You're HOT! Congrats!

Thanks everyone :) I have a LOT more self confidence. I've actually been hit on a few times recently (to my girlfriend's dismay) which had never really happened before! Haha.

Hard alcohol mixes great with a diet soda - diet crush, diet root beer, diet colas...lots of flavor (to cover up the icky alc!) but not the cals. Avoid ANY mixed drinks. They are soooo bad for you. Well, you can always splurge on your birthday :)

Congratulations! You look fantastic.

I can't even fathom being unable to only eat 1200 calories a day. I ONLY eat lean, healthy food, fruits and veggies - yet I am typically right around my daily total of 1400 almost every day. Sure, some days I fluctuate...however, simply put...NO ONE should eat under 1200. You are only doing harm to yourself. And really,…

I am getting this the first week in May. http://www.danrenkin.com/MidsummerSilhouettes.gif Characters from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Ironically, my first was Johnny Depp at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, IL. I also met Bill Clinton & Chelsea Handler. Oh and Spike Lee, Gary Sinise, Molly Shannon...

You have no reason to be depressed. You are beautiful, strong, healthy, and an inspiration to us all! Congratulations.

Hmm, gotta love Hugh Jackman!

If the poo is hidden behind bushes anyways, why pick it up??

You are beautiful on both sides, and you are gorgeous now! congratulations.

Kit Kat no contest.

8.5. You look sweet & like a creative soul!

I can't do *anything* with out coffee. I typically drink one cup in the morning and one in the afternoon. My favorite to brew through my Keurig is Pumpkin Spice, although any kind of Donut House blend will do. I typically just use French Vanilla creamer. If I'm buying out, my favorite USED to be a white chocolate mocha - -…

Don't be embarrassed. First of all, you finished the 'challenge'. That's fantastic! Second, there is some major and obvious change. That's even better! You should be nothing but proud to show these off.

I will be graduating next year with a major in Theatre Performance and minors in English (Writing) and Interactive Media Studies (graphics). Three things I love!

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" is one (although there are certainly a few things that taste that good...) The other one is in one of the Biggest Loser work out DVDs, Jillian Michaels screams out, "DO YOU *WANT* TO BE *SKINNY*??". My answer is yes. So I don't quit, I don't cheat. I power through!

Processed crap is processed crap. On a college budget, if I want to eat healthy, I have to make some exceptions.

Sometimes chewing gum will help, but I've recently adopted Jillian Michael's suggestion and it's been working for me. Take about three bites worth of a snack food, and then wait TWENTY MINUTES before allowing yourself any more. It's hard, but I always tell myself I WILL get more. By the time that the time has passed, I…

9 You look like a model!

It's 1:53 here :) Stuck awake...slept too late today! I'm certainly going to be kicking myself when I get up for class in the morning...

Personally, I do NOT eat exercise calories back. I'm busting my *kitten* to make a difference.

I've never heard anything positive about any of these plans...including huge names like The Biggest Loser. Personally, I am fine with whatever diet frozen dinners are on sale at the time - whether it be Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones...or most recently, I've found a brand called Michaelyn's which has full DIET meals for 99…

Sounds fantastic...can't wait for the next day I'm up early enough for breakfast!! (Or the next meal I feel like eating a breakfast-like food!)

An entire tray of freshly baked brownies...man did I feel sick. There's a reason they're no longer around the house....

The whole point of a cheat meal or day is so that you actually hold yourself accountable on days when you are eating strictly. They are by no means mandatory, especially not if you already have the control otherwise. I don't have cheat meals OR days. Calories are calories, and I'm counting them for a reason. Once I reach…

Personally, I do not eat my exercise calories back. I work out because it makes me feel good and BURN MORE, so I would simply feel far too guilty if I used my time in the gym for more time by the fridge. But that's just me :)

The only pill that has helped me or anyone I know in any way was Jillian Michael's Ultimate Fat Burner. It gives you a nice energy boost before a work out and then supposedly cracks down on places with too much fat in them.

I'm new here too...but welcome anyways!

From what I can see, you look great! :) 8.
