There actually is a website like that called Fitocracy. It even gives you missions to get EXP and you go up by MANY levels on that site! I prefer the meticulousness of MFP, though. If you noticed in an earlier post, I wrote that I was playing Final Fantasy 12 for 4 hours while exercising simultaneously. In videogames, I am…

I'm a hardcore gamer! What I do to get exercise while playing is to jog in place, do high-knees, 'jump ropes' ;) etc. I do this while playing all games :heart: I did it for 4 hours straight once while playing Final Fantasy XII (Hell Wyrm battle, for those whom are wondering :laugh: ). Try it!

I'm just going to eat 1/4-1/2 cup of everything that I want (luckily, that isn't much from the choices), & distribute it throughout the day so that I don't overeat. I'm going to eat more of the desserts; Thanksgiving & Easter are the only times that I eat these sweets! Just remind yourself, 'there's always tomorrow to eat…

I'm going to bake a small-sized, healthy cheesecake (baking cheesecake for the first time), model a bikini that I bought 1.5 years ago for the first time, & go get a haircut that I've been promising myself since I was 16. Very excited for all three :heart:

So happy that they're going of business, it's for the best! More healthy living for the world, at least to some extent. :smile:

I'm on 1200 calories and I eat: 1. Oatmeal with banana & raisins OR egg whites with toast & lots of Veggies . 2. An apple, banana, or other fruit for my snacks, usually accompanied with non-fat sugar-less Greek yogurt or peanut butter. 3. A salad with a LOT of beans, nuts, and seeds for lunch. 4. Whatever is for dinner,…

I focus on inches lost, not weight! I've gained like two pounds since I've started but I do look stronger so I'm slowly learning to not rely on the scale. :)

I just logged onto MFP to put this into my log since I just made some, how psychic! I started making this in July, I love it!

I'm promising myself three things: 1. A haircut! I want a (straight) bob, but I refuse to get it until I have the body that I want. 2. A mini photoshoot with myself & the bikini that I bought two years ago . . . I have yet to wear it ;) 3. A slice of pizza . . . & to bake myself some healthy cheesecake! :heart:

Hi, everyone! My name is Kara, I am a 20-year-old student from NYC, & I want to lose 2 inches off of my stomach by New Year's! My favorite color is red & it always has been. It's never changed for my whole life! My favorite season is Autumn because it's beautiful outside while remaining a nice temperature. It always gives…

I want to lose inches, not weight! At least 1 on my stomach around the belly button area, preferably 2!

I actually wrote a blog post about this recently! Food: Eating only rice & beans or baked zitti for dinner every night for my life (what my mother & sister primarily cook ); pizza, Chinese food, ice cream, or fast foods during & after school daily; Nature's Valley & Gatorade religiously; not enough vegetables; no water at…

I always go over my sugar but it's always through fruit so I've learned to accept it!

Use these events as goals to work harder, not to down you! Think about how great you look at these events since you've started working out & taking care of your health, compared to not at all. You've lost 9 pounds, & I'm going to assume you lost inches too, so at least at these events there will always be at least one…

Peeing all of the time was my first NSV right before I joined MFP. I also loved that my urine was clearer & that made me so happy because my doctor & parents my whole life always told me that my urine was too dark & it wasn't good. A toast to peeing healthily! :laugh:

Wonderful! You are an absolute inspiration. Toast (or rather, non-carb food here :wink: ) to another 265 days! Keep it up! :heart:

For those of you calling me ignorant, dumb, child-less, etc., you do not know me personally nor do you know my values & how I am within a household. I may not have my own children, but I have lived with children of all ages & types for my entire life because my mother is the matriarch of the family. I can't tell you how…

OP, I'd first like to say that the woman that rejected you was ****ed up in all senses of the word. I would never reject a person like that, whether it was for romantic interests or not. I absolutely cannot with rude & superficial people. Ugh. Weight does not matter to me. Sex, race, religion . . . It doesn't mean that…

I feel that Stay-At-Homes should take advantage of the fact that they're home & get involved with new hobbies, learn an instrument, write a book, exercise, dance, learn to draw or paint, etc. They have a lot of time to cultivate some wonderful skills & activities that can make them truly happy, & I feel like they don't…

You're so pretty! (And who I assume is your child is takes after you!) Very beautiful! :heart:

I plan on naming my first daughter Aya Andreisi & my son Sergio Xavier (Sergio after his father -- Xavier is all mine & will be what I primarily call him! :laugh: Andreisi also comes from him) I hope to name a second daughter Alexandria, & a second son, we haven't come up with the name for yet. We're not having children…

I'm 5'4 at 104 pounds. My goal is to be 115-125 pounds added on in muscle!

I track every single thing from the time I wake up & don't submit my diary as complete until I'm laying in bed to go to sleep. It's the only way to be sure of what you're eating & how you're fulfilling your goals!

I met him on a forum about anime, which I didn't even watch! It was my best friend's first time on a forum & she wanted to have a friend with her. I stayed out of all conversation except threads about regular life topics & met him there. In the chatroom, he asked for my private instant messenger eventually & at first, we…

When you say that you've gained pounds, have you been keeping track of your inches? A lot of the time, we stay the same weight or increase while our body itself changes shape. You'll be okay darling, just keep working hard! :heart:

Finished L1D8 today! I haven't taken a picture of myself for 'before' but I think I should. I'll take a photo tomorrow morning & we'll go from there!

& to think that you've only just started. Wonderful! You're going to do so well in the coming months -- let's work hard to make 2013 even better than 2012 :heart:

Look on the website! I always look at restaurant websites for nutritional info before I go out to eat to choose the best place, even when looking for a new place. :smile:

I've been belly dancing for two months & some thing that you need to understand, honey, is that belly dancers are MADE -- not born. Keep it up & you'll be fine. I still feel that way when doing grapevines to switch sides for hip lifts/ hip drops -- & I want to go pro, so imagine how I must feel? :) Enjoy the dance,…

Oatmeal (water) with a banana (mashed) & raisins! :heart: I eat egg whites on toast 4 days a week though, oatmeal is three :smile:
