if you want to be accurate wear a HRM for like 2 hours, see how many calories you burn on average-substract the amount you would burn resting (BMR) during those 2 hours and than whatever calories you have left you can eat, but that only counts of you set your level to sedentry!

I bank them all the time, sometimes I save them for the weekend, sometimes I don't and still losing without problems!

Also, since she doesn't like the texture of vegetables you can always make her fruit and veggies blended smoothies!

Story of my life! My mom screwed with me so bad, she used to always say "if you just lost a couple pounds you would be so pretty" or "you've such a pretty face" (implying I was overweight), that made me overeat so much more, not to mention my self-esteem was in shambles by the time I moved out... its one of many the…

I have been in that position as a kid, except my mom didn't care to do research and screwed my self esteem up, now I am working hard to get it back. If it were me I would have loved to take some sort of fun class, maybe dancing/fencing/ice skating/kick-boxing/horse riding, just make sure it's an activity she likes (maybe…

I hate cinnamon and cooked vegetables, ewwwww

I have tried many dating sites, match.com was by far the worst. I also posted an add on craigslist a couple days and all the dates were pretty bad, the last guy I met I cancelled on like 3 times and than my friend told me to just get it over with and meet him, so I dragged my gay best friend with me, the date and I barely…

I lost almost that much the first 10 days too, a lot of is pure water weight. And it's not uncommon for people to lose that much at first, especially if you have a lot to lose. And it will slow down over time, you're fine, I wouldn't worry about it

Will either be 90minutes of intense cardio with Turbo Fire, or 50min Turbo Fire and 40mins Chalene Extreme-weight training!

story of my life... any gift would be great...at least last year he had chocolate covered strawberries and flowers for me, he also spread rose petals up our apartment stairwell that lead to our place, as I was walking up I was thinking that it's sweet that someone did that for their loved one, and boy was I surprised to…

^bump for later! Thanks!

I love my blackberry with all my heart because I love having an actual keyboard. However it turns of every time I drop it, and freezes once in a while. And the screen is tiny and no ideal for web browsing. Also, blackberry is going down the drain, in fact there was news article I read on fox that the latest phones are…

either Turbo Jam or Turbo Fire, I never get bored

I am sure she could kick my a** anyday, I was jsut saying in that specific picture she looked disgusting. There are other pictures where she looks amazing, but that specific one she looks a bit gross...there are women who are super skinny but are fit and look great, and some look like they are about to break, doesn't mean…

Most of the "old" starts you listed are between 5'4-5'8, they look proportionate to their measurements. The second list is woman who are 5'9-5'11, thats the difference.

Keira Knightly looks disgusting...just a lil more meat and she would look better. I understand people are naturally thin, I have sister who is smaller than double 0, and nothing wrong with that. But there is definitely something wrong if you're starving/exercising yourself to the point where you can see more bones than…

Sounds like the best day ever! How awesome!

hahahahhahah OMGG so funny

The trainer who did Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam said people get mostly sore because their form isn't correct-its not an indicator on how well you're doing, so you probably just have really good form and doing lifting properly.

I always have two 16oz bottles with me, I try to drink at least 1 every hour or hour and a half. As soon as they are empty I fill them up. Some days I will drink as much 26 glasses (8oz each), sometimes it's 12, it depends on how busy I am.

ugly a** velvet sweatshirt, it was so missy looking, I dress contemporary and I am designer, I don't know what my bf was thinking :P

You're most welcome! I am no professional, but these are things I have gathered through numerous threads on here, websites and personal experience, it would be wrong not to share especially knowing how difficult it is to get through a plateau. If you instill a couple of these things in your routine you most likely will…

Yep thats pretty much what it means, it made me sad when I looked up how much I wil have to eat, only 300-400cals more than I do now, I guess all you can do is make for it through exercise!

:explode: Totally feel exact same way, especially now because of that recent law and the presidential candidates are horrendous. My bf and I started looking into becoming Canadian citizens, I am going to try to get a working visa and get hired and so is my bf, or he will come on school visa; luckily I am extremely good at…

OMG I think I figured why I retain as much as 11lbs of water, I googled if depo shot can make you retain water and it actually does! I read an article on livestrong.com. I have been on depo for almost 3 years and no longer get my TOM, so it must be the depo shot that's making me retain so much, it's the only think that…

I wish the scale was the case, but I actually own 2 scales and both read the same. I thought my original $10 scale was bad so I bought a super nice one, and it actually read almost the same, my new one always says I am .2 heavier, but otherwise the two scales tell me same weight. I actually don't even get my TOM cause I am…

I feel so much less alone now! I thought I was going crazy when it spiked as much as 11lbs, mine usually varies by 2-6lbs, sometimes 6-8lbs. So crazy to see how much of difference water retention, TOM and backed up pipes can make!

I just set up a product package tech pack for a 5 pocket foiled snake skin jean, basically a pack of information of everything that goes into building a garment, including garments measurements, fabric sheet, sketch, pattern card, bill of materials info, button&trim cards, and reference images. I love my job :)

I forgot to mention subway, almost every day during work week for lunch, yumm

Beachbody, I own like 8 of their workouts Amazon Zion Market Springfield Bread Brand Miracle Whip I can't believe it's not butter Kroger
