i have ADD and take concerta for it. concerta works slightly as an appetite suppressant, but after the first few weeks of being on it, my appetite returned to normal. my body just had to adjust to it a bit. ALTHOUGH, when i took adderall, the thought of food made me feel nauseous... until it wore off at night and i was…

sleep paralysis happens to me in times of major stress (it happened a lot during finals week and when i used to work night shifts at a nursing home and my sleep schedule got all wacky). at first i thought i was being possessed or haunted by something! it was completely terrifying! but i researched it and found out that…

I'm working on RF: Frontier right now... I took a break for like, a month, because I was SO obsessed... haha. I got married in HM: Animal Parade (to the wizard lol) and then just kind of stopped playing. I wish there were more sim-RPG games!

my food diary is a Trader Joe's shopping list, essentially... :\

Thank you so much!! Ya'll made me feel so good this morning! <3

me too!! that's so awesome to hear!

For me, losing weight in and of itself didn't change anything in regards to my health. On the other hand, feeding myself properly, exercising regularly, and developing a healthy attitude about my body has done wonders for my self esteem and mental health. I no longer suffer from depression and debilitating anxiety, and I…

Sad and true. My boyfriend and I were just talking about how we wish that cis-males could offer emotional support via hugging or touch to another cis-male without it being turned into an "OMG GAY! EW EW EW!" thing. Homophobia comes out in so many weird, insidious ways.

bwahahahahahahahahahaha

thanks for sharing your stories and successes, everybody! you all are doing amazing <3

I go over sometimes, and sometimes I maintain or lose only a fraction of a pound, or other times I lose even more! For example, last week, I went over by 800 calories because I REALLY wanted a bacon cheeseburger and fries. I felt really crappy about it, and beat myself up over it. I worked extra hard at the gym the next…

i just came here to say that lumpia are what angels eat. morsels of heaven... *drools* hahahah

bumppp!!

8! I have plans for more...

fresh figs are one of my favorite foods. they are effing delicious! i cut them up and put them in 0% greek yogurt with a bit of honey. or just eat them plain. if i'm craving sweets, they definitely help.

you are gorgeous in both pictures! congrats on your success! inspiring!

HA! amazing. back when i was in high school, she used to come over to olympia and stay with my best friend on the weekends. we used to hang out all the time! she's actually engaged to another friend of mine and is preggers. what a strange little world :)

Her last name is Schoessler, I believe. Same girl?

I had a similar freak out recently... Well, honestly, it was more like a complete and utter meltdown. I had been SO good about following MFPs recommendations, getting a lot of high-volume, nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods, had just increased my cardio, and had just recently added a bit of strength training (30 day shred).…

i have a friend who grew up in othello, WA! she's 25 or 26... her name's lisa! i live in olympia :) lotsa WA rainbow warriors here!

oh man, my thighs hurt SO bad for like 3 days after starting 30DS... i could barely walk up stairs. ugggghhhhhh.... but i'm starting again tomorrow! :D

yay!! i love this group! :) hi, my name is evan. i'm 24, i live in olympia, wa, and i'm currently getting my prerequisites so i can go to nursing school. i'm looking to lose the 50 lbs i gained while on the mirena IUD 2 years ago, as well as an extra 45 (if that's possible) for good measure! so far i've lost 32 lbs and i…

she's a lady and her name is robyn! she's a swedish pop singer. here's the video those .gifs are from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv644ipg2Ss

awesome! thank you!

ugh, double post....

yeah, i'm inclined to believe that calories vs. calories out is THE way to lose weight over the long term and that cutting out (completely) any foods you enjoy is just a set up for failure.
