Yep, and it ended with me in the hospital (allergies, ya know). Have you ever had a pet that wasn't a dog, cat, or fish?

Elijah Wood. (Can't wait to see what mine is.)

Dunno if you would consider me eating too little, but I'm always open to new friends.

KrayKira: some sort of sales or customer service where you have to make people happy. That is definitely a "customer service" smile. agbaeb: Something that involves travel, and makes a lot of money.

Tell us more! Tell us all about how Moon Dust clogs arteries and causes impotence and bed-wetting.

Here's the secret: I didn't change what I ate - my diary shows pizza, burgers, cake, chips, fudge, milkshakes, cheesecake, eggnog, and worse. I only changed how much. Once I knew that I COULD eat whatever I wanted, that there were no "bad" or "forbidden" foods, I didn't crave them nearly as often. It was simple math that…

Thanks guys, and it just occurred to me that at least I'm at a better starting point than I was when I first began this journey, I'm still down 30 pounds from what I was when I first started MFP. I've just been entirely too embarrassed to even try to keep track of what I ate in November. It was really, really bad. (And yes…

Oh lawd, I feels ya there. Part of my profession is attending parties where AWESOME food is passed around for free, it's so easy to just grab something off a plate and stuff it in my mouth before anyone sees, today's lunch was several bite-size pieces of lovely chocolate cheesecake, and Chex Mix which was the healthiest…

Okay, maybe I'm missing something here, but: WHY CAN'T SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THEM TRICK-OR-TREATING?

And in just 3 months too! AMAZING difference, you look great!

Okay, about the porn thing... are you upset that he's watching porn at all? Men watch porn. It has nothing to do with you, your attractiveness, your sexiness, or your skill in bed. It's a stress reliever, it's an inexpensive fun thing to do, and it's pretty much solitary - with sex, you have another person to concentrate…

Nooo, your body said it was *hungry*, and needed nutrients and fiber, and you *chose* to feed it bagels and candy and ice cream and processed sugar. It told you to "snack all day long" because it was STILL hungry, because it still hadn't gotten those nice nutrients and fiber it asked for before. And after all this crappy…

Any diet that tells you to completely avoid certain foods is ridiculous. That's according to my doctor, and IMHO. Your body is an amazing machine, it will tell you what it needs and what is best for it.

Take something healthy and dip it in that non-healthy sauce. One packet of it is not that bad, just skip the fried chicken mystery parts with breading. The sauce is the tasty part, anyway.

Not as far as I've seen. Michele Pfieffer

I'm fond of the way I look, fat and all, but I wouldn't mind looking like Angelina Jolie for a day. Where (and with whom) did you receive your first kiss?

OMG, amazing!!!

You look younger in the second pic! LOL!

Bears repeating... I wish more people realized this.

Oh lawd. If I lived in New Orleans I would weigh 500kg. Not kidding.

You might consider upping your calories and see how that pans out. I restricted myself to 1400 and lost 3 pounds in a month, then swung to 1850 and lost 15 the next month. Your body really does need that fuel to function.

:drinker: I started the party for you. You were pretty before but HOLY COW

Speaking as someone who knows someone who went through dramatic weight loss (I went with her to her doctor appointments).... That "extra skin" isn't really extra skin. It's stretched skin with fat underneath. More fat to lose. The "flap" is more common for those who lose weight with diet - and not as much with exercise.…

That last one sounds wonderful and I'd love to try it sometime. Do you think your husband would mind?

Thank you thank you thank you! I used these exact words and sent a text to my agent, along with "I am tired of being the Fat Best Friend." she sent back "OK youve got a point, we'll do it your way" YES YES YES!!!

Tina Fey... Anna Faris... Sarah Silverman. You can count the number of funny skinny (successful!) women on one hand, and most of them were given a shot because they went through a "sexy roles only" phase first (like Anna) or wrote their own roles (like Tina, who also brought Sarah on board SNL if I'm remembering…

UPDATE: Okay, I had a serious talk with my agent once again about my weight loss. She told me, flat out, that it will be "much, much harder" to book gigs as a thin person, because then I will be "one of millions" rather than one of a kind - and "skinny chicks are not normally known as funny". She knew that would get me -…

Ooooh, "those people" make me so mad! The ones who think that just because it's easy for them it should be easy for everyone! METABOLISM, my friends, it's different for us!
