Who said anything about staining faces? O.O I thought @ShibaEars was staining her fence... Not her face! @peleroja totally stained her face though, if you check out the newest picture in the random picture thread...
I went back to make sure I didn't make a typo, but I definitely said "fence" lol. I don't know what "staining your face" means, or why anyone would want to0 -

I'm neither sick nor depressed. My mom and I think it's mainly because my stomach shrank greatly after losing 80 pounds so I never get hungry. I only drink water. No sodas in well over a year and no Starbucks in almost a year (one year on the 28th!). I don't have diabetes but I don't drink juice because of the sugar level.
If it is not too personal, may I ask what path you took to lose the 80lbs? It is concerning that your intake is so low. Are you maintaining your weight on what you have been taking ing?
I lost weight the right way. No fad diets, pills, etc. because those are just scams and don't work long term (however I did watch my carb intake). No fast food or Starbucks (those aren't even 'food' and have way too many unnecessary calories and ingredients). Just real, whole, unprocessed foods. Three meals a day. Even when I was losing weight I never got hungry but forced myself to eat my 3 meals. I've been maintaining my weight since mid-January.

I'm gonna hopefully see a doctor either tomorrow or Friday because I know eating this little is not healthy. I was eating around 700-800 when I was losing weight (reached my goal weight in January). I think a big reason is I'm scared of eating too much and gaining all of the weight back that I lost. There have been only about 7-10 days in the last 6 months (not in a row) where I have eaten plenty of calories.0 -

700-800 calories per day is not a safe or sustainable way to lose weight. This is eating disorder territory. Please talk to somebody about this.

I woke up last night at 2 am and ate a king size nutrageous. I logged it, but ended up 1,000 calories over yesterday. *kitten* happens and today is a new day. I also used to wear spanx tanx with everthing. My boobs are very happy that I've lost enough weight to feel comfy not wearing them. It's awesome!0

Will my stupid body WAKE UP? Argh. I keep dozing off... all it takes sometimes if for me to blink my eyes and my body goes ''Oh goody, time to sleep?'' I need to start taking my B12 again.
In school, starting around 6th grade, I had trouble with falling asleep in class. I didn't want to and struggled like mad to stay awake. It was embarrassing waking up (sometimes with a jolt) and having people stare at me, especially since I am a sleep talker and wondered if I had said something aloud . Some people try to fall asleep in class and don't care, but I was trying to be a good student
EDIT: Come to think of it, I don't think I've beeen eating much iron lately.0 -

Sounds like you might be anemic, you should probably get a blood test done.0 -

Oh, man, B-complex is such a big help for me. I take the sublingual drops and it is seriously such a game-changer. I don't eat a ton of meat so my doctor recommended it a while back after some bloodwork and I feel like I can pretty much bounce out of bed when I'm taking it regularly.

B12 is one of those vitamins that's very, very difficult to get from non-animal sources, so vegetarians etc. have a tough time with it. I'm not a vegetarian but I just don't tend to choose meat too often so I've had a problem with it. I take iron as prescribed by my doctor too because I also had anemia in my teens (very common for girls, apparently), but taking both is way better for me. You really should talk to your doctor before starting or restarting supplements though...I know it seems overcautious but you can really do some major damage just taking whatever you think you need. Honestly.

I did some reading on prepping for the trekking we're doing in Peru suggesting that climbing stairs is going to be the best conditioning when we can't actually get out to the mountains, so it's my new plan for the next month and a half. You can apparently count each step as a foot elevation gain as a ballpark to gauge your fitness, so in my apartment building I'd have to climb 133 floors to equal about 2000 ft of elevation gain.
I ran the stairwell yesterday but I only managed forty floors of climbing (bottom to top and back down twice, basically) before my left leg started twitching like mad, so I've got a lot of room to improve. But I'm reminding myself that 2000ft of elevation gain on the actual hike is over a few hours and I did those 40 floors in like twenty minutes (and at a sort-of-run), so I'm feeling pretty confident that I can get there.0 -

No thanks! Stairwell for me, I hate the crowds and the random dudes trying to make friends. We live right on it and I almost never go out there, lol.

Lol. I haven't been to them for several years, and I don't remember much of what was going on around me. I do remember that I could barely make it up the stupid things at the time - that was walking! I think I'd do much better now, not that I have any plans to find out lol.0
