My mantra is a quotation by Oscar Wilde. "Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future." I try to live my entire life off this, and if I lose this weight, my gift to myself is to have it tattooed. Another good one is "the birds are still singing." When I hear them in the morning, I know it's a brand new day, the world…

Such a great post, and very true! It's crazy how you can blindly eat. I can't believe some of the meals I was having were costing me 700-1000 calories each, even at small quantities. How many calories could really be in that small muffin? Who knew?! Still eating semi poorly now, but I'm counting every single calorie!…

It depends. If I have calories remaining prior to 12, I'll log them there. If logging them prior to 12 am makes me go over my totals, I'll log it the next day and eat less, or I'll try to burn it off with some sort of exercise. I have no clue if that's cheating or what lol My schedule is really wonky, so do what's best for…

caramel popcorn, find a light or low fat version if you can. Or do you one better and buy popcorn kernels, pop the popcorn yourself, and add a teaspoon of vanilla and cinnamon. skinny cow is good too

I have a larger frame and I am also tall. In a sense I guess I carry my weight well. People are amazed when I tell them how much I weigh. It's a lot more than anyone would suspect.

My teacher who was and still is a bit of a goof ball said to me once. "I love my wife more than anything in the world. What is love, how do you know it's real? Would you still love that person if they had they're face burned off in a car crash, and became disabled? That's love." Ermm... I guess he's right? Haha! On a…

Toronto!

What type of metal? I like Heaven Shall Burn, DevilDriver, Manson, SOME of Cannibal Corpse etc.

Well, I never had a father or anyone close to it, so should I want to marry someone like my mother? Anyhow, my boyfriend is almost in the same class as I am. I would consider myself upper middle class, and him and his family to be middle class if not lower middle class. We met in our Catholic High School where uniforms…

Toronto, ON :)

I'm 5'7" and a half, my goal weight is probably 150. When I was 150, I looked "healthy." My ultimate goal weight would be 130, but I think at 150 my face already looked kinda gaunt so I dunno.

This all happened after the popularity of Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl," and the mass consumption of porn showcasing "lesbians" and Girls Gone Wild. It suddenly became cool in our culture for girls to kiss girls. That however doesn't mean you're bi. If you are bi, that means you are attracted to men and women. I kiss my…

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

Yes, that makes perfect sense! Think I'm gunna try the gatorade.

Nuts! A handful of cashews can be 300 calories. Bananas are good too.

I hope so! I was reading some stuff online and it said that it could possibly mean you don't have enough salt in your body. I don't understand the logic behind that, but I don't know.

You can definitely lose weight by just doing weights. I don't think a little cardio would hurt though. Why don't you try doing HIIT? It's basically weight training with short cardio bursts.

I'm suppose to eat 1200 a day. I eat more like 1500-1600 because I exercise and eat back the calories. I don't log my whole exercise time because I know MFP over calculates calories burned. While I have seen myself tone up, I haven't lost any weight.

I accept hearing "you've lost weight" and even "you've gained weight" across the board. Why? Because I KNOW the truth. I know when I've lost and when I've put on. It's kinda hard to cover up. Maybe that's because I'm not someone to wear loose clothing. What's annoying to me is the question. It's kinda like, if you drop 30…

This is kinda like asking when do you stop being a boy/girl and become a man/woman. I really don't think it can be defined. If you're strictly talking about age then I think 65 and onwards. If you're talking about character, well then that all depends!

So many definitions of skinny and curvy that it's hard to say. I have a larger derriere and an ok bust, but at the end of the day I still think I'm overweight, not curvy. As much as I'd like to have that hourglass figure 8 look, I don't think I'll ever achieve it, because it's not how my body is built. It's a proportions…

This is going to sound super "gold diggerish," but if he is doing well for himself, shouldn't he offer to pay for both his and your dinner? Or the groceries when dining at home. I'm not saying it's a must every time, but every once in a while is ok I think. There are times when I'm doing better than my boyfriend and I help…

I think a combination of diet and exercise is always the best option for healthy weight loss. I can personally tell you that I lost almost 30 pounds by exercising and eating absolute garbage on a daily basis. When I say exercise, I mean 4 hrs/day for 5 or 6 days. When I say eat garbage, I mean fast food every if not every…

But that's exactly it. When I'd go I'd get dirty looks from females and males alike. It was kinda like, "I'm coming from work sorry..." And how make up is even on my face by the end of it I have no idea, because I sweat till I can't sweat anymore!

This sounds all but too familiar! My mom is a health freak. I don't want to put the blame on her, but her making junk food a taboo only made me crave it more. So when I started to make my own money I bought all the junk food imaginable. I too would hide the garbage. I went to the extent of disposing some of it in public…

Hi, I'm 22 in university.I used MFP ages ago, and it worked! However, I fell off the bandwagon and am looking to get back on. Feel free to add me as a friend :)

Hi there! I LOVE Zumba. I have 2 of the games on wii and do the occasional class when it's offered at my gym. I was considering buying the 3rd game, or the Zumba Fitness dvds. Are the dvds any good? Good luck to you on your journey :)
