Reese Witherspoon . . . Oops,@courtney (slow poster)

For cardio I like loud stuff like Rob Zombie, Union Underground, Metallica, Godsmack, etc. Anything really to get the blood pumping. If its a low-key day I will listen to anything that helps me clear my head. More often lately that would be Live, Led Zepplin, Within Temptation, Evanescence, etc. However I am not too picky.…

@happymom- you have a beautiful complexion, and a gorgeous smile :)

You have a really nice smile AND a great attitude :)

You guys are awesome, talk about hard work and dedication! Move over Tastycake, bring on the Beefcake

I agree that there is tough temptation when going to fast food joints. No matter what I order I feel like anything healthy has soaked up the grease and desperation in the air. Plus I kinda feel that ordering a salad from McDonald's is a bit like asking a *kitten* for a hug . . . . But meh we all just do the best we can…

THAT. IS. AWESOME.

LMAO :laugh:

I saw this recipe yesterday, and had to make them last night. It was sooooo delicious! My whole family loved it. I am keepin' this one! :love:

I agree. I am not in any way qualified to make nutritional or excercise recomendations, but the key for me has been to constantly switch up my routine, both eating and excercise. It confuses the heck out of my body and it has no clue what is going on. I always stay under my BMR but I vary my calorie intake between 200-700…

I never thought I would be able to lose 3 lbs let alone over 30 so far! I never thought I would look forward to working out as a de-stresser! I never thought I would love the feel of burning muscles!

You may add me if you wish. The more support we all have the better we do :happy:

In place of one cup of boiling water, I mix a 6 oz cup of plain greek yogurt with any sugar-free jello, and cool until set in the fridge. Tastes like a dessert custard. Yummy!

For me, I will never have a thigh gap. My legs simply weren't made that way. I will just be happy to be able to wear courderoy pants in the winter and not have to worry about starting a friction fire. Actually most days I am glad to still have legs as I was in a terrible car accident when I was 20 that left a nasty scar…

Glad I'm not the only girl who enjoys it! :tongue:

I don't think i could do one extreme or the other. Dating a guy with huge body-building muscles would probably intimidate me, and I would probably have to fight for mirror space. On the other hand scrawny and lean makes me feel like I would have to be the "man" in the relationship, a' la "Don't mess with me or my gf will…

I used to have a hardcore Pepsi addiction too. I would go through 5 or more cans a day. I quit cold turkey and the headaches were horrible! Now though, even if I take a sip of soda it is just too sweet for me. Water with Crystal light is my drink of choice. Kudos to you! :)

The forums are only for those with thick skin . . . .:sick: yeah that was bad, but I couldn't resist

I had gotten the biggest stability ball I could find. Made for really tall people, etc. So I blow this thing up last night and go to sit on it and I swear I almost bottomed out on the floor. My bf and I just looked at each other and cracked up. I was so glad it didnt explode, but the tension running through that bad boy at…

They need to make sturdier toilet seats . . . . I'm just saying. And while they're at it, if they could make a stability ball that doesn't sink like a beanbag chair when I get on, that would be greeeeaaat! :grumble:

Redskins Baby!

June 30th @ Jiffy Lube Live - - - - Iron Maiden & Alice Cooper! whoooohooooo :smokin:

I think that everyone has valid points. There is no singular one fix for weight loss. If there were we'd all be models! But the basic principles of making healthier choices and watching your calories rings true. Then just tweak your diet accordingly to what your body responds best to.

I have more than 100 lbs to lose! I know it will be a long journey for me, and I completely agree that I also tend to feel a bit more connected with people who are going through the same long-term struggle as I am. Not saying that the ppl who create a profile to lose 5 lbs are wrong . . . . . it just makes me want to stuff…

That is crazy! I have seen more realistic measurements on my kid's Barbie Doll :noway:

What a depressing topic lol Yep mine is almost here, and already up 2-3 lbs! Feeling lethargic and craving all things junk food. I haven't caved yet, but it is really hard. I am currently craving salty/sweet foods like no one's business. But I have found that a small batch of homemade coleslaw takes care of that! I make…

I quit Pepsi cold turkey a little over 3 weeks ago, and I was a hardcore fan too. Over a 2 liter a day! It WAS my coffee lol The headaches will pass (mine were bad) in about 7-10 days then your body will have adjusted. I'm so sorry, cuz I know how much they hurt. :frown:

That sounds super yummy! I am always looking for a tasty recipe that is a triple threat ( low fat, low carb, and higher in protein ). Thank you, will try!

My Hunger Fighting Staples: Oatmeal Plain Greek Yogurt (I mix mine with Splenda and fresh berries) Low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese Eggs or egg whites All-Natural Almonds Lots and LOTS of water *These are just some things that work for my body type, and not intended to be all-inclusive. I am trying to stay away from…

I absolutely love this!
