(Reviving an old thread) I am still playing, level 30 and only Hitmonlee left to go in my Pokedex (other than the legendaries and region locked). It really gets me motivated to walk, even after all this time.

I stuck to plan all month except Christmas and my birthday, and I walked 50 miles in December. Incidentally lost 9 pounds. :)

This makes me so mad. I'm glad I haven't had to deal with this. I only associate with a small group of people that I know aren't dicks. It also helps to be a large, tall woman who does not put up with crap. I haven't had any problem in MMOs personally.

My rant...so far I've had LapBand surgery, seen a therapist, seen a nutritionist. Nothing works. Well, the only thing that did was looking forward to a big vacation. I lost 50 pounds and then gained it all back when I got stressed out when we moved houses. Very discouraging. I guess I need to plan a new vacation!

Thor would be an awesome costume! I have the height. Wish I had the physique.

Me neither. My Sith are also Light Side. lol. I just don't like even pretending to be evil. Although I have to say that the Dark Side choice is very tempting sometimes, especially when you really want to kick someone's butt that really deserves it.

I'm going to a gaming potluck tonight with the ladies from the comic book store.

My boyfriend and I were breaking up, and I told him I really needed to date a geek. He was talking to his friend, mentioned this, and they set me up with her ex-boyfriend. Tada, married a year later. Just getting out there helps. You have to kiss a lot of frogs...

I went back to SWTOR.

Smart is so damn sexy. That's why I scored myself a genius. :)

In the first episode, they were trying too hard for a laugh and had very little sci-fi news. The second episode had more meat, and I liked it a lot better. Plus, Felicia Day!

We are having a blast. I'm playing an esper, and my husband is playing an engineer. The combo seems to be working pretty well. Things have gotten tough at the early 20s, and it's handy to have backup. I am finding the esper very squishy. I don't even try a fight on my own. :/

Me! Every meal was a fight when I was a kid. I'm Cajun, so everything had onions. I like the taste, but it's the texture I hate, the little crunch against the teeth. I like thin onion rings because they don't have that texture. I use onion powder in recipes, and it works fine. I also use big pieces of onion when I want the…

I don't usually have a problem (I guess I make enough saliva to handle it), but sometimes I take small swallows. I've learned my lesson about large swallows -- they hurt.

I used to slouch as a kid. All my friends were short, and I didn't feel like I was part of the conversation unless I slouched down to their level. That all ended in college. My husband says I stomp around, but I think I stride with purpose. :)

Meeee! I've been playing beta for a while, and I can't wait. Hubby and I took two days off to play after release. I snagged the name Rowan, and I'm guessing we'll be on Alizar if the server names are the same. I'll be an esper and settler.

Saga is pretty awesome, but there's not much out yet.

When I did online dating, I always listed my height, so I figured if a guy didn't like it, he wouldn't write me. I dated a really short guy, and he had no problem with it. I even wore heels! My husband is an inch or two shorter than me. You figure a guy's pretty secure if he's dating a taller woman. I love being tall and…

The doctor said I probably had an esophageal spasm. I've been fine this week, so that's a relief. He wants me to get a barium swallow just to make sure my band is placed properly. Ick.

There's a big difference between a little leftover scent from when you sprayed it that morning before work and someone freshly dousing themselves before a workout. The latter is gag inducing.

SW: 300 GW: 160 Ugh, so far to go.

I lost 50 pounds, and then we moved. Selling the old house and buying the new house were very stressful events. The family got out of eating healthy in favor of fast food and junk. It took us all year to get back to it, but we are. The next task will be figuring out how to work exercise into the schedule.

The nurse called back, and the doctor want to see me. So we'll see what he says Thursday.

I got in touch with the doctor's nurse, and we talked. I've been doing OK today, so I'm going to see how it goes. If I have that pain again, I'll make an appointment to see the doctor. It's just very weird because I've never had that pain before, not in that place, and certainly nothing that severe. I certainly never want…

You absolutely are jealous, and you need to face that. Don't ever think weight loss surgery is easy or that a person who has the surgery has no will power. After surgery, you still have to control what you eat, and that does take will power. I have a LapBand, and it's rough. I still have lots of trouble losing weight,…

I did get it for him for Christmas. He seemed to like it, though I didn't get a huge response. But then that's my husband. I also bought him and my son Nerf rifles so they could shoot each other without damaging the customized one. That went over really well with both of them. I got a deep fryer (which I like), so we…

Thanks for the info -- I am new to this. I've been following the Atkins guidelines because they were pretty straightforward. I don't think I can stay at 20g of carbs a day because I get sick of just protein and vegetables. I've done this before, and after a few weeks I literally want to puke after looking at meat and…

I've finished the first week of induction (<20 carbs) -- I'm pretty happy about that. My hunger is diminishing, and I've lost almost 10 pounds (mostly water, I know). I've been eating relative clean, at least for me. I'm not giving up my morning tea and Splenda. I'm feeling pretty good and trying to keep my calories around…

I found this one funny. I'm about 100 pounds overweight, and I jogged a 5K in the Texas heat with no problem and with my doctor's approval. Educate yourself; not all obese people are unfit. Strap on an extra 100 pounds and see how far you get.

Good luck!
