Um.. really? What's wrong with short dudes? How would it feel if some guy said he wouldn't date you because you were too tall? Too short. Too big boned. Too narrow-shouldered. Your eyes were too green. Your hair was too light. I mean... I understand preference, but seriously? I don't understand how anyone could be so…

It's been a long time since I've watched it but Batman. His pushups and stuff in the training montage make me feel puny. :P

That's awesome on your weight loss so far. Congratulations! MFP really is helpful with lifestyle changes instead of just 'dieting.' I love this place. :)

Hello! I don't know many healthy recipes or anything but I try to always be supportive and help where I can. So if you want to add me, feel free. Best luck on your journey! :)

Hmm, soup does sound like a good idea. Unfortunately I have no recipes to share (not a cook, myself). But one idea is if you just wanted to do something different maybe you could do a sandwich on whole wheat bread with some chopped up chicken and light mayonnaise mixed up? I don't know if that's an option but I like it now…

Bump. :P

I'm also in university! Actually in class right now or I'd write more, LOL. Mind if I add you? Maybe we can help each other figure out some good ideas for eating right. :)

I've got about 9 pounds to go. It's exciting. Trying to lose it slowly though so I don't look wrinkly/flabby when I get down there. :(

That's so exciting! Great, great job! Brilliant!

I had somebody pull a face years ago when I bought a box of donuts. But I've never gotten bad reactions from buying healthy stuff. In fact, I've had someone ask me about the almond milk because she wondered if it was really a good substitute. :)

Nice to meet you, Kayla. Mind if I add you? ^_^ Congrats on the wedding on the horizon, that's so exciting!

Congrats, what great progress so far! :D

These all sound so yummy! I'm going to definitely need this list handy in the future. :3

That's a funny question. My first thought is 'same thing I do every other day. Why would it be different just because there were no consequences?' But I thought about it some more and I guess it would at least be TEMPTING to tell this one girl I'm into her. ^^;

What about Healthy Choice soup-in-a-cup? (If a microwave is available at work, that is.) Or even some of the frozen dinners out there by healthy brands can be not too bad. What about a bit of egg salad or something? Or take some hard-boiled eggs and apple slices with peanut butter. Or a baggy of baby carrots or some Greek…

It's easy to fall for people who offer support and love. I'll just say that. :)

Thanks for the review! I can't begin to afford it but I always like to know what's working for people in case some day I have the money. :P

No because my days vary so much, lol. But it's always rewarding to me to see it tell me how much I will be in 5 weeks. It makes me feel like I'm doing something right! :)

I'm about 5"8 (haven't actually gotten my exact height within the last two years and I'm only 18 so... it could be different now. Dunno.) Right now I weigh 139 and I want to get down to 130 but only if it feels healthy as I get closer. If I start to feel any signs that it's not working out for me I'll reassess and probably…

Bumping because I'm also interested. :)

*grin* 8 pages of miles? Here's another one for you! Go go go! :D

You can add me too if you like -- we have about the same amount to lose. I'm trying to get 14 pounds off still. :)

Having a good amount of protein in your diet does help. But let's be honest here, part of it is probably that everybody loves to have some 'yummy' food in their lives. It's not practical to cut it out completely, in my opinion. The key is moderation, not elimination. Another thing that can help is finding foods you find…

I like just a 1/2 cup of normal Great Value brand frozen, sliced and sweetened strawberries. 150 calories, can last a while if you eat slowly. Add a couple tablespoons of light whipped topping for only another 20 or so calories! :)

So far mine have gone down about a cup size. I was sooo excited. I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of them for a long time now. LOL, obviously they're not gone or anything but any difference is a good difference as far as I'm concerned. >>

Cool, it's nice to meet you! I'm 18, live in Kentucky and could use more friends on my list. The more support the better, I always say. I try to keep up with everyone I add and am not afraid to give suggestions or gentle nudges if desired. :)

I don't know if these even count as tacos but my mom always used to put some lean ground beef, sliced tomatoes, lettuce and swiss shredded cheese in a burrito tortilla. I loved it. I'm not sure how many calories but I think it could be 300 or less done right. The tortilla itself is only 120 calories if you get Old El Paso…

Well hi there. :) I've only been on here about a month but it's such a brilliant site. The tools and easy tracking system really helps to keep up with the weight loss. People are generally pretty friendly here too, and support is easy to find. My diary is open to friends if you should ever like to have a look at some of…

Yikes! That sounds painful. Is it something a doctor will need to look at? :/ As for whether that's ever happened to me, um, not that exactly. But I have had a strange injury/scrape type thing on one breast that appeared some time after I started doing running in place more often. Not sure how it happened but now every…

Hey, nice to meet you! I'm 18 years old and would love to add you. The more the merrier! :)
