People eat based on their hormones. That said, your metabolism rises at PMS and TOM and you can safely eat 250 - 500 extra calories without gaining (depending on the person). That said, eat away (within reason) and take it easy. Use this time to lift extra (if you are a lifter) take advantage of the extra calories to build…

I have no experience w/tongue piercings, but I do with teaching. When I taught, I was never free to be myself. I had a belly button ring and my shirt lifted once and I got in trouble. I had to be very careful. We were told we couldn't drink beer in public or in bars in the same country we taught. We were advised to not be…

I didn't lose a lb. Actually gained a few, bc I laid on the couch while my boyfriend hand fed me pizza.

oops. Triple post.

double post.

Do you just realize that after making this comment about the "people who post here" that you, yourself have posted three times. No job? No life? It sucks you in, doesn't it!

Oh and then there is my story with them. This is brief. My sister gave me her left over Phen bc they wouldn't work on her any longer. I had two week's worth. I took them for 14 days and lost 7 lbs (I only took half a pill, not the whole). I gained that all back in three weeks when done with the pills. I never pigged out to…

My sister was given Phentermine twice by her doctor. Both times she got teeny-tiny and adorable. The first time she had to stop when she got pregnant. She then went back on them and as I said, she became itty, bitty and so cute, but they stopped working, I suppose her body became used to them. She went off of them for a…

I am going to get shot for saying this, but the 100% honest truth is I did the Master Cleanse for two weeks in 2012 and haven't touched diet soda, Redbull or tea since. I have no desire, found I don't need it for energy like I thought I did and this experience was a surprise conclusion. Like an alcoholic to booze, I don't…

Beautiful smile.

Furthermore, reality tv has to have something odd, unique, dramatic, etc or it wouldn't be good enough to watch. This is tv. She's the one pegged as the "yeller". It may be just for ratings. Furthermore, each ptrainer on there has a different technique they use to motivate. Different things motivate different ppl. Some ppl…

Jillian made a winner last night. She knows what she is doing. She yells to get er done, but it doesn't appear her successful clients mind.

Congrats! You're gorgeous (except the stache) lol. Anyway, I have no experience with what i am about to say, but I heard that in some cases insurance will pay for skin removal if it is causing you discomfort. If you have rashes from it or if it is rubbing together or making it hard to walk, bc it is located between your…

It may be envy. When I am heavy, people don't say a word with their mouths, but I see the look on their faces (friends) when they look me up and down. However, when I am losing weight the women will say, "you're getting too thin" - even when my BMI still says I'm overweight, etc. I don't know what the deal is, but you're…

Do you know WHY you are binging? Is it to feel better? Are you depressed or bored? Or does the thought of food sound better than it actually tastes so you keep eating it in hopes for that "satisfaction?" Ask yourself each time WHY you are WANTING the foods and then you'll have your answer. You can then assess what to do in…

When I crave ice cream, I make a smoothie out of a variety of frozen fruits and then add some vanilla protein powder. Afterward, you won't still crave the ice cream.

I am confused. Who said you can only have 24 g of sugar a day? Are you doing Atkins? Or did a doctor tell you to do this? If not, you should limit refined sugar but your natural sugar (fruits & veggies) can be up to 100g. I think refined sugar should be 24 g or less. Bread and crackers should be counted as a refined sugar…

Bump. Looking forward to reading this (I think). Am afraid of the personal attacks which get thrown in when someone doesn't "agree" with an eating plan.

Dang, I definitely won't be doing Insanity. I don't need the 42DD going to a tripple.

Whew, well at least I know I am safe since you just described me.

I've been thin and I've been fat. I am fat. So what would I like to do AGAIN? So many things I don't even know where to start. What scares me is fear that I will never do them again. :(

Coconut oil is a good replacement for butter with cooking. Other than that, I use real butter. It isn't even that fattening. Coconut oil has a million health benefits, it even speeds metabolism and burns fat ,etc, etc, etc.

So not true. Margarine was originally used to fatten turkeys. If you put margarine on a window sill, bugs will not touch it. That is because it isn't food. Just go eat some plastic if that is what you're into. I prefer REAL food. It IS TERRIBLE in ANY AMOUNT.

As silly as this sounds, it is true, same concept. An ex co-worker used to do this with her stomach and saran wrap before she went to the beach. She would take measurements of before and after and it was legit. We'd measure her at work.

Just read this and want to add, that I have done a variation of this with a rain suit I bought at Walmart. The lining is silver and you're to put lycra over it and then stay active for 45 min - an hr. When you take it off, wipe the sweat off so it doesn't seep back into the open poors. You're to lose inches with…

That would be awesome to have vibrating pants. I'd workout all the time then. Talk about motivation. Teehee!
