best and worst bikini bodies

  • Jul. 21st, 2008 at 11:39 AM
 
Star Magazine's annual best and worst beach bodies... of course Britney Spears always hits their list as one of the
best bodies on the beach... even today!! Seriously, they just love her and don't care that she has gained 20lbs and
really needs to cut down on the fast food and get to Bally's 7 days a week. Anyway, done with my rant... check out
the beach bodies...

No results with Lida

  • Jul. 20th, 2008 at 12:55 PM
Hey everyone, I'm cross posting this here because the Lida community is kind of dead:

Anyone else have no results after a week? Maybe I got fake ones? I bought them off of Amazon, from a seller that was linked in another community. It wasn't from the Suncoast Spa seller but from another one that people said they got legit pills from. I'm a week in and I don't have any of the side effects either (no dry mouth, no eye irritation... not that I wanted these!)

I don't know if I should give them another week to see what happens or if I should abandon them and move onto something else. Granted, I think most people have been exercising while on Lida so that probably helped a lot...

Pills that I've tried and liked
Xenadrine (the original one)
Black Ice (discontinued, sadly)

Pills that I've tried and did nothing for me
Phentermine
Yellow Bullet
Stimerex (in the bottle)
some Xtreme ECA stack (similar to Yellow Bullet)


I might try the Stimerex that comes in the blister packets since I've heard a few people say good things about them.

Birthday cupcakes!

  • Jul. 19th, 2008 at 11:33 PM
In addition to my job as "maker of the wedding cakes," during my recent trip I added on the task of baking some cupcakes for my nephew's 10th birthday which had passed a few days before.

I had some cute little star-shaped marshmallows an an idea I'd wanted to use for a child's birthday, so full steam ahead I went!

desperation

  • Jul. 19th, 2008 at 1:25 PM
 Ok so I've gained ten of the 24 pounds I originally lost from Lida back.. I took two today and it's barely working.. not sure if its even working because I could prob eat right now but my appetite isn't ravishing.. I need to go out of state in two weekends and I'm having serious anxiety about it.. I need to lose before I go back.. at least 10 pounds..which is a hard goal but it's reachable.. I hate going back and seeing my old friends and feeling inadequate.. it's also a keg pool party and I need to wear a bikini.. oh geez.. I'm a go to the gym now.. enough ranting and raving..have a good day today everyone and think skinny! : )

YAY im back... finally with more cupcakes LOL

lida side effects?

  • Jul. 18th, 2008 at 8:25 AM
Anyone else have trouble sleeping from Lida? I ask because I just started taking it three days ago and yesterday I slept about six hours total and last night was.. three? four?
Both nights I took a sleeping pill (Lunesta 2mg) as well. This was a pill that was helping wonderfully for a week or so before I started Lida.

If anyone else on it had trouble sleeping, was this a side effect that went away or not?

In any case, I'm going to give this pill 7-10 days trial.
I will stop taking them if
a) I've lost nothing. Right now I fluctuate between 106-108 so I'd say in 7-10 days a clearly significant weight loss would be 102 or 103.
b) I'm unable to sleep
c) I start breaking out badly

so I'm being cautious with taking these pills. That said, I've DEFINITELY noticed the appetite suppression and increased energy :)
Well, I slept 3-6:30am and then I think from 7:30 to 8 and I'm pretty awake now. ugh. That's not enough sleep and I KNOW not sleeping enough is not good for weight loss. However, no point in tossing and turning until noon; I may as well get up and go to the gym..

But please let me know about the sleeplessness thing...I can't believe how little sleep I've gotten and even ON sleeping pills! And I'm not drinking any caffeine in the day.

I'm meeting up with friends from uni tonight for dinner as we hardly ever get to see each other during the holidays. Obviously this gave me a good enough reason to make cakes for them!!

Sushi cupcakes?

  • Jul. 18th, 2008 at 7:03 AM
Hi everyone :) Next Friday is my last day of work at a Japanese restaurant.. and naturally, I wanted to bring cupcakes for everyone. What could be better than those adorable sushi cupcakes I've seen around?! Does anyone who's done this have recommendations for flavor/materials? I want it to be cute but I want all the ingredients to taste good together too.. thanks in advance! :)

I have a couple questions and need your cupcake wisdom!


1. If I dropped a big marshmallow into each cup of cupcake batter and then baked them, how would the marshmallows react? Would they get all delicious, or would they plastify like marshmallows tend to do when you overheat them?

I realize if I want marshmallow-filled cupcakes, I can always pipe marshmallow fluff into the centers, but I'm not really planning on making cupcakes like these. I'm just curious about how this specific method would react.


2. I want to make cupcakes with Pixi Stix poured all over the tops. Will the Pixi Stix stay powdery, or will they absorb the moisture from the icing and turn all melty and runny and colorful? If the second is the case, what other ways could I go about trying to achieve Pixi Stix cupcakes?
