I recently got a pair at Old Navy (online in the plus section) and looooooove them. Not too pricy either.

I'm hovering at 301 and started higher than you and have celebrated what I've lost. Do I still sometimes have days like that? Yes, and I'm sure we all do -- regardless of size. Just remind yourself how far you've come. :)

I was very young, only 13. I was in school taking ISTEP, a standardized test for my state, when the school went on lock down, no one could enter and no one could leave. They were afraid a nearby government building could be targeted. The teacher I was with didn't want to tell us anything but my history teacher, who I still…

I'm a C25K grad. However, I did not complete it in the 9 week period. If I really struggled then I simply repeated that week. Also, don't think of it as running. Jog. If you take off like someone is chasing you then you will get winded much faster and risk hurting yourself. Its not a race. :) It will get easier as time…

Saving for later. Thanks!

"You have nothing to be upset about." Ugh. But men and women are both nonsensical creatures and just when we think we get each other something new pops up that makes us confused all over again. Best to just roll with it.

The Mass Effect series (even with the ending of stupid, I ignore it) Skyrim The Old Republic Civilization V Looking forward to Assassin's Creed in October. :)

Foreigner. <3

Never more than a quick swipe of liquid black eyeliner and mascara. Maybe some loose powder if my skin is greasy that day. More often than not I go without. I find that people who pile on the makeup actually look older. I spend more time taking care of my skin than covering it up.

Only when I overate. When I started have normal sized meals (around 500 or less cal) regularly through out the day and snacks inbetween I started feeling full and hungry. My daily is 1800 so I usually do 300 or less for breakfast, 500 or less for lunch, and 600 or less for dinner with snacks inbetween.

Those trucks that carry cars....they are double deckers and carry 8-10 cars on them to dealerships and whatnot. I'm paranoid that one of them will fall off the back or side and crush me as I'm driving/being driven.

USA - Indiana, here (where the last Superbowl was held). I'd say the food we are most known for are giant, bigger than your head, breaded tenderloin sandwiches. That and sugar cream pie -- butter, maple sugar, and vanilla cream. There are a few major food companies here; Orville Redenbacher (popcorn), Wonder Bread, and Red…

+1 for generic ortho tri cyclen. IUDs are not good if you'd never been pregnant. I haven't seen any side effects with what I'm taking.

To Kill a Mockingbird and Grapes of Wrath. Had to read A Separate Peace for school and didn't like until I had some distance. Seriously though I probably had To Kill a Mockingbird on my summer reading list (or in class reading list) three or four times. Luckily for me, I had already read several that were required reading…

If your hair gets sweaty then wash your hair without shampoo -- just water at night. Then wash it in the morning with your usual stuff. Though I don't recommend washing it everyday. Try a dry shampoo from Bed Head or Not Your Mothers, they work wonders!

Zero. I don't like it.

I have one of those tall aluminum water bottles and I just need to drink 3 a day to get up to eight 8oz glasses. I sip it during the day and drink majority of it with meals. You gotta start someone. Try upping your daily intake to 6, then 7, then 8 and be then maybe you'll be used to it and it won't be such a struggle.

Not for me. However for some, good in theory. From what I've heard someone always ends up being jealous or it turns into someone being a third wheel.

INTJ - Photographer and writer.

Dove chocolate individually wrapped squares, Herseys had for a while (not sure if they still do) chocolate sticks that weren't too bad if you had one or two, Trader Joe's chocolate nibs, etc.

Neither of these are necessarily better...just depends on the mood. :) Song: Love Song Original: The Cure Best Cover (there are a zillion): 311 Song: Boys of Summer Original: Don Henley Cover: The Ataris

I am totally an early morning exerciser. I find if I wait until after I eat I feel sluggish and sloshy. Heh. I gives me more energy throughout the day, if I do it in the afternoon/evening then I just feel tired.

5'9 1/2" and my goal is 160. I'm going to reevaluate when I get there.

Yes, nearly out of them now and into the 200s.... feel free to add!

Don't think of it as a diet, a diet implies you intend to stop eating this way someday. Its a life style change. That said, you don't have to cut out things you like 100%. Do I still have the sweets I like? Yes, I log it and make sure it fits into my daily calorie intake and its every once in a while not all the time. If…

I eat chocolate Cheerios to get my chocolate fix. :)

5 Guys...so good, so bad!

Cheesecake Factory. Seriously. In the "Eat This, Not That" book they have like 3 or 4 dishes under the top 20 worst (calorie and nutrient) dishes in the US.

Pasta sauce!

I've been really happy with my Weight Watchers scale, it wasn't too expensive either. If you are looking for a body composition scale those will be more pricy, mine is just the basic digital. And don't be freaked out by the glass ones, they are sturdy. :)
