"Unwich" rant
I'm not even a real "low carber", I just make a point to eat more meals as salads, tear off most bread from my Subway sandwiches, not eat the croutons/crackers, and basically get rid of the extra calories I would glean from these sources. I'm not against a burger or pizza every once in a while (i.e. I'll eat the whole…

Keep it? Toss it? Storage ideas website
http://www.stilltasty.com/ Just found this site. It had this info on keeping bananas fresh, which I never knew... http://www.stilltasty.com/questions/index/68/page:1 And my old roommate told me that if you store food in the can, you're poisoning yourself. This says otherwise, but that there are just better ways to store…

Bikinis
Mornin' y'all. I intend to be able to wear a bikini with confidence this summer and spend a lot of time on the beach and by the pool :bigsmile: Working hard for it. I am in the market for a 'motivation bikini' to buy so I can get really excited about working hard and looking/feeling great this year. Can any of my curvy…

Angels among us
I read this and thought it might lift some people's spirits. In my own case, I will never forget the time I had had a horrible fight with my (now ex) boyfriend, went to the store to get milk we had forgotten to pick up (crucial to dinner recipe). In my upset, I had left my debit card at the house, got all the way to the…

NSV :p
Last night, boyfriend and I were watching goofy shows on Cartoon Network. They kept having Happy Meal commercials. I mentioned that that sounded really good... started reasoning how I could fit it into my remaining calories for the day, and it actually fit pretty well... the craving was strong! He agreed, but then…

Barbells this time :P
http://www.wayfair.com/US-Weight-55-lb.-Duracast-Weight-Set-F0055-QKQ1000.html?refid=FR49-QKQ1000 I want some that won't rust on me and won't beat up the floor, adjustable, I'm just starting out so I'd probably keep it at 5lbs on either side until I can safely work up. Do you guys think these are decent for a beginner?

Oh, my goodness. Bathing suits in my inbox.
I just got a painful realization when I opened my email and saw Victoria's Secret already advertising bikinis. AUUUGHHHGHGkmlkas. Last year, my goal was "Look good for beach season!" Yeah, that didn't happen. 5 lbs gained and lost for 12 months straight. The weekends were the tankers for me. I tend to drink some on the…

Eat back exercise calories?!!1!
Just kidding :) Lean Cuisine Comfort Classics - Chicken With Lasagna Rollatini, 1 PKG - 290 calories <-- my lunch today. Surprisingly delicious. It's hard to find good TV dinners. Any ones that you like that are not crazy on sugar or calories?

Most disliked part of yourself when trying on clothes
This is spawned from having to try on dresses for the *dun dun dunn* annual Christmas party this Saturday. While the belly is my most overall hated part (oh how I wish spot-training were real!) ...it's easy enough to cover with a long, flowy dress. The 2nd most hated part is my underarm chub. When you're wearing a dress…

Not so slick in heels
I've never had to really wear high heels to any social function, ever. When I do, I get the not-so-high heels. I'm kind of a tomboy. I'd rather wear jeans and a T-shirt with a hoodie than a cute skirt or dress. Well, our work's Christmas Party is this Saturday, and I finally decided to spring for regular high heels. I…

Lighter days?
Hey guys. Happy Monday :P Do you think it's OK to have one or two days a week where you eat significantly less, 600-800 cals? I read an article posted on here that says it takes 72 hours of your body not getting adequate calories to truly go into the dreaded "starvation mode"... I didn't know if it was actually bad for you…

Rethinking cancelling the gym
Okay, so.. I was just about to cancel my gym membership because I have just recently started running and messing around with my free weights/kettlebell at home, and I find that a lot easier than lugging my butt to the gym. However... I realize a LOT of you are getting great results with lifting, and I just don't know if I…

Food, then exercise? Or...
Hey y'all, question ... When I get home from work, I have major snack attacks. Carbs, carbs, carbs, my body says. Well, last night I had a few green olives as a snack and a Miller Genuine Draft 64, 64 cals & 2.4 grams carbs, right before going on my 30 minute walk-jog. Did I just sabotage myself by drinking carbs before I…

Sneaking in exercise
This may sound a little strange, but when you work at a desk job, you have to get exercise in any way you can, right? Sometimes I'll go to the bathroom and if no one is there, I will choose the wider stall and do squats and calf raises. Only problem is, the squats leave my heart beating a little fast and get me the…

Let's do this ;)
Hello there. I am 5'6 and 165lbs. Joined back in April but never applied myself. Now I am determined to do what I need to do and am taking small steps to make sure I don't overdo it and stop, as I have been in the cycle of over the past year. I started 2011 determined to lose 30lbs and look good on the beach.... when that…
