Cute tagline on your profile :-)

In the beginning, I wasn't keeping the "mission" secret per se, but I didn't really volunteer any info simply because many people are well-meaning but say the most idiotic or demotivational things. Sure, rationally I know to just ignore them, but that can be difficult in the moment, so why open myself up to it? Now, much…

I like how much sassier you seem in the "after" pics. Congrats!

My diary isn't open because I don't track calories or macros anymore--just eat intuitively and listen to my body. But I do log on daily, unless I forget.

I would imagine men like them because they fantasize about pulling on them...

Looks like everyone has said everything worth saying, but don't forget this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/SuperCork/view/if-you-like-poo-469445

Awesome story! I can't wait to get back in the gym and see where my deadlifts are: previously, DL'd 5lbs under my body weight, but that was about 20lbs ago. Can't relate about comparing myself to other gymgoers because don't see many females DLing (plus, I'm fairly tall, so hard to compare myself to short chicks and…

I don't usually feel hungry when I'm ready for bed, but I do try to have my last meal several hours before I start winding down. I'm not naturally a breakfast person, but I feel like a nice big breakfast helps me have a better day, so an early dinner is key for me. Also, I personally find that if I snack too close to…

You might find that if you take a break from calorie restriction and just focus on some serious strength training with moderate cardio thrown in that your body will get smaller even if the scale doesn't move. In the last 6 months, I've probably lost barely 10lbs BUT I'm much smaller than I was (maybe 2 dress sizes). I…

I'm really sorry this happened to you. More proof that just because someone is "qualified" to do a job, it still might not be the correct position for them. She's an ignorant b*tch: please don't let this deter you! In my experience, baby steps are the way to make lasting change! Shame on her!

It's a bit early to really get on board with anyone, but I'm liking Detox so far. Until/unless Alaska does something ridiculous, I'll ride-or-die with her because I was (am) IN LOVE w Sharon Needles!!!!!!

I'm not a huge fan of Alexis' drag (I think she's very put-together, of course, but just not my cup of tea), but I LOVE her personality, even "BAM!"

Are you sure it's really them staring at you and not them returning YOUR stare because if you're not staring, how do you know they are? :tongue:

Though I weigh myself here and there, most of my goals are fitness-related: --to become a proficient swimmer because I live on an island and have not gone swimming or even to the beach in about four years. --to be able to perform unassisted pullups/chinups (not even close on this one) --to be able to perform at least ONE…

I'm currently single, but I was too embarrassed to exercise at home when I did live with someone. It wasn't because I thought he'd ridicule me (I knew he wouldn't) but because 90lbs ago I was very self-conscious because I felt extremely unfeminine, which I'm not pleased to admit. Now...? I don't know and doesn't really…

I'm not going to make any specific suggestions on food because I am not a nutritionist and everyone's body is different. BUT, I will say that probably the best thing you can do to help yourself succeed at this is to take a deep breath take a step back and adjust your perspective a bit. As someone who has lost a bunch of…

Well, this beats my most recent NSV of realizing that I can see practically the entire tattoo on my upper arm at one time now. Penis covers tattoo? Hmmm...that sounds wrong

Also: this. *vomits*

Well, I've had a spider phobia for the last 20+ years (I'm trusting this won't be used against me!) I also fear (<--- see what I did there?) that I am developing a bird phobia: those f*ckers are simply not. to. be. trusted. Mr. Hitchcock tried to warn us about this mannnnnny years ago, so I feel validated. I also think I…

Damn...beat me to it...

I think this is great advice: preplanning and prep help me to stay on track with nutrition, regardless of which specific we're talking about. Nuts, string cheese, and plain greek yogurt are also excellent sources of protein IMO.

This is my official stance on this issue BUT if, for whatever reason, you would like to consume most of your calories earlier in the day, I would recommend you try to eat dinner roughly three to four hours before you fall asleep (Assuming you're going to get 7-9 hours; if not, adjust accordingly) so that you wake up really…

Hi! You can do this! I'll send you a FR!

*slow clap*

I've been in this situation with someone I'd known for about 12 years (although not as well as you know this guy). Unfortunately for me, that turned into a serious trainwreck of a POS relationship, but it ended being what woke me up to realize I need to make some real changes in my life. If you just want more insight on…

You'd probably get the best info if you ask around you locally about salons women recommend. Maybe don't just come right out and say something like "Hey, it looks like you have fake hair, and I would like some too. What do you recommend?" haha Just ask for some recommendations and then go talk to potential stylists. If the…

Wow, I am incredibly honored, amazed, touched, thankful, etc. for all of the kind responses to my post--they made sharing those pics SO worth it! Some people pointed out that I should be smiling in my new pics and that I look happier in my old ones, which is amazing to me: I'm smiling but when I look at them now it is SO…

That's my real-life MiniMe...

Best thing about the dress? $23 at TJ Maxx!!!!!!! Thanks for the compliments!! :-)
