Or AM I human?? o_O *spine glows red*

Oh yeah and this... this is nuts. For one thing, I'm 6'0". But also that guy looks JUST like Spock!!!

I figured I should follow up on this post with pics of me from this year's Dragon*Con. I had a blast and I think you can tell just by how happy I look!! ^_^

Woohoo!!! Thank you! I'm glad to find fellow geeks on here. Thought I might have singled myself out :P

*looks up Threadless* Oh no, don't introduce me to another shirt site, lol. It was from Ript Apparel :)

Lol, the shirt is from Ript Apparel (https://www.riptapparel.com/). Shirts are only available for 24 hours and then they're gone. Although they DID offer the shirt again a couple of weeks later. Keep an eye out on TeeFury, they might eventually have it. There are other tshirt sites but those are the two I frequent the…

Why thank you ;D

Thank you! And better than the people I see every day are the people I typically just see once every year. I'm very excited for next week when I'll likely receive I lot of compliments :D

Awesome! I know a few people who were also at GenCon :) I'm glad I could be helpful. You can do it!!!

I'm going to bump this a few more times today just to make sure people get a chance to read it. Posts get buried pretty quick!!

You guys are awesome!!! :D

It's so goofy, lol. You use the link that photobucket gives you that has the brackets [IMG][/IMG] but you need to change IMG to lowercase. Apparently MFP doesn't like uppercase? I had trouble with it too!

Thanks everyone! I apologize for the length of my story. Maybe I should have made bullet points instead, lol.

Dammit. Apologies for the pictures. Working on it.

My sugar mostly comes from fruit actually. I typically have one banana and apple a day. And light yogurt. Nothing too serious. Avoid candy at all costs. Although I was bad about that in October for sure, lol.

Strength training has been something I've considered. I have a kettle bell but I just haven't been using it like I should be. And I actually have p90x but used it like once, lol. New Year's Resolution? Sounds like it. And I can admit that what I eat probably still isn't ideal for dedicated health nuts (like rice, beans,…

Exactly! MFP should really look into separating the raw and artificial sugars. Otherwise it's just something to shrug off with fruit. At the same time I know you shouldn't over-indulge in fruit either. The fruit I have per day is probably what we should all limit ourselves too. Probably. I'm glad MFP keep me in check with…

I'm able to scan everything I eat (or easily look it up) with the iPhone. It's all correct, and I am energetic and loosing weight, so I suppose that just confirms what I thought to begin with :)

Ha, I don't know either man. I used to eat so much before, it was ridiculous. But since I started dieting I've just held back and eventually I guess my stomach shrunk and I just don't need as much. That's all I can figure.

Oh I always keep my sodium under, that's not a problem now. I do go over on sugars though because I eat fruit. But the stupid thing is I only have like one apple, one cup of grapes, and one banana a day. Maybe some yogurt as well. I don't see how MFP considers that bad as the first three are natural. The apple alone eats…

While the blunt honesty is a bit shallow I can't deny that's my primary goal, lol. (in response to trophywife)

That's kindof how I feel now, that I'm carrying too much weight to allow me to exercise effectively. I'll still try and do whatever I can so I can get used to it, but I don't expect I'll do any real exercising (like jogging a mile) until I get about 15-25 pounds lighter.

Yikes, that's actually not something I thought about. I naively assumed that my body would just suck in, lol. Well, one more reason to exercise then, but as I said I was never considering just losing weight by diet alone. It was a stand alone question but exercise IS there! So no worries :)

Oh no doubt, I'm not discouraging exercise at all. I was just asking about the diet aspect of it. But yeah I'd have to say I'm quite overweight but certainly not past the point of no return. However I tried jogging yesterday and it was exhausting. So this is going to be a slow pathetic start. But something is better than…
