Thanks..I hope so too. And regarding that Quran verse..my mom really doesn't seem to care. She basically told me the other day that my belief is "non-negotiable". :\

Yeah...I guess I can try doing some things like that..

It's not one day. It's 30 straight days.

And also, she always asks where I'm going and what I'm doing if I go out. She's the kinda person who has to be in control of everything. :\

I would but I'm scared how she'll react. She might yell at me and be all "oh so you'll read the Quran to try to prove me wrong but not for your own good?" or some stupid crap like that and I'd really just rather avoid any more confrontation with her...

That's the thing. In that, it says to eat no later than like 6 PM, right? I won't be able to eat from about 4 AM to 10 PM or so. :\ And I also am not allowed to drink ANY water. It sucks being dehydrated.

Probably. And I am making plans. I really need to get a job but no one seems to want to hire me.

I'm just worried I'll -gain- weight from it. :(

It still looks gorgeous to me. You could probably have it taken in a bit if it's really bugging you that much, though.

Hah, perfect response. What an idiot.

Ugh I know that feeling. I hate jogging because I always worry people are gunna look at me and laugh because I look dumb doing it. Don't give up, you're doing great! :)

That's the best reply I've seen ever, omg. I love Harry Potter. :3

I'm not new but feel free to add me. (: Always looking for new MFPals.

While this is true, I don't want people to think I'm losing weight because of them. Like, my uncle used to tell me all the time I need to lose weight, and now that I am, I'm worried he's gunna be all "oh good, you're losing weight because of me, right? If it wasn't for me telling you to, you probably wouldn't have." I want…

I'd suggest Olive Garden. :) They have some great low calorie pastas. Their salad is kinda high calorie because of their dressing but what I do is just order it on the side and add how much I want, because they usually put too much. Their breadsticks are my weakness but I've been able to resist eating them more often than…

Not at all. I was just passing by him at the train station.

Thank you. :)

Thanks a lot. :)

Thanks for the answers, everyone. I'm sure she'll figure something out. You're right, she's not motivated, I guess. But I hope she can become motivated soon, because I am quite worried for her health. She's not in the best shape physically, emotionally, and mentally. So, yeah..

Not a lame answer at all. You're right, I'll likely never see that guy again. It was just hurtful and discouraging.

It's not that she wants magic pills or anything. She wants to lose weight the healthy way. Just..not to be counting calories. Which is unfortunate, because I could help her with it because of how successful it's been for me. Ah well.

I do that. :) I love sweets way too much to give them up completely. Whether it's a chocolate granola bar or a piece of cake or something. I mean, I will still watch the calories on them, and I try to go for the lower calorie stuff, but I don't restrict myself completely.

Yeah, it's that bad for you. Look into the nutrition facts of it and you'll see that. WAY too high in sodium and fat. Really bad for you. And it's so popular because it sells for really cheap and a lot of people who can't afford to buy groceries to make dinners at home can get fast food. And also because, well, it's fast…

I have high fiber granola bars with chocolate in them that can usually satisfy my craving. But sometimes I will just set aside some calories for something sweet at the end of the day or something. Like a piece of Lindt dark chocolate with chili. SO good. c: It's about the same amount of calories as milk chocolate, I…

Water water water water water. ..And the occasional protein shake. I rarely ever drink juice or pop these days. Too many calories. I might sometimes drink 0 cal pops, though. Like 0 calorie Jones soda.

Started at 234 and my goal weight is 120. Currently at 183.5! :) Oh and I'm 5'3".

Poutine is heaven in heart attack form. Wait..

I'm from Calgary! :) Hey all~

6762 + 48 = 6810

I try to eat foods high in protein, and foods low in cholesterol, trans/saturated fats, and carbs. But I mainly just watch for my calorie intake.
