artsy-type, socially awkward, often homebody- yes. Still the same.... but better! :D

haha! you're so cute. Great job fighting the temptation!!!! Often times those are the hardest parts. One day at a time.....

i love this. wish things were simpler like that again.

you look stunning. great progress!

Go straight to the gym after work. Have your gym bag ready.

haven't read the article yet, i'm about to... but I used to eat back my exercise calories and while I was still losing it was SUPER slow. Since I have changed to not eating them back I've seen a lot of steady success. i dunno, might just be me but I found what works for me.

I am 5'1. when I started MFP, 120 was my ultimate goal weight. I didn't even think I could do it. I've been maintaining 115 for a couple months now. It seems as though all the fat on my body joined forces in my stomach region against me. I still have about 5-10 more lbs of fat to lose. I don't really care about how much I…

HAHA! yeah this for me too

I'm aiming for somwhere in the middle like 8-10 reps. Heavy enough that it's hard but light enough to do at least 8.

^LOL!!! yes this is true. I knew someone who did that diet. She then proceeded to do a hundred other "diets".... don't know which one she's on now.

WOW..... amazing results. Great commitment.

LOL! all joking aside though, use lanolin. The same thing happens to new moms who are breastfeeding. Hurts like hell.

she might be mad at you for being tough, but IMO since you are her friend.... you are helping her. I wish I had a friend like you to straighten me out when I needed it.

I dont know how to post pics, but you can look at my profile pics i have a before/after in there. I did not use a gym- i did that at home with workout videos, running and a calorie deficit. I JUST joined a gym, today was only day 2 for me.... reason being I don't have weights at home like the ones at the gym.

Phone armband... this way your phone doesn't get sweaty either ;) i found mine for only $10 at walmart. Can't live without it.

how bad do you want it?

I have and it was more of a struggle throughout the whole workout to not get snot everywhere so I decided I shouldn't do that again.

I sort of just use those things as emergency type snacks or food. So in that case a few here and there isn't a big deal.

When a particular sweatshirt I used to wear often became snug all of a sudden... then I noticed that my closet started filling up with larges. I realized I needed to fix this before it got worse.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!

"No thank you, I can't." Then immediately discontinue eye contact! There could be a million reasons why you cant.

I. LOVE. THIS!!!!!

No, because the goal is to learn proportions, eventually you should be able to get a good idea of how much and what to eat on a regular basis. That being said, you eat a lot one day for a special occasion or whatever- go light the next.

I came to see what "national dish" meant lol But yes, mostly I cook curries and such. It doesn't have to be unhealthy :)

phone in a arm band phone holder (because i also use it for music) and I shove my house key in it too. Or tie it on a string and wear it around my neck and tuck it under my shirt. at the gym- just in the locker.

sure does! I love it

yeah, i felt that way for a long long time. It wasn't until I finally hit my first goal and went shopping that i noticed the difference. When you start picking clothes you like instead of clothes picking you.... its a great feeling!

yes. me. people were commenting on my losses at about 5-10 lbs and then it stopped all together. Weird. but i know how you feel.

I've got that several times as well... i don't even LOOK sick. I'm tempted to just say yes and that's its highly contagious and fatal.

^HAA!!!!
