Haha, nice ;) I'm Virgo. To say that I'm meticulous and a perfectionist would be an understatement.

Wow, I had no idea how many women out there used the Diva Cup as well. Well, yes, I would suggest that first, but it's definitely not for everyone and I can understand that. I also agree with using liners. They're pretty thin, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be as uncomfortable as a straight up pad; it might be worth…

I'm in Waterloo, ON Born and grew up in Toronto, though. Go Canada! ;)

Canada! Born and grew up in Toronto, Ontario Now I'm living in Waterloo ON, studying at UW. Hello and cheers to my Ontarian neighbours ;)

I'm bipolar, and I'm here for you too. Anyone who would like to is more than welcome to add me. :) It's a struggle, but having a support network helps so, so much.

This. I agree wholeheartedly. (I mean, I'm Canadian, so I can't say it's *my* government, but I believe I'm still allowed to have an opinion on the matter. ) Edit: Oops.. just realised this sort of wasn't allowed on the forums, heh.

Hi, I'm Monica. I'm 5' 3" and I'm a 36 DD (it was a DDD last time I was measured, but I think the size has decreased a bit since then...). I love that I found this group! I have been searching high and low for a decent sports bra, and I'm excited to follow up on some of these suggestions. Thank you so much! :) I must have…

Very wise, and very true! This is a wonderful post, and I really needed to read this; thanks for sharing your thoughts. The person you are on the inside is the most important. As time goes by, the outside will eventually change, and gravity eventually wins, haha... but the inside will always be the solid part of us that…

Congratulations on losing 20 pounds! I'll send you a request :)

Welcome back! I'll send you a request; I'm online every day, and I'll try to keep you motivated :)

From Toronto, but living in Waterloo while I'm in university woot!

That's interesting advice... are there few treadmills in your gym? Perhaps he thought that there wouldn't be any available for people who wanted to focus on running.. I don't agree with that though. Maybe he was suggesting that there are more effective/appropriate machines for you, that incorporate the upper body/arms as…

Sorry, but this one touched a nerve. 1. Go educate yourself 2. This is a supportive community. @ TheRoadDog, I wish you the best of luck in meeting your goals. Stuff happens, and sometimes people need a new beginning. Wanting a small but close circle is understandable; it's possible to feel lonely in a room full of people.…

Welcome! I've been using MyFitnessPal for a few months now, and I'm hooked. It was definitely the right choice for me. The community on here is fantastic, and it's always easier to stay motivated when you're working on your goal with others. Good luck :)

Hello, Congratulations of losing 4 lbs! Seeing myself in a bunch of family photos is what motivated me to start as well.. I'm glad I came across MFP; the community here is awesome, and so supportive. Add me if you'd like; I'll send you a friend request. p.s. I love those wii games, hahah. way to go!

Hello! I'm very sorry to hear about your difficulty with your gallbladder; I hope everything goes well in the future. MFP's food and exercise database is incredibly extensive. I'd say about 95%+ of the food I've bought or consumed has been in there; the things that I couldn't find were easily added. Some simple meals are…

Hello, I'm a student as well, so I can relate to you with having little time for exercise and balanced eating in addition to classes. Congratulations on losing weight already! I love MFP, everyone here is so supportive, and once you meet some people on here, it's hard not to keep the commitment. I'll send you a request; we…

Feel free to add me :)

This makes me hungry, lol 1. Fruit: Raspberries 2. Veggie: Asparagus 3. Animal: Chicken 4. Beverage: Piña Colada :tongue: Non alcoholic would be chocolate milk 5. All time food: Chicken Shawarma, heheh Edit: woot, asparagus is loooved in this thread.

You look fabulous! Congratulations! :happy: It's so inspiring.

I'll send a request if you like, you can do it :)

I'll send you a request. It's much easier to do this with support. Motivation is so important. :smile:

I'll add you, if you'd like. I've had problems with snacking from boredom also. We can do it :)

I'll add you if that's alright :) It's so helpful to do it with other people.

^ This too. My boyfriend drinks a glass of orange juice with his meal.

I believe tofu and the like have a fair amount of calcium in them. I wouldn't totally write off dairy though, if you are able to consume it. I've read that some vegetables in the cabbage family are decent sources of calcium. Unless I am mistaken, your body needs vitamin D to help absorb the calcium. That's very important…

I'm a victim too. I'm like you though; I usually have a bowl of frozen yogurt, or a glass of chocolate milk (which is pretty filling for me). The chocolate milk I buy is about 170 calories for a glass, give or take, and the frozen yogurt is 90 cal for half a cup. Some frozen yogurt isn't really all that bad if you have a…

I was a vegetarian for years (hence the 'veggie' in my username) and I've only started eating chicken again recently. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is a huge meat lover. Steaks, chicken, bacon, and did I mention steaks? :tongue: I still usually pick vegetarian options, and I still buy my fake meats. When we would be…

I have to go with Australian too, haha.

I personally love water... but I'm weird and love the taste of city tap water :tongue: Maybe to some people it just doesn't feel satisfying enough. Or not as satisfying as juice or something. It must be harder to make the switch when you've lived with other beverages for so long.
