I made up this workout, so it might not be that good, but I use a pair of three pound weights and dance around like crazy to fall out boy songs. It's super fun! I estimate six calories a minute. I just added together the calories per minute of strength training (2 cals) and general dancing (4 cals). It seems like a lot to…

This. You are seriously gorgeous! Don't even THINK about being ashamed! You would be beautiful at any weight! :-)

Quest Blanco cheese with grapes is incredibly delicious! I am in love with the garden fresh veggie sticks. Not to mention Turkey burgers, for some reason! P.S, during TOM I'm constantly craving Mac n cheese for some reason!

No. Just no. Unfortunately for me I hate vegetables. Sometimes I feel childish because of this.

I never eat dessert so I can't really relate... But it seems like you just need to get out of the mindset of 'I must eat dessert because reasons.' Get into the habit of doing something else after dinner... to replace the old habit.

I think it is because when popped it takes up more space then the tiny kernel, so your eating less kernels per cup. Did I get this right? Seems like the theory that makes the most sense.

It's not at the top of my list. It's very low actually. I don't expect or even strive for perfection. I just want to live healthy and I can do this without worrying about what's organic and not organic. I don't have hundreds of dollars to waste, either. That plays a big part.

Actually I'm about twelve pounds from my goal weight... I just change it whenever I complete my little 'on the way there' goals. But I get your point.

I have one goal: Walking-110 miles Last month I did 99.1 according to my accupedo pedometer. This was in about three weeks, so I'm sure I'll knock this out of the water. At the end out this month I'll add together my walked miles and update my status with the approximate number. The month after that I'll add a few more…

No, I never liked pictures. I hated then more after I got fat.

I don't look very good with muscles... like I said, if they're little I won't mind. It's better than fat or bones.

If they're not too big I won't mind.

Well I don't want visible muscles (although if they are poking out Your snark monster sentence cracked me up. I appreciate the support.

Well I don't want visible muscles (although if they are poking out a little I won't mind) but I guess that would be a bit of an exaggeration. In case you are wondering, I don't look good with muscles so therefore I don't desire them. I just want to look toned.

I am pretty new at this. I usually have more common sense and assume correctly. I'm only human. I didn't know I wasn't allowed to make mistakes or be a bit ignorant once in a while. No need to be sarcastic.

Great ideas! I've been looking to try yoga. :-)

Thanks everybody! I will try your suggestions! As you can tell, I really didn't know what I was doing (or, more accurately, what I was thinking about doing.) I never tried to lose weight or get toned before this.

Oh, thanks! I was getting a bit worried there. I am not the type to look good when bulky!

You don't log? I was wondering if I would be able to do that without being a body builder because that is probably the only way I won't gain weight back. 87 days in and I still eat when I'm bored. But then again, I eat a small breakfast and sometimes a small lunch if I'm not too hungry, so I'm open for a big dinner and a…

My aha moment? When I found a tape measure lying around (and just my luck, one for measuring body circumference, too!) And I wanted to just mess around with it. Just for laughs. I don't remember what it said, but I knew it wasn't healthy. It took a while after that to find MFP but ever since that day I've been self…

That sounds awesome. Why can't I have those?!

One day won't make you gain weight unless you eat 3500 cals over maintenance. And popcorn is actually not a bad snack. One milkshake won't kill you.

Thank you! Okay, this is getting repetitive. This thank you is for every other post, okay?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Update, please? My birthday is November 19, and I hope it's possible to lose that 16 pounds I still have to lose. Currently I have lost 15.8 pounds, my overall goal was to lose 32. I am petite (5'1") so my goal is 100 pounds.

Amazing! You look 26!!!!

A reduced sugar granola bar and a California mandarins. Because I eat a very light breakfast and bigger lunches/dinners.
