Ankle! I have super colorful socks, and I love that little pop peeking out of my shoes. ;D (But I do love some knee/over the knee socks!)

I am in awe! I completely renounce spandex!

I'm always looking for more nerdy friends on here, so anyone feel free to add me! My biggest passion is books (Harry Potter, anyone?), but I'm a proud member of tons of fandoms. Obviously, I'm a Whovian, anything Whedonverse (Buffy owns my heart), Battlestar Galatica, Supernatural...the list could go on and on. Board game,…

24, turning 25 in August! I'm always on the lookout for active friends. Add me! :D

Oh, and my fiance's favorite one was thinking that the past really was in black and white, like old movies and tv shows. He asked his grandparents what it was like when they were little and there was no color. xD

When I was little, I was convinced that little gnomes lived in all the traffic lights, and they had to run up and down the stairs to switch the colors. There were two, so that they could take shifts. I would even draw pictures of them, with the insides of the traffic lights like messy little houses, with a couch, and beds,…

Me! I need more geeky friends on here. :D My first and foremost geekdom will always be books. I am a total bookworm and I work at a library where I coordinate a lot of the teen programming. But I also write, play video games (I'm rpg fanatic), watch and rewatch an unhealthy amount of fabulous tv shows (Doctor Who, Buffy,…

Count me in! I'm 5'3", 24 years old, and just a few weeks ago re-joined the "one-hundred club" at 199 lbs. I have a really hard time staying motivated consistently, and I would love some fellow lady friends that are active and can keep me going. :D Anyone feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:

Bumping to come back and read later. I'm actually in the exact same boat as the OP. It just never occurred to me to go to Youtube for workout videos, even though I go there for everything else. :tongue:

YES. Actually, is that shirt available in my size? I think I may need one now...

Yes! But mine isn't because I have nothing to do, it's because I have too much to do on weekends. Going to see a movie, hanging out with friends - there's just a lot of temptation to not make good choices when you're surrounded by people that aren't trying to lose weight and be healthy. Beer is especially hard to resist! I…

I agree with the thought of a therapist, either alone or as a couple. There's obviously something going on between you two if you feel emotionally attracted, but not physically. A lot of time it's not even something physical with the partner, but something they've done or habits they have that are turning you off. You just…

Honestly, looking back, I really wish my significant other had said something before I got to the point I am. I was totally blind to it, and now I'm paying the price for everyone tiptoeing around the subject. There *are* nice, subtle ways of telling her. But really, if you guys can't be completely, 100% open and honest…

Honestly, for me, coffee works pretty well. I don't drink it often, only on the weekends. If I've been having any sorts of problems the last couple of days, it seems to do the trick. But like the other poster said, everyone is different. If twice a week is regular for your body and you don't feel any discomfort, then don't…

This morning was a little on the bad side. :ohwell: Fiance made homemade sausage and egg biscuits, and I had a cup of coconut chai tea with a teensy bit of cream.

My absolute favorite recently has been rice cakes with tzatziki sauce. Otherwise, I tend to snack on Kashi bars (pink lemonade + chia bars are pretty tasty), cheese sticks, olives, hummus, popcorn, cucumbers, carrots, celery with peanut butter, salsa with portioned out chips, cashews, pistachios, and waffle crisps (cookie…

And the thread is officially done. xD Anyway, I think it's perfectly fine. Most modern brides aren't going to care one bit about some old tradition. Weddings are becoming less and less traditional each year. I'm getting married next year and I personally wouldn't be offended by someone wearing red or black. :) You look…

You definitely aren't alone! I've been so frustrated with mine as well. I've lost 30 pounds total, and not a single pant size. Even when I was a hundred pounds dripping wet, I had "womanly" hips and thighs. I carry all my weight around my hips. I'm a shorty too, 5'3". It can be really disheartening, but just keep your…

Practically anything from Nero. :) Or anything with a dubstep influence - I love it for weightlifting.

I was totally contemplating making a thread like this too. :D I just turned 24 in August, and I'm looking to lose around 75-ish pounds. I've lost almost thirty on and off MFP, and I just really need some active members for support and the occasional kick in the butt. Feel free to add me!

Seriously? I would love to live someplace like NYC. Just the specialty food stores and markets alone are worth it! It would be soooo much easier to eat wonderfully there than in a little hick town that I live in. We don't have any quality grocery stores, or fantastic places to eat. We have mega chains of everything, and…

Right now I want a big fat chicken and cheese quesadilla with jalapenos, and all the fixings with it - salsa, sour cream, guacamole. I'd like to finish it off with a Boston creme doughnut and a glass of 2% milk to wash it all down. Sigh.

My soon-to-be-hubby has a few patches of back hair. It doesn't stop him from working in the yard shirtless. ;D He also has a decent amount of chest hair, but he's also incredibly fit. I don't find it detracts at all. Go for it! Don't be embarrassed. Unless you are embarrassed, then request the assistance of a partner/very…

bump for later...I'm totally obsessed with pumpkin! :D

Well, I guess it's time to start evolving into a fish... (I <3 you for making this thread. XD)

Everclear, ugh. A few years ago, at a friend's birthday party, I was left unattended with a cooler full of Everclear jell-o shots. To this day, even the sight of jiggling jell-o makes me want to vomit.

I am an absolute dressing addict! I probably have ten half-full bottles sitting in the fridge right now, lol! But my go-to favorites are: Balsamic vinaigrette (typically Newman's) Raspberry poppyseed vinaigrette (Kraft is pretty good) Low Fat Sesame Ginger (Newman's) Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch Tuscan House Italian (Kraft)…

I've lost one human head since joining MFP! Overall, I've dropped a tire. :D I'm heading towards the World's Largest Ball of Tape!

This is more of a local one. I live in Greenville, NC and for some stupid reason it's been nicknamed "G-Vegas". There is even an effing magazine called "G-Vegas" now. I just don't understand. D: The nightlife pretty much sucks, and we have only a handful of even halfway decent bars. Yes, our local college (ECU) has a…

I'm reading "Let's Pretend This Never Happened" by Jenny Lawson. I'm a huge fan of her blog, and the book is effing hilarious. I usually don't laugh out loud, but I just keep having spurts of giggles while reading. I definitely recommend if you have an acidic sense of humor, aren't easily offended, and don't mind tons of…
