I went away for work for a couple of months over the summer. While I was away, my diet and fitness routine was ON POINT because i had nothing else to do or hold me back. When I got back and went to the gym with my husband, he made a comment that was along the lines of "Your shoulders look really good" which was a huge…

*poops in thread* 3~~ *runs away*

I've had the lady ringing me up comment on how she noticed I always seem to buy healthy items, but nothing insulting. As a matter of fact, she told me about a natural/holistic/organic food store up the road from where I work that I had no idea existed! I've had other people "checking out" my grocery items on the belt…

Eat fruit at breakfast or before or after a workout. The sugars in the fruit will be going toward fueling your workout or refueling your muscles.

Download the app "FitRadio". You can select music based on style and/or BPM and there's limited commercials. Plus, you can skip entire playlists, unlike Pandora (which I love equally, but prefer FitRadio for when I exercise) where you can only skip so much.

I'm 5'7" - 5'8" and weighed around 156 lbs at the time and wearing those stupid shirts that kind of flare out right under the boobs (empire waist?? Not a good combo with a pre-existing gut) Anyhoo, my boyfriend (now husband) and I were in NYC at a museum and decided to get a glass of wine at one of the eateries in there.…

^ me too.

Oh, how I wish we could *like* or *favorite* posts. At least that way I could come back to all the amazing recipes that you all post here! I want to try this. Protein and veggie overload!! YUM!!!

I usually eat my yolks, but if I ever do have any left over, I cook them up and give them to my puppy. She loves them!

I was at the bar a couple of weeks ago for my friend's birthday and some old guy comes up to me said, "Your frames [referring to my glasses]... they're like a frame for a work of art!" Haven't heard that one before, but I laughed so hard, my drink almost went up my nose!

I had a delicious surf and turf meal last night and the steak was cooked in a buttload of butter. That was followed by a beer and chocolate pairing and I have the worst stomach ache today and a headache. I also feel blah. I don't regret any bit of it, but yeesh. I didn't realize it'd be this bad!

All the crazy fattening cheesy dips and cheap beer consumed during the super bowl party at my place.

I wish we could *favorite* posts. This looks so fluffy and ahhhhmazing. Nom nom nom...

When I met my husband 6 years ago, we weighed around the same. He might have been 5 lbs less than me, but he was in excellent shape (which is what attracted me to him, haha). I wasn't in the best shape at all. Now I weigh almost 70 lbs less than him; he gained 40 lbs and I lost 40 lbs about a year and a half after I met…

PAM!

I will when I get home ;-)

Sorry to hear that happened to you :( When I was younger my mom and dad would address me as "fatty" (in their native language) and my younger sister "mouse" (again, in their language) because she was so skinny. I never really thought twice about it; I thought well, yeah, I'm chunkier than her so whatever, but now that I…

It's quality, not quantity. While the pounds may fall off due to the calorie deficit, you'll find that you'll still retain (or even gain) body fat. I'm no expert, but based solely on my own experience, it's best to make sure you're getting quality, nutrient-rich foods. I lost a lot of weight in the beginning due to…

I usually go at the end of the day, and I already have make up on. If it's on a weekend, it's usually in the morning and I don't have make up on. I don't bother putting it on or taking it off before the gym because it's not important to me at the time. I go in whatever state i'm in!

I eat the following things almost every day: Eggs Nonfat plain Greek yogurt Boneless skinless chicken breasts Sweet potatoes Spinach Avocados Oranges (tangerines or tangelos) Brown rice cakes Natural peanut butter Strawberries

5'7". Started out at 156 and went down to 120 a few years back. I go back and forth between 115 and 118 now. I've lost quite a bit of muscle since then and am looking to put it back on and tighten things up.

Drinks lots of water!! If you're not used to eating fiber-rich foods, your body needs time to adjust. Fiber also needs lots of water to help it move along. Feel better soon!

Oh, and there's always at least ONE foreign person with really bad hygiene. I'm not talking light BO from breaking a sweat, i'm talking about the stench of a person who hasn't bathed in over a week and has never heard of deodorant that is wafting from 20 ft away, no exaggerating. It can be so bad, I can TASTE it. Before…

The older guy that pooped his pants on the elliptical and kept pacing back and forth in front of it, wondering what to do...

I still have issues with belly fat, and I lost 40 lbs a few years back (whilst gaining and losing the same 5-8, lol). I'm 5'7" and 117 lbs and the area above and below my bellybutton still jiggles and hangs when I do push ups or planks. I have to say, I blame my diet. While I do eat clean most of the time, my fondness for…

5'7" chest: 34" waist: 25" hips: 34" (at top of hip bone. They're 37" at the widest point, which is the top of my thigh).

I eat a piece of dark chocolate here and there and try not to go overboard! My new favorite thing to do for chocolate cravings is slice up a banana, put a teeny bit of natural PB (a tablespoon should be more than enough for the whole banana) on each banana slice and then top the slices off with a thumbnail sized piece of…

I'll usually go for a salad with the dressing on the side (no cheese) or fish (salmon, mahi, tuna etc) a dry vegetable, and a dry baked potato or sweet potato if available. Sometimes I'll order 2 sides of the dry veggies instead of the starch. I'll squeeze some lime juice on them to give them flavor.

Probably 10 or 15. I still hear that from family members who see me like once a month. Thing is, I don't lose any weight. They just catch me at different stages of bloat, LOL.
