This is a fascinating sociological study going on here on MFP! This site is awesome! LOL

Am I the only woman under 35 who thinks men should look like men and women should look like women? I really don't understand men or women wanting to be completely bare, especially "down there". Chest hair on men is such a turn on. Mmmm. I am not a fan of lots of back hair, but it's also not a total deal breaker. We should…

I totally feel you tonight. All day I've been feeling alone and sad. When the people you love can't be around it eventually takes a toll. But we'll be better tomorrow, because we have to be =) Maybe you should call a friend just to say "hi" and know you aren't really alone. Just a thought. Best of luck and hugs

I think it certainly may have real world consequences. For example, if one is obese they may be more likely to get passed up for a promotion (No article to back this up, just perception). If someone loses weight and remains at the same company, the next time promotion time comes up, no matter how thin that person has…

LOL I don't know. I kind of like this discussion. haha:laugh:

[/quote] It is pretty, though. The mirror is lying! Take that thing away, and know you're the world's best dancer. Because if we can't lie to ourselves for our own good, who can we lie to? :laugh: By the way, not only am I the world's best dancer when there's no mirror, I'm also the world's best singer, it's just that…

30 in 3 days! Yikes!!

I agree with everything you said! Thank you and you're welcome. lol Seriously, though. I'm on OKCupid and I feel like sometimes there is too much information at the beginning and, when you finally do meet that person, and they don't exactly match their profile, it can be...disconcerting? But that's not supposed to be the…

Wahahaha! Oh to be a man...

I understand! I have a lot of responses from guys looking for a One Night 'relationship." I just don't respond. Either someone's going to really like me or they won't but I am DONE with selling myself short because I am overweight. But the convent idea is always in the back of my head, too. =)

Barcode def. makes things easier. Eating out at non-chain restaurants is still hard when it comes to calculating calories. Oh well. I just do best guess and hope I UNDERestimated

Thank you for your stories and your support everyone *hugs*

I am still a couple pounds over 300. I've lost about 19 pounds on the suggested calories for 1 1/2 pounds/week loss. (about 1980 then down to about 1850) It is coming off VERY slowly right now, so I am trying to focus more on exercise, general health, and inches. Have you taken your measurements yet? I noticed that even…

Those are great. So far for me it's being able to get up from the bath much more quickly and noticing that this odd extra bit of flab on my arms had gone away. And walking is so much easier (most days)!

I forgot to add that I'm 5'4", female, no kids, from California...in case you needed that info ;)

That's great! If you want to add me I'd like the support and I'd be willing to give support as well. I have a goal weight loss of about 55lbs right now but one day I'd like to see 200-ish lbs again (a 106lb weight loss) Good luck to you

Hi If you want to add me I'd appreciate that. We have similar amounts to lose, so that helps too, I think.

You really have to taste them to know but...I guess the closest thing I can think of is fig without the seedy grittiness. Or maybe sweet sticky raisins.

Here here! You made me happy with that post. Someone telling it like it is! Also, I love your picture. hehe nuts!

YAY! Thank you for posting this. I was getting very upset by all these people who think it's fine/cool/funny to make fun of fat people and children. I don't find six-packs attractive, should I go around making fun of all the people with pictures of their abs on display? Some people...

I had to look it up too. It's "Non Scale Victory". Don't we all love those?
