True. I've never been to Moscow

learn ot ignore the creeps - there are always people on those sites that are only looking for a quick hookup. consider joining a site or group for an interest that you have. that way you know that any relationship that grows out of it, you'll have that interest in common. I met my fiancé on a fan website for Robert…

anyone?

bump?

physically? Tall. My fiancé is 6'6 so...

154 cm or 5'1 and I'm at goal: range 55-57 kg or 121-126 lb

is your fat allowance the MFP standard? because you can tweak those - for instance, I set my percentages of carbs-fat-protein to much lower carbs and higher fat and protein because 1) I never hit the carbs anyways and 2) I wanted to challenge myself on the protein.

just to calm you down a little bit: if the day comes and he hasn't proposed, it could be that he got too nervous and panicked. Or that he's still waiting for the perfect moment. But yes, to me also it seems like he's getting ready to ask you, whether now or sometime in the near future. Just... please don't put a deadline…

It's probably just a daily am/pm fluctuation, I wouldn't worry about it. Actually, it depends a lot on what kind of person you are - if you tend to obsess too much about your scale, then the best thingwould be to just weight yourself once a week - say, Friday morning before getting dressed. Another approach that you can…

Firstly, you're definitely at the right place. Try looking for some ED support groups, there are several on here, the people who are going through what you're going through can be a huge support. However I think you're dealing with the symptoms instead of the cause right now. If you can, please seek help from a…

uhh. no; that's a huge generalization. Eating around 2000 kcal per day got me obese because I'm 5'1 tall, on an extremely sedentary job and my current BMR, now that I'm in the top half of the "normal" weight range is 1250. Every person is different - tall, short, skinny, fat, active or in a wheelchair... everyone is…

I think the friends factor is an important one. He sees how other households operate and he wants the same (perceived) freedoms. This is definitely something you can and probably should talk to him about; as it will also be a factor when he gets older: But other kids have longer curfews, but other kids can play video games…

my mental image of myself as not sporty, not fit, not coordinated. Sure, the food choices were hard too, but my mind took the longest to convince and it still reverts to the old ways.

Doe in headlights (oh the flash, it hurts the eyes!)

er, I meant, not the "sprint" bit, but the whole thing including the walking parts.

hehe, the HIIT's were amazing at getting my condition better. at the gym, when I first joined, my PI was like 11 (anything under 10 is: why aren't you in a wheelchair you're so out of shape) and for about 2 years it kept hovering just under 20 (20 to 30 is the "normal" range I think; and 30 to 40 is good shape where above…

weigths are nice, they startle your body in a good way. and they're much less boring than just cardio. But if you don't feel like joining a gym you can do your own HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) - the idea is to do a minute of your standard excercise (walk), then 10 seconds as hard as you can (sprint), then a…

ah, pizza... I had toko (Indonesian food) yesterday. I put it in calories as about a thousand but I'm afraid it's more as I dont' know exactly what they cook with. However, it's a family-owned place and the food is delicious so who cares if I'm diligent on most other days :D as for portion sizes and things you eat: you get…

blasphemy! I'm a huge fan of the books and they followed the books as they should have. Although I do wish they'd not split the Hobbit up - seriously, it's one book and it was written for kids. if you were to make a thread "movies where books were better" then The Princess Bride and the LotR/Hobbit movies would probably be…
-
A lot has already been said, but I have a few to add: that last Pirates of the Carribean movie that was split in two - omigod how boring was that?!?!? Batman reboot with Christian Bale. the guy can't enunciate and his emotive capacity might be surpassed by Kristen Stewart. I have no idea what he's saying, there's no…

people who type business emails as if they're texting their teenage crush people who don't say their name and company when calling our company (seriously. you will NEVER get put straight through to the CEO; and no, we will NOT give you the cell number either) sleazeballs who think that gym is the place to pick up…

for your height, it looks like you're already in the "normal" weight range; this may make your progress slower as the body generally loses a percentage of weight - so; if you were say 200 lb and wanted to lose 20 lb in 6 months then that'd be 10% of your body weight; but if you're 100 lb and want to lose 20 lb within 6…

I just read one! Big Girl by Danielle Steele - it's not your standard romance story, really; even though you'd assume so from the author, it's more a story of sibling love and rivalry and what insane damage parents can do without ever meaning to.

It depends on the situation. For my previous job I never wore anything more than just eyeliner and mascara; but then that was the kind of job where you could show up in sweatpants, your hair in a ponytail and nobody cared. Not that I went quite that far, but my usual work attire *was* jeans and sneakers with a casual…

oh they will change taste too, no worries. By now doughnuts taste to me like... well, like solidified lard with sugar on top. the joy of reading the caloric content of strawberries and eating a pound of them in one go while tossing away that banana. I don't like bananas anyways, so yay!

Not only am I still counting calories almost 500 days in a row; every day (though ok, on some days I guesstimate) - now that I'm on maintenance I also enter my weight every day, because females have certain monthly fluctuations and I want to be able to tell myself rationally: look, you went through this a month ago and two…
-
hmm, you're still counting the calories - both the spent and the eaten ones? In the gym, do you focus on cardio or weights? because - and this can be highly personal, I'll just say how it is for me - cardio makes me absolutely ravenous. While weights replace your fat with muscle; so it's quite possible that you're slimmer…

for today "I got life" by Nina Simone. No matter how bad your day is, that song will make you feel better. as for long-term help with the 3 pounds: have you lost the rest of the weight using the same technique? If so, it might be worthwhile to shake things up a bit. If you're already trying different new things, then maybe…

wut? it's by The Police, more specifically by Sting; and it's about stalking people. Book of Love, the Peter Gabriel version
