Lady in the Water was such a good and quirky movie :)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Trying to read all of these because Page 5 looks like maybe the rules changed?

My FMS took a HUGE bad turn and I stopped logging, stopped trying to keep track as I was so foggy and exhausted. What I did, however, was check in without logging. People on my friends list kept me motivated to do this once I was better. I'm doing better. I'm logging daily. I don't delete people for that. I know this is a…

^^^^ This:) When I can move, it eventually helps.

Lack of energy could also be from...Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Sometimes it just saps your entire will and makes it impossible to function. Adding migraines on top of that makes it worse. I deal with CFS/FMS and take various vitamins, including D, and have all tests at phenomenal except Vitamin D (that's why I take it) and…

So I'm not understanding. In the 15% taken off, what does that do? I know to account for BMR, I'm just not understanding what that means.

No, but mine knows I want to work out and get in shape. We both complain about our weight.

I haven't been that weight since I was 12 and I'm the same height. My body looks and feels fabulous, however, at 145-150. That's when I'm my healthiest. I do NOT believe in a cookie cutter weight per height. Bodies are built differently. I don't have the structure to look any good at that weight. Neither did my mom. She…

What server are you on? I'm on Stormbluff Isles. I didn't do Wow, but I loooove GW2. I've done SWTOR, but since I can't hide my helmet, haven't been on as much (f2p) and I do LOTRO as well. I did Everquest 2 for 4+ years.

I loooove long hair. Mine was past my rear when I got really sick, stressed, and went through a divorce. I lost so much hair it was straggly, so I had to have it cut to around bra strap length with layers to hide all the loss. Now it's getting healthier all the time and I'm getting more and more of it. It's super thick…

I dealt with a husband that was a lot like this. He'd insist on serving my plate, then complain a LOT if I didn't eat every last bit. His servings were pasta meant for two men usually. I hated his food. I hated eating it. I felt so downtrodden and depressed and overwhelmed by him that yes, I ate. Once he was gone, I lost…

If you're working on the house until Midnight or later, you can't get up at 4am to work out. It'll take time, really. You'll both adjust and things will get better.

My guy is honest that he prefers smaller women in general and he wants me to lose weight in time for ME. For my own health. He also tells me constantly that I'm gorgeous, I'm beautiful, I'm his goddess, and the light in his life. He also says HE wants to lose weight, that he wants us to be healthy together. He never, ever…

Butter should never, ever go near rice. I do like milk, a hint of sugar, and cinnamon though. It's what Mom always made.

I'll be off as well, similar reason! :) It's also supposed to be our potluck and Christmas party, but I'm okay with not being there.

It goes both ways. I think age does a lot to cure this problem, and experience. When they've dealt with enough jerks, male or female, then they start to look for something else. They're also attracted to confidence. We all are. Personally, I want a man who is a blend of a good guy who won't be a jerk to me and mess around,…

Getting my butt moving. Logging calories started to become counter productive, so I've stopped but still watch what I eat. Now I'm just logging exercise, trying to get myself motivated to move again. I stopped when my Vitamin D was so low I had zero energy and lots of pain (fibromyalgia does that anyway.) So that's my main…

Other than the tips someone gave, enjoy it. I looked 13 when I was 19 and had a daughter, all that. People thought she was my mom's kid. I'm 37 now and still told I look in my early 20s. I'd take that over the opposite ANY day.

Thank you!!! I was going to say similarly. I'm solidly built. I do disagree with this person. I'm short. I can't DO 110 because I'd look anorexic AND be unhealthy. But that weight is perfect for a lot of women my height. By that same token, usually people under-guess my weight. I use it as a tool to know where I feel…

I have a large frame at 5'2" (5 1 3/4) My dad's shirts (he was 5'9" and in the thin to medium build range, never overweight a day in his life) were always too snug in the shoulders. I won't go smaller than a man's large just because of my shoulders. My ideal according to this would be 123-143. I do find around 143-150 I…

I've only been dumped once, and it wasn't a funny story. :( This was a hilarious thread.

How do you cut wheat? I'm not meaning just eating gluten free style foods, but how do you know which things exactly to cut and did you cut anything else too? I'm really thinking of doing this. I don't know that I eat much wheat though, so I want to sort it out

Niiiice, best thing to wear at night

PJ bottoms (funky pants) and some sort of tee shirt or tank top. I cannot sleep in the buff. It was a "rule" in my last marriage and very uncomfortable for me. I so do not sleep well like that. I get HOT.

Not many afters. I'm still trying to get lower. I'm around 188-190 right now and started (the second time) where you were at about 208. Originally 230, but I'd lost that before regaining some. I'm 5'1" (and 3/4)

Don't turn your phone off for that person. Tell that person, "Fine, if you can't respect that I have other things I'm tending to right now, do not contact me again." Then don't respond. If they keep texting, most phones and phone companies have a way to block unwanted calls and texts.

I'm under 5'2" and for many of us at this height, 120 is not "quite large" it's unrealistically too small. I don't know how you're built though. I'm built where my weight always seems much lighter than it actually is, very solid. Spot on and I loved the very last sentence. That's so true. If you're not doing it constantly,…

It was awesome reading this. My friends pig out on junk. My job loves potlucks. Me? I was doing well and now I'm struggling. I have a peach I keep trying to force myself to gnosh on and I'm just not feeling it. I was eating veggies, all that good stuff. Now it's a battle. Wtheck. :( And yes, the body builder's advice is…

My daughter at 18 is still a very thin girl. She's a size 1-3 (depends on the brand) and 5'4" so she's taller than I am. But instead of having her eat bad foods, I encouraged healthier eating than I was accomplishing and also didn't allow much soda, candy or anything like that. She still doesn't like a lot of sweets or…
