20?

My dream job is (and always has been) teaching. No career is more rewarding than that, in my opinion. The only thing that's changed in terms of my dream job is what grade I want to teach... it went from high school to middle school in just one semester. I just finished school this past May... now if only I could find a…

I am distantly related to Wilhelm II of Germany (German Emperor during WWI) on my mother's side. This pretty much means that I think I'm related to a lot of European royals because they all liked to intermarry back then. I know I'm related to Queen Victoria somehow because Wilhelm II was her grandson.

Actually, I think she did do some research, but probably all she did was Google "BDSM" and see what came up. I doubt she actually went so far as to talk to people who were a part of the lifestyle or anything because that just would have been too much work... God forbid she actually work hard to make this book about…

Okay, I really wasn't trying to be rude to you. From your reply, I got the impression that you were making the assumption that everyone who disliked this book didn't like it because of the subject. Sorry for misinterpreting what you said. And I never implied anything about anyone else's opinion. If people want to like this…

I realize this too; I know it's fantasy and that it's not real. But, what makes this book so bad in my opinion is that women are going around wanting their own Christian Grey... and that, to me, is very scary.

You shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions about why people dislike this series. I've read a lot of erotica and romance novels, so I have no problem with any sort of sexual stuff. I've read my fair share of BDSM stuff as well. So, I have a lot of stuff to compare this book to and it falls short compared to any erotic…

Yea, I'm aware of that. That just makes it worse, in my opinion. Now I dislike Stephenie Meyer even more because had she not written Twilight then this crappy book would have never been written.

Hahaha... that review was hilarious! I haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey; at least not in its entirety. I tried to, but I only made it halfway through before I just couldn't take it anymore. What I read was just awful. Both in writing and the anti-feminist messages strewn throughout. Ana is pathetic; worse than Bella from…

I think it's pretty good. I went on it a few years ago; lost about 30 pounds in a couple of months with it. I didn't follow the plan exactly... I didn't drink two shakes a day (only drank one for breakfast), I always ate a low calorie, well balanced meal for lunch and dinner. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend following the…

Most chain restaurants offer nutrition information on their website. If you know where you'll be eating tomorrow, go to the place's site tonight and look up the nutritional information and pick what you're going to eat based on that tonight. If the nutritional information isn't available, then take a look at the menu (it…

I don't see anything wrong with them. I eat them a lot and don't go over my sodium count. And, if I do, it's not because of them. Sometimes when I eat them, I'm still under my goal sodium intake by almost 1,000mg. They're good for those days when you just don't feel like cooking. Plus, they're good for portion control. For…

@Acg67: Hmm... thanks for the suggestion; I'll try it. I didn't know they made chewables! They're not sold where I get the liquid. The liquid is expensive and I just bought a whole new bottle and I don't want to waste it, but I think I'll try the chewables once I finish with the bottle. :) Thanks for the suggestion!

There are a few things that I have in case I get a craving for something sweet or chocolatey (usually both for me). Mayfield actually has ice cream bars that are only 100 calories (Brown Cow Juniors). They are really good. Skinny Cow also has a some really yummy low calorie snacks that help me get my chocolate fix. They're…

Wow! That is awesome and you look AMAZING! Your story is truly an inspirational one. :)

Thanks everyone for the replies! The weight lose has slowed down; I've only lost one pound since I posted this thread which is less than it was before. And, it fluctuated between 159 and 158 for a few days before it finally went down and stayed down. :)

I don't think the site has any control with what kind of ads show up on here. But, I use firefox and have the adblock plus add on, so all ads on here are blocked. If you have firefox, I suggest you download the ad-on so you'll no longer see the ads. :)

My starting weight (January 13th 2012) :168 lb My current weight: 160 lb My goal: 150 lb Though, I may change my goal to 145 once I reach 150. And, I'm 23 years old; female and 5'7 1/2.

I'm not sure if this will answer your question, but here's what I can suggest. When I get the temptation to eat something between meals or that is not that healthy for me, I chew a piece of gum. I've found with this method that sometimes I'm just not hungry, I just need to give my mouth something to chew on for awhile.…

Yea, I have a hard time not going over 1200 calories per day too. It's so hard!! I can do pretty well until I see chocolate than I'm a complete goner! Chocolate is really my one weakness. :) I have to keep it out of the house; otherwise, I would never be able resist it. And, I love my pedometer. I don't think I could ever…

Thank you! :) I've just been eating healthier (or at least trying... it's kind of hard since I can't always resist the temptation) and exercising two to three times a week. I also use a pedometer to measure how many steps I take and how many calories I burn per day just by walking. It's amazing to see how many calories I…

Hi! I'm also from Georgia. What part of Georgia are you from? I'm from Roswell. I think it's great that you've lost 35 pounds already; good luck with the last 15 pounds! :) You're training for a half marathon? That's really awesome! Good luck with that too.

Hey! I'm pretty new here too. This place isn't too had once you get used to it though! If you're looking for support on your weight loss journey feel free to add me as a friend! :)
