How dare poor people eat cake? Filthy moneygrubbing peasants should subsist on vienna sausages and bananas. Cake is for people of means.

I'm writing fantasy this year for the first time ever, so I'm pretty excited about that. I'd love to do some mutual brainstorming with anyone looking to bounce ideas to and fro.

I'm Sciamantium on the nano boards if anyone wants to add me. I've been on the NaNo boards forrreeeverrrr but only seriously attempted last year. Tried Camp this year and didn't make it due to general business :( I'm glad to find some fellow MFPers that are also Wrimos, since MFP is the site I spend the most time on…

We have a fussy spoiled Brazilian Rainbow Boa named Habanero, a dumb pound cat named Peach, and an adorable mastermind ferret named Cobbler.

"Becoming an Olympian"

From what I read around here that's pretty normal for someone with a high starting weight. I started at 273 and lost a little over 20 lbs in the first month, after that it has consistently been 1-2lbs per week. As long as you're getting enough to eat (and it sounds like you are) I don't think you have anything to worry…

The ones I read on MFP EVERY. SINGLE. DAY: "I'm scared to lose weight because I might have loose skin and then I won't look good in a bikini!!!!" -like you look good in a bikini now. Okay. "I'm scared to lose weight because my boobs might get smaller and my boobs look so great!!!!" -like people won't notice that you're…

Try Schar brand, I believe their website allows you to find stores that sell Schar near you. http://www.schar.com/us/ Edit: I love Udi's bagels so much more than regular bagels. Oh my god. I am crazy for those.

Are we talking bodyweight squats or barbell squats?

Your protein intake is EXTREMELY LOW. Upping your protein will help you feel full for longer. Also, up your calorie goal so you have room for a serving of ice cream or whatever. Broccoli is a healthy snack and all but are you seriously going to be able to keep this up snacking on broccoli? Make some room for a little treat…

A clue

I like to do bicep curls with the 2lb dumbbells about 800 times per arm

That guy looks really toned. What long muscles. Like a dancer.

I am this wife. I honestly could not use a smith machine, something about the angle just tore me up. I know people are saying that squatting in a smith machine is cheating but smith machines are impossibly difficult for me to use. As soon as I switched to the barbell my squats tripled in less than 2 weeks.

RACK. Never not rack.

I got it after spraining both my ankles falling down the stairs. It was absolutely terrible for a long time, but it has eased up considerably since I started losing weight. I only really notice it early in the mornings these days. The braces that hold your feet in place overnight help.

I was never interested in weight loss surgery because I like food, I like having my stomach intact, had no health problems aside from being fat, and was not afraid of dropping dead. Now, if I had some kind of medical crisis or weighed much, much more than 273 lbs to start with, I may have had a different opinion.
-
Yeah, I lost a ton of weight in the first month. After that it slowed to a normal pace.
-
Since you've only been on Atkins for 2 weeks, most of the weight you have lost is probably water weight. When you add carbs back into your diet, you will regain some or most of this WATER weight because water is used to store energy from carbs as glycogen. Don't let it bum you out too much.

If you lose 10 lbs in 3 days, be prepared to gain most of it back in the next 3 days.

As a Key Rat I hated having to cross three bridges to get into the city, if I was raised on Key West I probably would have lost my mind of boredom. Or just become a Keys drunk. Seriously, living on an island is pretty weird. If you want to move to a warm place with a beach nearby, there are better choices. Living so far -…

The beaches suck, the mainland beaches are much better.

I'm cracking up that all the ladies in here are talking about how they fart all over their men but the last time there was a burping thread it was full of "OMFG NO I NEVER BURP THAT IS SO VILE!!!!"
-
If your relationship can be undone by a fart. Well. I don't know.
-
You should be fine, my weight sometimes bounces up and down drastically from day to day. Don't be surprised if it bounces back up tomorrow.

Congratulations! The hardest part is getting started. You are well on your way!
