  • I am getting fit for cosplay too :) I have been cosplaying for about 8 years. Add me if you like <3
  • I love the porcupine mountains! There are a lot of beautiful waterfalls there and the view of Lake Superior is amazing. Speaking of waterfalls, Tahquamenon Falls are a great destination as well. Mackinaw Island is a nice way to spend a day or two. How about Sleeping Bear sand dunes? :) Out of curiosity, what part of…
  • Water makes me nauseous too. Carbonated drinks do not. That is how I started drinking 5-6 cans of soda a day long ago...it was literally the only this I was drinking :/ Now I just force myself to drink water as much as I can (I still have a soda every day) and try to ignore the nausea.
  • I have a lot of cosplay pics on my MFP profile, but here is my facebook page as well: https://www.facebook.com/EmisaurusCosplay :D
  • I'm in the same boat. I lost 50 pounds 2 years ago and gained it all back after leaving my job. It's way harder the second time. :( I'd be happy to be friends.
  • I struggle with this because my husband eats what I eat and doesn't ask for or want a larger portion, and he is losing weight because of it. He is a healthy weight already and does not need to lose so it's a problem. It's very frustrating trying to force him to eat more calories when he's quite content to have what I have…
  • "I love hot chocolate so much, my pants are on backwards!"
  • I was on a leash as a child lol. I even have pics. Now I'm a perfectly normal well-adjusted adult.
  • The entire Tales of... series (Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Vesperia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Graces, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Xillia, etc)...Ragnarok Online, Elsword... Fate Unlimited Codes and Fate Extra... Resident Evil series... Phantasy Star series.. :D Gamers add me please :3
  • YES DO IT
  • Amazing! I need to get back on the ball haha
  • I'm from Kalamazoo but currently living in Texas. I want to come home!!!

  • I've been feeling like that too recently. "This sucks, I want to just eat something and not worry about whether it's good for me or fits in my calories...like I used to!" Then I found my old student ID and realized how fat I was when I ate "like I used to". Guess there's no turning back.
  • In high school my friend was referred to as "the hot girl next to the fat chick" (the fat chick being me). I was only about 5 lbs overweight at the time. I never told anyone but I started starving myself after that and lost 50 pounds that summer, and even on the border of "underweight" I still thought of myself as the fat…
  • Anime Central in Chicago, A-Kon in Dallas, and Anime Fest in Dallas :)
  • I'm not following their nutrition guide either. To me it looked gross...so much meat :noway: Instead I just track my calories and try to get extra protein when I can. I haven't had shocking results yet but I'm only in week 5.
  • Tina Fey and Giada De Laurentiis lol

  • I've been doing P90X for 3 weeks now and I'm thinking of posting my before and during pics at the end of phase 1 next week but I'm really nervous! My before looks really bad and I'm afraid I'm not going to see a difference after Phase 1 (I know there's two more phases to go but I would like to see SOME difference!) I have…
  • I'm not sure I'm a good judge of that because I don't think I look good in anything...
  • I used to have that problem too...I think that's how my weight got so out of control in the first place. And even when I'm not looking in the mirror I always FELT like I was thin. I would get annoyed when my husband would touch my stomach because it startled me to physically feel how far out it protruded. Now I've lost 45…
  • How close are you to fitting the dress? I had this EXACT same problem before my wedding and I was so stressed out about it I felt like calling the whole thing off. Then I took the dress and had it let out so that it fit me and I stopped worrying about it and I had a wonderful day on my wedding :) You know, even if you…
  • I'm not very knowledgeable about the groups or anything but I do love the music :) So I guess I'm a casual fan!
  • And that's when I learned I could never be a secret agent.
  • I dress very modestly (when I'm not in costume) and my reasons are entirely due to low self esteem and poor body image. I would love to be able to dress more like how I see other women my age dress. My weight issues are I think, in part, caused by the fact that I spent so much of my life hiding my body from myself and the…
  • My mom was in a similar situation. She was obese BECAUSE she was disabled. Please do not judge someone for using a wheelchair, ever. You never know.
  • I find myself being very judgmental when i hear other people talking about trying to lose weight. I know some people who every week are on about how "This is our last bad meal and then from here on out, we're juice fasting!" or fill in the blank with some other crazy unnecessary weight loss gimmick. They say this while…
  • If my husband signed up for a fitness class I would be thrilled...I would also not expect him to "consult" me first. He is an adult and can make his own decisions... I also think it's very odd that a few days ago there was a thread up about a woman who was mad at her husband for forbidding her from doing something a LOT…
  • For me this is a very difficult and emotional battle of will. I eat like crap pretty much every day and on the occasions that I manage to eat under my calories, if someone told me I wasn't doing a good job I would probably be tempted to give up entirely. I know that sounds weak and pathetic, but that's how it is.
  • 5'11" add me! :)
  • I met my husband online and before we were able to move in together we played Phantasy Star Online together. Now MMOing is still a huge part of our relationship. We will be married 4 years next week!
