Hi Chuck and the other SYSK members! I'm 27, 5'8" and 171 pounds at the moment. I joined MFP at 193 pounds 4 years ago and have used it on and off to help me figure out how to eat healthier, especially portion control. I'm so pleased to be lighter but I'm still overweight and want to first break into the 160's and then get…

Doughnuts, cookies, pizza, cheese, chips!

you look amazing! your arms look much slimmer!

great job!! you look fantastic!

You look adorable, And fit!

What an awesome change! I have only hit 20,000 steps a couple times, you're inspiring me to get more in!

so inspiring! amazing how much you've changed!

I'm 5'8" and 170lb, I mostly wear leggings or tights but my go to jeans are old navy size 12US long sweetheart style. I'm not sure how much it would take to get me in a 10, I can't remember being that size!!

Wow! Great work, you look amazing!

Thank you ladies! You all inspire me as well! I hope to update with progress within the year. New goal is 164lbs, which will drop me out of the overweight bmi, and to put on more muscle with body weight training/possibly lifting. By the way I'm 26 and 5'8", if anyone want to compare their stats.

I did a paper on GMO's at university recently, there is a lot to say for either side, it's really not easy to answer. I am in favor of the research and development to see what's possible, if you search "golden rice" you'll find a product developed with good intentions that may be really helpful to a lot of malnourished…

chocolate mousse, you can get various types around 80-110 kcal per serving

cake/scones/pastries any yummy desserts that go well with a cup of coffee or tea

I like to make coffee ice cubes and then pour milk in with some of them in a glass and wait for them to melt.

had this, this morning and it was lovely http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1507664/cinnamon-porridge-with-banana-and-berries

We ask each other for advice sometimes, maybe because we want a second opinion or to be better informed and I like when my friends pay me compliments but I make my own choices.

I'm 5'8", 182 lbs, clothes are usually US 12/UK 16, jackets are usually a size down, shirts are usually XL sometimes L depending on the cut.

wow! amazing work!

I'm 24, won't judge, and would happily be your mfp friend if you'd like. :)

Nothing really. I only avoid foods I don't like and just have less of the high calorie ones I do like.

Maybe put your favorite physical activity under a hobbies section? It could reflect that you are an active person. Like hiking or biking?

People can grow together or apart emotionally and sexually, but getting married before you even know if you are sexually compatible could mean a whole lot of messy divorce proceedings or a sad sexless marriage that could of been avoided. Although some people are in sexless marriages or are non monogamous, which is fine if…

I didn't read the whole thread but I agree with you on a women's right to control her own sex life and body. Same for the fellas as well.

What if you got married and then realized you are not sexually compatible??? I would not want to put myself in that position! I am not going to tell anyone else what to do though.

A kilocalorie is a 1000 calories, I think it is confusing to use Cal instead of kcal. It would be like using Gram instead of kilograms for 1000 grams. It's MADNESS!!! :D

On an unrelated note calories on packaging are usually kilocalories but say calories, I don't know why they do that.

Im from Maple Valley, and will move back in the next few months so feel free to add me :D

My bf and I are taking my mom to Barcelona, Spain next week. I'm pretty excited to relax after finals.

I make these now, much healthier, no deep frying! http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1803651/

I'm with you on that one.
