Your picture and screen name are literally the same thing.

I don't have any fertility issues (that I know of) and have never been pregnant, nor really tried for it. But my husband and I have been married nearly 6 years and I know soon enough we will want to have kids. I do want to lose weight for the sake of becoming pregnant because I should. I would like to make becoming…

I kind of want another tattoo too. I've always wanted one on the left side of my torso, going down the side. Something like that I would not be willing to lift my shirt up to show people right now so there's a significance behind it.

I agree. You gotta say something positive too. Mine is my butt as well. And the fact that my weight is very spread out and not all lumped in one area. And also that even at 237lb. I know I'm very strong. I think that I have a naturally large, muscular body even with all the excess weight. And I love that I can tolerate ab…

Agreed. I expected that at least someone would respond the way that you did. But I didn't mean it in a self-loathing way. I'm a firm believer in having a sense of humor about lifes' problems. I frequently poke fun at myself because...well...it's just funny. I am very aware of my weight, and while I desperately want to lose…

See this is exactly what I mean. I actually want to lose 2 pounds per week but with that kind of goal my calories were at 1400. Well I got fat for a reason and along with the 6 years of health/nursing education I got, I decided that 1400 wasn't enough for me. It wasn't until later that I realized when you exercise you gain…

I thought about doing it that way too.

Thanks for your help. I ended up changing the pounds per week goal like you suggested. It bumped me up to 1940cal. which I feel is more sustainable. I figured exercising would alter things too. Again, thanks!

I will tinker around with it. I just feel like my calorie goal is too low. I have 100 pounds to lose and it's telling me to take in 1440 calories a day. A body needs 1200 just to sustain it's metabolic functions. I'm a big girl and just for argument reasons lets say I take in 2800 calories a day. So it wants me to…

That's the old me. I was trying to put before and after pictures up but for whatever reason I can't post anymore pictures. It freezes up as I'm uploading them.

My favorite bands are "indie" type bands like Modest Mouse, The Pixies, Death Cab. But favorite songs, you say? #1: Smashing Pumpkins "1979" #2: Led Zeppelin "Fool in the Rain" I love music though. Hard to narrow it down. I pretty much love everything rock and all it's sub-types.

Mac for the win!
