NEVER comb/brush your hair wet! EVER! It will give you bad split ends, when your hair is wet it weakens because your hair is a protein fiber, protein fibers get weaker when when so it break WAY easier.

The only this I know that's bad for your hair is if your brush/comb/run fingers through if your hair is WET. Your hair gets weaker when its wet so it will break easier. So if you do anything to your hair just make sure it's dry first :)

The shred f***ed my ankle, I couldn’t exercise for a whole week! It’s too high impact on joing including knees, arms and ankles. May I suggest an alternative future exercise? Try Turbo Jam-million times funner and it not boring and evil like 30DS,it’s also easier on your whole body/joints and burns WAY more cals for same…

I measure bust at two places, under boobies: right where the boobies end, and above boobies at arm pits. I don't like doing over actual boobs cause my boobs aren't shrinking but back and side fat is! I measuyre waist at two spots: at belly button and at narrowest part. The rest of the measurements I measure till I get the…

my mom gave me a cheap plastic miniture barbie doll, I was 18yrs old.

I was curious one day to see how many cals it burned, and I burned about 70 in 15mins, lolz :P

He is dumb, no offense. It's okay if all you eat one day is a banana, but he doesn't do that consecutive days/weeks in a row or he wouldn't be alive. You go into starvation mode when you eat under 1200 cals/day days/weeks in a row. However if you eat normal most day and eat a single item once in a while you won't go into…

You should go find yourself someone who makes you happy and start a new life without him, don't sacrfice your happiness for someone like that, you deserve someone that you make happy and vice versa. If he truly loved you he would be no other woman! You deserve better!

when he leaves all his clothes and trash scattered around. I literally leave the house perfectly clean before work and by time I am back (he gets home only 2 hrs earlier) there is trash on this table, trash on another, socks here, shoes there, pants here, dirty dishes there, etc... so annoying cause he doesn't pick up…

There is some really special bra out there made for us bustier women, I thinks it's by lulu lemon. Also some women on here who don't have the spending money put on 2 regular sports bras and it seems to help! I wear one a size too small, it's the only bra I have and had since high school, soon I will have to get one of…

This happens when I do Tae-Bo, certain underwear just slip off. I started wearing booty shorts and ones with elastic around the this and waist, these don't slip of anymore :P

Honestly give her something personal, something that reminds you of her, maybe necklace, etc or something absolutely silly, anything that will remind her of you... She will love this because you thought of her when you got it, and its something she can use and carry with her to remind her of you! Also you can do a combo to…

Polar FT60, it's amazing, I love it more than anything, it measures your VO2max which is crucial to knowing acurate calories burned, other HRM usually don't have that option!

That is hilarious!! ahahaha Thanks for sharing!

mine was between 180-200cals according to my FT60 HRM at 180lb and 5'7 tall

I wanted to do anything with flying, I was thinking about being a pilot. Now I am a fashion designer :)

Opposite in my house, my bf throws stuff in trash without bag all the time, sooo annoying. Sometimes I will be taking out the trash and he already throws stuff in trashcan before I even had chance to put a new bag in it.

hahaha soooo true I don't have dishwasher but I have a thing to put it to dry on. Everytime my bf does dishes he only does half because he "runs out of space" to put the dishes, i could fit 4 times of what he does on the dish rack, lol

believe it or not...craigslist... I don't know why I was so stupid to put an add on there but he was the only person who responded that I liked. After talking about a month or so we met in person, I brough my best friend (gay guy) with me to make sure something didn't happen to me. We barely spoke but couldn't stop smiling…

Fantastic job on your progress! You seriously look so much healthier and look way younger :)

Watching your calories and what you eat and exercising will have the same results. It's not any different from any other diet. It's just some people do better with structured plan/program because a lot of people have hard time controlling what they eat and a program usually helps them. But it's not magical, just calorie…

My bf and his dad did it last year, it was very exciting, I am hoping to do it next year. My bf trained only 2 days for it (12 mile run one day and 14 mile another day) and that was it, I don't know how it's humanely possible to run 26 miles with that lil training, his only other exercise was skateboarding :P It's about…

Thanks everyone!

If you can I suggest you get HRM-it will be best investment you will ever make; it's the only way to really tell how much you're trully burning, all the websites including MFP do "guess" work, so it's innacurate in most cases because everyone is different.

Yep totally, MFP used to overestimate mine by about 200-500 per hour of exercise, it used to say I would burn 1000 cals when my HRM said like 550!

My mom used to always say "you would be so pretty if you just lost some weight", she ruined my self esteem with her never ending comments, I stopped talking/seeing to her 3 years ago, I realized I don't that sort of person in my life!

Decaffinated green tea looses most of it's benefits, so you should drink the regular one and add "real" lemon to it, real lemon makes the tea's benefits 12 times stronger, it supercharges the compounds in the tea; experts suggest drinking 3-5 cups a day to really benefit from the tea, it's not recommended to drink more…

I am using Turbo Jam: 5 Rocking Workouts, and it's melting off my fat of all over my body including the back boobs, my love handles have diminished dramatically and all the rolls of fat are getting smaller and smaller. As others said you can't spot reduce, you've to target your whole body so choose a workout that works…

Loggin it all! I am saving all my exercise calories from this week and some of the daily calories. I already have 1200cals saved over. I am eating really clean this week to make sure I get the nutrients I need despite the deficit :P But oh boy I am going to joy every bite of that thanksgiving meal without single bit of…

Would you say Chalean Extrememe is tougher than Turbo Jam? I am hoping to use Chalean Extreme to work up my strength up to Turbo Fire. :)
