I think pretty much EVERYONE has a shallow reason to want to lose weight. Or LOTS of shallow reasons. Like I want to feel cute wrapped in a towel after the shower. And prove everyone who doubted me wrong.

Pretty gorgeous.

I always avoid the question. There's always a way to avoid a question without lying.

I work at a Juvenile Correctional Facility. I love my job. I like working with people who society has given up on. I like making them feel like real people, and they deserve to have someone listen to them and not treat them like "just another criminal." The worst part of my job is that sometimes it's a downer. These people…

I have a Polar FT4, which works fine for me. I got it on Amazon for about $60.

I'm @lkantra. I post my daily insanity workouts and some food. But it's my personal one, so obviously there are some other pictures. Anyone can add me! I'm always looking for new awesome people to follow. :)

Aw, come on. Isn't someone doing insanity?

That's awesome! Happy for you. Also, losing 270 pounds worth of @$$hole gave me a terrible mental image. :wink:

I am open to it as well. I've lost 12 pounds, but I still have quite a bit to go. I've found that having friends on here REALLY helps. Anyone who would like to can add me :)

I don't completely remove anything from my diet, but there are things that I have much more of a tendency to overeat... 1) Nutty Bars (or any pb and chocolate deliciousness) 2) Better Cheddars or Cheez-Its (I have to buy individual packs.) 3) Cheese Ravioli (I want to eat like a box at a time.) 4) Pita bread (I eat this…

:heart: You guys are awesome. Love these.

Yet another Vitamix vote! I use mine all the time. I was a poor grad student when I got it, but it's been proven to be worth it! Nothing compares.

I am on Week 1, Day 5. I love it so far. I can't keep up with every single thing (who can?), but I do my best and keep moving. I've stayed consistently sore, which I love and hate. But the calendar is perfect for my Type A personality. :)

People are going to think I'm insane, but I like the Gerber Graduates Lil' Crunchies... They are like cheetos, but are WAY lower in calories. They are like 35 calories a serving... or 210 if you eat the whole container!

Me too girl, me too. There's no way that I think to myself, "Oh I think I'll just do some plyometrics on my own."

I'm on Day 4 today! I log mine manually because I have a heart rate monitor. I love that it's so hard. I hate it, but I love to hate it!! And I feel so accomplished afterwards! Anyone who is doing insanity can definitely add me! I love new friends, especially doing the same thing!

Old thread revisited! I grew up in Fairhope, AL, went to college at LSU(Baton Rouge, LA), and now I live in Auburn, AL. All over the south! Anyone can feel free to add me :)

You two are closest to me (but I have a lower goal bc of a small frame)! 25 y/o 5'8" SW: 253 CW: 246 GW: 145ish

"You're right - men ARE better drivers than women." "I think we should buy you some more graphic tees from Walmart. They are SO funny." "It turns me on when you wear your 'Jingle my bells' Christmas boxers."

I'm on 200mcg... reading everyone else's, I guess that's kind of high. But whatever works!

Armageddon. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I think I could watch this movie like 80 times in succession, and I would still cry. Also: Keith, Marley and Me, A Perfect Storm. For anyone who LOVES pets, this is the best website ever: DoesTheDogDie.com .. that way you can know what movies to avoid.

When instead of thinking about what you will do that night, you think about what you'll have for dinner. When you're worried about playing your kinect bc the downstairs neighbors might think you're moving furniture. When you scramble to be in the back of group pictures.

Hahaha, hilarious. :laugh:

Feel free to add me! I'm also 5'8" with the same weight loss goal. And 25 years old. :)

bump! This is fun to read :)

Hey there, I have hypothyroidism too. I'm 25 now. I wasn't diagnosed until I was about 18. But I definitely struggle with it. It makes losing weight harder, but I don't want to use it as my excuse anymore. Feel free to add me (anyone on here). :) Love to support and be supported :)

That sounds really good! Thanks!

Anyone can add me as well. I'm 25, 5'8", and have about 100 pounds to lose. I also have an open diary, so I'd love to have some other people on my friends list who do as well. Love to support and be supported. :)

People are going to think I'm insane, but I like the Gerber Graduates Lil' Crunchies... They are like cheetos, but are WAY lower in calories. They are like 35 calories a serving... or 210 if you eat the whole container!

You're beautiful! Congrats on the weight loss!!
