Drink plenty of water...it will freshen up your complexion and help with any bloating. Pluck your eyebrows if you haven't recently...leave the leg shaving until the day of...but eyebrows should always be the day before incase of redness. Take a bubblebath or something with a book or magazine you like to just relax and pamper yourself, then give yourself a pedicure =) Have an amazing timeee! ♥

The Lounge	I got dissed by a three year old...	Jan 26 2009 02:20 (UTC)	19
Yes! A 5 year old patted my tummy and told me that I had a baby in it. !!!!! I feel your pain! Haha
Weight Loss	Awesome Calculator	Jan 09 2009 22:03 (UTC)	6
Hmmm.... well it said i should maintain my weight at 1350 cals.. I am 5'8 and 130lbs..i work out 3 times a week. I would lose weight like crazy if i did that!
The Lounge	Does getting a tan make a person look skinnier?	Nov 15 2008 22:09 (UTC)	9
I tan a BIT, i'm talking once every two weeks for 12 minutes...and yes it's bad for my skin, but to be honest if lifts my spirits, and gives me confidence in shorts, tank tops, a swimsuit, etc that i otherwise did not have....yes that might sound bizarre but it just does. To be honest, the few stretch marks that I have became actually a bit MORE noticable when i started tanning. Hope that helped a bit!
Motivation	Not beautiful enough for my husband	Jun 15 2008 21:57 (UTC)	47
You ARE beautiful. Pretty and thin do NOT mean the same thing. I think you should confront him about it. Nobody should be treated that way by ANYONE, especially their spouse.
The Lounge	Say something GOOD about yourself!	Jun 14 2008 23:25 (UTC)	14
I have a pretty round booty for a "skinny white girl" I have the kind of legs that DONT look like they are about to snap, they are strong. I have large facial features (eyes, lips, teeth) and I love that! Wow, this is so much better than focusing on the bad. Good job whoever thought of this!
The Lounge	Coolest name you've ever heard?	Jun 14 2008 23:14 (UTC)	109
When I have my baby, if its a girl, her name will be Indy. And Dallas if its a boy. Nothing TOO weird, or un-pronouncable.
Weight Loss	Tonight I will face a restaurant...	Jun 07 2008 19:42 (UTC)	7
Thats true, and that's a good idea. I eat out enough though that i can't always have an "i'll just treat myself" mentality. I used to always do that, which is why im doing the opposite of losing weight.
The Lounge	Real World: Hollywood... thoughts?	Jun 05 2008 13:30 (UTC)	32
No, I kinda do think he got what he deserved....he was a jerk to everyone, and I completley understand why they were happy to see him leave.
Health & Support	Those pesky 'eating disorder' thoughts	Jun 03 2008 13:42 (UTC)	4
I know EXACTLY what you mean by that you are jealous of those people who don't think twice. The people who will sit down and watch a movie and RELAX when they get home from work, when their body does need rest, rather than go to the gym. The people who can pick up a muffin from starbucks now and then with their coffee without looking up its nutritional info. People who can have a popcorn at the movies without a horrible day of guilt. ....and do all of these things and STILL BE SLIM, because they are living in moderation, but also really living their lives! Sighh I used to be one of those people, but I don't think i ever will be again
Weight Loss	alternating the amount of calories you eat (aka zig zagging)	May 24 2008 22:51 (UTC)	1
If you go to www.freedieting.com, and click "Daily Calorie Needs" it tells you how much you need to maintain, lose, and gain, AND zig-zags it for you.
Foods	Post work-out food for a starving vegetarian	May 14 2008 13:37 (UTC)	5
I dont know if they have this in Dubai, but after my workouts I always have the ready-to-drink carnation instant breakfast, the kind in the carton thats alreadyliquid. They are 150cals if you get the sugar free and 300 if you get the regular, but pack about 12 grams of protein, 35% of your daily calcium and 20% of your daily iron, plus are yummy! CHocolate is my favorite one.
Weight Gain	ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh	May 06 2008 23:38 (UTC)	3
Um, it is just food. No offence, dieting or not, you should NEVER be "scared" of any food. Food should not be connected with emotions , or it could lead to serious problems. I'm not trying to sound harsh, I used to freak out like that too. Just relax, go for a walk after you eat it, and stop thinking about it so much. Balance is key, and being afraid of lasagna is certainly not balanced, nor normal.
Health & Support	why do i keep doing this to myself?? advice	May 05 2008 01:35 (UTC)	6
I wish I knew I have so so so many nights were i ALWAYS say this is the LAST TIME , tomorrow i will start fresh. ...i know how you feel.
Weight Loss	Is it true?	Apr 26 2008 15:38 (UTC)
no, excess energy, whatever form it may be, can be stored as fat.

Next time attatch a post-it with your name. That says "please don't eat" I have to do this in my own home.
Foods	What is a snack that is 100-200 cals but keeps you really full?	Apr 19 2008 17:04 (UTC)	18
A protein bar? An apple with a tbsp of peanut butter? Eggs....cottage cheese? Yogurt. Oatmeal. A big glass of milk? Something high fibre or high protein. Or a healthy fat. Those things keep me fullest longest.
Health & Support	I just need some direction and honesty.	Apr 15 2008 02:26 (UTC)	5
I think that part of the problem is... i dont know how to not diet. And i'm scared that if i dont, i will simply continue to gain....?
Health & Support	I just need some direction and honesty.	Apr 15 2008 01:33 (UTC)	7
I am really starting to re-consider. Maybe I should just maintain.
Health & Support	I just need some direction and honesty.	Apr 15 2008 01:15 (UTC)	10
I'm 18 years old. I dont even know what my healthy weight should be! No, the highest was 138 and I stabilized at around 135. My mother doesnt know, but I dont think she would care if it was just 5 pounds. She would fear it getting out of hand. But I would maintain at 130, not try and keep losing.
Health & Support	I just need some direction and honesty.	Apr 15 2008 01:14 (UTC)	11
Youre right. I bet I wouldnt notice the 5 pound loss.....I think its just an issue of numbers. I actually weight train 4-5 days a week already! I think that may be a little part of the 15 lb gain, since I started a new fitness program in feb.

I dont have advice, and im sorry for that. But I wanted to say, that what you just described is EXACTLY like me. You are NOT alone on that one
Weight Loss	Okay People!	Apr 10 2008 13:35 (UTC)	3
Right now I am in this class called sports performance 5 days a week. The class is 80 minutes. first we run bleachers for about 10 minutes. Then there is a warmup with ladders and med balls. Then there is usually a 20-25 minute circuit or just weight training, we have "cardio" or "yoga" day once a week. Then a cool down. I'd say its moderate.
Weight Loss	Okay People!	Apr 10 2008 01:57 (UTC)	5
thank you very much! that helps a lot! Okay, so say that i want to lose 5 pounds and be 133, how long will that take eating the 1800 you suggest? im sorry i ask so many questions, but you have answers! :P Thanks!
Weight Loss	Okay People!	Apr 10 2008 01:19 (UTC)	7

Weight Loss	Okay People!	Apr 10 2008 01:11 (UTC)	8
No, I set it at light activity. On most days when i've added my activity the burn meter says 2200 ish.
Weight Loss	Okay People!	Apr 10 2008 00:36 (UTC)	11
