Very interesting read. I think many people are kinda missing the point that its not soley blaming genetics for obesity, but rather saying that if you are affected with the gene your environmental factors take a greater toll than someone who is not. The anecdotes provided so far are all great examples that a fat mom =/= fat…

Im so proud of you for meeting your goal and staying with it :) and anyone who ever called you fat or ugly was obvs just projecting their own self hate, you are Gorgeous!

I love Essie's color collections, but I dont like their brush very much,its so thin. OPI or the Sephora OPI are prob my favorite. So many nice colors and a good consistency for painting Nicole OPI is terrible though, I find it chips very easy :(

I went from being a broke University student that had to walk everywhere... To having a well paying but sit on my *kitten* job... Combined with a new Bf, my own car and lots of eating out / getting take out, not to mention I now work day and night shifts sporadically. Fast forward 3 years and +40 lbs and you have me at my…

I have habit of switching moisturizers every time one runs out haha. Right ow Im using St Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter, its for really dry skin. I also buy products from The Body Shop, everything smells sooo good. I have a Sweet Pea body butter and before that I used their Cherry Blossom.

Loving how much happier you look in the second set :) really good work! Keep it up :)

I say Instyle... Not for any weight loss advice they offer but as motivation to lose the weight :) so so many cute outfit and style ideas that just simply do not flatter my body currently

Wow congrats on your success! Also your tattoo is gorgeous :love:

How tall are you? You can definitely see it in your face as well. Keep it up lady!

If I could remove the occasional hipster *kitten* elements, Jessica Alba has an incredible causal style. Always so comfortable but never sloppy :)

Age: 24 Highest weight: 180 (fall 2010) Mfp starting weight: 165 (April 2012) Current weight: 148 Goal weight: 130 I weighed around 135 in highschool and wore a 6/7 (or 29) in most brand of jeans. I used to think I was pear shaped but now I'm certain I'm an apple. I currently wear size 10 (or 31) pants that are tight on my…

I mostly play mmos. I played wow for 2 years (straight haha) but quit when Cataclysm was released. Swtor was fun but I only played for the winter. Diablo3 has been passing time for me until Guild Wars 2. Only one more day yayy! I think I'll make a Ranger and engineer, both look really fun :3

That's great! Congrats on your success so far :flowerforyou:

Awesome. Way to break a bad habit! :flowerforyou: :smile:

Changing your diet will have a big effect on your body fat percentage. Try eating lots of whole grains, lean proteins and non processed foods. My lovehandles are my problem area too.

I work by myself for the majority of my day, so I don't have to worry about people watching me eat. However, most of the ladies I work with are "trying" to lose weight. I occasionally get the compliment (which is sincere btw) that I'm looking good and they ask me what I do. When I tell them mainly changed my diet and start…

Now I want sushi! Doh, stuck at work with mashed cauliflower instead lol

Tie your hair up before your evening shower, and only wash it on the mornings? You'll probably need to start switching your pillowcases more often though. It would be a shame to save your hair only to hurt your facial skin :)

The second half of 1984: how effing depressing and hopeless! Every Shakespeare play: we read them out loud and listening to my classmates mis and over pronounce every word drove me nuts. Summary of my feelings lol: most books we did as a class I ended up disliking. I had a much higher reading comprehension than the…

Everywhere except my belly :sad: My legs/calves are always the first to trim up

To do my lower body weight routine after work today :) I just bought a new straight bar for my weights!

I have the same game and I'm pretty sure that it only counts calories burned for "fully" completed reps, so if your form isn't 100% it doesn't include them in your total. This is complete bs! Haha I haven't played it on awhile but I was logging it under cardio aerobics or calisthenics.

Im about to switch from depo provera (the shot) to tricyclen (the pill) Im really nervous about how this is going to affect my weight loss. Ive been on the shot for a year and a half.

Age: 24 Height: 5'6" Current Weight: 148.7 lb Bust: 34" Natural Waist: 28-3/4" Belly Button: 38" *kitten*: 39-1/2" When I started in April weighing 165, my belly and butt were both 41", its been slow but I guess its improving.

Good luck everyone :flowerforyou: My goal is lose 20 lb by the new years, i feel like a slacker compared to you guys :laugh:

I FINALLY busted through the 150s and entered the 140s :drinker:

the bentley commenter and ted baker commenter have it right. if VS doesnt carry your size its because they dont want someone your size wearing it. harsh but true. find a store that does want your business and go there. edited to say: Im a 36A or even a AA, I dont shop there but Im not bitter :)

i boiled, drained and mashed it, then added 1/3 cup of the cheese. not quite the same effect as a bowl of mashed potatoes but a much healthier alternative :)

5 hours into my 12 hour nightshift, just finishing up a bowl of cauliflower mash with light tex mex cheese! first time i ever made it and it was delish! after i going to have a nap or maybe start a game of civ5... i love my job haha

gamer nerd here, bring on guild wars 2!!!
