pizza for sure!

you sir, are made of win. sadly, the unicorn and rainbow police will be by with butthurt tickets.

what dishes are you cooking? Stick to olive oil, try baking things instead of frying...there are lots of ways to cut calorie corners. Except for tostones. There's just no real low fat way to make those.

*snicker*

I cook for one, which means I usually have at least 2 portions of things. I tend to freeze things so that I can have more variety. I also look for recipes that can easily be reinvented. For example, I make a big batch of meatballs then have them with: brown rice, veg and maybe tomato sauce pasta and tomato sauce by…

so this has turned into the "try to remember to do your damn pushups" challenge for me. I'm going to start over.

I think thin people eat with utensils. Or maybe their hands, if that's acceptable. Seriously though, there are so many factors that go into this. The article did make good points.

Well done on enjoying your V day and staying on goal! I totally understand what you mean about "pigging out." Yesterday's breakfast was an egg white omelet with cheese and spinach, half a grapefruit and a mini whole grain bagel with reduced fat cream cheese. 383 calories but so much food!!!

Wonderful! Congratulations! I'm on the same path--your story is very inspirational. Logging calories is downright addictive!

argh!!! I forgot to do my pushups! will do tomorrow.

Ooooh, I love this topic! My favorites at the moment: The Fighter - Gym Class Heroes Fat Boy Slim: Right Here, Right Now Build It Up, Tear It Down Acid 800 Fergalicious - Fergie (I LOVE the part where she's all "I be up in the gym, just workin' on my fitness") Jesus Walks - Kanye West Run the World (Girls) - Beyoncé Bad…

Bladerunner!

yup, the buddy system certainly works! me, I really need to see other people's progress and positive attitudes. it's a boost to get support for both good and bad days, achievements and setbacks.

WHAT IS YOUR CHURCH? Are they taking new congregants?

Genius! Also, good on the OP for keeping it on her terms.

it's like mass transit, dude. there will be another along shortly.

I get that sometimes people need to psych themselves out because the real thing might be too much of a temptation. and yeah, some of that stuff sounds unappetizing. I feel the same way about substitute food that is billed as healthier but in reality has a mess of chemicals and crap in it that I would rather not ingest.…

Story time! When I was a teenager, after school I would go down this hugemongous hill to my uncle's house to pick my little sister up. Her school was nearby. so this one time, I walk in and my aunt and cousin fall on me like wha? and start berating me for being fat, what am I eating blah blah blah...when they finally…

I like the way the OP puts it--looking to release lbs. it makes it sounds so happy, like the fat is being sent somewhere sunshiney and wild. go, little fat! be free!

zomg zombies!! yes! I just heard about a zombie run. you run 5k and zombies chase you. I have never run before in my life. I will be starting the C25K soon as I get a HRM. the zombie apocalypse, it motivates me.

am back on the push-up pony! week 2 day 1 4/6/4/4/6+4

*shudder* I've seen this IRL. Also, LOL

They totally are.

OP here! Here are some things for the record: After she calmed down, the woman admitted she was hungry because she hadn't eaten enough lunch. I'm not always the better person. There are times when someone pushes me or steps on my foot or whacks me with their bag (because even though I'm big, I'm only 5'2") and I brush it…

I learned something new today. Butthurt. Look it up on the Urban Dictionary. It applies to the easily offended.

Thank you to everyone who laughed, thought this was about sammiches, posted an awesome gif, started a slow clap, related and friended me! You guys are awesome and THANK YOU SO MUCH for having a sense of humor and understanding where this is coming from. Sorry for all those people I "lost" by describing this woman as tiny…

while we're at it, has anyone seen my lost shaker of salt?

(O.o) butthurt? do not want. I have never in my life wanted to ask so many people y u mad? as on these forums. a friend's kid posted this joke on facebook and I literally lol'd: your mama is so fat the Hogwarts hat sorted her into the house of pancakes. edit: I had to look butthurt up in the urban dictionary. I'd never…

I'm not saying you have a body image problem, I'm saying you have a problem not letting that define you. And just from these posts, I can tell I am not like you. I am not in denial about my weight. I own a digital scale with fresh batteries and I clean my glasses off to make sure I am reading the numbers correctly. What I…
