Eh, I'm not so certan it's a rude question, depending on how you are shaped. Late-term pregnancy has a specific shape and all. I once asked a woman when she was due because she had a thin face/neck, thin arms, thin legs, and this huge, very round, very protruding belly area, and she was waddling in that way pregnant women…

Shyness is not synonymous with Introversion. Shyness is based on fear of judgement often coupled with low self-esteem. Being an introvert means you like spending time alone and are dislike/are overwhelmed by large groups of people. You get your energy, you're recharged from spending time alone. You do best with people…

If you are afraid of it taking over your life again I suggest doing just 30 minutes of exercise 3 days a week first thing in the morning. Then don't think about it anymore after that. Also since your exercise made you ill perhaps you should try knocking down the intensity a bit. For example, if you were walking at 4.5…

This^^^ I work out for at least one hour every single day. That is not obsession, that is how humans are meant to live. We are supposed to be fit and active all day long. People nowadays think being sedentary is perfectly normal, and it's not. I blame the modern age; culture, civilization, etc...we no longer have to…

Then you just change it to lowercase. Find the actual adress of the photo you want, then to post it here simply put it within the image tag. It has to be lowercase on MFP or it will not work. img not IMG If it copies as IMG then simply change it to img

lowercase img not IMG

Oh and I forgot the gym, we have a family membership at the YMCA. It was $100 joiner fee and then $76 a month. Well worth the money!

Hmmm, let me see: 1) Good shoes - Asics. I buy a new pair every 4-6 months. They last a good long while even with all the walking I do so I have 3 pairs since I started losing weight (Jan 2012) that I rotate. About $80 each, I always catch the sales. 2) Hula hoop - I bought a kid's toy hoop I bought at walmart for $3. Just…

Took mine end of December 2012 :smile:

OP are you serious?? Just in case you are not being silly or joking...whole foods basically means eating the food as unprocessed as possible. Eat an actual apple instead of an apple pop tart. Eat an actual chicken breast instead of chicken nuggets from McDonald's. It does not mean to eat the whole food i.e eat an entire…

Well done! Congratulations!

But your post did not come off as a 'joke' or as you 'teasing'. None of your posts prior to this even hinted at joking. It really read as if you were truly disgusted by reading the title, so much so that you felt the need to come into the thread and repeatedly post about your disgust. That's why people called you on it.

I also think you're not eating enough. I exercise a lot too and I couldn't make it on such few calories. I know it seems counter-intuitive but try eating a bit more, like at least 1700 calories. Or exercise less. Personally I don't just exercise for weight loss but also for well-being, so I'm not going to exercise less, so…

OP you also brought up an interesting point, what you wrote about this white guy giving off the air that he felt your sister should be thankful that he recognized her beauty. You didn't say that exactly but that was the gist, right? I think at the root of this is the general perception and stereotype of black women that…

I get where you are coming from OP. I totally understand what you mean. My husband is white and I have dated men of various races/ethnicities before him. There are two types of people who date/marry interracially: those who fetishize people of racial groups different than theirs and those who recognize that people are…

Wow! That's amazing!!

I'm going to send you a friend request, because I understand your struggle. I've been there, I've experienced severe childhood trauma, extreme domestic violence as a young woman, and subsequent mental illness. However, my life now is AMAZING and I've been stable for many years now. I believe you can have this too!…

This site has an amazing message board for those with mental illness: http://crazyboards.org Best of luck to you! (((Hugs)))

When this happens I call it a Fat Attack or Fat Fit. What I do is have a serving of the 'bad' food I'm craving. Then I go do something else. Exercise, read a book, work on one my projects (writing, sewing, etc.), cleaning/organizing, something physically or mentally active for about 20 minutes. By then the serving of the…

Wow!! You look like you lost way more than 80 pounds! Well done!

Why is it unrealistic...why do you want to carry around 20-30 pounds of excess fat?
