If I'm putting them out there, I fully expect people to look. Matter of fact, I get a little bummed out if I don't catch people looking. I like the attention.

I drive a 2005 Saturn Ion. I really like having the speedometer and the rest of the dials in the center of the dash board instead of in front of the wheel. That's probably my favorite part. It goes fast when I need it to, it's good a decent EQ for the stereo (even if someone did run off with my antenna so I can't listen to…

I love pizza so freaking much! It's a huge weakness for me and it seems I crave it more now than ever. Two weeks ago I grabbed a hunk of gas station pizza because I had rushed out the door with nothing to eat and to make it palatable, I added parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of salt, a few hits of tabasco and a huge squirt of…

This - 100% and I would have made sure he knew they'd both be on his tab for the hassle.

I'm a VERY picky person. I don't eat grits, collard greens, cilantro, anything made out of a pig, hate onions (though I've been venturing into the world of cooked onions and they're not terrible), I don't eat anything cherry flavored (other than cherries), no mussels, clams, scallops, very little shrimp, no lobster, no…

to the OP: I just looked at your pic and your stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of. If anything, consider them a battle wound. You had a child, you are losing weight and winning this war with your body. So they'll show a little more due to the skin not being pulled tight but that's ok. You're becoming healthy, this…

This is exactly what I came to post up.

I can't stand people like that. Years ago, I was outside watering my garden (in grubby clothes, looking pretty gross, I'll admit) and two teenage boys were walking on the sidewalk. One said to the other "There's a girl for you!" and the other responded "Ugh, no thanks!" I sprayed them with the hose. I suppose if they'd…

Up until a few years ago, I lived with mine sucked in to the point where I would sit to eat and it would HURT to relax it. I would have to push it out to stretch it, almost. It was the strangest sensation and I hated it so I got out of the habit. I love the way it feels to pull it in. It tightens my core and I can even…

I've read every book (so far) in the "In Death" series by J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) and the most recent "Celebrity in Death" is what I'll be finishing up today. I love that series. Usually I swap between a paper book and then a kindle book, but today I got 3 or 4 new books so I think I'll be starting "My Sister's Keeper"…

it hasn't happened in a long time, but when I do get hurtful or negative comments, I use them. I get angry and take that anger out on my workout. I think about it more, which fuels me further. Sure, it still hurts but in the end maybe it'll do me a little better when I'm hot.

I'm the freshman in the middle. This was Hippie Day. 1995 there wasn't a dress-up day this time... that's just how we rolled. Sophomore year. 1996 Junior year - full on GOTH, haha!! 1997 But don't worry, I clean up real nice. (me on the left) Senior Prom. 1998

I've been having issues with my boobs since I had my daughter 7 years ago, but since losing weight, I've noticed even more that they're going from melons to flapjacks. I'm still a 42DD but when I lay down it's like they're deflated. Like I don't have any at all. My husband hasn't mentioned it (yet) but he's a boob man. I…

@Briski - you're not the only dawg. I'm one too;) @donovanart - you've got the best profile pic ever. ILU

@LauraMac - thanks, they're glowsticks through my stretched lobes. @GC - you have a happy face? Nice tank top. My favorite color.

You are proud of your progress.

Fit!

...you enjoy tunafish?

Shocktastic looks like fun, athletic, on-the-go a lot.

Brett - It's hard to tell from your pic, so maybe Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs.

Um... Cyclops?

Name: Amie Gender: Female Age: 32 Lives in: Illinois Want to lose: a total of ~120 lbs. Fave movies: Little Shop of Horrors, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Sorority Boys.

I think of it more as "don't like it? Don't look. But if you do, enjoy the view!" I feel complimented if I catch someone (male OR female) catching a glimpse.

I'm all in favor of cleavage in most situations. Granted, if you're working at a day care or something, you're not going to want to show the funbags off to the kiddies, but if you've got them and you love them, show them off. My chest is one of my finer features and I will gladly wear a low cut shirt if it improves my…

bump because I love looking at all your amazing boards!!

No, she's 7. Her boyfriend is more a "boy friend" since Pre-K. I don't think it's wrong for her to recognize skin color, I just don't know if it's going to offend someone if she calls them brown, ya know? I don't want her to be offensive.

This is two years ago, probably right around 285 pounds and in a size 30 women's pant and 4XL shirt. This is from the beginning of this month. Down 15 lbs and 2 sizes. Since then I've lost another 10 lbs but don't have a new progress picture until I hit the 30 lbs gone mark:) I've got a really long way to go, but I'm happy…

Just as I don't like Rippling cut muscles on a guy (and prefer a soft tummy and nice arms), my husband is intimidated and grossed out by women with visible muscle definition and bones poking through their skin. We share the same sentiment of "I don't want anyone who looks like they could kick my *kitten*, and I don't want…

I personally have 10 tattoos and facial piercings, stretched earlobes and plan on getting more tattoos (maybe more piercings too). My husband has naked flesh and it's fantastic. He has zero desire to pierce or ink his skin and I love it. He had an earring when he was a young boy but took it out long ago. There's barely…

30 didn't really bother me very much. I'm 32 now and that's the one that really bothered me because I'm the youngest of 2 kids but my sister passed when she was 31. I had a real issue with being "older" than her. She died in a surgery and on my 32nd birthday, I had to have an appendectomy, so I was understandably freaked…
