Hi there, I'm Lauren from New Jersey! 22 years old and just graduated college. Feel free to add me!! :)

My guild leader is in his 50s, our raid leader is in his 20s (my age) and everybody else is in between. Most seem to be mid 20s to early 30s. I don't think there's a "too old" as long as the person knows how to play and isn't a weirdo.

I'd say I'm like Leonard... pretty dorky but not *completely* socially awkward :)

Hi all, My name is Lauren, I'm 22, live in the NJ area and just graduated college. 5'9", 140 lbs. My fitness goals are mostly trying to get stronger and more athletic at this point, as I've been a weakling my whole life. Surely due in part to the cumulative months sitting in front of the computer :) I've been doing…

GLaDOS is an incredibly endearing villain. Gotta say my favorite villain of all time is Darth Vader though. If the question were: "Most terrifying villain?" I'd say creepers.

MoP looks like it will have some cool new content. I was in a high end raiding guild up until about 2 months ago when I got bored to death of Dragon Soul-- that raid sucks lol. Been spending the 12 hours a week I would've been raiding going to the gym instead :P I'm planning on raiding again when MoP comes out though,…

I wear my HRM to Body Pump class and its matches dead on what Gold's Gym says is the average calorie burn for the class.

Those are the best condoms ever. Seriously, if I was going to hook up with a guy and he pulled one of those out I would die.

Everything in moderation :) you definitely don't have to give up all your coffee.

Try not to stress too much, wisdom teeth surgery is no big deal :) Most people, as far as I can tell, have to get them removed. The second they turn that anesthesia on it's lights out and you won't feel or remember a thing. For me the recovery was not bad at all either. Good luck!

MOOOOOOAR LOLZ!

I've always dated guys who are my height or just an inch or two taller, just because it's worked out that way. I have this one friend who was crazy about me-- sweet and funny guy, but he was about a foot shorter than me... call me shallow but that made him seem much less attractive, and I know myself well enough to realize…

I try to stay under my sodium limit too and admittedly it's very hard, especially if you eat out or any prepackaged foods. In my efforts, I've bought unsalted tortilla chips, use spices, garlic, onions, hot peppers, etc. when cooking and salt-free seasoning mixes (Mrs. Dash brand has a bunch), snack on low or no sodium…

I can always use more similarly lofty heighted friends! :D

Chelle you're the best! Thanks sooo much for the heads up about the free cookbook-- I just downloaded it, 11pm here in EST land, and am so glad I decided to check the forums tonight! :love:

Hmm, I had no idea it was today... must have been promoted a lot more in past years.

I try to log as accurately as possible. I still ate whatever I ate, whether I log it or not, and if something about my diet is or isn't working, I want to be able to look back and figure out why. There's really no reason to lie in the diary-- certainly won't help you get better results.

I know, I loooooove my gym. I'm so spoiled, if I ever have to leave and join another gym I'm going to be all, "What do you mean you don't have a movie theatre?!?"

I clicked on this topic thinking the magic bullet was not a blender... oops, lol. But it just so happens I do need a blender :drinker:

I'm the opposite, used to be really shy about it, now I don't really care. Although I do still prefer to use the cardio machines in the "cinema room" at my gym-- it has a movie theatre size screen and they play movies constantly throughout the day... makes me a little less self-conscious because the room is fairly dark and…

I second shirataki noodles! Also ate them for dinner last night and I felt very full the rest of the night.

Haha I wouldn't mind having an MFP "boyfriend", why not :P

Definitely Jake Gyllenhaal!

I LOVE kale, it's my fave veggie. I like to saute mine, add mushrooms, garlic, a little chicken broth, maybe a splash of port wine and lemon juice, and lots of black pepper. It's also great tossed into pasta dishes or brothy soups. I tried making my own kale chips once but they didn't turn out so great. However, I love…

All these awesome replies with so many ways to eat/use yogurt-- I can't wait to try! Gotta say my favorite brand is Chobani, followed by Oikos. I like the non-fat fruit flavors, or plain with a little honey or stevia mixed in. Plain is my new sub for sour cream too--works so well! As I type this I'm eating a Siggi's…

This is really sad :( I feel bad for her 2 kids! If anorexia is the desire to be as skinny as possible, and this is the exact opposite, surely it can be considered a psychological disorder as well. I hope she gets help before it's too late.

Fantastic results! Congratulations, you earned it!

I've heard great things about "The New Rules of Lifting for Women"-- I really want to read it! For those who have read it, random question: are there a lot of pictures/diagrams? I have a Nook, but I find it doesn't work great for books with pictures. Thanks!

I wore a size 2 in most brands at 125 lbs, but I'm a little taller at 5'9".

:drinker: I would date someone of a different religious belief as long as we didn't fight about it. If it caused a lot of conflict, I would consider it a good reason to break up.
