not that i have anything intelligent to add this but i'm OBSESSED with the new fage yogurt commercials. http://www.youtube.com/user/FAGEUSA?v=cSo3HbkmiQU&feature=pyv&ad=6202991930&kw=fage%20yogurt&gclid=CIeppeOIyqcCFZFoKgodU27dFQ

no but i lived in stockholm for a year. does that count for anything? :flowerforyou:

really the only healthy thing are their menu that i know of is their naked wings. you order your usual sauce minus all of the breading.

anything from starbucks. i swear i am single-handedly keeping the starbucks stocks strong.

i grew up in lake forest but i'm in school in ohio now

omg... there were two people on that last at one 130 and mariah carey who's 140... omg...

1200 is not a strict number as starvation mode is at a different caloric level for each person. a shorter or more active person will have a lower caloric count for starvation mode than a taller or less active person. the best way to see if your daily calories is working for you is monitoring your weight loss. stalled…

common misconception: its incredible difficult for a woman to "bulk up". not enough testosterone in your diet. unless you are spending hours at the gym lifting very heavy weights, you probably won't get much more than toned. as long as you account for the calories, the protein shake won't make you gain weight. a post…

new fat definitely comes off faster than the old stuff. for example, if the first twenty pounds you put on went straight to your gut and the next went to your butt, your butt will shrink before your stomach does. how easily it comes off depends on the life style that led to you gaining those pounds compared to your current…

my biggest qualm about people having cheat days is how quickly can you get back on track? when i first started, i would have a cheat meal, which would turn into a cheat day, which would turn into a week, etc. if you are confident that a cheat doesn't derail you completely, then go for it.

a general multivitamin is definitely something i would recommend. as for the brand, most will do, depending on what you want. something like centrum works fine. asking a pharmacist can help you with this. if you've gotten any blood work done recently, that can tell you what nutrients you are most deficient in.

too little sodium can definitely be a problem. it an electrolyte and its needed in our bodies for ion balance and is used by every cell in our body for every physiological process. the minimum amount a person should have in their diet varies so i would talk to a doctor about the exact amount. 1000 should definitely be ok.…

i still think uggs are the most large scale practical joke of all time. i can just see an Australian's reaction to someone wearing them: (pointing and laughing) those stupid americans! we could tell them overalls are a fashion statement and they'd probably believe us!

thank you all for your information!

try eating foods that are higher in calories ex. cheese, nuts, avocados, peanut butter, etc.

gah!!! not the asian chicken salad from applebee's! i love that thing, i always get the half size with the grilled chicken though. that's safe...right?

hi all i haven't checked the board for about a week now since i've been on vacation. i go back to school in a little less than a month and i'd really like to be at about 135 by then. back to kicking butt i go!

water- check 40 min exercise- check 5 servings of the greenie stuff- check doing well so far :)

definitely need to stay on track this week since i'm going to the beach next thurs! gonna hit the gym extra hard!

still coming in at 140. but its not a gain so i'm happy. i'm hoping for half a pound a week so we'll see where i come in next week.

doing good on the water. workout to follow for tonight. fingers crossed for tomorrow!

rough weekend. my family moved to another house so there little in the fridge and no cookware. got stuck eating out a lot. working on my weight cups though!!!

do it again. the best way to combat sore muscles is to work them again.

fda recommendation is 2500 mg or less ** edit: that's 2500 mg each day

i'm in for this!!! SW: 140 GW: 130

it depends on what you define as fat.

i have about 15 pounds to lose too and its a b**** i eat 1200 calories as well but i also eat exercise calories on top of that. what i have found is that eating more is what i need to lose the weight, not less, although you will have to see what works for you. incorporate strength training into your workout for toning.…

what are you taking specifically? if i remember correctly, lithium carbonate increases appetite, not decreasing metabolism so just stay within your calories and focus on foods high in protein and fiber.

I'm definitely down for this. I'm in the low 140's now (142-143) so my goal is to get myself into the 130's.

its the only FDA approved weight-loss supplement but you should still treat it as any other weight-loss pill. Easy come= easy go. and yes, the way it works is that if the fat content of a meal is too high, it will not absorb the excess fat. terrible side effects (oily discharge, very runny stool, etc) even if it doesn't…
