My guess would be that's where you sweat more/ are extra sensitive to sweat. but mostly, that's weird. now I wanna see it.

Bothell!

BEST. RESPONSE. EVER.

Ooh pretty! I love your shape! I can't wait to see what I look like at your weight. How tall are you? I'm 5'5 or so. My goal weight is around 170 or so, since I'm focusing pretty hard on muscle building as well as fat loss.

so much water! seriously, tons of water will help keep you from snacking all your hard work away.

pickle juice? seriously? I might go with the banana then...

Hero 196th...weird.

he is the best guy! that is so sweet.

I work with autistic kids! unpredictable work. some days i sit on my *kitten* and watch Pocahontas, some days I clean up poop, some days i get a head injury. but hey-at least it's not retail.

Exercising with your HR too high can have some ill effects. Overloading your heart, especially when starting out exercising, can be dangerous. If you get naseous, dizzy, see black spots, lose hearing or anything like that, you are working too hard. Short of just the overload on your cardiac system, exercising that hard…

dear coworker, I realize we have it tough. we have a pretty good chance of getting beat up every shift we work, and our company sucks(we work with autistic kids). but really, showing up 15 minutes late for your shift? without calling? or apologizing once you got there? You know that I'm legally bound to stay behind and…

thanks everybody! it's funny a coworker tonight heard me say i was on a diet and he said, "why? you're beautiful! who said who have to lose weight?"-he's from Cameroon and a really sweet guy. I told him there was nobody making me lose weight, i just wanted to. I agreed with him that I am beautiful, but added that i wanted…

yeah! i had a bunch of calories left last night and treated myself to a triple steak stack from taco bell- 690 kcal! holy crap!

oh my goodness gracious yes. I have been getting so discouraged these last few weeks-my boyfriend is steadily and quickly losing weight, while I have gained and lost the same five pounds for the last two or three months! It drives me crazy and makes me feel like all my hard work is worthless. I'm not going way over on my…

to check if you've removed most or all of the alcohol, try lighting it on fire after it's cooked. if it comes to a boil, it's definitely alcohol-free at the point. alcohol is 7 kcal per gram, so...that would decrease the calorie count but i'm not sure by how much. bonus!

i don;t think i've seen this mentioned so i'll add...I lift my feet up off the footrests for a minute or so every five minutes. prevents numbness and boredom too!

diet coke and malibu- sweet, tasty and won't get you trashed unless you drink like ten.

Goes for Washington too...actually, a bunch of of these places - Sequim, Puyallup , Clatskanie, Issaquah , Oregon , Umpqua, Yakima and Willamette-are actually in Washington.

tequila, lemon, splenda and seltzer?

your stomach grumbles as the muscle sheets surrounding it contract and relax to mix the food and stomach acid around. this is where the sound comes from. so your stomach 'grumbles' as it's digesting, not so much to tell you you're hungry.

we've spent lots of time in the same singing groups and in the same shows-we sing together! not just the same song, but our own parts. we try to do this only in the car alone.

when you jog, every time a foot lands there is three times your body weight landing on each joint-ankle, knee and hip. That's why I use the elliptical.

for here (Seattle) it's really important to have some sort of layer over your mouth and nose as the cold air in your lungs make running HURT unless it's warmed somehow. also-good tread on your shoes and if you wear glasses, wear contacts if you can. having the layer over your face makes the glasses fog up and it's hard to…

SERIOUSLY? Do you know how much it takes for me to even get my butt of the couch and do that? I'm not a bodybuilder. All I'm worried about is just burning some calories, and i honestly don't care how I do it. Honestly, you're exactly who I was talking about. Please, never ever tell anyone that what they're doing is…

I actually managed to not take it personally. And just to humor her, I found the only resistance I could and put it on my chest as I did sit-ups..and she sat on her butt. I may have looked silly with a pumpkin on my chest, but I was burning calories!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm a nursing student and i'm surrounded by people whose life ambition is basically to know better and tell others what to do. I have so much insecurity connected to my weight that somehow any discussion about fitness and nutrition becomes connected to my self-worth somehow, and i just…

wow! 40 seconds and a bunch of people who want to support! I love this site, and you guys!

I did 1300 kcals for the first two months or so and killed my metabolism. Are you feeling tired? not seeing much weight loss? raise 'em to 1500 or even 1800 and see how much better you feel! be patient and do it permanently and healthy!

thanks! yeah i hate it when my appetite dies, so when i'm hungry, I eat!

and she(babyblake) totally wins! nutrition/10 calories/10 yumminess/10! but have you considered counting sugar? can be important, especially if you gave birth recently. i have diabetes in my family line so sometimes i try to keep mine low. but as today shows, sometimes i don't try very hard.
