As an 18 year old, I applied to be a server at Outback steakhouse. The first 2 interviews went great, when I went in the 3rd time to meet the owner- I tripped and fell down as I was went to shake his hand. The questioning went well, but he was very blunt when he told me after seeing me fall, he couldn't hire me as a…

kittehs!

These are the types of things that you do that challenge me to choose wiser. I love when you tell us about your victories! Makes me want to follow your footsteps.

For any ladies who don't know- there are at least 2 groups specifically for tall women: Totally Tall Women of MFP Tall Women Perhaps there are more, too... Join them under the community tab "groups"

I keep getting an email teasing "the best exercise for weight loss..." and you have to click on a link. When you open it- the answer is the exercise that you find enjoyable and look forward to doing- whatever that may be. I think it's like that for weight loss. If you're always hungry at the 1#/week of weight loss, you're…

You have made a tremendous amount of progress. Victory, for sure!

I do both. Started out doing the Wii version, then started going to real classes. At some point, I bought the XBox kinect and started doing that one (WAY better than Wii). Anyways- the games are great to help you learn the moves or when you don't feel like GOING anywhere... but when you go to a class- you get to feed off…

That is so AWESOME!!!! wow. That's great that you made such an impact and they're letting you know!!! That is a pretty cool day :)

It's awesome! Buy it.

Nope. Yay Hobby Lobby!!!

One of my fave instructor always says "There's no left or right in zumba. No wrong or right... just keep moving." That's a great attitude to take!

That show is AWESOME!!! They are in such amazing shape. But- I almost cried on Monday for the guy who hit the buzzer a tenth of a second too late. AWWWW!!!!

You'll hear on here "don't go under 1200" as the hard and fast rule. Personally- I'm 5'11" and know that if I go under 1450 cals, I experience this. I can't think straight, and I get extremely moody/emotional. SO- 1300 may be too low for you. Just keep paying attention to your own body- and LISTEN! It's showing you it…

I'm overwhelmed with your awesome-ness, right now.

sour patch kids or cherry sours. nom nom nom

workout pants that are opaque normally, and see-through when stretched. You never know until it's too late.

mmm... ceviche.... You're a wise man- hope this is your golden ticket.

Sorry to not comment on the post- but this is the best line EVER!!!

^^ THIS!^^ You should not be eating significantly under your RMR. If your TDEE were 1760, then 1250 would be an acceptable cal limit, but not your RMR! ***edited to add*** Remember, they're only PRACTICING medicine. Listen to your body and don't let yourself get "hangry".

You're STILL an inspiration. I always learn from your writings and get a take-away message. Thanks for not giving up on your day... next time I'm in the same boat, I will think of you and be inspired to get back in the green :)

YES! When I was 25, I moved across the country by myself. Everyone of my friends that I relied on for strength and support screwed me over in some way, or another that year. I felt so alone - and it was the hardest time of my life. SO sorry that you're going through this!!! Although I'm still friends with many of the same…

KITTIES!!

No matter what size you are- you're such a beauty full of life and happiness! You are such an amazing inspiration! So glad I can call you my friend!!!

In a grocery store, a man approached me and ask for my number. After showing him wedding ring and telling him that I was married, he asked if he could give me his number.... so "he could help me get over it when I get divorced".

For me- with a HRM, I burn about 200-260 kcals per hour of Pilates. With Zumba, I burn about 550-600.

Those of us on your FL know you have had an emotionally challenging 5 months, yet you've kept pushing through with a great outward attitude. You have inspired me and countless other more times than you know- and made me giggle just as much. None of us is perfect, nor should we try to be. All we can do is be the best that…

Totally worth $30!!! If you don't like it- you can always resell it & turn a profit. (I have an Ultra & love it!)

an awesome bong!

I was at the park over the weekend, and heard a mother telling her children what to do if a stranger grabbed them. (The children were walking in front of the Mom, and she was yelling at them to "instruct" them- it was impossible to not hear what she said.) If someone were to grab them, the kids (3 children less than 10…
