I have to have protein in the morning or I'm hungry in a few hours. Egg cups (Hungry Girl) or greek yogurt and a Luna Bar.

What a lovely thing to say. :)

John Lennon and Princess Diana because both were so senseless.

So you've cracked the code but still managed to eat yourself out of shape? :)
-
I've perused your diary and I don't get it - you make a habit of not eating enough calories. Aren't you afraid that if you ever start to eat normally you'll gain back every pound you've lost and more? I've had days where I've not eaten enough but I don't make a habit of having hundreds and hundreds of calories left over at…

God bless you and your family. :)

I've run three days in a row. When I'm in the mood (and I've been indulging) I just do it. Usually I'm a M-W-F-Sun girl.

Have you met my mother? Hell no! :) But I don't drink every day. I may have a glass of wine twice a week. I'm acutely aware of "drinking your calories" so I stick to water mostly.

Titanium - David Guetta/Sia.

Girl, you're not even an hourglass - you are lean and mean! Amazing job and so inspirational. :)

Every morning, stark naked. It's helped me learn that fluctuations from day to day are normal.

I run at the crack of dawn to avoid bugs and heat. I've never had a problem with mosquitos when I run but I think they may fog the park where I do most of my running.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you have to consider the possibility that maybe she doesn't find your body attractive and was trying to steer you towards her aesthetic. I find older women, in particular, think muscles are unfeminine. But their are "gym know it all" types in every gym I've ever been to. Heck, I've…

No. Two-thirds of Americans don't overeat and avoid exercise because they're diseased. Obesity may cause or exacerbate many diseases, but obesity is not itself a disease. This is about making money for big drug companies and doctors, who will now prescribe surgery and medication for every fat person they see. It also…

Sounds like you've successfully justified your binge eating ... in your own mind. LOL.

My tip would be DON'T DO IT. It's very restrictive and you can mess up your body chemistry, bone density, and kidneys. I did Atkins when I was in my 20s and lost weight but also didn't feel good or "normal" for at least six months. It is not a normal state for the body to be in. The only carb anybody should give up is…

I've been doing yoga for over 10 years but found it just wasn't enough so I did the C25K about 3 years ago at the suggestion of one of the girls in my yoga class. I love it. They are the perfect complement to one another.

OMG! I'm so tired of parents who say they feel "selfish" for needing to do something for themselves. I have a 23-year-old on the spectrum AND a 21-year-old who is VERY hard of hearing (almost deaf). When they were young I used to give myself a break and go sit in a bookstore alone, with a coffee, thumbing through books. A…

I eat Luna bar many mornings before I go run when I don't feel like eating and I know just coffee won't give me the fuel I need. I don't consider them "real" food but rather as a better version of a granola bar.
-
I throw containers of greek yogurt in the freezer and pop one out when I'm hot and need a treat.

I learned how to drive on a stick 40 years ago and think it's the best way to teach kids to drive. They can actually control the vehicle and get a better understanding of how cars actually work. And it always impresses the boys!

You took a boy out of the country and this is what happens! It may take a long while for him to be comfortable in his new setting. I used to live and work in the city and I'm very comfortable in that setting. My sister, on the other hand, has NEVER lived in a metropolitan area and just the thought of parallel parking gives…

I never lost a pound running ONLY, but I'm a 5K/4 x week kind of gal not a marathoner. And I'm also the classic "I ran 3 miles today I can eat that pie" kind of gal too. When I started MFP in January and set my calories to 1200 (I'm only 5'3") the weight started falling off and I'm at about 26 pounds gone now (in 5…

56 in August. There's also a forum specifically for 50+ folks. Feel free to friend me.

Damn that's funny. :)
-
I'm the same height and when I was that weight I wore a 12. I just find it fascinating that bodies can be so different.
-
5'3", 125 pounds, size 6. Down from a 12 six months ago. I have not been a size 6 since I was in my early 20s. It has been very hard to get used to and even kind of strange. When I go into a store I still head straight for the 12s. I was a 12 for probably 25 years. I wish I had MFP when I was younger. Would have saved me a…

LOVE Breaking Bad. I will be so sorry to see it go as this is the last season. I watch Mad Men faithfully and think it's one of the best written shows on air currently. I love Game of Thrones, Dexter, Walking Dead, and The Killing as well.

I have family in both Denver and Minnesota and they think we're p*ssies. :)
