the diet runs in 3 cycles of 17 days each. the first cycle is a cleanse of sorts, detoxing you off of processed foods that are high in salt and sugar. it promotes a low carb, high protien meal plan with lots of raw and steamed vegetables, and controlled servings of fruit and dairy. the second cycle introduces carbs such as…

20 lbs by labor day would be sweeeeet! but i'd be happy with just 10. i need to fit into my costumes for Dragon Con, and would love to take it in a couple inches if i needed. ;) height: 5' 4" weight: 145 would like to just get back down to the 30's or 20's, and maintain myself from there.

does lemon juice from a bottle work too? i dont have lemons around, but i have just the straight juice...

those huge 7 layer diner cakes....mmm

what WOULDN'T i eat? i've got a major sugar addiction, so for me it would be cake, ice cream. milkshakes, and brownies. followed by lots of chinese food. this is what i imagine heaven to be like: a big fatty buffett. :)

not to be the devil's advocate here, but they most likely refused you service because they prob just couldnt tell if yours was a fake, since they had never seen one before. sucks, but it's been done at some places where i worked at. if i've never seen a nevada driver's license and i live in wisconsin, it's going to be…

i've worked in customer service for 6 years, and i've had some dooseys of racist people come to my counter. my first thought is "who the hell leads with these kinds of comments, when they have known me for all of 4 seconds?" I've never been one to fly off the handle, customer service is all about keeping your cool, and…

i remember when they had a booth at a local spa expo last year. i had a chocolate smoothie with a touch of peanut butter. definitely tastey, and didnt have that chalky grainy taste that i would have expected from a diet shake.

i dont think there's anything wrong with having a couple off days. i'm not too proud to admit i've been able to pack away 2 trays of chips ahoy and milk in a day. the thing is, to not allow a day to transform into a week of bad choices. dont beat yourself up, your only human, and cookies taste good... but when i'm feeling…

asian bodies are smaller in general, in comparison to us americans. we're taller, and overall our measurements are naturally a few inches more. not just due to fat, but because of our bones. our ring sizes, shoe size, hat size, etc..are all generally bigger. so if that system were in place, i doubt many of us would fit in…

my miniature red poodle, Louie. currently, he has a mohawk that's dyed fire engine red, and a spike collar, but he's still super adorable. :)

1: flip a car. i've ALWAYS wanted to be a stunt car driver for the movies, and i feel like if i can just perform a stunt where i get to flip a car, i can die happy lol! 2: travel to the middle of the australian outback, with no civilization for miles, and see the stars the way my ancestors saw them. 3: own a 1957 chevy. 4:…

slow down to a jog/trot, and take deep controlled breaths. not only is taking big breaths rather theraputic for the mind, but also lets your lungs get the most absorption of oxygen to feed those growing muscles. i agree with others to focus on your distance, and not so much time/speed.

I forgive my 2nd language friends a great deal when they talk to me. I only correct them when they say something in that questioning manner, as if to ask "am I saying this right?". One of my schoolmates from Brazil said "I have to learn better english. I am so tired of americans yelling when they talk to me; I'm Brazilian,…

lol'ing at folks calling me out for not capitalizing, and apostrophizing where i should. :laugh: Like -I- said, -I'M- not perfect. :tongue:

for the life of me, i've never been able to have the proper coordination for the "irish setter" move where you are on all fours, and alternate sticking your left hand straight forward and your right leg straight back at the same time, and alternate left leg and right arm. i almost always fall. my balance is terrible, and i…

if you saw them IRL, you would think they were thin and beautiful, the reason being, is that a 3D view to the human eye is more appealing, and gives you a better perspective on their size. a film or photo is 2D, and therefore our eye judges more harshly, because there's not enough information to go on. hence why photos…

Breakfast: oatmeal with almond milk, or an egg and chicken sausage with saurkraut. (this past week it was ice cream d'oh!) Lunch: a steamables bag, soup, chips, or any other quick thing we happen to have. Dinner: vegetables and chicken, or alfredo pasta with spinach and garlic. Snack: nilla wafers cookies, or a fruit…

me and my fiance' are bag lunch makin FOOLS! (well, i am anyway, he just eats them :P) after we eat dinner, when i'm putting away the dishes, whatever is leftover i pack in a container for him. whatever needs to be cold goes in the fridge, and anything that stays out (like gummi snacks or peanut butter), goes right into…

i would strongly suggest going to see a nutritionist about your weight loss issues, as it seems to me like the issue you are having with losing weight is not something anyone here over the internet would be able to decipher, given our lack of professional education and information about your medical history. what i WILL…

wow, i am really proud of you, and inspired by your amazing progress! best of luck to you and the rest of your journey. :)

ANY food becomes expensive, if it's wasted. just because it may seem cheaper to buy the 10lb bag of apples, rather than the 5lb bag, your wasting money if you and your family are not going to realistically eat all of them. save the extra two dollars for something else on your list. also, buy vegetables and fruit staples…

first of all, welcome to MFP! emotional eating is a hard habit to break at first. but stop for a moment before you eat something and ask yourself "what am i REALLY eating this for?" "am i feeling _____ (fill in the blank with anything like bored, guilty, depressed, etc)?" "am i really eating this because im hungry, and if…

*shrugs*, try it out. worse comes to worse, you get hungry after day 4, and you end up making yourself a sandwich. good luck, and report your findings for us, good or bad. :)

your not going to find anyone on here that will reccomend a diet that is below 1200 calories. it's been my findings that a person CAN lose weight very fast at first, and keep it off, but only on a diet that is maintainable. i'd be worried about a diet that is so few calories, a person would not be able to get as many…

i think MFP considers 1200 calories to be the bare minimum. anything below that, and it reccomends eating more. i typically dont log every single bit, since "a drizzle" of dressing isnt exactly a standard unit of measurment. :P i suggest a little piece of dark chocolate to tip you over. or some edamame in the shell. tasty…

"Is a divorced man less attractive?" well, more attractive to me than a currently married one! ;)

you guys really need to stop hitting the quote button of people pointing to their avatars. it's like seriously messing with me when it starts to point to the rear ends of horses, and crying spartans. XD

i remember some of my friends being upset with that facebook thing, because they are naturally skinny, and have just as much body issues as overweight people do. some of us cant help our body type wether it's 102 lbs, or 201 lbs... i find it the idea that thin women arent happy and lead boring lives, to be rather…

i'm one of the few women that like the cute shorties. someone over 5'11" is not for me. (i've dated tall guys and it was incredibly akward for me. they were all elbows and knees in bed :P) my fiance is 5' 8", and he's perfect for me! i'm 5' 4", so i dont hafto tip toe to kiss him. i like the "otter mode" guys. lean swimmer…
