Big News! Tom Baker is doing a Skype Q&A at (Re)Generation Who on March 28 from noon to 1:30. Limited edition autographed photos are also available for pre-order. https://regenerationwho.com/2014/08/20/tom-baker-joins-regeneration-who-from-the-future-to-kick-off-saturdays-doctor-who-convention-fun/

Two Doctors! Sylvester McCoy will also be at the convention. https://regenerationwho.com/2014/07/15/regeneration-who-announces-a-new-guest-seventh-doctor-sylvester-mccoy/

From the con-chair, "So, if we can't go to a restaurant with the incoming guests, you'll be making us a meal for them to welcome them." This is going to be a true test of my professionalism. *Kermit flails*

I wish I could join you but I have a prior commitment on Saturday. Thank you again for organizing and leading the hike last weekend; we had a great time and the view was beautiful.

I'm bringing my best friend. See you at 8.

It's about a 40 minute drive for me so I'm game if you're still planning on doing the hike.

I started watching new Who between semesters and now I'm hooked. So hooked that I did a Doctor Who wedding cake for the final project of my cakes class because the design came to me in a dream (see icon for decor item). I'm trying to get into classic Who but there's all those missing episodes and I'm a little lost. Hermits…

Aloha Roger, I currently work full time in an office and I'm attending culinary school at night. I've been using MFP to at least maintain, and I've successfully lost some weight, while I'm in school. I'm doing both culinary and baking/pastry so there's a lot of butter and cream in my life; thankfully I have co-workers and…

I'm in the process of getting back with the program after a stress induced yo-yo relationship with convenience food this semester. My first step is breakfast because it really does lay a foundation for the rest of the day. I'm on week two of my modified Good Eats smoothie (4 oz Greek yogurt, 3 oz Pom, 1 medium banana, 6 oz…

If I'm in the kitchen, and I'm usually in the kitchen, then I call it a wash and say that I burned it off from busting hump all day long. If I'm retaining for the B&B then I'm usually bringing food for the hospitality table so I know what's in it. Otherwise, I try to be smart about my choices...start with protein, avoid…

Aloha from Atlantia! I'm 8 pounds away from my "I need to do this before I can be head cook" goal. I'm head cook for a small event (lunch and dinner for 50 to 75) in January and I'm going to make it...even if I continue at this snail's pace. I'm doing MFP because I started culinary school last summer and eating gourmet…

SW: 215 lbs CW: 215 lbs August GW: 210 lbs 8/2: 214 lbs 8/8: 213.2 lbs 8/15: 214.2 8/22: 211.8 lbs 8/31: 209.8 lbs Total lost: 5.2 lbs *happy dance* Now I need to keep from backsliding while I'm visiting my family this weekend. I'll just have to do a lot of walking to counteract all the good food. Thanks for the challenge…

My addiction to the Pendergast books was probably the best thing that I got from my ex.

Before I had a smartphone and before I found MFP I tracked my intake in a paper notebook. I used the Calorie King database to manually add up my totals so I didn't have a nice running tally like I do with MFP to see if I have to take an extra long walk in the afternoon to burn off the latte I had at breakfast so I have…

Today I'm a nerd because the highlights of my evening were clarifying butter, researching iPod nanos, and watching Futurama on Netflix.

Aloha from Atlantia! Did anybody go to Pennsic? I don't have enough vacation time to attend so I stayed home but I heard that my cooks guild put on a good spread at the Queen's tea. How do you deal with feast? I'm a cook so I'm usually in the kitchen and I don't like to eat my own cooking, tired of looking at it by that…

Craft - foodie - SW - comedy - board/card gaming - Nerdfighter - SCA...always in the wrong fandom to geek out/nerdgasm over things with my real life friends. Honestly, I'm a nerd passing in the world of geekdom.

SW: 215 lbs CW: 215 lbs August GW: 210 lbs 8/2: 214 lbs 8/8: 213.2 lbs 8/15: 214.2 8/22: 211.8 lbs 9 days left in the month and 1.8 pounds left to lose. How is everybody else doing?

No love for Mythbuster goddess Kari Byron?

Aloha kakahiaka! SW: 215 CW: 215 August GW: 210 8/2: 214 8/8: 213.2 8/15: 214.2 (I was sick last week) I back slid a lot due to being sick and reverting to comfort foods. Happy half way point!

How is everybody doing today? SW: 215 CW: 215 GW: 210 8/2: 214 8/8: 213.2 I'm not sure if this is still water weight or if actually tracking my intake is making that much of a difference but I'll take the downward change.

I clean when I'm angry or depressed. If I feel like I can't control a situation then I exert control upon my environment by cleaning and reorganizing. I like to listen to podcasts when I cook and clean. My current rotation is comedy heavy: WTF, Nerdist, Smartest Man in the World, Judge John Hodgman, The Bugle, This…

I stress bake. My college roommates always knew when I had a paper due the next day because they'd wake up to loaves of bread, cookies, cakes, and muffins. I also like to embroider, spin, weave, or naalbind because they give me instant gratification and it's something to do with my hands while I watch things on Netflix or…

Today I'm a nerd because my #fridayreads is Daz buoch von guoter spise, a 14th century German cookbook.

Aloha! I'm Akiyo and I'm an Office Ninja. Files will appear on your desks before you ask for them, not as good as Radar but close. I'm also working on a culinary arts degree in the evenings and I'm active in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). So my real power and passion is cooking. I yell "There isn't enough…

Aloha! Sorry, I was already at work (not getting naked here) when I realized that it was the 1st yesterday. I weigh myself in the morning before I get dressed to eliminate clothing variable. SW: 215 CW: 215 GW: 210 8/2: 214 We can do this!

SW: 215 lbs CW: 215 lbs GW: 210 lbs Weigh in Dates: 8/1 8/8 8/15 8/22 8/31 Total weight lost: Just for fun: I'm buying myself a new set of pots and pans when I manage to maintain a weight under 200 lbs for three months. No more hand me down, Teflon coated, probably manufactured before I was born cookware. We can do this!

Aloha! I'm Akiyo and I'm 31 years old. I live in the DC metro area and work in Baltimore. Office done by day and culinary student by night. I'm doing this because I have back problems, excessive sitting caused my S1 to get stuck, and losing weight is one of the biggest things I can do to reduce visits to the chiropractor.…

Aloha! I'm Akiyo and I'm a culinary arts student and occasional food blogger. I'm currently between semesters so I'm practicing my techniques in preparation for classes starting up again at the end of August. This, of course, means that I'm eating all this good food but not walking the 2+ miles I did in the school kitchen.…

Aloha! I'm Akiyo and I live in Bowie, MD. I'm an office drone by day and a culinary student by night. I'm here because I'm tired of being sore and....well, tired. I want to lose weight so I'll have more energy and, hopefully, control my back pain so I can reduce my visits to the chiropractor. The short term goal is to lose…
