Love it curly! : D

MUST have one my plays I have written performed in a local theater. Doesn't need to be big, I just need to see it off the paper.

Why are there no men this "attractiveness" line-up?

Mmm.... usually, an orange or some smaller fruit, toast (hard to find healthier bread, I personally like Sara Lee calorie reduced bread), one-three egg whites, and a ton of water! Water, it seems, gets me going through the day better than coffee!

I do feel like I'm still fat! I completely understand. I never stop surprising myself when I go for new clothes and it seems I need to now search the isles with the smaller clothing. I usually think it'll be too tight, and it ends up being a bit baggy on me! But it does boost my confidence some, so no harm done!

:( I have trouble finding foods low in carbs Anyone know where I can find a good list of recommendations and substitutes?

They're both pretty and happy, why should we say that for some reason one is less attractive than the other? Everyone has the right to feel confident in their body- fat, skinny, and anywhere in between.

Stop the religious measuring, dear! :) Measure your inches, and weigh yourself on the scale once a month. If you did really good that month, the results will show and it is very empowering!

Get all sorts of things for different moods! Dances games are fun, you could get zumba for a fun workout, wii gots some good stuff, anything Jillian Michaels is LOTS of fun, especially if you keep track of your progress with it....hmm... if you have netflix (TIP!) not everyone knows this, but Netflix has lots of fun little…

Ohmygod. These all are terribly tempting! Sounds soooo good but also soooo bad!

Taco Bell. That's about it. It's usually not hard to get over when you don't have money on you, though. xD

5lbs in a week? I must say, that seems a little... extreme. At my weight I can healthily lose 1lb a week! And according to the math, if I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week I'd be eating 900 cals a day! :P But this journey isn't about weightloss, this is about developing a healthy, fit lifestyle!

^^;; I'm a little too poor for the gym! I think I'd be too discouraged if I went to the gym, anyway, surrounded by people already far ahead of me! I mean, I know generally people are kind and inviting and could share helpful fitness tips, but that doesn't stop my social anxiety!

I like to count my calories per week, not per day. :) This allows me to eat different intakes each day, keeping my metabolism busy! :D I have stopped plateau-ing when I started counting cals/week instead of cals/day. This won't work for everyone, but for me it helps, especially when there is one day a week I KNOW I am…

All I can say is... When I start getting out-of-line, I remind myself that I'm working for the end result, not the pleasure I will have for 30 seconds while eating. If you stop losing weight, change up your intake some. It can confuse your metabolism, but get it up and running again. It helps me get over plateaus. You…

Eating very little will cause you to lose weight. Guys, this is obvious, plain and simple, it happens. But eating very little is NOT the way to lose weight. I'm sure you guys are smart enough to understand that starving is not a proper weight-loss method.

I have such a hard time even TRYING to move down the scale when I'm bleeding! xD I tend NOT to go up on the scale, but I DON'T move down it, either, no matter how much or how little I'm eating. But I guess it would differ from person to person! But it does seem that our cycles do affect our weight, even temporarily.

We recently added one to our kitchen. It helps a ton, especially since a certain family member who likes to cook full meals for her family thinks 12oz is actually 2 oz. :( Its becoming helpful, but we don't rely on it for everything. We NEVER measure fruits and veggies- actually, we don't count calories from fruits and…

Humans need companionship. A dog is the best companion, really. They don't encourage you to go out and drink and binge on bad foods with them because they're not on a diet. When you're sad and alone at home, they will come up and rest their head on your lap and try to comfort you. But they do need you as much as you need…

Oh my you did so well! You look FANTASTIC!

Think if that were true for all women, we'd all be double 0s!

A Big and Tall Goodwill sort of thing? (xD One of the biggest reasons I'm losing weight is to shop for clothes at normal places.)

I'm very picky! I don't actually eat all that much, but what I do eat tends to be the size of a quarter and 800 calories per serving. D: I need to get addicted to fruits and veggies again.

Someone probably already said this, but... If Kim is fat, what does that make me? I must have my own gravitational pull!

^^^ THIS

So little time and so much progress! You look fantastic! :DDDDD I'm so proud!!!

Nothing. Eating at night isn't good. I'll eat an extra apple tomorrow morning, slice it up with oatmeal or something. :)

OMG I totally understand the excitement you feel when the wii fit says you're "normal"! :D I JUST got there yesterday, and was so excited. But I won't lie, I'm terrified of next weigh in. I don't want to gave gone back up!

Muscle gain, water weight, time of day you weighed yourself, clothes, etc. There are lots of different things that happen in your body, and its best to weigh yourself at the same time every day, and only LOG the information once a week or every other week for the most accurate measurement of how much you're gaining or…

I think I'm learning more about what to put into my body, how much of it is too much, and what exercises benefit my health best through MFP. "Points" don't say much. Reading a real label with the sodium content, calories, fiber, etc... it's much better to know. Plus, MFP is free!
