Cheapest gym you could find ... but how much are you paying in gas to get there??? My gym is 5 minutes up the street and I pay $20/month, no contract. Try a Y or rec center!

Don't cut carbs, just eat BETTER carbs... whole grain breads and sweet potatoes.

I'd say you're there!! Great job!

WORK OUT. You can eat back whatever you burn off. But you need to make sure you know exactly how much you're burning. Invest in a HRM, and also a food scale. Definitely eat a fruit & veggie at each meal, this will help keep you full, and your protein levels are probably too low if you're going off what MFP sets you for.…

You cannot lose weight doing a crazy workout like Insanity and eating that little. I'm doing Insanity and I eat about 2000 calories a day after workout calories.

That's great!

we usually spoon, or i lay my head on his chest. we move around a lot in our sleep though, so we end up in weird positions all during the night.

sundress cardigan nice earrings no necklace because the sundress should show off your neck/chest (no cleavage) strappy heels or sandals clutch minimal makeup (eyeliner, mascara, a little blush)

a massage ($40), pedi ($30), and a new sports bra ($20-30)

YUM to that second picture. i love a strong back, male or female!

If money weren't an issue, I would still work. I have a passion, and that's what I'm studying for my career. It's not because of the money. I could potentially make VERY little money, or I could potentially make a LOT of money doing what I'm studying... I couldn't NOT work. Any time I've been unemployed, I've enjoyed the…

If you can do 60 days of working out without losing weight, I think you really can lose weight. Just the fact you've stuck with it this long just means you're determined!!! You should find a nutritionist who can tell you EXACTLY how much you should be eating and can give you tips on WHAT to eat, because you could be eating…

i would probably say "how else will you get your strength training in?" lol!

This was one of the first days of Insanity. I'm a month and a half in now.

I say find a job first. Look both where you live and where he lives. Whichever offers you a job first, go or stay there. Because if things don't work out for the boy, you still have to survive on your own.

Yep, it was two of my best friends' brother and we were smitten. I was 15 and he was 17. Now he's married to a b|tch, and I laugh at the karma... he was a jerk to me after the kiss, so you get what's comin' to ya! My first kiss with my current boyfriend was super awkward 'cause his style of kissing is SO different from…

Do it. I don't see a problem with it. I wish I was in shape enough to feel comfortable in just a sports bra. When I run outside in the summer, I only wear a sports bra, mostly because of the heat. If your reason is the same in the gym, you're totally justified. Also, if you have a rockin' bod, you're justified. lol!

My form was horrible for those too until the second time I did it. When you side lunge, don't bend your knee to go down so much as sitting BACK with your butt. Think of it as sitting back into a chair. It's more of a lunge/squat combo.

Wow, you look great! And holla at your peacock tank! I have one too! :happy:

Change your goals to lose 2 lbs/per week and be REALLY good, and haul *kitten*!

That sounds great! What you described is cross training. It's typically an hour and you split it up between several machines. That way you get a different workout for different muscles, but still good solid cardio. You should start a strength training routine as well. Even if it's just poking around the weight machines at…

He is graduated from college, not sure what else, but I know from seeing him on mutual friends (still fb friends with his sisters) that he's still the lazy fat tard he was when I dated him, ha. Pretty sure he's single, while I'm happily in a committed relationship that has now lasted longer than his and mine did. :happy:…

SLEEPING!!!!

"Don't waste that, it's perfectly good!" Perfectly good as in, could kill me if I keep eating it? Yep. It's perfectly good, alright.

Nope! LIES. The cholesterol in eggs is GOOD cholesterol. It's HDL which you want a decent amount of. Stuff with LDL you want less of. Think of it like this: when you go for a physical, you want your HDL's to be high - H. You want your LDL to be low - L. Therefore, the LDL is "bad" and the HDL is "good".

1 cup! Or, just do it this way... get a food scale, put a bowl on the scale, reset the scale to 0, then slowly put in your spaghetti until it reaches 2 oz. I do this when I'm really concentrated, but lately I just eye it, then scoop out 1 cup for my serving, and put the rest in the fridge. Leftover spaghetti today, in fact!

I find the super comfy ones :happy: I can't wear anything else, and going commando just doesn't work. Nothing to soak up the sweat!

Yeah, I'm a large D right now. When I was about 130, I was a big C, so I'm hoping to get back to that and hopefully no smaller once I hit my goal weight (140). *dancedance*

Anything that combines lower body and upper body will make the upper body with 5 lb weights seem harder. Try squats while you do your bicep curls or really anything else.

Maybe you're more bored with the workout? Try 30DS or No More Trouble Zones. I started with NMTZ, it's an hour long, and I loved it. I saw almost immediate results as far as new muscle growth. Inner thigh muscles, helllerrrr! :happy:
