Hi_Im_Jess Member

Doctor says I'm 5'3, I say I'm 5'4.. Highest weight: 225 lbs Starting weight (May 2013): 207 lbs Current weight: 197 lbs Ultimate goal weight: 140 - 150 lbs (i'll figure that out when I get closer)

I'm 5'3 (maybe 5'4 on a good day lol) 140 lbs is my ultimate lon-gterm goal, based on doctor's recommendations.. I don't feel have a particularly petite frame so I'm not sure I could get any smaller than that.. However I mostly set short-term or fitness goals for myself, otherwise Im pretty sure I would give up. I have to…

I used to go to wing night every week and since I realized how many calories I was packing on to my day between wings, fried cheesecake, beer and other crap.. I decided its best for me to just skip the entire night now :sad:

That's what I said, I'm pretty sure ill be at Mcarren park every Wednesday lol

I just signed up for the Electric run too! Mine is September 28th! When is yours? This is also my first 5K

:happy: Awesome

Well.... Here's my two cents, because I don't have anything better to do with my time.. I give credit to anyone that steps foot inside a gym, wether they work out like theyre training for olympics or if they just do a couple of sets and call it a day. Just going to the gym shows some effort to improve yourself physically.…

Waterproof makeup will solve all problems in the world

That is true, I try to spend a couple of hours to prep them for the next few days to a week. Frozen veggies are good when youre short on time. They make ones that steam in the bag, you just throw them in the microwave. Those are my emergency veggies lol

See if you can find a local farmers market.. Fresh veggies are a million times better than frozen or canned (in my opinion anyway) so you might even like things you think you dont.

There are a lot of people that don't necessarily like vegetables.. at least not at first, hell I used to be one of them. I also used to love to eat fried wings and cheese covered nachos but as you change your eating habits, you'll notice that your tastes will change too. You have to experiment and find new things, you may…

My last name is Lynch... I was known as Jessica Lunch through most of school :grumble:

I don't remember the last time I had any kind of cake but next weekend Im going to visit the bakery from that show Cake Boss so you better believe I'll have something!

Oh derp, I just checked my diary settings. :ohwell:

I like smoothies with maca root but I have to make tiny little ones and drink them early because I cant keep them cool so they gross pretty quick. My office is lame!

I thought I have my diary open but only friends can see my profile so I dont know if thats why you cant see it or is there a separate setting for that?

When I input all of my info, MFP suggested 1220 to me, probably because I'm relatively short and was pretty inactive at the time but I think I need to revamp my goals because Im much more active now and I don't think 1220 is cutting it for me anymore.

I have the exact same light!

My motivation right now is the person that thinks I'm slow because I'm overweight. This person in particular is doing also doing a tour that I've signed up for in July. My goal is to leave them in the dust, I even have a T-shirt I plan to wear that says "keep running your mouth" on the back lol :laugh: I just want to be…

As you log your food on a regular basis you'll start to realize you can have a tiny bit of one thing or a lot of somehing else. It's definitely made me more conscious of what I eat and how much.

It sounds like your ex husband and my ex bf might be brothers!

MFP actually suggested 1220 cal / day for me.. so if thats unhealthy, then this entire website is wrong.

My bf doesn't think I need to lose weight but he helps me along the way because he knows I want to. He built me my bike as a Valentines day present and goes riding with me. Its nice to be able to share healthy hobbies. I've only just started so theres no noticable difference yet but its nice that we can do this together.

I'm pretty confident that nobody finds my New York accent hot at all lmao

We found eachother in the dark - City and colour

You're a rebel without a cause! :happy:

I don't even remember the last time anyone got me a birthday cake. You should most definitely save some room for it.. Does the wish even come true if you dont eat the cake? I dont know.. I wouldnt chance it. I heard that calories dont count on your birthday. Im not saying go overboard and go crazy but enjoy yourself. Its…

I just imagined it as a lightning strike.. way more entertaining.

I make jewelry that I sell on etsy.. or I'll go for a bike ride, do laundry, clean up, plan my meals for the week.. Sometimes I even get really crazy and catch up on sleep lol

They do it for cell phones although I dont count on the NYPD to actually do much, you would probably have a better chance showing up with a group of friends.
