So, I'm actually getting emotional reading everyone's transparent and thought provoking posts. I'm NOT alone after all!

whoops, that was supposed to read 1199

then again, mfp will give you this message if you eat only 1 calorie less than your daily suggested. i literally got it when i had 1999 calories logged and my goal is 1200. lets be reasonable.

backyard = "back - ee- ard"

i think most people have that problem especially with the elliptical since your foot is not coming completely off the pedal, it doesnt allow time for the blood to return to your foot. I alternate 10-15min going forward then reverse and go backward for 5 min - i find this works without stopping my workout.

Had the same problem. Determined: yes, its me. solution: put yourself in his shoes.

is that your husband in the pic with you? b/c you're hotter than him anyway.

a wedding dress j/k MFP friends - dont read too much into that lol

anything by LMFAO, and I get really pumped whenever I hear Skrillex!! ;)

weights and strength training! its great to do cardio and eat well, but if you dont incorporate strength training in your weight loss to tone yourself, you will end up a "skinny - flabby". you dont have to be a power-lifter, just make sure you're toning as you go

Some one posted this link on another thread a month ago. It was enlightening... http://www.mybodygallery.com/photos-8283-body-shape.htm it shows you annon pics of people with the same specs as you, so you can get an objective idea of what someone like you looks like

that i feel guilty about "letting MFP down" if i come in over my calories that day

i just started MFP recently but prior to finding this great site i lost about 20 lbs, but that wasnt without great hardship. my mind set when i first started losing weight was that anything is better than nothing. 10 minutes to walk around the block instead of 10 minutes on the couch is something. you will eventually work…

agreed. my boyfriend who is super fit turned me on to HIIT training. Its about quality not quantity. you can achieve great results in less time. what i love about it is that i tend to feel the results for a while afterwards. I prefer the elliptical because i have a bad knee, but on the off-chance that i have to use a…

I just got these huge tortoiseshell geek-chic glasses. my BF loves them and i get so many compliments. im happy with them!

i do strength training too, according to what i think is good (5x week - upper, lower, back, core, full body) but i wonder if i should up the weights to prevent the problem of loose skin...

Agreed. These are so disgusting. Its like theyre not even actually food. i used to gag when i ate them. The only way i could manage to get them down were to actually "dry" them out in the oven then toss them dry with low fat parm and spices - which negated the whole thing.

i swear by lululemon headbands. im not a fan of the "non-slip" ones as they pull at my hair, but i can't find the old-school ones anymore. Theyre my fav - great for keeping the hair off my face and sweat absorb-tion during cardio!

You know what, I completely get what you mean. While I was in university my friends/roomies were all very pretty and thin, and i think that might have been what actually caused me to gain weight! The fact that i saw them constantly and maybe thought i looked more like them than i did. This is a good idea, I want to make…

I completely agree with the genetics theories. I have never ever had any boobs. No exageration. I have been wearing (and I use the term loosely) an A cup my whole life. And I am not a "petite" woman. Even when I gained a lot of weight 2 years ago (about 35lbs), They didnt get bigger. then i lost that weight. They didnt get…
