I'm in! SW: 142.5 CW: 136 GW: 125 Weigh in Dates: 9/1 - 136 9/8 9/15 9/22 9/31 I've given up alcohol for a month - I'd better get something out of it!

I always lose weight in my breasts first :(. Last place I lose weight: my giant thighs :(.

My NSV today was changing out my navel ring to a smaller length - I've lost so much fat in my stomach that I don't need my crazy long barbell anymore!

No holes barred FTW!

This. This. THIS.

My husband and I pretty much knew we were going to get married as soon as we started dating (he was my best friend for seven years before we got around to dating). I let him pick out the ring because I wanted it to be from him, but I told him what my requirements were (ruby center stone, not ridiculously huge). He ended up…

Seriously...he did you a favor. Don't bother calling him when you do reach your weight loss goal. What's he going to do, dump you every time you slip and gain a little weight? Better to find someone who can love you at any stage on your journey.

I vote find a new trainer. ALSO, if your husband is secure, tell him about the crush. If there's a chance he'll fly off the handle, don't risk it. But every time I have a crush on someone who isn't my husband, he's the first person I tell. We talk about why I'm feeling the way that I do, and try to figure out if it's…

Psh, living with my ex-husband was a nightmare. He was a slob, but only my messes upset him (I'm a shoes-everywhere-except-the-closet kind of girl). He insisted that I clean the kitchen after he cooked, but then that rule went out the window when I started cooking for us. He also refused to turn down his videogames so that…

I'm replaying Dragon Age II, after replaying through all three Mass Effects. Afterwards I'm committing to Uncharted 3, since I promised my husband I'd stop avoiding it.

I eat back most of mine. I'm a pretty avid biker (and a very reluctant jogger), and I've found that if I don't consistently eat back my exercise calories I can't perform as well when I bike or jog.

Try them while drunk? To be quite honest, up until a few years ago I had a major aversion to vegetables. However, I started to man up by doing a lot of the things that people have already listed on here. And on a couple of occasions, I've really drunk and ended up eating something that I normally wouldn't eat - and decided…

Um, wow. That's just horrible. The two guys you referenced here sound like d-bags. I would be LIVID if someone asked me for a full body shot. I am not a car, you don't need to see me from all angles before you consider a test drive. Yeesh.

One cup of coffee isn't going to kill you, especially if you're not dousing it in sugar and cream :). A little caffeine is good for metabolism anyway. Personally, I'm willing to kill people if I don't get my two cups of green tea a day...

I am a HUGE fan of Halloween, AKA National Come-As-You-Aren't Day :). Usually my friends and I do a theme and coordinate costumes. Our best effort was when about eight of us dressed us as characters for Mortal Kombat, but I think we'll have that beat this year (we're doing Archer this year).

*Waves* Massive nerd right here!

When I was just learning how to strength train, my friend gave me this little routine for my upper body. I'm not sure how strong you are, but when I first began I used five lb weights because I was a wuss. Routine was as follows: 3 sets of bicep curls, 15 reps 3 sets of tricepts extensions, 15 reps 3 sets of lateral side…

Massive product shortage at my work today...no one is happy right now :(.

Being able to say NO to free pizza made my day!

Is there any chance you can sneak in a work out prior to dinner? That way you get more calories. If not, a 3 oz chicken breast is about 140 calories. That and steamed veggies should keep you at your goal.

This happens in my office too! Someone bought pizza for us today, and I had about six people ask me why I wasn't eating pizza. I had to go into the breakroom, pretend like I was going to eat pizza, and then sneak off before anyone noticed. Then I had to eat my sandwich in secret :P.

40 minutes of 15 MPH biking (I know, I'm a wuss) 20-30 minutes of weight lifting

I have found some of the BEST clothes at thrift stores...especially skirts.

PBJ sandwich (we desperately need to go grocery shopping). I kept it under 400 calories so I'm pretty happy with myself.

"You're living life for better things, while I'm living for me." I actually have that tattooed on me.

My husband and I can do hiking/biking/running activities together as a recreational thing. But working out together? Forget it - our work out styles are not compatible at all. He likes the gym atmosphere, while I like to lift weights in the privacy of my own home. Sometimes we'll bike together or jog together, but every…

Meh. I generally don't ogle avatars :P.

My parents didn't really try to teach me proper nutrition, so I was one of those clueless people trying to lose weight and not understanding why I couldn't lose weight while eating a diet that mostly consisted of Cheetos and diet soda... I'm much better about my eating habits now, but I definitely understand how people can…

Both of my parents (divorced) are in interracial relationships. My husband's best friend is in an interracial relationship. MY best friend is in an interracial relationship. I've never even considered having a problem with it, nor have any of these people openly experienced any kind of weirdness/judgment as far as I know.…

Depends on the woman, although I tend to be attracted to half-sleeves on women :).
