My go to would have to be... 8oz Chicken 1-2 Tbs Paprika 2 Tbs Chives 1 medium Tomato (cut into chunks) 2 hefty cups Spinach 1 slice Cheese (I like pepper jack but anything works) *1Tbs each of Prechopped garlic and onion if I remember Cut the chicken into chunks and throw it into a pan (I use cast iron) Add chives and…

I'm actually really surprised at how many people go commando or are in a thong at the gym I've been debating it recently because of chaffing/bruising I get when running (not really chub rub but more underwear digging into my skin and abrading it) Curious though, has anyone had any issue with UTI's when going commando or…

thanks :)

size 22-8... wow. That's inspirational, way to go hun :smiley:

cool cool, thanks guys

Thanks everyone for replying by the way :)

@fitteacherc yea I'm trying to make more neurological connections by using the weaker side more often (pretty tough, never noticed how much I used my right side for everything lol). As to can I get a coach... I've actually been debating that. I would not like to if I don't have to because of budget, but at the same time I…

Hmm indeed. It's questions like this that keep me up at night, tossing and turning to and fro... I think I'm going to have to say vegetable on this one

I'm not an expert, but I would agree with @MrM27. This does sort of sound like symptoms of an eating disorder or addiction. Although working out and eating healthy on its own is a good thing, obsessively counting calories, restricting what you eat, and working out way too much AND having negative consequences on your…

Better late than never right? Highest weight: 205+lbs Starting weight for this challenge: 174lbs Goal weight for this challenge: atleast 164 lbs Good luck ladies!

@ tomsarno that's a good one! @ MKEgal, yay congrats! And kudos on the hill setting especially since I loath the incline on treadmill (though oddly ok on elliptical) @feralkitten awesome news about the asthma! And funny how prospective on weight changes when you start lifting as a female :P

I love evening/night runs but safety and visibility is always an issue for me (especially since some areas I run aren't properly lit and the side walk is not elevated) Here are a few things that work for me: Neon reflective safety shirt or vest - I have both. Construction vests work great and they're cheaper than the ones…

I'm currently using some off of truenutrion. They have a variety of options including alternatives to whey protein (I just got some rice and pea protein, milk based proteins don't do so well with me) and you have the option of flavoring them too. Plus for the price, it's definitely a go. I know for the non whey proteins…

When people assume I have psychic abilities and don't turn their blinkers on on the road

I completely agree with you in that I really sympathize for people with painful cycles. I think I'm really lucky in that I get no cramps, no nausea, no headaches, nothing. I've never taken a Midol in my life! Honestly me and my cycle are totally cool... besides the emotional roller coasters and insatiable hunger :grumble:…

you and I are on the same wavelength, great minds think alike ;)

:flowerforyou: :happy:

Hahah soooo true!! It's like once you start.... there's no stopping... ever lol

I'm a student -- so lots of late hours studying (or procrastinating on the internet, same thing) and my sleep cycles always at a whack. I also have trouble falling asleep and wake up multiple times in the middle of the night. What's worked for me: Watching ASMR videos to help fall asleep and downloading f.lux on all my…

To dunk... or not to dunk: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the dryness of thine savory pastry The fork, spoon and knife of outrageous fortune, Or to dunk them in a sea of milk and coffee, And by opposing, end them, to their milky death: to moisten; Many a night, I've pondered upon this…

I'm 5'9, so not an insanely tall height, but when I wear my 4in heels I'm probably going to be taller than a guy regardless if he's 6' or 5'5. Conclusion: Height doesn't really matter to me personally. As the saying goes, we're all the same height laying down lol To me I don't understand why I should limit myself to only…

Glass Elevators... I have nightmares of being in the Willy Wonka elevator (at the end of the movie)

^ Agreed Proper running shoes, stretching, and especially running form. Don't think I'm as tall as you are, but I'm 5'9 and one leg is shorter than the other so I had a similar issue. Changing my running form to Chi running made the biggest difference Also if you're running on a treadmill, try increasing the incline…

Pick the drink you hate the most/the worst tasting drink. You'll end up drinking slower and less of it so calorie content won't even be an issue

I have 3: 1. Parking further away 2. Always taking the stairs 3. Avoiding the Dollar Tree-- this is my vice... everything is literally 1 dollar, which really becomes an issue because $1 kettle chips, whoppers, and sugary drinks are quite hard to say no to when they're only $1 lol

I've found that I have to motivate myself BEFORE I start my workout so that I have motivation to work off of (if that makes sense). This usually includes imagining dramatic motivational music in my head and coming up with some speech lol As to during my workouts, these have kept me going through my last couple workouts: 1.…

I hate to be brutally honest with you, but there's nothing much we can really do for you. We could all probably write encouraging words and tips etc, but at the end you have to motivate yourself. There has to be some kind of intrinsic drive within you to want to attain your goals, which by what you wrote you seem to be…

Might want to ask for height and weight for this one to get a better perspective/gage of things. I'm 5"9 and I've noticed that I have no back fat around 165lbs ish As to looking good naked -- couple shots of tequila should also do the trick.... or raggaeton music? I have stretch marks, love handles, and some back fat and…
