Okay, please tell me this is just a joke thread considering it is placed under chit-chat, fun, and games board.

Daaaaaaaammmmmnnn girl, you look AMAZING! That is awesome to reach a goal of single digits. You look so happy. Congrats again on your NSV :)

Hi Shelbye! I just started here about a month ago and they are all right; this is a great community of supportive people who will encourage you and keep you motivated. My friends in real life have pretty much become non-existent and I have found some amazing friends on here. Feel free to add me! I'm on here every day :)

You know what, I have no idea. Every time I go see a doctor, I ask but they think I'm joking.

Yeah, they were pretty shocked. Couldn't figure out why my appendix was on the wrong side! It's a pretty rare condition. 1 in 10,000.

I am situs inversus, which means my internal organs are opposite a normal person's.

How are the shakes? I'm looking into incorporating protein shakes and my boyfriend suggest Special K. Which are your favorite flavors?

I have been reading a lot about this too and yes, you are getting it :) I was given 1900 calories but I net around 1400 calories a day with exercise. A lot of people on my friends list say to eat back your exercise calories (so if you burn 400 calories, you can eat back those 400 calories). I don't always eat back my…

Well, your net calories is how many calories you consume minus the calories you burn. It is the number of calories you are giving your body. To have a negative net calorie, then that means you are not feeding your body at all. Think of it this way: you only have given your body 571 out of the 1220 calories. You are under…

I met my boyfriend of three and a half years online (eharmony). We are still long distance and probably will be for a while as he is in grad school and I'm working to save money to move one day. There is a stigma of online relationships and the more traditional people HATE online relationships. When I first met his…

I think the biggest part, at least for me, is admitting that I am finally ready. In high school, I never noticed if I lost weight but a friend came up to me and said, "You're getting skinny on me!" It felt amazing to hear that, but at the same time, that chocolate bar was just as tasty too. Now, I am making that conscious…

Hello from Northern Michigan! Welcome to MFP!

To be honest, for a long time I was in a similar boat (though no little ones!). I went to school full time, worked 30+ hours a week, and never had time to work out. That was four years ago. I promised myself this past semester that when I got my degree in December, I would have the time to lose the weight. In the four and…

Welcome! I just started week 2 on MFP and the community on here is excellent. Feel free to add me :) Together we can do this!

So true! In the last week I have barely been on FB. In fact, I was just scrolling through my news feed thinking there is nothing good going on, just lots of stupid pointless posts. At least here I'm not afraid to say "been working out! Lost 2 lbs this week!" On fb, if I said that, I would not get the same reaction as I do…

Just sent you a request. I'm 22 (almost 23). Anyone feel free to add me as well :)

Good morning! I'm glad to see you are feeling well this morning and have a plan for today. Snacking is what gets me too. Don't be afraid to snack though. I have found a small bit of animal crackers or an apple will satisfy me when I get that food craving. Good luck moving your clients!

Thank you ladies!!
