Peoples' comments on news stories. Logic dictates that I could just not read them, but every now and then I do, and I get infuriated every time. Why are people so STUPID?! It hurts the inner depths of my SOUL.

I'd ironically say "hey four eyes!" :P

Less weights, more cardio. Lots of water and fiber. Low sodium, possibly might want to try a gentle diuretic in case you are retaining water. And log more religiously, it makes a world of difference! :)

There's a really nice black pleather corset with buckles I bought once online and it SAID it was American sizes, so I ordered a 2x which was supposed to be my size, a 16/18. When it came it was an Asian 2x. That's around a size 8 here. It's so sexy and I would LOVE to fit in it someday. It's slightly adjustable, and I…

You look fantastic. Amazing job!

I'm the type of person where if I'm not constantly paying attention to what I eat, I overeat and gain. And I have skinny mini friends that eat nothing but tons of fast food and other crap and never gain a pound. It totally IS frustrating and unfair. But it is the way it is. Accepting reality means accepting that most…

The first time I was put on it I felt like it was a godsend, because it killed my appetite and kept me energized. But it had some meth-like effects (it practically IS meth). I was picking at my skin until it bled, and since taking the first pill I was up a full 6 and a half days before finally dozing off. I was starting to…

Funny I just saw this post, I made cran water just a few minutes ago for the first time in months lol. Love it.

I can totally relate, I do the same exact thing. I do GREAT for a month or two, then I just get side tracked somehow and then one thing leads to another and I'm back to eating like I used to and being just as sluggish. I lost 16lbs the last time around (after gaining 36 over the year prior to that) and then got a boyfriend…

I don't have an exact outfit in mind, but I've seen hundreds and hundreds of fantastic fashionable (and very inexpensive!) feminine clothes on ebay that come from Asian countries, and their XXL (usually the largest size any of them carry) is a US size 8. So my goal is to get down to a size 8 so that I can buy and wear…

I typically LOVE eogtistical a-holes. Let me explain. ;) Confidence is a HUGE turn-on to me. Not flat-out arrogance, but a high level of confidence. And guys that get labeled often as "egotistical a-holes" have that [generally]. There is nothing worse than when you're interested in a guy and he begins getting insecure…

Look up turmeric face masks....works wonders for my skin and is good for all skin types. The one I use (for oily skin) is a tsp of turmeric powder (bought in the spice aisle at any grocery store), 1/2c of plain yogurt, and a pinch of wheat flour (to thicken it). Keep it on for at least 20 minutes and then rinse. There are…

HOT! Of course I'm a little biased. :P

LOL at those that don't know about pus being in cow's milk. You guys might want to look that up. Cows are so mistreated and used as milk making machines in factory farms that they are well-known to have infections of all kinds. They are overmilked and forced to produce milk constantly, which is not natural. I drink dairy…

Hey I'm Valerie. 25, currently 259lb, goal is 180lb. I'm also a bit of a nerd...depends on the fandoms in question. :P Feel free to add me.

One day at a time! Let's say a year from now is when you *could* meet your goal. That date will come whether you're on track or not. When it gets here...do you really wanna still be stuck at square one due to a lack of motivation? Hell no. Baby steps. Say you want to lose 10lbs a month....totally doable. Think "okay, in 3…

There's a pizza place down the road from me that has 50 buffalo wings----mind you, these are amazing wings----for only $17.99. I would get an order of that and munch on them all evening, smothered in blue cheese dressing, with a big 2ltr of pop.

It' super possible! Welcome to MFP, feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

Veggies come in a variety of textures. Avocado is a good one, in moderation because it's kinda high in calories. I use avocado a lot in salads and sandwiches. It's so creamy it is a great replacement for cheese or mayo in a sandwich. Grilling portabella mushroom caps gives them a meaty texture. All natural spaghetti sauce…

Hi I'm Valerie. Feel free to add me, and welcome to MFP! It has been a godsend to me, personally, as well as countless others. Just keep logging your foods like you've been doing, and try to get moving around a little more each day. Every little bit helps! I understand that tempting foods in the house is unavoidable. I…

Baha I thought you looked familiar...you're like 5 minutes from me! I think I've seen you through fb friends maybe. Small world. :P

First of all, damn you for making me crave Olive Garden right meow. Secondly, feel free to add me. :) I'm also 25, and have about 80lbs to lose. Good luck!

I say this with loveCHILL OUT! :)

Feel free to add me, girl! Most of us on here have felt the same disappointment in ourselves and our weight at some point and we understand. Congratulations on quitting smoking and deciding to start eating and living healthier! <3

Well said! It all boils down to whether your top priority is losing weight or being healthy. If it's losing weight, eat cake all day and then burn those calories off...sure, you'll lose weight. You might get malnourished, but you'll lose. If you want to be healthy, you gotta cut the crap out of your diet and treat junk…

I'm 5'7"...I've always considered it an average height but I'm told I'm kinda tall. Certainly when I put on the 5" pumps! :P

Well we can't quite uneat our calories. Today is a new day, girl. One binge isn't going to make or break you. Edited after reading comments in this thread: Good luck sweetie. Talk to your psychiatrist and do your best to eat regularly and healthily!

I have to drag myself out of bed, but within 5 minutes I'm wide awake and ready to start the day!

Feel free to add me! Mine is open.

This list has been a godsend when I'm making shopping lists and meal plans! http://www.peta.org/living/food/accidentally-vegan/
