my weight loss has been kinda weird also. i think i went for about 3 weeks with nothing. i started doing intermitten fasting (which would be the way i normally ate before starting myfitnesspal just more healthy stuff and prob smaller quantity) last week and i have noticed a considerable difference with it. i'm not sure if…

^^^ this!! it is AWESOME! and addictive so you have been warned :smile:

Go to skinnytaste.com and just look around. There is TONS of different recipes for chicken, pork, fish. The sits is freaking addictive. Plus if you make a free account you can add stuff to your recipe box to save it. I've already made several things off of there and they are all great! Its nice to look at other stuff just…

^^^ this definately do something you are passionate about. there is no way i could ever see myself not being a nurse. if you find something you are interested in ask if you can job shadow. really get a taste for it and see if it is what you want to do. don't ever think you are too dumb to do something. you never know until…

The only thing that scares me about getting old is getting REALLY old. I worked in an assisted living home and it was so sad to see some of these amazing people who had Alzheimer's. One of the residents was sure she was friends with my mom and introduced me to her daughter every time she came in, which was several times a…

go ahead and eat it. it will help keep your immune system up to date :laugh: i would eat it :smile: i'm a nurse and have already decided when nuclear warfare breaks out it will be me and the cockroaches left. that or the govenment will take me and do tests on my immune system. i work in pediatrics and the only time i ever…

skinnykitchen.com is pretty good too. i LOVE skinnytaste.com though :smile:

i think its more about equality. i personally could care less who someone else wants to be with as long as its not animals or children. there are perks to being "married" though. your spouse gets to be on your health ins (if you are a "life partner" then they can be on your ins but i believe you have to pay taxes on the…

haha everyone only thinks us southerns are slow and stupid :laugh: we are really just smart a$$es

I second that!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You must be southern :drinker: I use that phrase soooo much :laugh: :laugh:

try skinnykitchen.com they have some tasty stuff

haha now i'll have to take a pic and post it :blushing:

Hour glass with a big ole black girl booty :laugh: which is kind of amusing on a pasty white girl. I even have black girl friends that want my butt :bigsmile:

maybe not. could be simple hypoglycemia. some people just get low blood sugar if they go for long periods without eating. I wouldn't simply write it off and just carb related. Which hypoglycemia kind of is. The only thing to treat hypoglycemia is carbs :huh: That being said the only way to know for sure would be to see…

I'm curious about this whole intermitten fasting. I may have to try it. I have found that if i eat breakfast that by lunch I'm starving and ready to eat until I'm uncomfortably full but if I don't eat anything for breakfast and just have a drink (normally a diet something or a Dr. Pepper 10) then by lunch time its not too…

these all sound great. may have to try some :smile:

birthdate and social might be helpful also :happy:

you may just be replacing fat with muscle right now? try getting measurement and track that also. I can go a couple of weeks with no loss and then suddenly 2-4lbs is gone. just keep at it. you will get results.

everyone is an expert/doctor huh? I personally think insulin spikes are total bull****. I remember on one occasion for lunch I had Pizza, coke, and hershey's dippers and about 15 min after we finished eating we got curious and checked our blood sugar. I believe mine was 90ish. easily between the 70-120 rang. Your body is…

check out skinnykitchen.com I am a super picky eater and don't really care for veg but I have found a few things on here that sound pretty good. The skinny chicken parmigiana is actually really good

sounds delicious!!

Yep pretty much every day through the week I have a banana and a Dr. Pepper 10 for breakfast. Its easy plus sometimes my stomach kills me after I eat breakfast (not sure why it does this but it has since I was in high school) and a banana has never caused me any GI distress so far :smile:

sounds good :smile: will definatly have to try

great job!! I was doing Insanity a couple of weeks ago and realized that I now have 2 pairs of workout pants I can't wear when doing Insanity anymore because they fall off and I have plumber butt during the workout :bigsmile: Nothing feels better than your close getting so big they fall off of you!! :laugh: way to go!!

I went to physical therapy about a year ago for an injury from a car accident, I recently went back and saw the same therapist and she was like "wow miss skinny minnie you have lost some weight" and when she was checking the muscle tone in my hips (which was HORRIBLE when I first started physical therapy) she smiled and…

"no we are just friends" haha yep and I have santa and the easter bunny taking my car to get it washed. If you ever have a feeling they aren't just friends, it's very likely they aren't "just friends" Now for an amusing quick story. I was with a guy for about 3 years, he joined the airforce and got stationed in Wyoming…

I've been doing Insanity and have noticed my clothes fitting better. The progress on the scale is slower. I will go a couple of week and lose nothing and then almost seems like overnight 3-4 lbs are gone. I keep fluctuating but its not helped that I got sick over the weekend and haven't done any. I'm going to attempt to do…

maybe we could turn this into a support thread, or an intervention? "Hi my name is Erica and I hate my family because I drink cokes and don't always cook everything from scratch and personally think 'organic' is a crock of ****. even farmers use pesticides, at least my dad did when we had a garden when I was little. Wait…

like :drinker: I had a ****ty night. i need some more entertainment to keep my mind off of stuff. keep it rolling
