Thanks so much for you thoughtful response! 1) Maybe I do comment on her too but hadn't noticed! That's a really great point. I never initiate talking about diet/exercise tho since that's always been a slippery slope. I will definitely try to be more careful from now on though. 2) She isn't on MFP but I think she does use…

Hey! I'm surprised this didn't get more hits. There are a lot of forum posts about this. I'd recommend using the search bar to find some more already developed topics. There are also some great low cal dessert posts in the recipe section if you want to make something healthy and sweet. For me, I just try to drink a lot of…

LOL -- I LOVE the range of responses here. And while I would also love to just tell her off (hey, my time belongs to me too!!), I think I might take the route of meeting up at a predetermined spot part way through the run. :) Or aaaah you all just gave me a stroke of brilliance: maybe I'll just invite a bunch of other…

Omg I know exactly what you mean! It's especially bad when I'm on break living at my parents' house -- I can control portions well in college, where I live in my own apartment, but I lose all motivation when I'm home. I put a note on the kitchen door that said "Are you hungry?" lol, my parents thought it was weird, but it…

Wow, way to go! You look awesome!! I hope you feel better too! :)

I'm pretty sure Christmas started at 12am on Black Friday... or so my wallet told me when I started holiday shopping! :P Happy Holidays!

I totally agree! I have a wheat allergy (minor, causes skin rashes), so I went on a gluten free diet for a couple of years. Because almost everything sweet and sugary and easy to binge on contains wheat, I definitely lost weight (not sure how much because I wasn't counting then), and I seriously had no food cravings.…

I have a friend who's last name is Bacon (no joke) and he swears he's going to name his kids Christopher Peter Bacon and/or Christina Patricia Bacon just so he can them by their nicknames -- "Get over here, Chris P. Bacon!" Whenever I think of those poor future kids, some of me dies inside... from laughter hahaha

Bump for watching after class! :) Haha, those are seriously the exact words that run through my head when I get on the treadmill at the gym. Run hard or die trying!

LOL I'm pretty sure my guy friends don't even know what spanx are, yet alone have strong opinions on them :P

Just to clarify -- is this a "group" (as in the new mfp feature) or a group just on the forums? :)

I never thought about wearing them to work out! Intuitively, it seems like they'd make it harder to work out (can you imagine try to do curl ups in those?! lol) , but your explanations totally make sense! I'm thinking about getting some but sounds like I'll need to try them on for comfort first! :P

I'm in!! :D (thanks, szimba for bumping this on your pf!)

I think you look great. :) If you're curious about what some other people look like at around your weight and height: http://www.mybodygallery.com/

Totally agree with all of the above. I'm currently 19 years old at 117-119lbs. I lost 10 lbs during the summer eating 1200 and running 30-35 miles per week (and eating my cals back). Since going up to 1400 Cals, I haven't lost inches or pounds. I figure it's because I'm so much less active (still running, but only 10-14…

Wow, you look great and are such an inspiration!!

lol, this is really bad but I usually listen to an audio recording of one of my class lectures! :P If I'm running, at least I can't fall asleep while listening to it.

I totally agree. :(You wouldn't dress up as a binge eater or an hiv patient, would you? This is so ridiculous and a terrible way to raise awareness. Talk about perpetuating stereotypes much... ^ Sizes in the UK are different from those in the US. A UK 6/8 is about 2/4.

I totally have this problem. Could it be a lack of sleep causing you to want more energy (i.e. food)? If you're not really hungry and just feel like snacking, drink some tea or munch on something super low-cal like cucumbers or other veggies. If you're really hungry, eat a real meal with lots of fiber and protein -- but…

BUMP Omg, I'm in love

Haha, thanks for the advice. The effect isn't super dramatic (hasn't affected hand/eye coordination at all) but I think I might wear my contacts from now on. :P

Yes!! Count me in! :D I'm going for 1 lb/week, about 10 lbs total! Can we get a banner together?

I love to slice them up, sprinkle some cinnamon on top, and toss it all the freezer! :) Wait a few hours, and it's like having banana ice cream. Sooooo good and healthy! :)

The crisp smell of morning air right before a run!! Or if we're just going for food, you can't beat freshly baked homemade bread. :)) Mmmm

I'm totally the same way!! I swear, boredom or fatigue make my appetite endless. I try to preoccupy myself by doing something away from food, like reading or exercising. If you just have an oral fixation, chew gum, drink water, or chew ice (lol, sounds stupid but it works). I also like to brush my teeth since the minty…

lol, last time I went to Disneyland I just logged brand-name foods, fruits/veggies, and pineapple Dole ice cream (from the Tiki Room!! It's actually on MFP lol). Everything else I just guestimated. :P @artimiasacorn, Disneyland doesn't serve food from restaurant chains so they have no obligation under California law to…

I love to do long runs in the morning, especially because the weather's so nice and crisp! :) Anyway, the literature on this topic is super controversial. Mayo Clinic suggests eating a small meal at least 1-2 hrs before working out (even in the AM)... <http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/HQ00594_D> while FitSugar and…

Haha, we seriously have almost the exact same situation! :P Until a few years ago, I was a year-long athlete in high school and figure skated too (yeaaah, synchro!) :))) After losing 10 lbs this summer, I'm now at a comfy-ish weight, but I'd like to lose up to 10-15 as well / just get more fit. Haha, and pls add me. I'm…

I love cottage cheese but cannot stand the taste of it with pineapple or any other fruit! It's great with eggs and a bit of pepper though :)

I looove nonfat plain Greek yogurt with a bit of cinnamon or lemon juice + sweetener (I use equal). Frozen applesauce is really good too or just plain frozen fruit, especially grapes, strawberries, bananas (again, I add cinnamon!), or peaches... If you really want something sweet, sorbet isn't a bad option. Sometimes I…
