this is the epiphany i had about myself that made me get on mfp. i saw a few pictures of myself and i couldn't believe what had happened to me, i was in major denial of all my jelly and my overall blah-manilla-beige-boring-mush that i've become. but this epiphany puts things in perspective and gives yourself the motivation…

i, too, have bad knees due to a congenital disorder. part of the bones didn't develop fully so it looks like i'm missing something when looking at xrays. so if i overwork my knees, kneel or have them bent for a bit, i'm in pain like an old lady. for me, i highly recommend NOT doing pilates. i did one class and we had to be…

this was the same for me. "my skinny jeans" could no longer be called, "my skinny jeans". i can take them off without unbuttoning them. they're so big that now when i wear them, it looks like i shat my pants :blushing: and i thought that was awesome! that happened at about a 12lb. loss.

italian isn't white? mixed raced? have you actually even been to italy? people from rome (central italy) and further north are blond haired and blue eyed. can't get any more white than that, i guess. i think it would be great to go to nyc, jersey or chgo and tell an italian that they're not white, they're a mixed race.…

low-fat plain yogurt or cottage cheese. even mozzarella and fresh tomatoes are delish. i'm also a fan of drinking a glass of almased in the morning. it has some carbs but full of vitamins and nutrients.

my first thought too.

yes yes and yes. and off season i choose their peanut butter and chocolate.

get some blood work done on your thyroid. i was sleeping 12-14 hour days and could go even longer and was put on anti-depressants too until they did blood work and found that my thyroid levels were high and after an ultrasound i was diagnosed with hashimotos. it also has a lot to do with your ability to lose weight.

i'm 5'6" and an hourglass shape, small framed but with unfortunately massive breasts. i'm at 202lbs. right now and a few years ago i dieted and exercised hard core to try and get my weight down for my insurance to pay for a breast reduction. i got down to a size 8 (158lbs) but my chest was still quite large (36 G). i could…

i used to power walk with those ugly mbt shoes and half pound hand weights for 1 hour plus (5-6 times a day). just from that i dropped 20 pounds, toned and dropped 3 dress sizes in 4 months. btw i was doing about 3 miles with a 3-3.5 mph pace.

check out those kneecaps and thigh muscles! keep up the good work!

about once a month i go on a sushi eating binge. all you can eat sushi, which is about 15 plates (3 pieces each). then i need to be rolled out of the restaurant and into bed.

taking a few tums used to help in the past, but now they are unbearable, like contractions. so i pop a pain killer.

@snowbell79....i think your year is put in your profile name, but damn you look 14!

was just at a wedding (germany) this weekend and it lasted over 12 hours! the best part is they had drinks and snacks prepared waiting for us at the reception and there was constant food and drinks throughout the night. the bad part was that the band was 6 hours late!!! and there was no back-up music or stereo or whatever.…

before i moved, i had an awesome zumba instructor. 1.5 hours of pure, non-stop zumba dance. he brought the energy, choreography, music and really led you in the moves. i missed zumba so much that i went to a new place and it was horrible. the music wasn't typical zumba music, it wasn't lively, the moves were too simple and…

definitely! i think clothes do look better on someone with a curve. i prefer women to be feminine, soft and curvy. someone else on here mentioned the "va va voom" factor. i want to have that.

i've got the curves just gotta bring the weight down.

swedish model, christian göran from the trivago commercials. and the ULTIMATE CRUSH, is and always will be my tommy!!

this does sound delicious, love anchovies! even mixed on a pizza with pineapple and ham.

liverwurst and ketchup on white bread. the mix of textures and salt and sweet combo is awesome! sardines and pesto steak tartar or escargot

personally there is no image in the entire world that needs to be permanently put on my body.

^^this! i drink an almased with half water half skim milk for every breakfast. i'm not a breakfast eater, so it gives me all the vitamins and nutrients i need without the guilt of calories. and i love the taste.

i also gotta add will smith.

hands down gwyneth paltrow and meg ryan comes in a close second.
