Holy smokes! You look awesome, but your legs? Damn, girl! WOW!! NICELY done!

Same boat as her. I have a beautiful wardrobe that I no longer fit into. I know which of my 12s are cut bigger and which are smaller. If I fit into my smaller 12s, it's a good day. I'm determined to get back into my 10s. :)

I know people who are on SSRIs and because they're no longer self-medicating with junk food, are losing weight. I know other people who are on SSRIs and because they're more social, have gained because they're going out. Then there are the people whose moods have improved because they've started exercising. Exercise…

Make sure to stay hydrated? Dehydration can make headaches worse. Depending on the type of headache, sometimes caffeine can make them better, sometimes it makes them a 10-fold worse. Definitely make sure you're getting enough water though. Check your posture? Sometimes, tension headaches that start in the back or shoulder…

Done! :)

Going to try to get at least 3 sets of these in today before I leave. One set down so far. Pushups (against wall) - 10 Standing side leg lifts - 10 each leg Calf raises - 20 Seated twist in chair pose - 2 times each side Shoulder rolls (stretching) - 20 Normally, when I try to get exercise in at work, it's more robust…

For starters, if I don't recognize the number, I answer the phone in Korean or Polish. If it's legit, I'll put them on hold so that I can go get myself from the other room. :) If it's someone calling for a donation (Thanks, Caller ID) I'm usually very nice. They're trying to put food on their table. I politely say "No…

Hi! New to the group. Hopefully, I've got this.. Today's goals, since I'm nursing an injury: 30 pushups (against the wall/counter) 20 dips (edge of chair) Some desk yoga: 3 sets of: Seated twists (Like this, but in a chair) http://mindfulyogini.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/chair-twist.jpg Happy Hips - L ankle over R knee,…

So apparently "Doctor" in Hanzi as well as in Kanji, looks like... a man in a box. I'm convinced that he's holding a screwdriver. CONVINCED. Coincidence? I think not. Second entry down at the website below... 医 http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=worddict&wdrst=0&wdqb=doctor

Having also been to Japan, what we Americans consider a normal portion is usually closer to what the sumo wrestlers eat and yeah, there's a lot more movement. Bicycles were everywhere where I visited. Things like apartments are also smaller, so being "larger" simply doesn't seem to be conducive to their culture. That, and…

I use dried beans and a pressure cooker when I can. Sometimes, I'll sautee small red beans with onion, garic, oregano, and Sazon. I'll either eat the beans alongside of some eggs or I'll throw them in breakfast burritos/tacos. Soups are good. I've heard of people using other beans (not chickpeas) to make hummus. I've used…

The Be fit in 90 channel on Youtube is great!

This morning for breakfast, we put a layer of ground turkey down in a cast iron skillet, then threw in 6 eggs, broccoli, 2 small shredded potatoes, and topped it with some cheese. Baked it for 20 minutes or so. Came to something like 450 cals, 36 grams of protein per each of the 4 servings and however many carbs from the…

What they said. :)

On eggs? Tapatio. If the supermarket doesn't have it, the Dollar Store usually does. The other hot sauce that's good on eggs is made by Baron's and has Scotch Bonnet peppers. It's made in the US Virgin Islands (I think) but I imagine a good Caribbean store might have it. Both sauces are flavorful and hot without the heat…

Batter dipped. Actually, the bread gets dredged in egg and cooked like French toast so that the egg isn't all runny, then the cheese gets added. It might sound gross, but it's pretty good. Sometimes I'll add thin slices of green apple. Others add slices of ham. :)

As an EMT (volunteer, not paid), I have to support the medic here. She went through intensive training and delivers care that in some instances makes the difference between life and death. Yeah, I think she (and her peers) should be making enough as a medic to not have to worry about needing to get 3 other jobs just to…

I work in corporate America and know that I can't show up to my workplace, "off duty" in booty shorts, a crop top, or with my underpants creeping out over the top. A base is a workplace, first and foremost. It's also a gated community, in a manner of speaking. If you are a civilian and can either live or shop on-base, it's…

2 julienned apples lightly candied almonds / walnuts / pecans (1 c. almonds, tsp of oil, tsp of sugar, cook until golden) either goat cheese or bleu cheese sometimes lettuce raspberry vinegar a good quality olive oil. Sometimes I add the lettuce, sometimes I don't. When that fails, Tortilla chips on a plate, salsa, cheddar…

You can absolutely do this. These guys did! 262 lbs lost by THIS guy! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1092179-in-19-months-i-ve-lost-262-pounds-new-me-new-life Ed Davenport: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1103164-3-yrs-312lbs-lost-1yr-from-bodylift-and-maintenance

Apparently some women have no issue with these devices whereas others have horrible experiences. Some women can gain on a generic of one BC pill and lose weight on a different generic for the same brand name pill, even though the active ingredients are the same. This thread might be helpful. At last check, there are 300+…

Same boat, word for word. :)

Hard corn taco shells that have been toasted, and stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese, onion, canned beans (warmed), and salsa. I also add sour cream. Sometimes, I'll throw cooked potatoes in there too. :)

Hey there! It can be done. It's gonna take patience, time, and work. It's not going to be easy, you might have days where you'll want to give up, but you have to stick with it. You can do it. Lots of guys have done it. :) Here's a little inspiration. :)…

Neat! Thanks for posting! :)

I make sure to have a mini bag of Sour Patch kids every day in order to get the USDA recommended amount of sour, sweet, sugar, and green. French fries come from potatoes and potatoes have potassium, which is good for me, so Wendy's occasionally helps me meet my potassium goals. The oil from the deep fryer helps keep my…

Wait. You gained HOW much in HOW many days?? That's, what, almost a pound and a half every 2 days? You would have to have eaten at least an additional 2500 calories every day after you've eaten exercise calories to hit a pound and a half gain in two. I agree with the other person who suggested going to get checked out.…

You, sir, are an inspiration. Nice work! :) Lookin good!

Not after you eat them. :sick:

May I add: Cayenne-maple syrup-lemon detox fast - You'll be so busy being nauseous from having nothing but peppers, citric acid, and tree sap in your belly, you won't have time to even THINK about food. The "It tastes JUST LIKE THE REAL THING diet" - Involves using cauliflower to make pizza, green beans to make french…
