Well hey guys, I'm not as old as some of you (I'm a freshman!) but I'd definitely like some friends! I go to Washington State University... the cafeteria is great and it's a lot easier to be healthy (and this campus is one GIANT hill, haha). Feel free to add me. :)

Does that work nowadays? When I first made this post, the picture wouldn't show up if you just copy/pasted.

Nice hair.

personality, you look like a fun guy. :)

Your smile.

Thanks for all the responses, but I'm going to bump so I can hopefully get a few more. :)

Sorry, I stayed up late last night so my thinking isn't very clear today. I mean I don't like to eat a lot before I exercise because it makes me feel sick while running. But if I don't eat something, I usually pass out (because the last time I will have eaten something will be more than 12 hours before). As for the yogurt,…

Where did you guys find it? I ate it all the time when I lived in Germany and I haven't found it in the US!

Roast turkey, yukon gold mashed potatoes, and spaghetti squash with garlic and tomato. Yay for not having to cook your own meals and getting too eat at the college dining halls! (boo for the sodium, though...)

Swimming. Lots and lots of swimming. It's low-impact but still a really great workout and burns a significant amount of calories. As for the food... eh, I have a feeling you might be hungry for awhile, as your body adjusts.

Dang it! I missed the deadline!

OMG. Bump bump bump! I am near tears right now.

bump :)

I lived in Germany for a year as a foreign exchange student. I managed to lose weight without trying, and trust me, I have gummibears, a pretzel, and a milkshake EVERY DAY. Can you join a sports club? They're usually very cheap. I was in a badminton group, it was about 5 euros per month, and I trained for badminton two…

I was going to use my plan from high school, which used 12 reps. I like the idea of stopping once I lose form. It's a good idea. I need to make sure my form is correct first, though. I definitely need to check out my gym's free weight room to see what they have. I'm assuming they have power racks (squat racks) and plenty…

Unfortunately, it's not my first time back at the gym. I've already used my free training sessions and paying for them is not in my budget (I can barely afford the gym membership as it is). Yeah, I'm talking about free weights. If there's a power rack, do you think I'd be okay for squats and bench press, then find…

BUMP! You are a God. :)

Sounds awesome! Thanks!

Make your diary public, and we'll be able to help more. A lot of things can cause weight gain. I'm up 6 pounds this week. I'm also on my period. Three weeks ago, I gained two pounds overnight. I was also 1500 over on sodium. I can lose two pounsd (water weight) in a week by drinking plenty of fluids. I know it's tempting,…

I'm 5'6.5", so I'm pretty close to it, haha. My starting weight was somewhere around 205, I weighed in at 174.0 this morning. :) I've lost right around 30 pounds, here's my pictures: In high school, before Winter Formal Another bad photo- I was supposed to look manly, no worries! This was at 25 pounds lost (I have some…

OMFG. Yes. WHY HASN'T HER TEAM REALIZED HOW MEAN SHE IS? If I was on her team, she'd be gone on day one. God, she's so annoying. I swear, you'd think she was 15 or something with the way she's acting.

You are my hero. 'Nuff said.

Hmm, this seems strange too. Occasionally I'm the same way- hit cals and macros but still starving. I usually feel this way the day after a big workout, or if I don't combine the correct macros at a certain meal (for example, eating only protein at one meal, then only carbs at the next meal. I need to balance them to stop…

I used to listen to music when I run, but now I don't... as much. I mean, I still wear headphones. I still have music blasting in my ears. But I don't really listen to the music as much anymore. I'm not at the point where I can run for more than 3 minute at a time, so I do intervals. During my walking interval, I listen to…

It's actually true! When we were learning about the senses in my Psychology class, we tried this experiment. Nobody could tell the difference!

Bump! Looks delicious, thanks!

I can't take naps. I'd rather fight sleep than take a nap. I never, ever, ever wake up from a nap feeling refreshed. Always cranky and even more tired, strangely enough. The only time I nap is when I'm sick, and that's usually with the help of some NyQuil or Thermaflu...

<Ask MFPfriend on a date, what? :)

All of the above. In the beginning, I pre-logged, because it helped me get close to my goals because I probably couldn't have told you how many calories were in an egg when I started this, haha. Now, I mostly real-time log, because I've got a basic idea of the calories/fat/carbs/protein in foods I eat often, and because…

Okay, so you're comparing a Big Mac to a Footlong sandwich? Which one is bigger? ALSO, you're not considering the fact that Subway has healthier options than a footlong cheesesteak sandwich. Turkey on wheat bread, for example. An entire footlong for that would probably only be maybe 100-200, MAYBE 300 calories more than a…
