I'm a quarter Japanese and people often come up to me speaking Spanish... and I'm always asked if I'm Hispanic in any sort of ethnicity/nationality discussion.

Simon supports only Democrats. He also has a University of Florida collar for when it's not election season. He quite enjoys the atmosphere of Gainesville.

Oh my goodness, this is soooo cute!! And such luxurious fur!! lol

Thank you! I actually never really had a thing for orange cats (they just never stuck out) because we had two long haired, all black cats for a while, but when I volunteered at a shelter, Simon chose me! He's definitely my boy and I love him way too hard. This is our big boy Zone... he's about 13 years old now, and he's…

I actually have a "CRAZY CAT LADY" shirt. This is not a joke. I chose a few favorites of my Sims... I have entirely too many... to the point of embarrassment, perhaps. Getting his sun and morning snuggles... Yawwwwnnnn... Browsing the interwebs. Hanging out in a bag, lol. PS: I judge those who do not love cats.

I started lifting weights and upped my cals to 1600... still nothing for about a month. :( It's really depressing and discouraging.

Free grants aren't offered to everyone. The middle class often have the most difficult time paying for college because they make "too much" to get scholarships and not actually enough to pay for college. I would know. Despite graduating at the very top of my class from high school, I was unable to receive anything because…

I find it amusing that your initial post made it sound like anyone who took birth control was an "animal," consequently, I do find it ignorant because taking birth control neither means you're sexually promiscuous (read an "animal") or even sexually active. And, for the record, we're not only talking about children.

Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. Places that teach abstinence only have much higher rates of teen pregnancy. Also, have you ever worked a minimum wage job without assistance (because ironically full time minimum wage is above the poverty threshold) and tried to buy basic necessities such as food,…

Oh. That must mean you'd rather pay for an illegitimate child that is the result of someone unable to purchase their own birth control? Sex is going to happen. We might as well make birth control available than increase an already overwhelming population and be forced to pay for unwanted children in need of welfare…

Ignorant. Sexual activity is not the only reason to take birth control.

I eat a lot of calories in the evening after I work out... If you're going to do it, I would try and just eat healthy things within your calorie goals... I like to eat pistachios, strawberries, grapes, peanut butter/banana on a whole wheat tortilla... things that satisfy my urge to crunch, but don't make me go over my…

Mine is set to 2 lbs per week, but I've pretty steadily lost about 3 lbs per week for the most part. I eat back my exercise calories which was about 300-400 when I first started a couple months ago and is closer to about 500-600 now. My daily limit without exercise is 1390. Edit: It actually took me 3 weeks to see ANY…

It doesn't deter me if it's unavailable, but it definitely draws me in if it is.

Yum!

Super bump!

That is amazing! I can't imagine working so hard and losing all that weight just to have so much skin hanging around... that has got to be frustrating!! You look great, congrats on your hard work!!

I was kind of like that before so I started off using Crystal Light, but I found I just acclimated to plain water after a while. I weaned myself off of diet soda with the Crystal Light and then transitioned into regular water. I would recommend the Crystal Light made with stevia and regular sugar; since they don't have the…

I've also wondered about this because I realized the condition of my feet deteriorated with weight gain after the fact... interested in the replies!

I have a Moving Comfort one similar to their Maia style (mine is old, so I can't remember which it is) but it's one size smaller than I actually wear (band AND cup) and it works well. I like this one because it has interior cups with an underwire like a normal bra as well as an exterior similar to a normal non-underwire…

Your parents' advice really is sound... no matter how ridiculous it sounds, the chances are high that they're right.

Want to try this... :)

I like #1 the best, but they all look great. Congrats on the weight loss, you've worked hard and it shows!

I would probably increase my activity level... especially since it's a daily activity.

Strawberries, string cheese, back to nature gluten free white cheddar rice crisps, celery with cinnamon laughing cow cheese and some raisins, and roasted asparagus.

Yup, MFP already builds in a deficit so you're just creating a larger one not eating them back. If you weren't losing weight without eating them back, then I would start because your body might need more fuel.

Cheese! I eat so much cheese.

I've heard really good things about Makeup Forever's products, in particular their HD Microfinish powder. Look on youtube, there's an extensive beauty community with all kinds of reviews and recommendations. :)

Everyone is different, but it took 3 weeks for me to see any change on the scale.

They're delicious... I personally don't want to waste 400 calories on them, but if they fit into your allotment, who cares. Obviously they're not nutritious, at all... but you can't deprive yourself of everything. In the grand scheme of things, a couple of poptarts every now and again isn't going to kill you or your diet.
