I've lost an elephant's heart! What a neat list.

I'm 5'3", 197 lbs and wearing a solid 16 in jeans, medium in mens/unisex shirts and 1x in womens tops.

5'3", starting weight 240 current weight 197, would like to get down to 150 for starters. :)

Great job!

You look great! Congrats! I'm at a massive plateau too...

Not really- someone on my facebook friend list went on a rant about how "humans weren't meant to track calories" but that's the only negative thing I've seen on it. If someone sees me on the app or on the website I'll get a "trackin your calories?" or "doing that diet thing again?" but nothing that actually resembles a…

My whole life I have been overweight. I'm talking about even when I was a little girl, 5 or 6. I've lived a whole bunch on that side of the coin, now I'd like to see the other side. Also, health issues like Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease run in the family and I know that getting my weight under control…

Congrats! What an achievement!

Its been a year and a day since one of my closest friends passed away and I can't stop thinking about her.

You look awesome! Keep it up :)

Once a day in the morning. I only record if I see a stable trend over a few days time.

Extra sharp cheddar cheese and nachos. I gorge myself every nacho night, which thankfully are few and far between. Nacho nights are my cheat days. ;)

Feel free to add me I started at 240, I'm down to 211 now! I'm on here every day (with a few exceptions ;) ).

It appears to be my stomach. Which is nice, because I gain weight there first!

I used daily burn a bunch a year or so ago. When I went back to try again at losing weight, they had become a pay site! (and i've gotten much farther on here than I ever did with daily burn)

Totally the saggy skin. It doesn't help that I've been losing weight at the rate of about 10 lbs per month, which is a bit more than what's considered healthy. I heard that people my size (started at 240) could lose really fast for a while and then chill, so I'm hoping it chills out. I'll be eating more once I go back to…

I'm pretty tired of those hair-straightener kiosks in malls telling me that my hair should be straight, that I'll be so much more confident, so much more sexier. Even after I tell them I *like* my curly hair they don't let up! It takes everything I have to not tell them to *kitten* off because I'm happy with the way I…

Finished "A Scanner Darkly" and "The Master and Margarita" earlier this week, started "Dune" yesterday.

Not sure if "college student" counts at all, but... I'm a college student. :P I also work on campus as an IT Helpdesk jockey.

Avenue Q!

Starship Troopers. It's such a perfect mix of humor, action, tongue-in-cheek commentary, and cheesy sci-fi campiness. I could watch it over and over.

I keep coming back to this post and I keep getting amazed! You look awesome!

This is how I feel. My goal is actually 1600-something but I rarely get to that, I hover around 1200-1400. I do it by only eating when actually hungry, not "just because" like I used to so much. Once I stopped eating out of boredom, I actually found myself rarely hungry and at the beginning I could barely get to 1200! It's…

Publix - Milk-Reduced Fat 2% Land O Lakes - Buttery Taste Spread With Vegetable Oil Cherries - Sweet, raw I like to put that Land O Lakes stuff on toast in the morning. :) I'm sure that'll change after being here more (and when I go back to school... everything will be Aramark then)

My eyes and my stubbornness! I wouldn't be where I am today if I listened to those people who said women shouldn't be in my field.

Crochet, reading, video games, tinkering with electronics/reading about tinkering with electronics :P

Don't you guys have the yellow pages there? This is a really specific question to ask a "fun and games" forum.

Like, 10. This is during summer break, though... during school I'll be getting much less so I'm gettin' it all in before I go back. :laugh:

I've always wanted my nips done but my left one is kinda... gimpy. It rarely ever sticks out, which is definitely a problem if you're looking to get it pierced. Just having one would look silly! Not to mention, it'd just emphasize my gimpy one...

Dumb and Dumber. ... Big gulps, huh? Welp, seeya later
