I don't play EVE either, but I have a friend who does. He talks about it endlessly. From what I can recall, Dust 514 takes place on planets found within the EVE galaxy. You play a mercenary for one corporation or another and you'd be fighting for control over sections of land. Your actions on the planet will effect game…

OKCupid.com in 2008. We met for the first time September 29th that year after sending messages back and forth for about a month. It was an old profile I rarely checked since I wasn't interested in getting into a new relationship at the time. There's a section on the profile page where they ask you who you want to contact…

Check out torrid.com. I'm not sure if they sell actual sets, but you should be able to find things that match anyway!

My boyfriend does so many amazing things for me all the time! He fixes my lunch for me on the days I work and cooks dinner nearly every day. He takes care of the garbage and the dishes. He has no qualms about cleaning the bathroom (the one room in the place I despise cleaning). He loves me unconditionally even when I'm in…

Me too! I've also been known to enjoy the Vitamin Water XXX flavor and Minute Maid Lemonade.

I absolutely adore fruit! I eat way too much of it to be honest and I'm sure that's one reason I've had a hard time losing weight. Too much sugar in my diet.

I'm not *from* Kentucky, but I do currently live in Frankfort! I came down to Lexington for school (not UK) and then stuck around after I graduated.

I've been very lucky recently. I actually got my mom to join MFP and she is doing well in tracking her calories. We're making these decision together. On top of that, my boyfriend (who I share an apartment with) happily goes along with my new eating choices *and* exercises with me. My best friend actually introduced me to…

This is one of the reasons I love the MFP app. I can log through the day with little trouble and I can scan anything with a barcode. I've found it's made things incredibly easy. I also tend to eat the same thing for breakfast most days out of the week so all I have to do is find it on my list to add it to my day.

Bump for later perusal.

Thank you for sharing this! I find it even more inspirational than I normally would if only because you're from my neck of the woods! I love reading success stories on MFP, but for some reason, they mean so much more when they're local. Congrats on your weight loss, your health, and the news coverage!

Hello awesome person! Welcome to MFP! I am also 5'6" though I weigh a little more than you. I'll be 28 in a matter of a few months and am a bit of a gamer myself. I burn if I so much as look out a window. :ohwell: I guess what I'm saying is, it sounds like we have a lot in common! It would be great to both offer you some…

I've never played EVE, but I have a friend who does. I *feel* like I play it vicariously through him though. He always has new stories of epic missions (PvP of course) he's participated in.

I bought a dress about 6 months ago that should have been in my size...but it wasn't. Instead, I accidentally got it a size too small and since I bought it on clearance, I couldn't return it. My first mini goal is to wear that dress. Beyond that, I want to: 1.) be able to go on walks around town with my boyfriend without…

I'm a teensy bit jealous of your job. Mine sounds more nerdy than it is I guess. I work Help Desk so I'm not quite in IT...but all my coworkers come to me for the "techie" questions. My boyfriend (who I haven't quite talked into joining MFP yet) actually gets to write and illustrate for gaming companies and a gaming…

ISFJ Though I'm only just barely a J. I work in the inbetween land of IT and Caseworkers that is called Help Desk.

I've got to try this! Thanks for sharing!

I would suggest going to the functions with a plan in mind of what you're going to eat. Put that food on your plate and politely refuse seconds if asked. I find it far too difficult to say "I can never eat _____ again." That attitude has never helped me before. So if the functions are a regular thing, maybe pick out only…

My love's pick up line was "I'm not a pirate but I did just finish writing a game about pirates." I swooned so hard for that. I'm definitely more of a casual gamer - and that spans across PC, console, board, card, and pen/paper games. My boyfriend actually gets to make a living writing and illistrating for the latter 3 of…

I have an incredibly common name. So much so that even in my incredibly tiny home town, I'd have to give additional information to verify my identity when picking up prescriptions. There are lots of evil mes out there on Facebook.

Huge Yay! And let us know if it's good!

I will, very occasionally, drink one of the shakes in the morning. But only if I'm running really late and I've found an amazing deal on the stuff. It's never helped me lose weight but I'm ok using it to simply have something in my stomach. It's better than going without any breakfast. I wouldn't recommend using the full…

I've had mine for almost 3 years now. I didn't really see a marked increase in my weight that couldn't be explained by my eating/exercise habits. I've just recently started my campaign to lose weight so I can't yet say if I'll have a hard time losing weight. I guess we'll see in a couple of months. :laugh:

I was kind of meh on Back to Earth. It wasn't that I didn't like it...more that I just didn't feel like it quite lived up to the series. I am SO excited for the new season though!

I crochet geeky things and watch silly TV shows on Netflix. I also like jumping into silly games like Katamari Damacy or Professor Layton. If it's a particularly bad day, I go for more KILL ALL THE THINGS games like Diablo or Skyrim.

I hate dieting. Absolutely abhor it. Exercising wasn't much better for me. I haven't had a gym membership in several years, but when I did, I'd always hide in the crappy little women's only room. While I was there, I was constantly watching the clock. So, I stopped going and ended my contract with them. I'm a gamer and…

Congrats! Definitely go with the middle dress...although the other two are quite lovely.

Single but living with my long-term boyfriend. We're both pretty sure we'll be getting married before too long though we aren't quite engaged yet.

Congratulations! Fitting into old jeans again is one of the best successes! :)
