yes, absolutely :/ I'm never happy with my body, ever XD

you're amazing! :D

1. I have a feeling you're OP, and bored tonight. ---- nah that isn't me XD

Seems harsh to judge others about something you haven't experienced yourself. Aren't we all here for the same reason? I am here for information and support on my weight loss journey, not to judge someone else if they aren't succeeding. Seems like those folks might need more support not less. Certainly ridicule is not going…

From the [admittedly brief] research I've done on the topic, most of what causes weight gain in people using certain medications is an increase in appetite. Antidepressants and Diabetes medications most notably cause an increase in appetite, which in turn takes a day where you feel just as sated with food that you no…

and i think what the OP means is what is exactly stated in the OP: no one wakes up overnight and finds themself 30+ pounds overweight. unless of course they were in some type of coma.THIS. Everybody seems a little riled up at my post, like I'm being judgmental. I was just trying to clear the air, and I still don't believe…
-
hm yeah, I guess that makes sense :D metabolic rate decrease makes scientific sense, but I still don;t see how 50 or so pounds can be gained from being on a shot? I'd cut my intake immediately if I noticed a 5-10 pound gain even :/

Definitely "Nuclear" as "NucUlar" and "Water" pronounced 'wooder" I live in PA and it's sort of how people pronounce 'water", for whatever reason.

Honestly, I think people are made UNCOMFORTABLE on a very deep level by people who choose to eat ethically. It's just, ya know, right there in your face, "I don't gobble down cheeseburgers, because I realize that it is unfair to the earth and unfair to living creatures to sacrifice their well=being for my own whims." So,…

You know, that makes an awful lot of sense! Depriving myself for so long has got to be part of what makes me so miserable and cranky while dieting; not only am I always hungry, but I must constantly say "No, I can't have pizza with you guys" or "no, I'm not eating any of your chips :C" I think it WILL be rejuvenating to…
-
Yeah you're right! :D Cookies and chips it is! This'll be a nice treat!

Ya know, this may sound mean, but I agree! I think people use this "weight loss requires all these complicated tricks" things to give themselves an EXCUSE not to try to lose weight. "Oh sure, she looks good but she probably has a personal trainer and everything to help her lose weight, because it's so complicated" kinda…

Exactly what I mean! : )

Oh control, yes! I'm talking about crazy fad diets, where you eat teeny tiny amounts of carbs, or no carbs at all, and people seem to think it will result in healthy, permanent weight loss! Also, I'm mainly talking about healthy people who start diets, not people with pre-existing medical conditions that require special…

CANTALOUPE. FREAKIN'. CANTALOUPE. For a mere 200 or so calories, a whole medium Cantaloupe is a scrumptious, juicy, and refreshing little melon PACKED with vitamins C and A, and it's a great source of fiber! So, it;s mainly water, AND it's high-fiber! Definitely keeps away the hunger until my next meal, and it refreshes me…

I don't know where people get this hair-brained idea that "omg carbs are bad for you,and they MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT!!11!1" Carbs are the building blocks of pure energy, and when you eat the right ones, they boost your mood, keep you full, and thus help you LOSE weight. Sure, eating donuts and white bread IS bad for you, but…

"I really want to LOOSE some weight!" When I see this, it makes me want to remove my eyeballs with a spoon.
-
No one should have to feel "thankful" that they never LET themselves get to such an unhealthy weight. Luck has absolutely nothing to do with weight, especially when we're talking morbid obesity. Just saying. You are your choices, and your weight is your fault unless you are the 0.98% of the population who has a rare…

Watch the documentary "Forks over Knives" and actually absorb the staggering scientific evidence that animal matter makes us sick. Then maybe we'll talk. That being said, people who approach other people and berate them for what they are eating really, really need to find something more constructive to do with their lives.

Thanks everybody! From what I can tell from my family, I shouldn't lose more than MAYBE a cup. So hopefully all will go well! The five pounds I have lost so far have been in my belly and arms mainly, so my chest has stayed the same, as far as I can say at this point. XD Thanks so much everyone~! <3

if I posted this, it obviously matters to me, so. yes? ;)

Macs are superior systems because they are simply BUILT BETTER. They are built to last, and they are built to do it beautifully, at that. ;) My friend received an older Macbook for her graduation gift. It is now close to six years old and runs WAAAY faster, and can run more programs at once than my mom's one year old HP…
