Bubba the mutt. Roxy the entitled-old-lady Great Dane (in my bed). Griffin, wearing a coat because he had just been rescued and had no meat on his bones and we were getting a Christmas tree. Please contain all your "Which one's the horse?" jokes.

My mom thinks women should always get haircuts after losing weight. Even if it's just to tidy things up, it will likely make her feel better looking. Also, a significant cut would help in those situations where a woman feels like she doesn't look all that different in spite of her success. I got a haircut after 50 pounds…

Yeah, I agree with what some other people said about it being professionalism. And when making rules, they really have to account for the lowest common denominator in the workplace, which is going to be the people who can't dress themselves decently without guidelines. They could try to allow those who know how to select…

Yeah, it definitely varies. I think people who become really heavy and then lose when they're still relatively young are often the ones who end up looking younger because of the skin elasticity that you lose as you age, as someone else mentioned. And it definitely helps that when people lose weight they tend to gain…

I'm still at my college home, so the only pets are my bird and my roommate's cat. The cat gets in the way all the time when I work out in the living room (Chest flies? Clearly he should help me by getting on my stomach!). I'm not sure if it's love or hate or just apathetic feline self-centeredness. My bird just gets…

Listening to contemporary renditions of hymns, drinking my black coffee, and trying to eat my large bowl of very hot oats fast enough to actually not be late for church for once (haven't been on time since summer services started, since they're earlier than school session services for some reason), but I've yet to get…

Huckleberry or Tin Lizzy, from Ferdinand's Creamery at Washington State University. Be jealous. My school makes awesome ice cream and cheese. For ice cream you actually buy in stores, Alden's chocolate chocolate chip is lovely. It is natural, soft ice cream.

Based on your name... garbanzo beans? If so, good choice. I lurve garbanzo beans.

-Not a Christian (and, within the rather enormous spectrum of Christianity, we have to have a reasonably similar view of things). It covers a lot of the deal breakers in one- drugs, drinking to excess, partying, cussing, etc. -Obsession with politics, trains, or the military. It becomes grating. -Has a useless or easy…

I'm 5'8" and have gone from a size 18 at about 200 pounds (carrying it around the waist) to a size 6 and somewhere like 155 pounds last I checked. June 2011: IMG_1269 by stone.caitlin, on Flickr June 2012: Chickens! 065 by stone.caitlin, on Flickr I've gained some weight in the last month from toning. My clothes are still…

Congratulations! I have actually gained weight in the last month or so, but since my clothes are continuing to become looser I definitely don't worry too much about it. I'm noticing new muscles popping up (literally... just found a new bump today on my forearms that is reeeally sore), so it's easy to tell the source of the…

I adore apples Too bad they're out of season When will Fall be back?

Apples- Raw, with skin Celery- Raw Nuts- Almonds

Washington State University! I love it. I chose it because they give full tuition to National Merit Finalists and Semifinalists. The campus is beautiful (probably to make up for the fact that we live in the middle of nowhere) and very pedestrian-friendly, which is great since I walk 2.5 miles daily roundtrip for classes.…

Roasted garbanzo beans with Sriracha is my new thing. I put some on before I cook, and inevitably add more after. But when I prepare GBs, I have a problem of never soaking enough because after they're cooked, I start popping 'em in my mouth before I make my recipe. They are the most delicious plain bean, I think, though I…

Olive or grapeseed oil when possible. I don't really use butter at all because I can't eat most baked goods, but it is definitely better than margarine on the basis of ingredients alone.

I agree, always get rid of big clothes so you can't just pull out an old pair of pants if you slack off (pun intended) and gain a few pounds back. Personally, I also like living a life of owning few possessions and absolutely nothing I don't use. I usually only make it a few months in each new pant size at the absolute…

Before, June 2011. I was about 200 pounds (5'8") IMG_1269 by stone.caitlin, on Flickr During, June 2012. 150ish. Chickens! 065 by stone.caitlin, on Flickr If anyone cares how this occurred (I like having descriptions when I see a body type like mine): I have PCOS and an undiagnosed (because it's more or less undiagnosable,…

If it was possible to be healthy on nothing but apples, I would totally do it. I won't even touch most junk food because it looks disgusting; if I ever stress-eat, I eat apples (really bad days can be Four-Apple days). Can you tell I'm a Washingtonian? Haha.
-
Well, the healthiest way is to drink it black. It takes some getting used to for some people, but you ultimately get a better feel for the actual taste of coffee rather than the creamer. Otherwise, I agree with Lauren- something like almond milk is the best. It'll give you a bit of flavor while still being healthy in and…

I eat loads of legumes and oats. Better than getting store brand bags, though, is finding somewhere that has a quality bulk selection. This is generally NOT a big chain grocery store- go somewhere where the bulk stock is regularly cycled through so it's not stale and icky. At home, the newer Fred Meyer's has a good one.…

Dogs, dogs, dogs. Oh gosh, you will not regret it. But regarding puppies vs. adopting: When I was a kid (9 years ago), we weren't really aware of the issues of getting a puppy from a breeder so that's what my parents did. My mom had a Great Dane when she was a kid and had basically waited her whole life to be ready…

Oh gosh, I get WAY TOO emotional about this show. Like seriously, when I think of the perfect man, Doctor Who comes second only to Jesus in what he needs to love. Reason #34664 why I'll always be single, haha. But seriously, you guys... Amy and Rory... I just can't. Should we just plan ahead for a big giant sobfest on the…

My mom is one of the billing managers at a company that has four really high-end retirement homes. All of our dogs have been in to see the old folks. The newer Dane can just curl up and sleep in her office, with the occasional trip around the building. But our smallest (the only non-Great Dane, anyways, since he's still…

I've decided this will be my first official rest day in ages, but I'm not sure I can handle going to bed without exercising. And a hot (not cold) bath without getting super sweaty first... weird, man. Weird. How did I do this once upon a time? Want to know what lame really is? The highlight of my evening was picking out…

Me or the chicken I'm holding? She was cuddly and fell asleep in my hands. I'm the Chicken Whisperer. ;) AwesomeOne: Lovely (I wish I could rock short hair), but you should get a picture with more lighting. Lighting makes for even better pictures in the case of nearly every portrait.

Mute for sure, because learning would be more complicated when deaf or blind. I love reading and hearing brilliant people speak.

Needs more beard. Go full or go home, haha. Probably just me, though. Also, smile!

The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates by Xenophon. Just read Strunk and White for the first time recently, too, since I have had this nagging suspicion my honors and AP courses in high school were really lacking in the fundamentals and now I have but one English course between me and the real world. (I got 800 on my SAT…
