I started doing Stronglifts 5X5 a month ago. I'm down 5lbs already! If somebody asked me that, I'd tell them I'm planning to cosplay a female World of Warcraft orc. I dunno about any other ladies, but if I -did- get bulky, I'd be showing that stuff off! Good for you, shrugging her off & getting your PR!

Great job!

Have you read Mark's Daily Apple? It's a blog on paleo/primal diets and there are a ton of good articles. If you aren't hungry, you are probably fine. Your body is using your stored energy (fat) like it is supposed to. But, if you do want more calories, riv's suggestions are good.

My BF & I play, mains are on Mok'nathal, but had to let our accounts run out until the income starts coming in again.

2nd vote here! BF had to shave his beard off for work, very sad!

I'm going to ignore the argument and try to be helpful to the OP. ^_^ I've tried Paleo for a month lat year and felt great! It totally went along with the thought I had that it would be healthier to mainly eat meat and vegetables and shun processed foods. I used the blog Mark's Daily Apple as my main reference, along with…

I didn't like beer for the longest time, then last fall I decided I wanted to learn to like it. I looked up a "how to" and went out and got one of each of the 6 kinds on the first list. Worked pretty well, actually! ^_^ Since then, we get 6 packs of random singles that sound interesting for our "stash". My BF & I (once or…

I'm getting married the end of August, so winning Powerball means I could make David Tutera jealous with my amazing wedding! And buy a house and other stuff we need & help out family. ^_^

Hi! Welcome to MFP ^_^ I did pretty well using MFP, lost about 7 pounds I think. Then re-set my ticker when I decided to try the primal blueprint diet I read about on Mark's Daily Apple. Adding friends on here is really helpful, they cheer you on and ask what's up if you're gone too many days.

I've only been doing primal for almost 2 weeks (and logging my food for 3 days, lol), but feel free to add me!

Hi! I just started primal about a week and a half ago. Doing great so far, kinda fun making pot roast w/ carrots in the crock pot overnight for breakfast. I haven't been tracking on here for a month or two, but maybe I'll start again. Mostly came on to track weight. My BF is doing it with me, but he doesn't seem as…

These forums need a [LIKE] button! My boyfriend & I are on Mok'Nathal. I've been playing WoW only 7 months, and just got my Mom hooked too.

I've been weighing myself *almost* every morning (well, on days I think to do it!), but I've only been logging new lows. I figure the lowest weight is probably right, I doubt I was filled with helium while I slept!

You're right, it's not going to get mat at me. ^_^ It's not that I'm afraid to own up to it, It's a break from having to remember to log everything. I might pop in to lurk the forums here on those days, but no need to worry about filling the log all day. When possible I usually try to log everything just after I eat so I…

Easter 2011 - about 215 pounds January 2012 - about 195 pounds Mid March 2012 - about 185 pounds Now down to about 183 pounds - thinking of joining in the monthly swimsuit pic thread... Edits- trying to make the photos fit!

You are fine! For myself, I've decided to give my self a break from logging on the crappyest days of my TOM. Eat anything I want, no worry or guilt! Compensation for feeling awful, lol! ^_^ I've been doing pretty well since I started on here about a month and a half ago, so treating myself doesn't hurt a thing.

Congratulations!

Awesome! Great job!

This. If he will not try to work with you on your marriage or try to accept your chosen religion and lifestyle then you have some red flags there. My ex did not respect me, he got upset at me over any little thing, and made fun of my beliefs. I was with him a year and a half longer than I wanted because my parents insisted…

I switched from Mountain Dew to Diet Dr Pepper, not too bad! The diet Dr Pepper doesn't have a weird diet taste like diet Dew does. Also, my BF & I found Monster Rehab to be pretty good for diet energy drinks. They have 10 cal/serving (20 cal for a 2 serving can). For munchies, I've been eating either jerky or baby carrots…

Hi, I'm Laurie. I'm attending art college to get a degree in Illustration. I do all kinds of stuff, but enjoy working digitally the most. I paint (oil, watercolor, acrylic), draw, knit, sew, spin fiber into yarn, and generally make stuff from other stuff. I have an art blog at LaurieKerrDesign.wordpress.com Nice seeing…

My boyfriend and I are both geeks! We've both played D&D, I'm trying to get him to play Munchkin with me, and we both play World of Warcraft. I think I've almost got him hooked on the new Dr Who, too.

I'm working on my second divorce, second husband was a jerk on top of cultural mis-communication. Last month met back up with my high school sweetheart & it has been wonderful. He accepts me as I am and loves my personal (weird artist) style. Any of my issues I've brought up, he totally understands and was probably through…

450 calories? Not bad for a muffin, actually. Just watch out for the 1000 calorie muffins though....

Congratulations and Happy Birthday!

Bump, to re-read later.

Me too!

I joined MFP 'cuz my boyfriend was on here already ^_^

I decided to take a break from logging food the first few days, just til I stopped feeling crappy. I probably didn't do too bad those few days and don't feel guilty either. And I'm down a pound or two today! Yay!
