Man, winter is a blessing here for running. It's too hot for me to run outside like half of the year, so when it gets cold, I'm outside non-stop. Then again, it rarely gets down to freezing during the day here, so I don't have to worry so much about it being TOO cold.

This probably isn't what you want to hear, but for me the first 5 lbs seemed to just disappear the minute I started actually paying attention to my diet and exercise. But after about 10-15lbs or so, it's been going VERRRRYYYYYY slowly. I mean 1 pound last month. The inches are coming off, but the # on the scale isn't…

I'm a BIG advocate of rescue/adopting dogs, that's the only kind of dog I've ever had. I do some volunteer work for a large no-kill animal rescue organization---spay and neuter your pets, people!! Anyway, if you're insistent on getting a pure-bred non-rescue dog, a good option for a small indoor dog is a Maltese. They have…

How does one throw a wish into a well? Don't you throw a coin in the well to make a wish? Stupid. And what's with the guy constantly being in her way? Can't she just tell that fool to MOVE?? Trade her soul for a wish?? HER SOUL??? FOR A WISH?? Doesn't that girl know anybody can just make a wish whenever they want, without…

It depends totally on the job, time of year, etc. I wore a skirt to the interview for my current job, mostly because I interviewed in the summertime when it was 105 degrees out and didn't want to be sweaty and disgusting by the time I walked from the parking lot to the building, but the one I had before this I wore pants…

I've been professionally diagnosed with body dysmporphic disorder. It's gotten better, but it's still a struggle to see what's really there and not still see someone much bigger in the mirror. Or in pictures. I'm almost embarrassed by pictures of myself, even current ones showing my 30lb weight lost.. It sucks, it's really…

Pets can be fatties too.

That is so crazy, I have never seen or heard anyone comment about this on MFP ever.

UT game last weekend. Tailgating with my company (which happens to be a beer distributor). So much beer. Aaaaand now this picture is on my company's facebook page. What can I say, I'm a class act. HOOK EM!

I don't know who this TOM guy is, but he sounds like a real douche.

K well, I've met Amber in person and seen her in various states of undress---I can assure you she's being honest about her bra size. Good Lord.

Pancakes do NOT do it for me. It's the texture or something...idk... EXCEPT---the gluten free apple cinnamon pancakes from this place called Kerbey Lane. I don't know what the hell kind of voodoo magic they put in those pancakes, but they are a party in my mouth. So unless you have gluten free apple cinnamon pancakes from…

Also, a woman who is a size 0 can be curvy. Because, like so many have mentioned, it's a body shape, not a body size.

A person can be thin or skinny/fat or whatever and still be curvy. Because it refers to the shape of your body, not the amount of fat your body is carrying. I would identify myself as curvy, but I'm sure you would disagree, even though my hips are a full 10 inches bigger around than my waist.

Also, having met Amber in person several times, YES, girlfriend has got CURVES. Boobs, booty, and a teeny waist---I do agree though, your profile pic angle doesn't show your shape straight on. Anyway, carry on y'all...

My waist---it shrinks super fast. Which sound nice and all, but I'd REALLY appreciate my *kitten* and thighs getting with the program too! My arms seem to take a long time as well...ugh.

5 feet isn't that short, you're not a little person (is that the PC term to use these days?). I'm only 5'3", so not much taller, and I eat grown up portions of food. At least 1500 calories a day, more depending on the amount of exercise I've done. It takes more than 800 calories a day for your body just to function. Your…

I pack my son's lunch. Problem solved. Idk, I'm just not really a fan of school lunches. I don't know how the food's made, how long it's been sitting there, what kind of cheap grade crap they use to make it to save money...plus, it's expensive! Way cheaper to buy groceries and pack my son's lunch. He helps me pick out the…

That's how I was as a kid. I was the smallest, scrawniest, and always youngest in my class. I didn't start catching up height/weight wise until about the 5th grade. I've always been short and petite, but weight wise I finally got to be pretty normal for my height and age in 5th/6th grade. I was one of those "eat like a…

This is so amazing! I have PCOS as well, and have been medication free since January---and funny enough, I didn't start losing any weight until I went totally off my meds (well, besides birth control, I have Implanon) and started regulating through diet and exercise. Switching to a "slow carb" diet, which is basically like…

I used to work out right after work, and then dinner wasn't on the table til 8 at the earliest, my 5 year old wasn't in bed until 10 at the earliest, and I was exhausted. So when he started school last week, I started getting up at 4:45/5ish to work out before I had to get him up and ready for school. It's still a…

Ha. This thread's totally gonna go over well. Btw, when I reach my goal, y'all are gonna see so much of my body you're gonna hate me. I can't walk around nearly naked at work, so the interwebs will have to do.

I think she has people on her payroll (all hired by Papa Joe!) that do her thinking for her...

Haha yeah, but at least you KNEW it wasn't going to magically come off! Girlfriend legit DID NOT KNOW the baby weight wouldn't just magically disappear when she gave birth. Like she was going to give birth to a 70 pound baby or something...

Umm I wouldn't really even go that far. Have you heard any of her stuff? Or heard her sing live? Yikes. Fact: you do not have to be talented or intelligent to make it big.
