Although I have absolutely NO argument against heavy lifting, I don't understand why women doing high reps with light weights bothers you (or anyone). It is a good place to start for many people, as its not really intimidating, and the ability to injure yourself is probably much less, especially when you are pretty out of…

Wow. What a difference a year makes. You look absolutely wonderful. Happy holidays!! (P.S if you open the image in a new tab the entire thing comes up)

Love beer!! It is definitely my (alcoholic) drink of choice. Usually I go for Alexander Keiths. Yuuuum

I'm sorry to hear you had to go through that. But 16lbs in just over a month makes it unlikely you gained 16lbs of fat. Try eating very healthy this week, drink lots of water, and stay away from salt. I wouldn't be surprised if you drop 5lbs in water weight. Hopefully if you drop a few lbs this week you'll find the…

I think thats completely up to you. (within reason of course) I'm 5'8 and am hoping to land myself around 125. I have a small frame, and sitting around 140 right now I feel like I have A LOT to lose. I think between 120 and 160 is about "normal range" Ultimately just go with what makes you comfortable. And good luck!

Hey! I'm Canadian and looooove to travel. I'm not sure if your looking for a tour company or a good travel agency? I've used Marlin travel for most of my vacations, but have also had a lot of luck with redtag and expedia for booking all-inclusives in the caribbean. They tend to have the most deals. If your looking for a…

Looks fantastic!! I could probably do the same thing in an oven. Thanks for the recipe!

I'm pretty well the definition of an hourglass figure. HUGE bum, and 32D up top. With a 28" waist. (I'm 5'8" and 139lbs) And clothing does not fit. Bottoms I don't have too much trouble with, but I can not wear a form fitting top for the life of me. They just don't fit over my hips or chest properly, unless I get a large,…

Hey! I'm 5'8" and looking to lose about 10-15 more lbs. I've already lost 10. Feel free to add me!!

Oh I hear you girlie. I have three exams next week, and my research supervisor is expecting a bunch of things to be done for my project with him. I literally ate candy all day yesterday. Why? Because it made me feel better, and was easy to eat while studying. I'm in the same boat as you, during summertime I can get my butt…

Yum! Thanks

Coughing up green sputum is generally a sign of bacterial infection. Which your body can sometimes fight by itself, but sometimes an antibiotic will help you out and speed up the process. I'd just pop into a medical clinic and tell them your symptoms. In the meantime, orange juice, tea, brothy soups and REST. I know a lot…

Wow, you look stunning. And many years younger. Great job on the weight loss! Enjoy!!

My first two years of University I was drinking at LEAST 3-4 cups a day. Usually just black coffee, once in a while I'd splurge on something fancy (like a latte). But every summer, once school wound down I went through withdrawal. Migraines everyday, and just general fatigue and weakness. But come September I was back at…
-
It seriously just depends on how your built. I have the opposite of a flat bottom, and am the definition of a bubble bum. 5 years ago when I was swimming competitively and dancing (mainly ballet) competitively 6-7 days a week, i had an even rounder butt. It was firmer, but also larger. So you may not lose anything. Good…

Hey! I'm an Albertan , but feel free to add me :)

When I moved, I went to grocery stores and asked them for apple boxes. They are really sturdy, and usually have a lid. Also liquor stores have a lot of big boxes that can hold a lot of heavy things. Good luck!
-
Hey welcome!! Feel free to add me, I try to at least log on everyday
-
I agree 100% with the people who are saying to step away from the logging for a few days. Even if it does mean you go a bit overboard. I started logging last summer, and it was the same for me. I was OBSESSED. And I would feel so guilty if I went over, and so guilty if I went under. And I'd feel so badly about myself if I…

Your total cholesterol is a combination of HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol). You need HDL cholesterol in order to transport cholesterol around and eventually from your body. Cholesterol is also an essential part of cell membranes. In fact you body makes a lot of its own cholesterol. If your doctor isn't…

There are very few people who haven't had to start over (or at least close to over) during this process. Glad to see you back!! I restarted again around june. So I know what it feels like. Feel free to friend me!

Sometimes at the bottom of my almond milk containers I find its kind of congealed too. I think its just that some parts of the almond milk have fallen out of solution. I don't think I'd drink it (the look of it grosses me out), but I don't think it would make you sick either.

Hey! I'm on here daily. And log my food pretty well daily too. Feel free to add me!

Hey taryn!! Feel free to add me as a friend. :) And welcome to MFP!! PS. I'm canadian too!!

It's always better to know whats up and have it fixed than just leaving the issue alone. I hope every thing goes well for you!! And an electrocardiogram (shortened as EKG OR ECG) is different from an echocardiogram (shortened as ECHO). Here's a website that explains it all. http://www.sads.org.uk/cardiac_tests.htm And by…

Hey! An ECG is super noninvasive and easy. Don't be stressing. All they do is hook some sticky pads (containing the electrodes) to your chest, ankles and side. You sit still for less than 5 minutes and its done. So all it requires is you remove your shirt, but they can cover you up with something after the electrodes are…

Those extra calories are needed. And the nutrients in the food is important to keep your blood sugar and other things up at normal levels. I'm not sure about the red cross, but in Canada (Canadian Blood Services) they offer soup and crackers as well as the cookies and other treats. If your not worried about sodium this…

Then why didn't your boyfriend die after a few days on his diet? Hint: glucogenesis. Probably true, though you didn't tell us where he started, where he ended or exactly what the "did this" that your boyfriend did was. Calling what your boyfriend did a ketogenic diet bay be a stretch. It sounds more likely that he did what…

I'm a very full C cup (actually I'm pretty sure I'm a solid D- and am just lying to myself haha), and I have two sports bras that I love. One is made by Champion and the other Adidas. Both have the racer back and THICK straps. I hate the sports bras that have thin dinky real bra straps. Both cost me about 60$ though. I'm a…

Oh this is such a sore spot for me. My boyfriend did this last summer, and lost 50lbs in about 3 months. However, he went to his doctor for a checkup and his doctor told him that forcing his body into a state of starvation was unhealthy, having ketones in the blood is unhealthy (did you know your heart and brain run solely…
