I don't really worry about it. My assumption is she probably works hard to get the body she has so good for her. I'd rather be around people who put care and effort into their appearance than people who don't.

This.

I have been doing it for years so I know what you’re going through, at least somewhat. I can also tell you that almost all people just do not understand it unless they’ve been through it. I’ve been cutting and otherwise self injuring since I was approx. 8 years old (and I’m 36 now) so I get it. Just for different reasons…

I judge people when they feed their pets crappy low end pet food...

This. I waited a long time to get a tattoo mostly out of fear that it would hurt. Got it on my very bony shoulder blade. I went in prepared to scream... Know what happened? I literally fell asleep during the process.

Upper arm/shoulder/hip? Depending on how big you want it, it could go just about anywhere. I will get a Halloween one eventually. Just not sure what or where. Halloween is my anniversary. At some point I will probably get a small Jack & Sally somewhere. I dunno. As much as I <3 Halloween, I just can't really think of a…

1.) Fitness/Weight/Training Goal for Christmas: Weigh 115 lbs by Xmas (totally reasonable for my current size at the rate I’m going) 2.) Gift/Item for Christmas: I’d be happy with anything but when my mom asked for a list, I gave her: --A bunch of random small (like under $15) artsy stuff on Etsy --new/extra toys & bedding…

People who chew loudly/with their mouth open. Grosses me out. Anyone who didn't like my pets would be shown to the door pretty fast too.

I’m sure if you really wanted just “a boyfriend” you could get one. My guess is that, like me, you have standards and are picky and not willing to settle for just “a boyfriend”. There is no reason to be sad about that. That just means you have less drama in your life. I didn’t even start dating my husband until I was like…

“Big boned” is just another excuse people use for not wanting to put forth the effort to lose weight. It’s up there with “I have a gland problem” or “I have slow metabolism”. These tend to be the same people who say things like “real women have curves”. I have honestly never heard of a person who ate less and exercised…

My nieces (5 & 7) have had a Wii for a while and they really love playing the sports type games (Wii bowling etc.) and music games (Karaoke & dance games). They are GOOD at these things too. They routinely beat me and my brother (their dad) at them haha. I think Wii also has some Disney games and of course, the Mario…

Thanks guys, about the ferret. His name is Iggy. We believe he is about 2 years old. We adopted him in May. He needed a new home because someone in Buffalo NY had to get rid of him right away. She couldn't find anyone local to take him. So we drove from Boston to Buffalo and picked him up. He's the sweetest animal I've…

Well, since it's almost Halloween, here is one of them in his Halloween costume. He is wearing this in a contest to raise money for a shelter. His brother (whose picture is too big to post) is going as Luigi.

Thank you. I will check out that site.

The actual numbers I got were: HRM - 1021 Pedometer - 569 That's a huge difference. My concern is with a big difference like that, I really don't want to eat back 500 exercise calories if I didn't actually burn them. But I also don't want to undereat by 500 calories either. I hope that makes sense. If it was smaller…

The GPS/Pedometer had no gender selected but if it thought I was a man, wouldn't it have me burning more? My resting heart rate according to a few tests with the HRM is around 86. Is that high? I have no idea what number the pedometer is using in it's calculation.

What is considered to be a low resting heart rate?

Good for you! :) Congrats on your success! :)

Plugging random numbers into that calculator to see what weight someone my height would have to be to MAINTAIN at 1200 calories a day and the number was around 70 lbs. Yikes. So in theory no one should be trying to "maintain" at 1200 lbs anyway.

Yeah, it was just people in general and people who have done diets and then gained it all back. Thanks guys. :)

That's kind of what I suspected also. But so many people say things like that that I really wasn't sure so I figured I'd ask people who know.

Yes! Thank you. :)

These are just random numbers. In theory, Sally could be eating 2000 calories and then up it to 2500 to maintain if that's what she wanted. I'm asking because I have heard a lot of people say that people who do low calorie diets always end up putting the weight back on and then some when they reach their goal and start…

I wouldn’t date someone who was: Stupid A walking stereotype Obese Boring Lazy Emo/Whiny Not kind to animals Abusive to women or children Or lacked a sense of humor

Actually many jobs have requirements that you be physically able to lift X number of lbs, or that you be able to easily stand on your feet for X amount of hours per day. If someone's obesity makes it impossible or difficult for them to do these things, then they can not do the job. And if their physical condition means…

I try not to be. Being a d-bag to people really doesn't contribute anything to discussion.

I just posted this on another thread but here goes: I’m an average size person and let me state for the record that I don’t think her weight really affects her ability to be a stellar news anchor. She’s good at what she does and I give her props for attempting to turn a negative remark she got into a good lesson for kids.…

I love you. lol
