While there is a guideline there is no absolute number of hours that works for everyone. I'm 24 and I need 9 hours of sleep, while other people my age only need 6. If you are waking without feeling rested it is a good sign that you haven't slept enough. Also, sleep is imperative to how we function! Our bodies continue to…

Thank you so much, really. Your words mean a lot and I appreciate you taking time out to help me.

I prefer white rice to brown rice, hands down. I eat it in moderation so I'm not concerned about the POSSIBLE pros of brown vs white. It was well said about the potatoes. However, white potatoes can spike your blood sugar more than sweet potatoes. Don't look at me for an article, this is from personal experience.

If I didn't have to work and do homework today, I would definitely snuggle up and finish the book I'm reading.

Sadly enough when I was born the nurse turned to my dad and said "Don't worry, she'll get darker" -.- How ignorant! He just cared that I was healthy, didn't care what color I was. Oh goodness I could go on for days. I'll get off this thread now.

My dad is black and my mom is white. I have some native american going back on both sides, but I've been told it's too far back to "count". My ex husband is white. People come up to me and ask "What are you?" all the time. Even random strangers x.x I'm human...I'm american...female...short...could you be more specific? :P…

Totally inspiring. I'm 5'3" (my parents are the shortest of their siblings, who are almost all very tall) and 173. Thank you for posting your pics! You look amazing. and I love that black dress!

I was like that with celery. I would never eat it because I hated the taste, smell, and texture. Now they are a great snack at work. Well done!

I'll say this, its not GOOD for you.

technically now it's made the internets...is your mind blown?

You look amazing and younger too! Congrats!

1. Abs 2. Thighs 3. Triceps ah if only spot reducing was an option....*sigh*

Haha I like this! I just tell people I want to lose weight and they tell me I look fine. Well thanks, but my weight puts me in the obese category and that's NOT fine. Not even close. I've just stopped talking about it to people who aren't supportive.

bump, thank you for not dropping me! It's been a crazy few weeks.

I recently found out that I've never had a flu shot (I'm 24). I thought it had just been awhile and I didn't remember, but my parents and I were talking about it the other day and none of us have ever had a flu shot. I've had other vaccinations, so its not that they were opposed to vacs. I've also never had the flu. I can…

bump, because I forgot the last one -.-

I'm on day 3! My legs wern't sore after day one, but they were after day two because I didn't stretch enough afterward. Looking forward to it!

Very nice! I always look at the 30DS before and afters and notice that the stomach usually has the most difference in tone. Keep up the good work. I'm on day 3 ^.^

I did day two today. My legs are sore because I didn't stretch enough afterwards though. I log it as circuit training and use an HRM to enter the calories. I'm hoping I can stick with it this time

yup!

thank you so much missjelika! exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

Well done everyone! I'm so motivated to stay on the loser board. I just have to stay away from the evil halloween candy!

I'm going to have to go with Grape. and Jelly, not jam. If we're talking about marmalade then I'm with the orange, but I've got some awesome lemon and cherry stuff right now.

Oh I plan on being on the loser board again this week! Its going to be a busy week at work but I am up for the challenge. Let's lose it everyone! I want to see a milestone for myself this week, that is my goal ^.^

I'm from that area, but currently living in japan. Welcome to MFP! Feel free to friend me.
