Actually colonization on mars isn't beyond our grasp, it is something that's definitely planned... except the whole thing is funded by a private corporation and it's a one-way trip. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2154336/New-Mars-One-mission-aims-establish-human-colony-Red-Planet-2023.html

It shocks me how it's now normal to shove yourself into a pair of too-small-pants that do nothing to flatter your body type simply in the name of fashion. It seems more logical, if you are sensitive about how you look, to dress for your specific body type, not emulate every new fashion in the store windows. Some styles…

I used to do weight loss the old fashioned way. Now that I've got a HRM and a kitchen scale, though, I don't think I could go back. They've been super helpful. In the end they aren't necessary, I guess, but it doesn't hurt to be a little more accurate.

dark auburn, lighter reddish orange, stoplight red, bright orange, purple, blue, brown, strawberry blonde, black, green

Exercise is great for reducing love handles/muffin tops but there's also another solution... don't wear pants with a waist that's too small for you. Simple.

I second this.

Tall, lanky (not bony but not super muscular either), dark hair, blue eyes. Pale.

When I stepped on the scale on New Years Day and realized I was close to 200 pounds. I was a girl who was used to being between 105 to 120 for the bulk of my life. This was not acceptable... and so that was the moment I snapped and said right, enough is enough.

I just replied to a quote thread but I'll reply again because I love these quotes... "Why do you have to be a nonconformist like everyone else?" - James Thurber and "Nothing is more exhausting than the task that is never started." - Gretchen Rubin

Not quite an online experience, but in real life, this one guy said if I dated him he would in return take me to Disneyworld and buy me an iMac. I wondered what other conditions this guy might have that weren't so positive, so I said no immediately.

I decide to stop on the day I am reverting. I never wait until tomorrow. I say to myself: "this evening is going to be a good evening even if I screwed up the rest of the day. I'm going to eat only healthy foods this evening and lots of water and tea. I'm going to make this evening something to be happy about." Never, ever…

When my mother died and my bipolar relapsed at around the same time I lost motivation as well... what I did was instead of making it an every day thing, I made it something to aim for every hour. I took it just tidbits at a time. I wrote down one task to do each hour and one health-related goal. I did gain some weight, but…

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. I needed something light and funny.

I'm one of those people who doesn't add anyone, but it's not because I don't like other people or am on a high horse. It's because I lose weight best on my own. I need to kick my own butt and it just works better for me that way. Forums are fun, but it's as social as i want to be on this site for now. I did once have a…

Congratulations. :)

Yes. I plan to make my profile and diary public when I reach my goal weight. I'll also start friending people at that point. Maintenance is much harder than weight loss for me and I'll need the support.

I would not react well... 2 months is excessive.

Congrats!

I bought various gifts for myself ranging from clothes to video games. When I got home, I wrapped every one in christmas paper and I get to open them as I reach the corresponding weights.

The two things that has solved my late night snacking were pills that make me sleep like a log and an early bedtime. I'm much less likely to snack in the morning so it's early to bed, early to rise (makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise). Sorry, I just had to add that last part.

I'm a penny pincher so I buy second hand. Well, except for things like bras and undies. The idea of used underwear... no. Just no.

As she should. LOL to the color coordinating tits comment.

No. It's gender exclusive. If you do it, Jillian Michaels will find out and hunt you down. :P

I would go see a doctor about this.

I paint, but it's more than a hobby for me. These are a couple of my more forum appropriate pieces...

It's a toss up between a bag of powdered sugar or a bag of hot cocoa powder. Both were kinda gross, but I finished them off.

I love this guy's youtube haikus... http://youtu.be/zUnVLELDzzI http://youtu.be/_FJUopOLhtQ http://youtu.be/B_v12D0-bWw Also... http://www.youtube.com/user/cyriak Cyriak is amazing.

I bought a heart rate monitor today. I can't wait to see the difference between what MFP logs and what the monitor reads. Currently I've been logging only half the time I actually exercise because I think when I put the full time in, the calories MFP claims I burn are a lot more than i actually do. Better to be a little…

At 22 I was pretty hot, a solid 8. Now days... 3 or 4. I got a lot bigger, after all, and a heavier weight doesn't suit my small bone frame. I have read somewhere, however, that we largely overestimate our own attractiveness. So really, who knows.
