Yeah, that happened to me and we are still best friends...married now for 8 years. :)

Wow, I could have written this practically word for word myself...you and I are in the exact same boat! I have been trying to get 1400 a day, regardless of exercise calories, and it is hard for me because I eat gluten free and low fat/sugar. I am also working out hard for a total body transformation...not just weight loss.…

Love the skin you are in and do NOT get in that tanning bed...you are going to have fight skin cancer from age 30-38! Otherwise...have fun! :)

Ridiculous! I lift as heavy as I can...in Pump class, machines and free weights. Lifting is awesome for women, and lifting heavy is fun! Wow, why are so many women afraid of it????

My family had plenty of money but fast food was still considered a special treat for me, too! It is expensive and bad for you. I used to love having a babysitter because I would always get KFC that night! LOL! I agree with everyone saying providing the awful foods that lead to childhood obesity is abuse. Ok, so perhaps…

I like Designer Whey...100 calories a scoop. Vanilla and chocolate are my favorites.

It looks like a lot of your calories are coming from sugar in sweet drinks and quite a bit of bread. You eat a lot of healthy things, too, but the ones I see here are not very "filling" choices. Try brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, increase protein and lighter on the sandwiches and sugary drinks. If you get a good…

Maryland...DC/Annapolis suburbs. :)

unless you are using an HRM to log your exercise do NOT eat back all your exercise cals. The numbers this site has on their database tend to be very high on most. If you follow their numbers you will be eating back more than you burned and not lose...perhaps even gain weight. Also, don't get carried away logging everyday…

Yep...I don't remember if it was the first day but she said she walked out. And there sat her mom nodding and interrupting her with excuses for her...about everything! No wonder Lauren is a wreck. It will be hard for her to ever be independent, or happy.
-
Haha!!! No kidding! Good luck with that, right??? ;)
-
I don't know what that yellow stuff was in the jar at Dr. Perricone's office, but I hazard to guess Lauren does not lose the weight. She seems spoiled and lazy and unmotivated. First night on her diet she is already saying "well if this doesn't work then pass the meatballs!". Whatever. Perhaps she should consider…

125-130 with muscle...no flab. :)
-
My trainer also has a degree in nutrition and she said the same thing. She also told me to increase to between 1300 and 1400 per day...but that has nothing to do with how much I burn. Personally I see the biggest differences when I eat clean calories vs. crap calories. I do not agree with eating back every exercise calorie…

I am supposedly the "perfect" weight now for my height...being 5'7" and 144 lbs, I fall right in the middle of my BMI...but the BMI does not factor in your structure, and I have tiny wrists, shoulders, collar bones, narrow hips, etc. ...I was always 125-130 before I put on 20 lbs on a medication 2 years ago. Now I am…

staying busy and out of the kitchen and restaurants is what works for me. If I am out of the house doing other things I forget about food..and if I am home I stay busy getting things done. Also just don't buy anything that is too tempting...like sweets or junky snacks. If all you have to binge on is veggies, fruit, and…

LOL! I just can't believe someone actually says they would prefer their child NOT read. really? And using a curse word makes people sound uneducated???? I always read and my children love to read. I do not think that cursing makes anyone automatically sound uneducated. Now if you can't get through a sentence w/out…
-
Really...there are so many more important things that equate to good parenting than cursing. I try not to, but do it anyway sometimes. And my kids are doing great so far and they have each used a bad word here and there to "test the waters" but they know they may not speak that way because it is not nice. I don't pretend…

Eating highly caloric foods like pizza and bread will cause you to max out calories on one small meal. If you eat healthy, low calorie, healthy foods you should have no problem staying full on 1200 a day, especially if you are exercising and earning exercise calories. I am set at 1200 and I eat all day long and am full all…
-
Same here. I dress in cute gym clothes because I wear them all day running around town! With my 3 year old it is way easier to just go as is than to come home and start from scratch. Plus sweaty hair is easily fixed...i just re-do the ponytail and off i go! Why is anyone bothered by women looking nice at the gym anyway?…

full fat Mexican food and big, homestyle cheesburgers! And carrot cake with thick cream cheese frosting! YUMMMMMMMM :)
-
I find that raw fish (sushi) is actually not "fishy" at all...but cooked fish is. I think it is a combination of the quality being much higher for sushi grade seafood...plus the cooking process seems to bring out that fishy flavor and smell, especially for tuna and yellowtail. Start with very "American" sushi like…
-
I would never eat back all my exercise cals regularly...I have tried it and it usually has me eating when I am not hungry at all, which seems illogical...dieting or not. I don't lose when I do it. I usually burn around 400-600 in the gym and I stick with 1200 a day or a little more depending on how hungry I am. I make sure…
-
feel free to add me! I am 5'7" and I would like to get down to the 130s from my starting weight of 155. I am down a few lbs but still have a long way to go, especially with firming up and getting muscle tone. Good luck! -Mel

true religion, citizens for humanity, rock and republic, AG, william rast. yes they cost more but the designs and material are so great that the price is well worth it. Jeans last forever if you don't put them in the dryer.

Wow! You are an inspiration!

Water beds! The old kind with the big rubber mattress and padding around the whole damn thing. Uhhh, my best friend had one and I would get motion sickness everytime I spent the night at her house!

OMG...my mother was such a prude! Had it not been for Judy Blume I might still not know what the heck is going on! I learned everything about life from Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary! :)

Or an "I'm a Pepper" shirt!
