10 pound lifting restriction, no bending, no twisting, I had to sleep on an air mattress so I wouldn't put pressure on the fracture site. The restrictions were partially lifted 5 1/2 months and 28 pounds later. I just started walking when I broke a toe…

I don't believe we are all in danger of "starvation mode" every time we don't hit a magical, minimum calorie number but can anyone explain to me why MFP says I will go into this mode if I don't hit the number every day? "*Based on your total calories consumed for today, you are eating too few calories. Not only is it…

I had a doctor's appointment last Monday and I got a small round of applause from my nurse and the person she was training--I lost over 15% of my weight since my last visit--they told me they were proud of me.

You seem to most of the ingredients so it should be fairly easy to get a close guess. Next time you could ask your mom to write down everything she's doing or cook with her and make your own list. I either do when I'm eating at a relative's/friend's place or I'll just bring my own food (which people still find amusing and…

I just gave several pieces away to two different family members, but I don't intend on ever asking for them back! OP--seriously try on EVERYTHING in your closets and drawers. I recently had to try on four different shirts before a meeting and three were too big. I totally eyeballed them wrong. You can then reorganize your…

I rolled down a hill several times last Saturday because a sweet little five year old asked me to. Five months ago I would have found several reasons why I just couldn't do it. There's a good chance she'll have me going down a slide the next time we're at the park. As for me, I signed up for bartending school and will be…

Congratulations, I really mean it. If you keep it up you will get better. In October I went up Nap Hill (a steep sand hill). I had to stop multiple times, I was winded, I wanted to quit/cry/feel the defeat, but I made it. Two weeks ago I half ran/walked up it. It took less time to get up the hill and I was just a little…

I might not be much help but a friend of mine is seeing a therapist-in-training who is getting their practicum training and when they looked at her income she is not being charged (this in Colorado). Are you near a place that would offer this?

What's interesting about adding "only the fittest, most attractive friends" is how do they know the person in the profile picture is really the person they are adding? My pic is me, but before the accident when I broke my back and gained about 60 pounds. I'm not "her" yet, but I'm starting to look like my picture again.

Are you planning on writing an autobiography/memoir or fiction?

My first thought was WTH but then I realized you must "know" him--either IRL or from this site and this is a discussion that you've had before because no one would really be that rude to a stranger. OP--you look great!

I know WHEN my body wants to eat, logging helps me see if I'm feeding it what it NEEDS. I just got back from a two week trip and when I didn't have access to the Internet I wrote down what I ate. I'm now entering in everything I had and there were a few days I came ->thisclose<- to going over and one day I completely…
