Hello fellow Nerds! I love GoT, I play Tera Online currently, and I play D&D as well. I want to cosplay ( I have some fantastic ideas for costumes but am too embarrassed by my size to go through with them). Feel free to add me as well :)

1. Today is a new day, and a new month, and I am recommitting to a new me! My pants are already starting to fall off. I love it! 2. I am going to try a new healthy recipe every saturday, either for breakfast or for dinner. Time to put my love of cooking to good use!

Just a quick check in, work is busy today! I have lost 10lbs so far since starting this journey on 8/1/12. Go me!

Lana, I know what you mean, not because my bf is un-supportive, but there are many others in my life who aren't. What I have learned is to keep repeating this mantra "I am doing this for me, myself, and I; and everyone else can just get over it." Since he doesn't do the cooking when you're around, you could try talking to…

Well I didn't post anything all weekend, it was kinda crazy for me, had a half day at work which turned into a 3/4 day because someone else screwed up and I had to fix it :mad: Then went home, packed really quick, and went to my folks for the weekend. We picked out the excursions for the cruise I am going with them in…

One piece of advise I can offer (I love to cook as well) measure measure measure. And I do mean MEASURE. Break out those measuring cups, spoons, food scale, the works. Pay really close attention to how much of ANYTHING you are putting in your food. After a while you won't need to measure because you will just be able to…

Thursday Truth(TMI WARNING!): One of the reasons why I am trying to get healthy and lose weight is so I can shave my legs more often. I wear pants all the time because I am embarrassed by how fat my thighs are, and I have a teeny tiny shower and cannot bend over and reach my toes. Sure I could pay for waxing, but it's…

Wednesday Wish- I wish for things at my job to settle down. With all the systems issues going on people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Which doesn't help our customers one bit.

Bumping to watch later

Ok I am finally all caught up on everyone's posts. To echo what Robin was saying, soo many NSV and SV's, congratulations to everyone! For those of you struggling with health issues I hope that you get better soon, I am sending positive thoughts your way. One thing about health I would like to mention is you can never be…

Again really busy at work and at home, one roommate moving out, two moving in, craziness! Tuesday Goals: I am not doing well on the walking on my lunch. I have been doing well on the eating right even when we go out. Last night my bf and I went to Outback because after all the craziness at work we didn't get home until…

OK so, Monday Check-In: I have not been able to do ANY exercise at work. OUr systems have been f'ing up since Wed of last week. I am hoping the bugs will crawl out of the systems tonight so I can have a peaceful-ish the rest of the week and get my work done so I don't have to do it on my lunch. Other than that though I…

BUMP!

Bump

I will try and respond more personally to as many as I can later today, but we are super busy at work and I am not sure if I will have the time. Friday Fitness: To continue to try and walk 30min a day during the first half of my lunch.

Thursday Truth: I feel like everyone is watching me all the time. When I walk during my lunch at work. When I eat (especially at restaurants when I ask for substitutions to make my meals more healthy). Even at the farmer's market I feel like people were wondering, "What the heck is that girl doing here, she looks like…

Heh, apparently I am right handed and right eye dominant. But I detest math and logical thinking, I write and read and play D&D in my spare time :)

Wednesday Wish: That it didn't hurt so much to start exercising. I did a 20min walk on my lunch and I was so tired, hot, sweaty, and my legs and feet hurt that I was like, "screw this!". I hope that I will be able to get up the motivation to do it again tomorrow.

New Tuesday Goals: -Log everything I eat every day no matter how big or small it is. -Carry around measuring cups so I can make sure I eat the proper amount of food when I go out to eat. (This will also make it easier to track) -Start walking during the first 30min of my 1hr lunch at work.

I know how you feel. Have you tried just buying a bunch of healthy snacks and then grazing all day on those instead of eating whatever is handy? I did that this last time of the month (I get mine every month so I've had practice) and it totally helped me not to over eat. I love love love the Special K chocolate bars. They…

I am going to copy this, print it out, and post it in my cubicle. Very inspirational, thank you! Tuesday Goal: It isn't weight related, but I will be getting exercise. I want to clean my closet and bathroom this week. I need to find a place for stuff that I can't throw away but don't use often (like the cat carrier) so…

Lin, that is an amazing story! I wish I had that kind of will power. I bought a homemade strawberry cake at the Farmer's market on Saturday. I haven't eaten any yet, but I want to so badly. I may just tell my bf that he can have the whole darn thing.

Wow the other thread went super fast! Good morning everyone! I wish I had time to read over everybody's posts but today is going to be a super busy day for me. Monday Check In: I was at or under my calorie goal all weekend, and that is even when going to Golden Corral Buffet. What really helped me was the MFP mobile APP. I…

Man your veggies and fruit look WAY better than mine do, wish I had a Farmer's Market like that here! Sunday Share: I am 28 years old and work for a pharmaceutical wholesaler. I can actually tell people I am a drug dealer and be completely accurate and legal, lol! Haven't had breakfast yet because I had to run the…

Saturday Success: Even though everyone that was supposed to go to the Farmer's Market with me flaked out, I still went and got the stuff I needed to make my spaghetti squash dinner. Hopefully it will taste really yummy, not really expecting it to taste like spaghetti but I need to do something. I also started wearing my…

I'm not sure if it can be frozen or not, but I figure if I stick it in the fridge and tell my roommates to dig in, it will be gone (two broke college students living with me, they can pay their rent n stuff, but only just so not much left for food) plus when I do make it it will be for me and the boyfriend (if he likes it)…

I have a sister that acts like this too. The best thing you can do is to ignore his behavior. When they realize it isn't getting them what they want they will try something else (hopefully something better). I hope he calms down and apologizes. No parent should ever hear(read) those words coming from their kids.

Friday Fitness: I am going to the Farmer's Market tomorrow to buy fresh fruits and veggies and then some of my gal pals and I are going to try out healthy recipes we found online. I picked the Hungry Girl's recipe for spaghetti squash as a substitute for pasta with ground turkey meatballs. I will let you know how it works…

Bump-for when I have a success story :)

This is one of the reasons why I want to lose weight too. I love theme parks but have a hard time fitting into the rides. This is also why my Wed Wish was for my bf to lose weight with me, because he already can't fit in the rides and I know he misses out. (His issue is a gut, mine is the boobies.)
