  • "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov, despite the taboo subject, is a really good, well-written book that is actually mentally stimulating. The man is a poet with the English language even though it was his second or third language learned. If creepiness ain't your thing, try "Pale Fire" by the same author. Nabokov is one of my…
  • In some versions of DDR (Supernova 1 and 2 for sure) there is an exercise mode that lets you put in your weight. It'll calculate how many calories you burn per step. I think it also factors in how fast the song is. Try googling whatever version of DDR you have + exercise mode?
  • If people judge me for wanting to lose weight then they have some serious issues they need to sort out, and I shouldn't be concerned with them in the first place!
  • Leggings. I absolutely love funky-patterned leggings but they never come in my size. Even if they did, who the hell wants to see that?!
  • "Yay" in response to saying I'm going bowling tonight. :P
  • Duke (brindle) and Roscoe (White), both boxers
  • I'm Gaby, 22, and a college student studying engineering. I have a job on-campus as a IT helpdesk worker. I hope to someday be a field researcher in nanotechnology, so I'm going to be in school forever pretty much. My favorite animals are cephalopods- Cuttlefish and octopi. I have a giant, colorful octopus tattoo on my…
  • Congrats, you look amazing! :)
  • Primus- "Los Bastardos" :laugh: Jus' kidding. More accurately: Queens of the Stone Age- "Go With the Flow"
  • Because if you fall for someone for just their looks, you're setting yourself up for failure pretty much. Looks change and fade with age and experience. There needs to be something more to the relationship other than "lol ur hott" to hold it together. Same for if you fall for someone based on just their brain. People…
  • Every time I have to suck it up and tiptoe carefully between seats to get to my seat in a crowded classroom. I'm so concerned I'm going to knock someones stuff down. I can't wait for when I don't need to be so cautious!
  • Right now I'm on summer break. I usually take summer classes but a lot of stuff happened this past year so I needed to take an actual break! I like to crochet, read, play video games, play my ukulele, and mess around online. I only watch TV when it gets too hot in my room and I need to sit below a fan. I applied to…
  • Oh hell yeah. When I was helping a friend move, the only thing that saved me was all the heavy lifting and box moving I logged (because I'm sedentary). I definitely would have gone over if I didn't. I was close to going over even with the stuff logged! We pigged out on pizza and cheesy bread!
  • I've had bacon covered chocolate once and it was the best thing. The mixture of salty and sweet was perfect. :D
  • Neck or forehead. Ones sexy, one is incredibly sweet. :)
  • I actually don't use salad dressing! Not because of caloric goals or health or anything like that, but I just prefer my salads plain. When I do get something, its usually peppercorn ranch or blue cheese, and I very lightly drizzle it on. I like the taste of lettuce and other greens too much to want to mute or cover them…
  • Wow, what a difference! Good job!
  • Height: 5' 3" Weight: 225 Age: 22 Daily calorie goal (not including exercise): 1740, though I don't get up to that number often Average weight loss per week: 3lbs-ish? I think? Starting weight: 240
  • Sometimes, yeah. Some lawyer's stuff pops up. I have a pretty generic name.
  • Yup. Still eat ice cream every once in a while. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but sometimes it pops up. :P I've lost 15lb so far so somethings going right. Since starting MFP I haven't gone over once and I'm actually learning what correct portions are, which is something that led to me getting so big in the first…
  • This is the 2nd day in a row that I've worked out- I usually alternate days (if even that) so its a victory for me. :)
  • Good choice! :) (I almost went by the screenname 2jane here)
  • A Scanner Darkly by Philip K D*ck (lol) A good number of PKD's books have been turned into movies, including Blade Runner and Total Recall!
  • Because, for the longest time (my whole life, pretty much), I just didn't care. I shoved whatever I wanted in my mouth, ate when I wasn't hungry, the whole shebang. Now I shove whatever I want into my mouth in moderation (while tracking it all) and I've lost 15lb doing so! :D
  • Even if it isn't anorexia (I don't see how it wouldn't be, I'm sure any psychiatrist would diagnose her with it, check the DSM), this "radical diet" or "restriction" is extraordinarily unhealthy either way, even if it is temporary. Don't get caught up in labels, and dont enable unhealthy destructive behavior just because…
  • Calling the girl a thin, air-headed b*tch for eating so little is rude. Telling someone that their behavior is destructive (which it definitely is, in this case) is not rude. "Supportive" doesnt always mean "positive". How old are you? See how many people are saying that it's a bad idea? They're saying it out of love and…
  • Name: Gaby Age: 22 1) I play the ukulele! 2) I crochet- I'm starting up an etsy shop (but it only has 2 things in it right now) 3) I'm an engineering major 4) I'm learning Russian and can read the Cyrillic alphabet 5) I'm afraid of vomit. Not in the "it makes me sick" sense, but in the straight up fight-or-flight response…
  • Leggings, holy crap. I want to layer them under everything. Also nice bras that aren't boring- at my size pretty ones are few and far between. And expensive.
