I'm a newbie but wanted to join in. I did the initial test on Saturday and got 21 max. Today I did column 3 of week 1, and managed 10/12/7/7/25. :)

Ravenclaw, I'm excessively nerdy and eccentric. :)

Honestly I can see why your husband is mad, although the way he raged out was wrong. Just because you want to eat healthier does not necessarily mean he does. And that's not a bad thing! He's fit, if he doesn't have health problems from the way he likes to eat, I don't see anything wrong with it. By changing your eating…

My mom is a picky eater. I do a lot of the food shopping for her, and there's only about 10 different foods I can buy her, because I know if I get anything out of the ordinary, she won't eat it. I used to be a very picky eater, but as I've gotten older I've expanded my palate a lot, I grew up drinking a lot of cola and not…

I'm on the 6th, ahh!! I don't wanna get older!!!

Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect. It kills me how cool she is. I'll never be cool. :grumble:

Oooh, definitely count me in!! I'm torn between teams, really like zombies and Madison, surprise me please? :flowerforyou:

My original reason for ever watching Biggest Loser. Flipped through channels, saw her (:heart:) , heard her voice, (:love:), immediately became a fangirl. :flowerforyou:

I once had a test graded in pencil. I could've erased my grade, replaced it with a 100% and a supportive smiley face. But the fact that it wasn't written in red pen didn't make my teacher any less of a doo-doo head. :mad:

Bullying does not make for good motivation. Why, instead of saying, "Hmm, we should SHAME fat people into losing weight," wouldn't he say, "We should show admiration and appreciation for those who have lost and are losing a significant amount of weight?" Personally, I'm inspired everyday by the success stories board here…

Right? I don't know about you guys, but I think Queen is pretty terrible. Flips my lid every time I hear them.

Jack Johnson? I think that's his name, hippie-dippie hoopla, I cringe when I hear him.

Same here!!

Hmm, well then maybe you should post it while using your awesome grammatical skills to make it say what you ACTUALLY meant instead of what you wanted it to mean? The reason I took offense enough to ever respond in the first place is because you're flatly judging everybody who doesn't write properly and up to your standards…

You were actually talking about anybody you deem less educated and intellectual, anybody who can't write properly. Third World countries was just ONE example, this wasn't about having food and access to the internet. Those who have learning disabilities have those two priviledges also, but they may not be able to write up…

In the most sarcastic manner possible...

And as we all know, those who aren't as well-educated or intellectual are actually sub-human. Third World countries should be severed ties with immediately, only given dictionaries and thesauruses to fend for themselves. Only when they can recite the entireties of these books with ease, shall we bring these formerly…

Having your food diary open isn't being honest with yourself, it's being open and honest with others. Logging your food, privately, publicly, in any form however, is being honest with yourself. I realize that logging is good for me, but it doesn't mean I necessarily want others seeing what I'm eating. I don't eat…

Personally I drink it often because I like the taste of it, and it doesn't make me crave anything sweet or want to eat *more* food than I regularly would. It's definitely better than drinking a full calorie pepsi and MFP showed me one of my biggest problems is consuming way too many liquid calories (I tend to drink lots of…

Well said, I've actually been sick for the past few weeks with bronchitis and throughout the whole time I've avoided counting calories. To me it doesn't matter if I lose weight or not while I'm sick, I figure I can jump straight back on the wagon when I'm feeling up to par again. I'm sure I've been consuming fewer calories…

This list is way too over-the top. It's your job, you do get paid. I've been a cashier before too, did I love the customers who made my job a hell of a lot harder than it needed to be? Honestly, no, I didn't, but there's a reason you're there and it's to deal with these people. The only customers I would ever complain…

If pillows could talk... What would they say?

*Sigh.* For a community that promises to be so supportive and motivating, some of you guys can be a really rude bunch. :/ OP, I know it can be frustrating when your mom buys things that you specifically ask her not to buy, but I don't believe that necessarily means she's trying to sabotage you. My mom does stuff like this…

I started having weight problems in 3rd grade, I actually believe that I've been "obese" my entire life since then. I feel like at that age, and subsequent years, I didn't have the knowledge to get myself fit or healthy. I ate what my parents gave me, and they didn't teach me about proper nutrition or exercise. There were…

If someone became fit and healthy through a weight loss surgery I would still be equally inspired as if they were to lose the weight just through conscious diet and exercise. Plenty of people who get weight loss surgery still overeat afterward and end up gaining weight again anyway. You have to use the tool you've been…

Congratulations on the weight loss, it's a great inspiration! I'm truly sorry about the loss of your dad, I lost my dad 7 months ago today, and while I miss him every day, losing him has also inspired me to start my weight loss journey. What you've done is amazing and I know you're making your dad proud every day.

I think this is more of a situational topic. Personally I see calling any person, male or female, "white trash," or as was mentioned before, "trailer park trash," is worse than calling a woman a slut. Though, I do believe there are conditions in which it is unforgivable to call a woman a slut. A husband, boyfriend,…

I think shallow is really pertaining to not having a lot of depth, and caring only about appearance for a superficial reason. Would you not date a guy who weighs 250 pounds because you're embarrassed of how the world would view you for being with someone so large? Are you unable to befriend a 250 pound man because society…

I'm not a doctor, but honestly I don't see anything resembling an eating disorder about this, just unhealthy eating. My suggestion would be to deprive yourself of the junk/bad food. Make a goal for each day and stick to it, like at least 2 "real" meals for starters. Don't even think about touching bad foods until after…
