I speak portuguese but I'm at work and youtube is blocked.  I can try it from home if I remember and let you know

As to good songs to recommend, I suppose it depends on what type of music/style you are looking for.  Let me know and I'll see what I can come up with for you :-)

yes please check. I like lounge music, or any upbeat, party music :)

I say try Bikram Yoga. It makes you more lean, i tell you when i was taking it the students in that room were in shape! They were long and lean, not at all muscular.

I've got the book but haven't really read through the whole thing.
The MUFA thing has me convinced, but the calorie content of avocados (and other MUFA foods) has got me skeptical...

tell me how it goes though :D

its going good. I am not following it perfectly, like im not eating the recipes from the book all the time, i eat my own but i add a MUFA to every meal and so far so good, i have lost weight and inches around my stomach and the mufas are filling

I was 5'4 and about 118 lbs, but i also smoked and barely ate so i was really skinny then

oh i see thanks! You and me both, I want to lose about 20 lbs. I'm working on it tho, i havent weighed myself in a week cause my scale is broken but i hope it is working!

What is the hip to waist ratio? Just wondering cause I'm also 140 lbs, around there and my measurements are 36", 29.5", 37". What do they say is normal? I did get this book called 'the flat belly' diet which is a specific diet that targets fat around your waist and belly. It basically says to eat one serving of monounsaturated fatty acids in each meal. I think it's worked for me so far, maybe you can look it up. I'm not following the diet perfectly but i try to. By the way you look great!

How many calories is everyone eating? How many times do you exercise? I try to eat 1500 calories a day, 'try to' lol and work out about 4-5 days a week.

I don't think it's the mom's fault. If anything the mom and the dad should spend equal time with the child, regarless of if they work or not. If they work they can spend it with their children after work, and on weekends, just always find the time with them. If, however a parent works TOO much it does affect the child. I know someone that is a single mom and works basically ALL the time and has a young daughter. She leaves her daughter with other ppl all the time and it affects her daughter immensly. Her daughter is 8 now but when she is sick or needs something and her mom is sitting right in front of her she doesn't ask her mom for help, she goes to someone else. She also told me the other day ' I like you cause you always have time for me, my mommy never has time for me', all i was doing was coloring with her. It's really sad, her mom ignores her. She has a dad, they just dont live together and her dad is really upset about the mom being a bitch.

yeah but how much are you paying for those pee pee pads?

As far as cats peeing in one spot only...sorry to say but my cat is a bitch...if you ignore her or don't give what she wants, she will pee on what she sence you love most...and her litter is alway clean.

My dog on the other hand will hold her pee until I get home to let her out...she maybe a big dumb mutt, but when I need protection she will jump into action to help me... so even though I use to perfer cats because I was always told they are low maitance...dogs rule all the way and not matter what shape or size(they will come to your aid as for a cat who will run and hide under the bed) 

I actually don't pay anything for them. My mom gets them for free at her hospital and they are the huge ones so they last longer :)

OH my gosh!! loveddd ittt! read it... twice... you'd want to.. i swear its an amazing book... it just shows impowerment of women.. because really every bad guy wants a good girl... and if he doesn't want you... then you'd know immeditaly and wont waste your time...

okay like i know this one girl who dated this guy for a while and followed the rules of the book and then he kept calling her and calling her...

then she dated someone else [because she didn't like the guy] and decided to get caught up... and he ended up ditching her.. [smh] and all we could do was talk about what would have happened if she tried something from the book... I am sorry it may be self help or whatever.. but that book was absolutly amazing... .. i might read it again

I don't do every single rule in the book. I already snagged my guy but occasionally when he acts like a jerk i go back to my book and do some of the rules, like not calling, ignoring him, etc. and it works and he's calling me like crazy again. But i dont remember every single rule so i just keep it there for when i need it, its great! It's the best if you're dating diff. guys, etc.

Exercising makes your metabolism faster, so you can burn what you eat

I guess we all have the same problem. I've lost quite a lot of weight and used to like being told how much better I looked. Now after six months of being at more or less the same weight, every time eat some people go "Oh you are putting it back on again!"

Actually I'm not, I've just had a light lunch and for some reason my stomach likes to stick out. Anyway I think this is a good question from the OP.

I mean you eat about 500 grams of something and you end up putting 2-5 lbs on. Maybe my maths is all wrong but that does not compute!

I weigh myself all the time but it doesn't get me down because I find it interesting to see how much the weight fluctuates throughout the day. I only record the weight once a week in the morning.

I wonder if the stomach popping out thing will lessen when I finally reach my goal and I am toned up?

I wonder that too. I mean, my mom told me i looked 3  mos preggo after i eat. I was tired of ppl asking me if im pregnant, cause my tummy doesnt match with my body.

I'mr 5'4, weight 140 but want to lose about 20 lbs by April. I already lost about 5 and i've been eating right, driking only water and working out like 2 hrs a day so far...

I read it, i liked it, it was very informative and funny. A 'bitch' isnt literally a bitch, she just means a confident woman that won't let a man take advantage of her.

Thnx, i weighed myself the same time as i did yesterday. I'm, 5'4, 21 yrs old. I want to weigh around 120.
