I'm within 5lbs of my goal, and I think I set it initially to see how difficult it would be to lose 20 lbs and then go lower from there. But I've had pretty good success (down 16lbs in 3 months!), and when I look at myself in the mirror I like what I see, and in general I like how I feel, and I'm eating well and enjoying…

I recognize the helmet on the second shelf, 2nd from the right, but I juuuuust can't place it.

Oh man, Ghostbusters! It was killing me. Thundercats, HO!! (Thanks) Is that supposed to be a face-hugger in the back left jar? And wtf is in the big one on the shelf?

Thaaaat's more like it! Now we've got... I recognize the sword with the red gem, but I just can't place it! It's killing me!

Thank you! Neverending Story. I was trying to pull that from the cobwebs of my mind.

Good lord... Chucky, Castaway, Captain America, Game of Thrones (twice? what's that other shield?), Fifth Element, Labyrinth, Harry Potter, Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, Rocky, a Christmas story, Inception, Cobra Kai, Creature from the Black Lagoon? The resolution is too low to make out a lot of it... :(

There's also a very dimly-lit Worf in the back, and I think Edgar the Bug from MIB?

Yeah, I think there's another Leia in the back, too.

Ooh, Borg sighting!! And I think I spy Zed (Zardoz)... And General Zod circa 1980! I love hidden pictures, if you couldn't tell. lol

Nailed it, dude! Wowzer.

Hmm, possibly, but then there's the galaxy? My instinct was McGonagall's animagus form, but that's a bit obscure, and not really sci-fi. lol

Why would anyone lie about that? I'm in two Pathfinder campaigns and one 5E right now. lol

Sorry, I'm easily excitable by nerdy things. lol Hi, I'm an aerospace test engineer, 501st recruit, and all-around sci-fi dork. Didn't mean to butt in, can I sit with you guys?

I don't think anyone's mentioned Greedo or Lando yet (not specifically, anyway)... Or K2SO? (I love Alan Tudyk)

Love Frank!

A Thermian and Alexander from Galaxy Quest! Riddick! A Dalek! A TRIBBLE!!! <3 Is that a Cylon back right, behind Mork? And whose cat is that supposed to be next to R2?

Barf from Spaceballs! The three-boobed hooker from Total Recall! Mal and Zoe from Firefly! Some kind of Farengi!

I love mixed nuts, and hummus, but they really surprised me with how the calories really stack up before I'm satisfied with the snack (~150 cal per 1/4 cup of either... and I still want more); same goes for dried fruit (especially if you're trying to limit sugar intake). Popcorn is a good one (~100cal/3cups), just make…

I've never heard of this... You add vinegar to rice to make it stickier, not sugar. Definitely do be careful with the sauces, though. The spicy stuff is mostly mayo (obv), eel sauce is sugar-heavy, and soy sauce - sodium city! But if you do no-sauce or low-sodium soy it's not so bad. Lots of good veggie options, and often…

Stuffed zucchini or squash is a good easy, filling option. Load it up with Morningstar vegan crumbles, peppers, onions, and marinara, and pop it in the oven! Also Zoodles and burrito bowls. I almost always keep seasoned black beans and corn, salsa, avocado, and chopped lettuce prepped in my fridge to throw together for…

Do you mean taking a break from your diet, or just from logging and scrutinizing calories? I'm worried about maintaining, especially since my weight seems to respond very quickly to any deviation from my plan. The SuperBowl overage alone took me two weeks to recover (just following my regular plan)! Cheat days don't seem…

Fosters orphaned baby kangaroos. Wears an adult onesie pajamas with a giant pouch sewed in the front. Rocks it.

Granular Wait... do the vowels in the word have to be in alphabetical order, too? or just the first letter of the word in relation to the one above? Or both??
