Well said.

I'm not even gonna bother posting. Just add a couple of $ extra for all of them and then a 9.75% state tax.

Levi's and Express are my go toos. The one I am wearing in my current picture is Lee. But they stopped making this particular model years ago :-/

I am mostly vegetarian too and I find TVP/soy chunks to be a great source of protein!

^This. I often get asked why I have a British accent and don't sound like Apu from The Simpsons. I don't know whether to laugh or to be offended. And no, I don't have cows or elephants as pets.

I keep switching between Organic 2% and whole milk. I don't really care much for the fat % in milk. It's pretty negligible in comparison to the fat I get from other foods. :o)

I typically don't prefer applying oodles of makeup. Just a little powder, blush and eyeliner and I am good to go :-) No makeup With makeup and Husband

My thighs are currently 23" and they have always been 23". I've been lifting for a while now. And instead of focusing on my thighs or my butt, I started focusing on my upper body so that I could go from a pear shape to an hourglass. And in the process of doing that, the 23" of fat are now a mix of 23" of fat and muscle....…

No one here is a fan of Takis? I finished an entire big bag of them before I started training again. I still treat myself to chips... but in moderation... I love Kettle cooked Lays in the Jalapeno flavor... Man!

IMHO, BMI is just a bunch of BS. A lot of factors go into determining if a person is obese, overweight, underweight, appropriate, etc like age, height, race, build. BMI charts are very standard, thus making it a very dicey tool to rely on. BF% on the other hand, is a tool I'd rely on.

I love mine with a little salt and water. Blend it and chug it down like buttermilk.

I have a Bachelors in Economics and Statistics. A Masters in Economics and another in Financial Analysis. I am prepping for the CFA at the moment.

Yep. That is quite true. Especially in India. What you eat and how much you eat tells a lot about your upbringing.

Yep. I'm Indian and well, you will see a massive difference in opinions across the country, from North to South. I am skinny when I visit my family in southern India and fat when I visit my family in Northern India. And Indians don't mince their words when it comes to calling you fat or skinny. "you are too fat. Lose some…

I would agree with the size 6 if the size 6 fit me without my needing to pull them up every other minute, thus making them uncomfortable. It's all relative, really.

I agree with the guy that made this statement. With cardio only, I was skinny fat. I'd fit into a size 4 pair of jeans but still have a muffin top. Then I started lifting and well, now my size 4 jeans fit perfectly, I weigh more than I did with cardio alone. And my curves are still in place. A mix of both is good. I find a…

Well, love handles are essentially fat. You need a combination of fat busting and core strengthening exercises. You can't spot reduce. But as your overall fat % decreases, your muffin top will reduce too. Just keep going at it! Planks are good. Swissball jackknives are good. And HIIT is good.

Okay, that is repulsive. And I am not sugarcoating it. LOL

Here's mine I am a part-time singer and the wing symbolized my flighty nature a few years ago :-)

LOL. You guys are funny. What I dislike about female "transformation" is that we take forever to "transfrom". Whereas men just need a month or two of working out to drop pounds :grumble:

I have been eating egg whites everyday for the longest period. Not high in calories. Helps me get my share of protein :-)

Bay Area here too... Dublin, to be precise :-)

Her younger sister has an hourglass figure too. She's just bigger than Kim K. Most women from the Middle East and Southeast Asia have hourglass figures like Kim K. Just different sizes, that's all. Just because you do not know anyone shaped like her, doesn't mean they don't exist. :o)

How does having an hourglass figure make you fat?

I have been using a pressure cooker ever since zi started cooking. Its amazing how much I rely on it to make everything, from shops to rice to pasta... Name it!! Www.tastespotting.com has a lot of recipes on there for pressure cookers!

I agree with posters who say the only way to let your hair grow is to let it be healthy. I am Indian and we are known for amazing hair. I stopped styling my hair about 3 years ago, wash it twice a week, let it air dry and just let it be and it's grown much Ickes than it was, much shinier than its ever been, etc. I also…

I've been with my husband for 4 years now. I am 25. He's 31. We got married when I was 22, dated for a year. You are going to find some people who are cynical based on their experience and some people who are over the moon based on their experiences. What you need to do is follow your heart and make sure you are getting…

For the record, there IS a fluffy poop! Bristol Stool Scale The Bristol Stool Scale or Bristol Stool Chart is a medical aid designed to classify the form of human feces into seven groups. It was developed by Heaton and Lewis at the University of Bristol and was first published in the Scandinavian Journal of…

This thread is awesome :-D Things that make you go poo poo....

Word!
