that's wonderful :) congrats!

yeah that is good :)

seriously. chill it, people. take a breath.

things are going well for me. water intake is great, mostly 8 glasses/dy, had a couple 10 or 12 glass days thrown in there. having fruit or veg 2-3x/dy. Worked out 2x last week, 1x so far this week- goal is 3. As for the pushups and abs, my abs are up to 4 sets of 50, started at 4 sets of 30. I upped the pushups and am…

also completely jealous!!! :) a lot of my fav metal bands are from Scandinavia, Finland, etc., would love to go to a European festival to see them! someday! I've been in school for the past 2 years now (I live in Virginia, USA) so my vaca's have involved driving back up to MD and PA to see my bf's and my families for the…

LOL yeah this post might want to watch out! ;)

there we go! :happy: LET'S GO BIRDS!!! :drinker:

I'm almost getting done my Master's in molecular bio and genetics (my bach is in neuroscience) and hopefully I will get a job working in a lab at UVA in Charlottesville, VA. just got an interview today! :D

:noway: that's pretty major! hard to turn that down. I'm proud because today I got a job interview :D School's over soon so that is a relief!

good points. probably why i have more guy friends. who wants to deal with crap from other girls all day? annoying!

I also agree with this viewpoint. As I've gotten more involved with the website (I'm not much of a commenter but I've started to reply to posts and whatnot and really check up on my friends) I've found that I have gotten more of a relationship with my friends on my list and I don't feel that I could really support a large…

I always try to look them up online. I find that sometimes the nutritrional section can be hard to find on the restaurant's website, so if that doesn't work then I just google "[restaurant] nutritional information" and I'll get a link to it. sometimes the MFP entries come up on google too, so maybe search the food…

congratulations :D

I tend to workout at night, so it just depends if I'm still hungry. I think it's nice to see a larger deficit :), but if I'm hungry, I will have some. And this is important for me, bc hunger will wake me up (I hate that!) so I have to make sure I'm not hungry (don't have to be overly full) to sleep through the night. I got…

new dress as well, or just discovering that I can fit into the ones I have again :laugh: but I'll get a fun new tight one for my bf to gawk at lol and some new tall boots to go with it. I recently discovered that people make "wide-calf" boots, which was life-changing. I thought I'd never be able to wear boots! :happy:

yeah I've started to hear it from my bf, "are you STILL on that site??" lol it is totally addicting!

wow, a totally different person there in the "After" pics. Congratulations on the rewards of your hard work :D

oh, and this too. double YUM!! :D

berries- any. straw-, blue-, rasp-, black-, cherries (is the cherry a berry? :)....love 'em. i'd eat them by the boxes if they weren't so expensive :)

I biked to a job occasionally but there was a gym (of which I was a member) close enough that I could leave my bike at work and walk over for a shower. The baby wipes sound like a good idea; also, you could just take a walk around the block or something when you get there, to let your body temp get back down.

such a cool thread. I was reading about people needing the fan on, even in winter, and it reminded me- I need covers, even in the most humid, horribly hot summer night- I will have at least the sheet on. Somewhere I will strike a balance between what clothes I'm wearing and how many covers, but I WILL have the covers on :)…

me too! I would do it and always freak my family out at dinner LOL

hahaha I know it's the oddest compulsion but it's like I have to physically admire how perfect it came out! :D

When I get a fish filet at McDonald's, I always have to pat the bun because it's warm and there are no wrinkles in it and it looks perfect, just like the picture. There's only about 2 times I've gotten a filet with a wrinkle in the bun. It's to the point where people will comment on it and joke that, "oh, you have to touch…

so cool!!!

Butch (easy part): -thanks to working in restaurants or pizza places with mostly menfolk, I can take any masochistic remark you throw at me, and I probably laugh at way too many of them ;) -Most of my friends or roommates are/have been guys (me talking to a girl usually ends up feeling like a bad date you can't wait to…

When I buy clothes for fun, I like to buy them in other styles or colors that I wouldn't usually, make it stand out a little. I would go for the pink :)

Week 1 progress- calistenics are going well, I have increased my pushups from 2 sets of 15 and 1 of 20, to 2 sets of 25 which is big for me since I hate pushups :) I increased the crunches as well from 100 to 120, 4 sets of 30. My water intake has been great, 8 per day, and 1 day I even had 12 glasses. I have been sure to…

thanks everyone! love the graphic too! definitely helpful.

I know there is www.runningintheusa.com and www.trifind.com (for triathlons) depending on what you are looking for. Also you could just try googing "races in [your area]", or as suggested above, stores.
