ChantalGG - I was a drag queen for halloween last year! Its soooo fun. You get to be as tacky and over-made up as you want to be and it ends up being just part of your sass. They have some videos on Youtube about how to cover your eyebrows so you can draw in fake ones... just remember to let the glue stick dry completely…

When dealing with stress it always helps me to schedule things out. Being meticulous helps -- writing everything in a schedule book. Even scheduling time for yourself. You should try scheduling some "nothing time". Time that you can use to just sit and watch tv, or sit and look at cat pictures online, or sit. Or go for a…

These all sound like such good ideas! I cant wait to try some of them!

I dont go camping much, but I always look forward to Cleveland summers in Ohio because produce is ABUNDANT! I read someone's amazing recipe for cucumber tomato feta salad (2 cucumbers, 4 tomatoes, 1/2 red onion, feta, red wine vinegar, and olive oil ... although i leave out the olive oil and it doesnt really make much of a…

I am agreeing with everyone else... taking pictures helps immensely! I'm going to rope my photographer boyfriend into photoshoots along the way, just so I can see progress. When I was in highschool I was very heavy... I dont know my weight, but I was 5'6" in a size 22w pants. My senior year I decided that I was going to…

Start fresh -IMMEDIATELY. (Dont think your whole day is lost if you went over for one meal.) Forgive yourself. When I go over my calories and eat 1500 instead of my 1300... or even 2000... I keep in mind that eating 2000 calories may still be better than I have been (:blushing: You know, with the booze and the food and the…

@ saspiazu -260 cals minus veg. I did add a little much parm. Thought the label said a serving was 1tbsp instead of 1 tsp... :flowerforyou: But next time in my hunger craze, I will be able to make better choices because I have a backup. @menchi - I know. Guys lose so much easier than girls... frustrating! My guy is feeling…

I LOVE Thai food. There's a market about a 10 minute drive from me that has all these ingredients, fairly inexpensively. I'm so excited to try this! (PS: If you have more recipes, I'd love them!)

I was at a friend christmas party and my gay boy friend comes up to me and puts a hand on my shoulder... "Remember in high school when we were all so cute??? ....Not to say that we arent cute now, darling...*squintface*...but we were so much CUTER."

Exactly. Everyone has those voices. And having a cheat day or even a night out helps. Every Saturday I go to the bar with my boyfriend and have a gin and tonic or two ;) I sit at the bar and watch him eat a huge cheeseburger... and realize how much I DONT want his food. And I save my cheat meal for something I know I want…

I read somewhere that people with full-length mirrors are more confident because they see their bodies every day and its a familiar thing. This went for people of all sizes. (I wish I knew where the article was): Things that are helping me: Decide to change one thing at a time. PREPARE. Set aside a day in which you'll do…

I would imagine they scope for those things O.o Injuring participants doesnt seem to be the goal. You could probably contact someone :)

I'm super psyched... I've been dieting (Thanksgiving blew that out of the water for 2 days :cry: ) and I think it will help being lighter... And I'm also researching an electric cigarette... (I know, I know... stop smoking.. bler bler bler. I dont want to. ...So. An electric ciggy would be the next best thing, right?)…

How would you recommend a first timer to prepare? Especially if this first timer has never run farther longer than 60 seconds at a time in her whole life? :blushing:

I agree. 2 sweet n lows and a diet soda wont kill you. Sure, its not the best thing out there....but there are certainly worse things. Just be aware of the panic bandwagon. Red meat will kill you and the environment! Artificial sweeteners will rot you from the inside out! There's always something to be afraid of.…

Lessons learned: Spaghetti squash is NOT an adequate substitute for rice noodles. Brown sauce makes everything better.

1. What's your real name? Stacy 2. Married, single, long-term relationship, divorced, widowed? Relationship :) 3. How old are you (no cheating)? 23 4. A food you love that's terrible for you: CHEESE 5. Celebrity crush: Liam Neeson 6. What size would you like to be? 8 7. What's something you hate about being overweight? I'm…

I find that whenever I'm dieting I obsess over my calorie count and food and recipes and everything... But its a fun obsession... like a really consuming hobby. (If that makes sense.) Its one thing to be driven. Its another thing to let it rule your life. This paragraph screams "eating disorder". Please dont feel badly…

I tried out the recipe... With the help of my guy we made it... A lot more complicated that stuff I'm used to making x.x I got bored about half way through and if he wasnt helping me (and I wasnt also cooking another soup) I probably wouldnt've finished. But finished product is AMAZING! :D Exactly what I was craving:…

A lot of people would be of the opinion that you should NOT use diet pills. However... If you do decide to keep taking them, make sure you do it responsibly and use it only as a tool, not a solution. Replace all your snacks with raw veggies and hummus. Portion out your daily hummus and snack away. :) When I did this, my…

Thats a shame :( Let me know if there's something yummy I need to try!! Well.... the show is based on foreign women who move to america and gain weight because we eat amazingly tasty food... And then the hosts show them how to cook healthier and still have it be tasty. I think by "Cook yourself thin" they mean, "Hey, you…

This is one of my fav recipes!

Dear Self, Your boyfriend is picking you up in 20 minutes and you're still in your pajamas and online shopping. Remember how supportive he is being by taking you to this 5k which he promised you could walk if you didnt feel like jogging. Time to get off of MFP and find your jogging shoes that you havent seen in a year.…

It was a long time ago that I had read a little bit of the book... So I jumped on amazon and read some of the reviews, just to see if I was being jaded or not... But nope. There are equal amounts of 5 star and 1 star reviews. All the 5 star reviews- "OMG, so funny!" All the 1 star reviews... well. They tell you its all…

I thought it was funny... But after a while it felt like someone was yelling at me all the time. I also am not too keen on veganism. I can honestly tell you I havent met a vegan who weighed under 250lbs. I mean, undoubtedly they arent healthy vegans, but its not a great selling point :(

I almost want you to post your amazon.com wishlist so we could send you another pair of pants. :):) You look amazing!!! Congratulations.

Embarassing! Okay. Well. It'll be a body fat percentage loss competition. Or. Whatever. Just trying to make it a healthier way to compete. You know, so people arent starving or chowing laxatives or whatever. Not that I think any of them would do that... but... Okay.

Yesterday my brain kept telling me "Cheese.Cheese.Cheese.Cheese." And then I overdosed on craisins. Not as bad as cheese, but food induced craisin coma not so hot either. I also see people rewarding themselves with beauty items... manicures... hair color... Which is awesome... but. I work at a salon. :flowerforyou: Thats…

I dont actually eat lard. For the record. Uggh. Planning my trip to Aldi's for eggwhites and... snacks. And spinach. Any good nonfat nibbly ideas? This time I'm taking my WW points calcuator with me >.o sneaky food *kitten*.

Everything I eat is measured. Poo. Maybe I'll try a whole egg and adding egg whites to that... and maybe giving up my cheese :( And reading nutrition labels better.
