Tazo's Sweet Cinnamon Spice tea is my current go to when I want something sweet after a meal.

My local Safeway has 100 calorie snacks already pre-packed (I.e. Oreos, crackers, etc.). Try asking at the grocery store?

5'6 and 163 here. I'm trying to lose at least 20. Would love to have everyone here as a friend.

Last week, I canceled my gym membership because I hadn't been there for a few months, despite loving the place. The trainers remembered me and thought it made perfect sense to try at home workouts until my work situation allowed me to get back to the gym again. I find looking at fit people exercising motivates me, so I'm…

Every day, first thing in the morning to be consistent. I use a wifi scale that uploads my data to MFP. I'm not bothered by daily fluctuations as long as the monthly trend is downwards.

Try asking at the grocery store. My Safeway has a section of snacks packed in bags that are exactly 100 calories.

Growing up, we had five in the family and ate rice every day. Our rice cooker made up to eight cups of rice, though we usually made five cups at a time. We ate a ton of rice though, so I'd recommend going with something smaller than what we had unless you, too, buy rice by the 25 or 50 lb bags ;)

I've been to church functions where everyone is dirty dancing! Would you date someone 20 years older than you?

A confident villain.

Personality definitely trumps body. I had some incredibly ripped boyfriends in college, but couldn't put up with some of their personality flaws. Humor, intelligence, warmth, and courteousness, plus a great body? You won't have a shortage of women coming after you.

Not all rice are born equal. If you buy jasmine rice, you won't need to add anything to it to make it taste good. It has a pleasant aroma and slightly sweet taste. Same goes for sticky rice (but that is harder to prep). I stay away from prepackaged rice in boxes, small bags, etc., since it just doesn't tast right to me,…

I'm waiting for the Apple watch as well. I used to use a PhillipsDirectLife (discontinued) tracker which I really liked b/c it was waterproof and you could slip it anywhere. I was given a Fitbit one and a flex. Found them both terrible in comparison to the DirectLife. Was told I logged 50,000 steps one day when I went on…

Depends if they were poor and/or subsistence fishing, gaming, etc. I'd probably help them get a legit permit. Would you hug a random stranger holding up a sign in a very public space asking for a hug?

I love those dried seaweed squares. Thankfully, they're low in calories.

Dragon fruit. It looks cool and is supposedly good for you... But bleh. It tastes like mushy cardboard.

5'6" CW 163 lbs GW 130 lbs I felt and looked great then, with a lot of muscle tone. I would love to get there again.

Love that windswept hair.

Add me? I don't bite!

A villain posing as a superhero?

Hi, everyone! I have never lived in San Diego, but I'm also in the DC area, and have been here for almost nine years as well! My little one (#2) is 16 months now, and sadly enough, I still haven't lost the baby weight, from either child! I hadn't heard of Bikini Body Mommy before, but I'm open to trying it out. And…

I'll try it :)
