  • Would totally go for a mani/pedi (overdue for one as it is!)
  • Absolutely melt...*blush*
  • WOOOOO!!! Another World Series win please!!
  • No, you are not gross. One of the things that I had a huge problem with, and still do, is self-sabotage. I will log my food and then see I am under my goal and go ahead and slip something else in. I would convince myself that I was doing so well that a cheat meal wouldn't hurt me or skipping the gym for that day was fine…
  • I just wanted to follow up with this a little. I was on the phone with him today and when I asked him what he was doing today, he said he had to go into town (a 60 mile round trip) to the pharmacy to pick up more medications. This is a weekly event for him. I replied with a comment that it must be exhausting to manage all…
  • I don't think he wants me to cross any of my boundaries. On the contrary, he is very accommodating to me. The first time I went over to his place, he had gone out and bought a case of bottled water knowing that I won't drink sodas. When we have gone out to eat, he lets me choose the places to make sure there is something…
  • I can see some of the points being made that it's none of my business, I should stay out of it, you can't help someone who is unwilling to help themselves, and all that. However, if you love someone, shouldn't you try to do the best you can for them? The reply that it's like falling in love with an alcoholic is absolutely…
  • This is someone that I have come to care a great deal for and that I can see things developing with. As shallow as it may sound, I don't want to become involved with someone who basically won't be there with me into old age. I've had my share of loss in my life and I don't want to get hurt again, but I can see things…
  • Don't let the opinions and judgments of others dictate what you do or how you feel. You are right, you still have a ways to go to get to healthy range. However, having lost so much already, those close to you may be looking at the visual change and not the numbers in the situation. It can be shocking for some people to see…
  • I am giving up fat. I'm tired of carrying so much of it around with me. :)
  • I lost 12 lbs my first week. Most of it was water weight though. :)
  • There's a lot of different types of sugar and the kind you get from fruit is different from the type you get from processed foods. Read this - http://www.healthy-answers.com/a-sugar.html

  • Do this: [ img ] put the link in here [ / img ] but without any spaces anywhere
  • I bought and started using a BodyMedia Fit and I'll tell you that, for me, the calorie counts on here are WAY off. My calculated BMR is somewhere in the 1800s and it told me to set my calories at 1520. I have a really low resting heart rate so I have to work harder to get a higher heart rate that's quoted as being…
  • Help? Anyone? I know I'm not the only person on MFP who uses a BMF or a BodyBugg...
  • The key to any psychological diagnosis is the 4 Ds: Deviance: Deviant behavior is that which differs greatly to the behavior of a particular society at a particular time. Individual circumstances can sometimes justify abnormal behavior, but in the absence of these circumstances, the particular behavior is considered…
  • Wrong kind of doctor. I was seeing my psychiatrist and not my general practitioner. I'd have to make a new appointment to ask him about that.
  • After drinking a little water and moving around, it went up to 55, but that's not resting. That's a temporary increase due to physical activity so I think it defeats the purpose of taking a resting rate. I know my heart rate can be elevated - it elevated when I work out.
  • I use Reclaim Smart Smoothie from Complete Nutrition and will use it as my breakfast smoothie and then usually go walking or do some kind of small workout in the morning (my big workouts are in the evenings, like Zumba class or going to the gym). There are many flavors, they are only 120 calories per scoop (1 scoop per…
  • I have a mochaccino protein powder that I'll have to start adding to this. :) As simple as it seams to make this my breakfast smoothie, I actually haven't thought of adding the powder to it. *lol*
  • My Pina Colada (298 calories depending on the coconut milk you use): 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup pineapple, 1/3 cup coconut milk Blueberry Blend (180 calories depending on the yogurt you use): 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup yogurt, 1cup blueberries I usually also add in a scoop of my vanilla protein powder…
  • When I am feeling lazy or wanting something I know I shouldn't eat, I will watch episodes of Biggest Loser or Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. Seeing how pumped and motivated they are and how they are going from twice my size to their goal weights is inspiring to me. I usually finish one episode and then go workout…
  • Reclaim Smart Smoothie from Complete Nutrition. I love the chocolate, vanilla, and mochaccino.
  • I had the same problem when I first started, I went from eating once a day to eating every couple of hours in portions. It was a huge difference. IT GOES AWAY! Remember that. I try to keep all of my food under 300 calories except dinner. I try to keep that one under 600. Once your body gets used to getting food on a…
  • My pace isn't that fast. Maybe between 5 and 5.5mph. I like the timing breaths idea. And I'll definitely double up for extra protection. Right now I only have compression type bras and all they do is squish and cause my entire front to bounce, flab and all, and not just the boobs.
  • Take some milk of magnesia before drinking to coat your stomach and prevent absorption, then take two midol with a warm coke before bed. The midol will help with the queasiness and has a built in mild diuretic to help get the alcohol out of your system faster and the carbonation in the warm coke helps speed the breakdown…
  • I just showed my husband this and his first response was, "Where'd your other chin go?" Ummm...don' know how to react to that. *lol*
  • I didn't even notice that. :D
  • As a rule, I try to drink 9 to 12 cups or water a day. I noticed today that the cramping wasn't as bad, but my breathing is really bad. I'm rather large chested and, even in a sports bra, bounce a lot. I noticed I am shortening my breaths to match the rise and fall of the bouncing. Any help with this, ladies?
  • I'm running at 6:30am. i get up at about 5:30am and head over to the university. I will have a protein shake at about 5:45am before I go (breakfast) and will have a 24oz bottle of water with me that i start drinking after I finish my shake. By the end of the run, the bottle is near or completely empty. I also will take a…
