Ok I'm not going to take anymore friend requests! As much as I like having a lot of friends on here, I just got about 50 requests and I was expecting maybe 10 at most. lol, I'm a little overwhelmed! (I got you Neapata!)

OMG That's so funny! How tall are you? I'm 5'3"

I go to anime conventions <3 and I cosplay Also I love shows like Dr Who and The Big Bang Theory

It depends on the day for me,I eat breakfast, then at one of my jobs I'm allowed to eat while working so I usually eat when I first get there, then another meal about halfway through my shift, and another when I get home. So usually 3-4 meals a day and various snacks, very rarely I'll only eat 2.

I lost 30 pounds before, so I used it as my motivation when I gained 10 pounds of it back last semester. I kept asking myself, "Why would I lose all this weight, just to gain it back? Might as well throw all that hard work out the window!"

I've heard of a 2 hour rule, where you don't eat anything 2 hours before bed time.

I weight myself once every day in the morning, but I had to train myself to not freak if I gain weight, and just accept it. Personally, think it's more accurate because then I can get an average for the week rather than just that specific number for that day.

I think outside is better, since you're running with your own speed and not a machines speed. I would like to run outside, however I can not pace myself to save the life of me, so I stick with the treadmill. :/

Buy them when they're green, this is when they're not ripe. The reason being is that when they become ripe, they become softer, as they become softer they're more likely to get bruised. So it's better to get them early and they're less likely to get bruised in your home than the store. When they become ripe they will…

When I get avocados, I only eat 1/4 of them a day, which is nice because it lasts for 4 days! Usually it's small to medium at most. Also I used this video, and I think his method works well! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrUXRPgWrW4

Melruiz5, you look fantastic and you're doing a great job! :D I quoted this part because I felt it needed to be said once again, that you were actually running when you never thought you'd see the day when you could--this gives ME motivation! So thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work! :)

Natural sugars in fruit I'm not to worried about. Whole sugars (fruit) is 10 times better than refined sugars (candy). However, I also don't have health problems where I would need to watch my sugar intake, like diabetes.

The next big con that I'm going to for 2012 will be Colossalcon in Ohio! Can't wait, although I am a little upset that my boyfriend might not be able to come with me because of work :(

Yes, I usually get the "you look fine, stop worrying about it." Excuse me? This one sentence is what made me gain 50 pounds out of high school! This idea that it's ok if you gain a pound or two here or there and not do anything to take it back off is what got me at unhealthy weight to begin with! Some of these people I…

It's sedentary--I really wasn't sure whether to put sedentary or lightly active because I'm really between the two. I have 2 jobs, one is a desk job (lots of sitting), the other is at a gas station (lots of standing, some days lifting and other movements) I work 3 days at each job, so 6 days a week. The Lightly active says…

Congrats! The first time I lost weight I lost 30 pounds. I had gone to Victoria Secret to get new bras and the girl who measured was actually kind of snotty to me. I could tell she was "unimpressed" with my weight loss and was like, "well you probably lost it in your boobs, that's usually the first thing to go," in her…

OK, I'll make it public (Just for a couple of days) And yes I do exercise!

EXACTLY. I'm also pissed that her family is actually supporting this ridiculous request. Why aren't they telling her not to do surgery? Isn't she more likely to die on the operation table because of her weight as well?

That's so great! I might look into your routine...

I don't have an actual recipe but this might help on your food making adventures: http://www.supercook.com/

Fast food, I do end up eating some once a week but I usually plan my meal in advance so I don't go over on my calories. I also will eat healthier options if available. Also frosting or cakes, actually I crave them more often than I actually eat them. We have 3 tubs of frosting in my apartment that aren't even open :)

I log almost daily. I know everyone says not to, but I feel a I get a more accuarate reading (average) for that week than only weighing myself once a week. I've also taught myself not to freak out if I gained because fluxuation is normal.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who stalks other people. ;) I just like looking at those who post success pics in their profile, it's a good motivation.

Thanks for asking this question! I also am having trouble losing inches in my thighs. I'm definitely going to try the suggestions from this topic!

The other thing is that the article says that she gained 19 pounds while doing a burlesque show, which I am assuming has her exercising? Isn't it possible that she gained muscle and not fat?

I was thinking that too! I made a game of "how many things can you find wrong with this article/commercial/advertisement" one of my favorite is hydroxycut: they use fit actors (including the doctor) and take their pictures in front of a white backdrop, and why? Because it's easier to photoshop their pictures! However now…

I agree. The other thing since the the bmi scales doesn't account for large amounts muscle, I personally still use it as a guideline rather than "this is exactly what/where you are."

I asked my doctor when I first went on the pill when I was 19 if it would make me gain weight, she said that it was kind of a myth. She said some women gained weight because that pill or other birth control was not right for their bodies. I did gain a little weight--but that was my own fault. I didn't exercise nor did eat…

They don't have anything either.

This or if I'm working at the gas station I'll eat honey roasted peanuts so I can get my sweet fix. The other thing option (this is if I have a *horrible* sugar craving) I do is I'll get something like the zebra cakes that have 2 in one bag, I'll eat one and give one to a co-worker.
