You, I want to hug. I know I have problems running because my kneecaps have grown out to the sides (clumsy me fell all the time playing basketball in middle school, and they grew out funny). But if it doesn't bother you, and you're doing it right, then hey, why not! This is also why I don't lift free weights, I'd drop them…

Bacon salt.... Comes in multiple bacon varieties, like applewood, hickory, and cheddar. I know it sounds bad, but tasty!
-
I'd promptly choke on the gum :-P Gum was going to be my suggestion. Also, just...DO something! I play a lot of video games, and while not the healthiest activity, at least it keeps me from being bored and snacking.

Sheldon, a basset hound and sheltie mix. I do wish he'd act more like a basset sometimes! Though he is currently coned.

I know for myself it was the whole constant fear and worry aspect. I'm already a worrywart, and that would have made it so much worse. There are just so many factors and things to consider. Personally, I knew my limitations and that it wasn't a life I could live. I don't think this makes me a terrible person or anything,…

I think it scary and sad when people on both sides (atheists and christians) would instantly rule someone out because of their religion (or lack thereof). I'm about as radical atheist as you can get, and my now husband wanted to get married in his church (Brethren, which is sort of a hippie Mennonite). It took a lot of…

We're going to Alaska...I'll be showing off my lovely self in a jacket. Heh.

Eat. In all seriousness, eat. Some people find that even the recommended 1200 is too little. I was stuck until I actually ate MORE. You are going to mess up your metabolism and deprive your body of vital nutrients if you don't eat enough. It's just a bad idea, especially with how much you're exercising, to be eating that…

My college roommate had a book that "Everything Is Bad For You" and how even breathing will kill you. Just not breathing will kill you faster though...

"Mario Kart Love Song" by a guy on Youtube. It suited us well.
-
Tea! Tea is awesome for you, though it doesn't have as much caffeine as coffee. And so many varieties to choose from.
-
Green and white striped bikini style. It was comfy and cheap.
-
The first pill I was on (Necon), I had no weight issues, but horrendous stomach cramps for two months straight. When I switched to Yaz I ended up gaining about 15 pounds. I exercised like mad and really watched what I ate, and it made absolutely no difference. Everyone reacts differently. I think the only birth control…

Bought a Polar FT7 for about $60 new on eBay. Amazon always has good prices on the Polar watches too if you're going to go with a chest strap then. New Balance has a cheap one too that isn't bad.
-
They say you should give it a few months to even out in your system. With the weight gain thing, they've started saying it's really a placebo effect. Women believe they will gain weight when starting the pill, so they do. Even if their diet hasn't changed. From my experience though (took Yaz for a little under a year) I…

Count me in, I have been holding onto this last five for FAR TOO LONG!
-
All I'm saying, is give peas a chance. Er...peace. Yes. Peace. But seriously though, people really just need to be nicer all around.

I just got married in October, but wanted to wish everyone luck!

Collecting Pez dispensers....
-
Sigh, yes we have apples.... The list is a little strange, sometimes they go for the organic few ingredient items, then they have Campbell's soup. Don't get it. Where's the fruit? Plain old nuts (though there is one pistachio item on there)? At least there's Greek yogurt, that stuff's good. If I want a snack, I go for the…

Your progress is absolutely amazing!
-
Your hair is so cute!
-
The majority of mine are in the chest area. I developed a bit faster than I should have growing up, and now all around there are stretch marks. They're silvery lines at this point, and that's about all they ever faded to. Though mine look like that from the start. Weird.
-
Curry powder!
-
Wait for some of the model year end deals. I bought a Civic this way, and the entirety of my interest came out to $300 (0.9%). Put down as much as you can comfortably, and shop around for trade-ins. Tell them another dealer offered you blah blah, and they'll magically have more to give you.
-
Button down shirts that look awesome but don't fit because I actually have boobs. Sigh. And if I go up a size then it's way too big. DARN YOU AND YOUR LACK OF CHEST ROOM!
-
If it shows you how many calories you've burned, you can just input the number, make up your own exercise under cardio! That's what I do for DDR.
-
A handful of almonds for a snack would help, or avocado, any sort of calorie dense food.
-
Tamago (sweet omelette), ika maki (raw squid roll), spicy tuna...I'm a sucker for a good Philadelphia roll. If you go authentic, it's not that bad for you. If you get it "Americanized" well then...yes.
-
Join the I hate TOM weight gain club...I'll go up anywhere between 4-6 pounds right before a period. Thankfully it comes back off. Try weighing yourself again in a few days after some bloat starts to get off, and then see what damage was really done by the small pig out.
