When I count the reps in my head, I just zone out and stare into space but I'm usually facing someone else and they think I'm staring at them. :embarassed:

I'm doing so-so. Went over my calories a few times but that's okay because I only just lowered them from 1700 to 1480 so it's bound to be a struggle for a week or two. I didn't get to exercise because there's something wrong with my abdomen. I only got an appointment with my doctor for the 6th and don't know if I want to…

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. The cover and description may seem like it's chick lit but it really, really isn't.

So sorry about your loss, too, Lauren. I just wanted to add that, since I'm in Germany and 9am EST is 3pm for me, I may not always make it. I often do stuff on Saturday afternoons and may not be online. But I'll try to check in with you guys whenever I can and otherwise just read and post later. :)

"Will Grayson, Will Grayson" is my favorite book by Green. Also love his co-author, David Levithan.

Hey everyone and thanks for the group invite. My name is Kathy and I live in Germany. I'm 31 and I've always been overweight. When I was little, I was the chubby kid and I guess back then it was still somewhat cute. But as soon as I started school, I started suffering from it. I was never bullied but it was still obvious…

Had to take a break from reading ASOIAF, so I started reading Every Day by David Levithan today. I've only finished the first chapter and I already love it.

Rocko's Modern Life. :love:

Sigh. I'm reading A Storm of Swords (ASOIAF #3) right now. Love, love, love those books but it takes me forever to finish them and I expect I'll be reading this one for the next seven years. :laugh:

Hey, I'm 31 and have about 150lb to lose. I log on daily and try to be helpful and encouraging as much as I can. I do not follow a specific diet (low carb, keto, etc.) but eat what I want, only less of it than before. Would love some more active friends, so feel free to add me and say hello.

I have about 150lb to lose. Anyone feel free to add me if you like. :)

That is awesome! I've always wanted to ask one of the local ghost hunter groups if I could come along sometime but I think I'm too much of a wuss. The weird thing I do is when I use forks, spoons etc. to prepare food, I cannot use them for eating as well. Just the other day I made some noodles and I used a fork to stir…

I go by the alphanumeric 'names' on the machines. I'm pretty bad with forgetting stuff but strangely, these always seemed to stick with me so far. If that changes, I'll probably carry the plan around with me that my trainer filled out for me. They fill them out and then have shelves full of folders with them in the gym, so…

I have the Flex and love it. I don't miss the ability of it counting stairs. When I bought it, I had to decide between the Flex and the One and the reason I went for the Flex was that I personally prefer wearing it around the wrist. I just know I'd forget taking the One with me all the time and maybe even accidentally wash…

I love that idea! :) For big goals, I have planned tattoos as rewards. But that's probably not for everyone.

Dita von Teese's underwear brand, Von Follies, does wonders for mine. Bought a bra there, love it! But I don't know if they make them that big. I think the biggest cup size may be E or F.

Oh, the 'no money' thing is very good advice. I've never even thought of that. We have a candy box at work but we need to pay for it, so I wouldn't be able to fall prey to it. And driving to Burger King during my break wouldn't be an option, either. :) So far what I've tried and which worked 'on good days' was bringing…

I developed an instant crush on every single member of Italy's background band.

I watch it every year. I'm in Germany. I like our entry's voice but it's too much link Pink. I absolutely loved Iceland so far. And, of course, Austria for the message it delivered.

Oh, it's so good to have found this group and see I'm not alone. I tend to overeat a lot but never thought about why I do it. Today, it became painfully clear to me that my two main triggers are boredom and anxiety. The boredom I can probably get rid of easily. Either indulge in something else that is fun or - even better…

My playlist keeps changing but there are some staples on there... Architects by Rise Against Anna-Molly by Incubus End Transmission by AFI Your Neck by Alkaline Trio Mr. Brightside by The Killers It's All Been Done by Barenaked Ladies Uptown Girl by Billy Joel The Suffering by Coheed & Cambria Just Can't Get Enough by…

Unfortunately, in my experience, this IS a girl thing. And it's all about insecurities on their part. I have a friend who's like that, too. I mean, she'd never insult anyone openly but as soon as we come near a girl who looks pretty in any way, out comes the b*tch in my friend. And I know it's all just because she…

Whoa, this is so relevant to my interests! :bigsmile: Where can I sign up?

I loved that book! :) Last book I finished was My Wish List by Grégoire Delacourt.

I'm 31 and people frequently guess me to be in my early 20's, sometimes even younger. I really don't mind that. :bigsmile:

Awwww :love: But yes, I'm the same.

Depending on my shift, I sometimes hit the gym after 7 pm. I can't go much later or in the morning because it's open from 8 am to 10 pm. I could never get anything done before work, anyway. And late at night...I don't know, I tried it a few times with my old 24h gym and it wasn't exactly bad but I found that I didn't…

Started reading The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion yesterday. So.effing.funny. :laugh:

Oh my! I just love bats.

I've tried to take part in NaNoWriMo about three or four times. Last year was my best shot but I still ended up getting more and more behind schedule and then ran out of plot ideas and yeah... My problem is, I rule at writing introductions and first parts. Honestly, I'm great at setting the mood and describing the scene…
