i'll let you determine which part i'm proud of based on this picture :)

@Duc, i love that picture! and my teddy bear :) so no, don't change it haha

got dumped 2 months ago after 4+ years. womp womp.

i'm going to give myself a 7. definitely an 8.5 when i'm in shape. CURSE YOU FATNESS!

i miss my size 8 gap jeans :(

there's a pretty good chance that your birth control is interacting with or inhibiting the effectiveness of your synthroid. i tried 4 different birth controls before i settled on the nuvaring because this is the only thing that hasn't interacted with my synthroid. check with your doctor and ask if they will help you play…

eat more fat or protein instead to get to your goal.

bro, the men's gymnastic team could crack your skull with their thighs. please.

you're not going to get your money's worth out of weights if that's all your budget is. look up Convict Conditioning on google. it's a free book that you can download and it will give you an excellent body weight training program that literally requires no equipment. otherwise, pilates and certain forms of yoga are…

pick up a hobby! swim, run, learn to shoot archery, cycle, rock climb, ride horses, etc. if you have something that will keep you active and that you can continue to progress at, in incremental steps, it will keep you on the right track. doesn't need to be necessarily weight loss related, but definitely concrete and goal…

1 cup cottage cheese 1/2 cup oatmeal 4 eggs 1) blend in a magic bullet/food processor 2) make pancakes 3) ???? 4) PROFIT it's like, 600 calories, a **** of a lot of protein, almost no carbs, and you can still scramble an egg or have a couple sausage links and still stay in your desired range. they also refrigerate well if…

there can't really be a site that will do it for you because it doesn't know the variables you are using. the only reason serving sizes exist is because someone came up with them. so you have to come up with yours for any custom recipes you make.

check out the following website: swole.me you're welcome :D

check out the 4 hour body, leangains.com, and mark's daily apple for similar strategies. there are specific articles that detail this approach that i am totally blanking out on right now but i'll add them to the thread when i remember. i use the 'backloading' approach when i'm training for a specific event and i need to…

have you eaten today? have you had anything to drink today? ..your weight fluctuates every time you put food in your body. don't get on the scale more than once in a day. weigh in the morning, after you've used the bathroom and before you eat. that should be the only time you get on the scale.

i'm sure this has been said about 50348 times in the last 9 pages, but stop buying your kids ****ty food. you're wasting money and teaching them bad habits. they'll eventually get hungry enough to eat what you make for them. stop making it into a game where they win.

shadow boxing will destroy you. one of the biggest loser contestants a couple seasons ago injured his knee and lost FORTY pounds shadow boxing. i bet youtube has a bunch of videos you can follow.

your diary for the last couple days looks really good :) i think you'll start to see results soon, if your headaches are gone and you feel good, your body will continue to get used to your new eating pattern and you will see things change! i stay under 100 carbs and then mentally subtract out for fiber. i feel better, more…

up your calories, especially if you insist on increasing your exercise. reduce carbs, reduce sodium, increase protein, increase fat. increase vegetables. lift heavy weights.

watching the last bit of coverage for this year's le tour. and then crying.

i used to search things in the order i thought the parts of the dish should go in but now i just select things based on their order in my 'most used' list. when i make protein pancakes it shows up as 4 eggs, 1/2c cottage cheese, 1/4c oats, and 2 sausage links. must look confusing as crap but i know what i ate haha

i'm not sure what time zone you're in, but unless it's after midnight where you are, you can't really do anything other than ask your neighbors to quiet down. check the noise violation laws/code for the city where you live and if the noise isn't brought down by that time, you can call the police. that's about as much as…

you should probably ask your trainer to clarify what he meant and ask him for more specific information, as he is the one that knows what he meant.

<-- yesterday :(

i feel defective. i had not an inkling of a boner looking at that :(

honestly, i think you need to work on loosening up. your self esteem will probably continue to increase as you lose weight and become more comfortable with yourself and that will make it easier to go out and be social. but you have to be able to relax and let go of things as well.

yep.

Armageddon. womp womp.

i weigh myself every morning. i use it as motivation to make positive food, exercise, and sleep choices every day. i don't get upset if numbers don't go down each time and i can anticipate blips but as long as the overall trend is downward, i am pleased with that and consider it progress. to me, the scale is just another…

boxes come in all shapes and sizes! each kind has something special to offer :)
