Congrats! I haven't been in the 180s for a LONG time, I'll make it back down there eventually. Seriously, good job! :)

Thanks for your answer! I think with skin like yours it will tighten up with some exercise or just naturally over time! :) You have such an awesome personality too!

Mines a cuttlefish, because sea critters are nifty. :D

Wow, super job! You look amazing! I have to ask though (and this is applicable for anyone who has done 100lb+ of weight loss), was excess skin a bother for you? I'm becoming increasingly paranoid at the idea of it even though I'm pretty young.

Eating cherries. :)

Cause I've been fat all my life. Do I need any other reason? :P

I like octopi. http://i.imgur.com/AdLt8.jpg

I know exactly what a ketone is (thanks, organic chemistry) but I'm still not sure how they play into people losing weight. You'd think that would have been a hot topic in class. Ketones are actually a part of fatty acid synthesis, in which fats are created from blood sugar (which creates energy). So, in short, they don't…

Natural curly- I've got ringlets. :) I'm cutting it short though- my hair is incredibly thick and curly and it feels like a brillo pad on my neck. Not to mention, Florida summers plus long thick hair equals "ew". I'm getting a "diva cut" later this month to tailor it specifically to my curls and to my face.

Bump! I love zucchini :)

I'm 5'3" and my goal is anywhere between 130 and 150. I have a stout, stocky scottish build thanks to my dad so I'm fine with whatever looks good on it, knowing that it might take a bit more to fill out. (I look 20 lbs lighter than I really am thanks to said build, though! lol)

Being overweight all my life. I want a taste of how it's like to be healthy for once!

We have a Roscoe and a Duke, both boxers. :)

I'm not bothered by those who have tattoos with no meaning. Some people get a tattoo of a Star Wars character because they like star wars. Some people get intricate designs that mean something to them. Who's to say who's right or wrong? Why does it bother you that people appreciate the art and history of tattoos? Because…

I flip flop beterrn INTP and INTJ

Macintosh! Crisp and tart!

I loooove plain frozen yogurt. I like the tangyness. :)

Despite the lack of calories, diet soda is still pretty bad for you because of the sweeteners and sugar content. Just like anything else that isn't super healthy, just drink it in moderation and you should be fine.

DON'T! Learn to lose weight by eating normally. Once you get off of the stupid shake diet you'll just gain weight once you start eating normally. Of course these things aid weight loss- if you drink a 150 (or something) calorie shake instead of eating a full 400-600 calorie lunch, you're gonna lose weight. It's not the…

Quite often, as long as it fits into my calorie goals. It's about controlling yourself, not denying yourself. I'm not much of a sweets person so I don't have to deal with candy cravings. :P

I looove cucumber and zucchini!

I love it.

My mother is bipolar I and refuses to get treatment. She acts like we can't tell (despite our father asking her to get help) but I really wish she would. There have been times that I just totally want to desert her because she is acting like a child and taking everything as a slight against her "immaculate self". This has…

Close enough! 5'3" SW: 240 CW: 235 (only been at this a week and I already lost that!) GW: anywhere between 150 and 130 Feel free to add!

I love body hair, and it kind of freaks me out if someone is totally shaved.

"Good girl" ಠ_ಠ

I'm playing through Diablo III right now and I'm playing a bunch of other stuff on the side. :) One of my favorite series is the Deus Ex series. The new one was amazing. I also like a few things that are more casual (mainly on the DS). Picross, Professor Layton and the like.

I've started doing the same thing... but, you know, once you learn what a healthy portion looks like you won't have to actually break out the scales and measuring cups anymore. At that point you won't be thinking about how many calories, all you'll be thinking about is how healthy that portion is.

I am too... I'm not eating enough. I find it hard to because I'm not as hungry as I thought I was. I used to eat for the sake of eating and now that I'm watching what I'm eating (and when I'm eating it), I'm just... not hungry. I'm sure that'll change once I start exercising more, though.

Feel free to add me! I was 240 and I want to be 130- just a little over 100 lbs to lose. My diary is open.
