How important is your body image?

Rebgirl, that calorie count is too low. You may lose some weight at first, but you'll hit a plateau. Then you'll gain it back. Your body is going to think you're starving it, which means it's going to start hanging on to every calorie you put in it, instead of using them for fuel. You'll also lose muscle instead of fat. Try not to drop under the 1200 calorie mark when you diet. And lift weights. It's the fastest, most effective way of reshaping your body. A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat, even at rest. Putting on more lean muscle mass will raise your resting metabolic rate.

Now go eat something high in protein.

Rebgirl! I'm so glad to see you back online, hun! Glad you're back amongst us. I missed you in recent months and wondered about you several times (was worried you might have been sick). Hope all is well with you, my friend.

Stinky....listen very closely....the guy you have the hots for is not for you....you need to wait....FOR ME!!!!! I am your soulmate in the big fondue pot of life! I want to dip my apples in your hot cheese....(OK, that was bad. LOL).
Man, it's been years since I did fondue. Ex wife hated it. I managed to drag her to a place that did fondue a few times before we got married but....well, I'd have preffered if she had given up oral sex after marriage!!! LOL

Glad to see you back on your feet.

OMG that is like the funniest euphamism I have EVER heard. I just totally cracked up!!!
Actually I like apple/cheese fondue WAAAAY more than bread/cheese... and I also think that bread/chocolate is better than strawberry/chocolate. Does that make me a freak? Oh and I love raw veggie/bagna cauda (anchovy, olive oil, raw garlic) but I don't think it would be good on a date, lol!

Hi Stinky- It was great fun chowing down at the massive buffet with you!!! I wasn't even hungry for most of the following 24 hours...that place was a find!
oh yes, small pieces of pound cake dipped in chocolate
Now I know what to have for desert when you guys come by for the flower show.I just wish you lived closer to me! You are a very cool chick to hang out with:hippy:
