  • I love the Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers. Tasty, everything stays how it should because it's cooked outside of the sauce, and good calorie ranges. I know the sodium content can be high but I'm managing ok even eating frozen meals at work. I wouldn't be able to do anything if I didn't have those to rely on!
  • I'm 5'11'' and though I didn't hit my full height until about 16, but 12 I was already 5'10''. my mom is a good three inches shorter than me and lamented all the time that I hated sports because she could have used my height in her youth. I used to get stressed out and worried about being taller than my friends and all the…
  • That's not even a question. After being 130lbs overweight, I can handle being only 10 pounds over but being happy.
  • I never used to drink water so when I started it was very difficult. Now, since I don't drink my calories and am not a fan of most calorie free drinks, all I drink is water. I average 80oz a day just because I like it, not because I'm forcing it.
  • I honestly didn't read more than the first sentence because it was an overwhelming paragraph there. But in response to what I believe the subject is, I eat like a normal person, like I will eat for the rest of my life. I eat infinitely better than I used to, and I make small changes all the time to make my diet better, but…
  • Uhm. I landed hard on my ankle in high school and it swellled up to grapefruit size. Couldn't walk on it, nothing. Xrays showed nothing and within two days it was fine. However I have long lasting ankle issues that I still struggle to deal with because of that injury and that I didn't get it treated because it wasn't a…
  • This. My family lived under the poverty line until I was 13. I now make three times more money than my mother and I'm only 22. Because I went out and changed myself for the better and that resulted in changing class levels. My bf I met because we were in the same place at the same time. I have never once thought about…
  • The problem with this is, you could weigh a complete range of things at a certain BF percentage, because being a certain height and BF% does not mean you will always weight X amount. Find out what your Lean Body Mass is now, and make a goal to maintain or increase it, and you can figure what your realistic goal weight…
  • I'm not a dr at all but to me that sounds silly. I can understand wanting to do something for faith based reasons but I have to think that your faith and your god will forgive you if you aren't healthy enough to do so. You have serious medical conditions that have you on medication for a reason, it's not a game. Your dr…
  • I belong to a large gym chain and the weight lifting area always intimidated me. People were rude when I would ask if they were done with a piece, they refused to share even if they were doing a circuit...all that jazz. I joined a cheap gym with my best female friend so we could lift together. Even when there's guys there…
  • Exactly this. I have a deficit of 1000 a day so I aim as close to goal as possible. However, I'm usually under because I would rather be 10 under than 10 over and it's hard as hell to hit the exact number. I also don't eat back all my calories from work outs for accuracy reasons, I try to leave about half of those just in…
  • See I was always the opposite. To me, nerd is more....with the physical intelligence whereas a geek is like...a more socially adept nerd.
  • I'm 5'11 266lbs and currently in a very loose size 20. Though, with vanity sizing how it is, it really depends on the cut, brand, and even the fabric what size I fit into. Since I stick with certain brands I'll stick with saying that's the size I am for now. When I was thin in my late teens I was 180 and a 14-16 depending.…
  • Define each. Every one has their own definitions it seems. I consider myself a geek, what with my Star Wars tattoos, unhealthy obsession with Firefly, and love of all books fantasy related.
  • It's different because whatever was plugged into the data base was based on someone who was not you. The machine is going to be slightly more accurate, and a heart rate monitor will be more accurate still.
  • I mainly aim for calorie goal and I stick as close to the number as I can without leaving myself either starving or stuffed (so if I happen to have a lot left at the end of the day I don't force it). I don't pay super close attention to the others, but I keep an eye on it just to see.
  • I did NROLFW for a while but got bored and do my own thing now. I'm 5'11'' and have always had good strength and in the six weeks I did it I increased exponentially to the point where if I was deadlifting dumbbels it was awkward because I needed 50lbs in each hand. Also from a practicality standpoint it is not a program…
  • I'm just shy of six feet at 5'11''. My goal is 180. When I was in the 170s I was skeletal and I like the muscle mass I have now so I'm aiming for the lower 180s and 20% BF. (with current LBM 183lbs would put me at 20%). I started over 300 but I'm down to the upper 260s now.
  • Depends on how you define flirting. AT the beginning of my relationship I would get upset with my bf because he would be flirting with girls who were approaching him. I learned that he legitimately had NO IDEA they were flirting with him and he's just a nice guy. He's one of those cheeseballs that's always telling lame…
  • It's something like 6% of all Americans have a tattoo while in my generation as many as 12%...seeing as how that's a minority with any amount of ink, I'm gunna go ahead and say no. That leaves over 80% ink free, how is that rebellious?
  • I'm assuming nerdiest because that's immediately where my mind went, because I'm a nerd and all. I have three Star Wars tattoos. I love math. I struggle with social situations. I read 1-2 full length novels a week. I love Firefly and am a total Browncoat. Alright top five haha
  • I think the series as a whole is amazing. The fist book is great, I think the third is the best, then five, then one, two, four. I love authors that aren't afraid to kill off main characters, and it's brilliant how he switches perspectives so that the idea of "villain" is completely blurred. It's hard to hate some of the…
  • He tries to push me over sometimes because I do actually kick in my sleep. I'm sure he is just plotting an escape. Now I'm onto him!
  • My boyfriend sleeps closer to the door. As in, you can touch the door from where he sleeps. Mostly because I'm crazy and I HAVE to sleep on the other side because of how it feels.... Also he's not the protector. I'm six inches and 80 lbs heavier with a martial arts background and my daddy raised me to know how to shoot.
  • I'm 5'11'' and currently 266. I eat between 1700-2100 depending on if I worked out or not.
  • My mom tells me all the time if I move in with my bf to get a two bedroom. She and my dad have been together 22 years and still are very much in love but she HATES sleepign near him because of a lot of issues. They got a special bed for her back that adjusts so it's kind of like two beds attached so that helped but then…
  • I don't have children of my own so my opinion is colored by personal experience.... Just think about it. It takes six weeks to heal. So not only is there instant pain, but the healing pain. And a baby can't have things explained to them, they just know their ears hurt. I was four when I got my ears pierced. It was a treat…
  • I work out in basketball shorts from I don't even remember where. Sports bras from target. T-Shirts that were free from my previous job (we might have a promotion and got a tshirt to wear for that time and then got to keep the shirts). I seriously have 20 tshirts from them...
  • If you are in full posession of your wit then I really think there's no such thing as "too old".
