I just don't like mean people. Anything else can probably be dealt with, but if you're mean? Go inflict it on someone else. edit: But I have zero interest in dating. Like, if you offered me an all expense paid date or a root canal that I had to pay for (and I don't even need one), I'm not entirely sure which I would…

I don't know, but I originally came in contact with my (now ex) husband online, and in one of our chats (long before we met) I typed the word 'independant' [sic]. I don't remember the exact context, but it was a fairly long message with some thought involved that I'm sure my then 25ish year old self thought was very…

I know the answer is to start lifting heavy yesterday, but my brain came up with a question the other day that I can't answer. I hate it when it does that. Ok. So we know that you can't build muscle when you're eating at a deficit, but you can build strength. And being strong is undeniably good! But... If you aren't…

Anyway, better than goats is FAINTING GOATS.

Ok, maybe I don't understand. How do OTHER people force opinions down, say, YOUR throat here on this message board? Is it by writing posts?

GOATS GOATS GOATS The world needs more goats. GOATS RULE.

Usually I only offer opinions when someone posts a thread asking for them. I generally don't give a crap what other people think so I don't ask for their opinions, and I have never had a throat-jumping-opinion-shoving experience, let alone all the time.

Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep?

True. They may taste good, but underneath it all, they're basically just bitter.

My goodness, this has been masterful.

Check out the book 'the fat girls guide to exercise and other incendiary acts ' ... sit down in the bookstore and read the first chapter or so. It really helped give me a new perspective on my body. :)

It's unlikely someone would choose to splurge on graham crackers, I agree, but a splurge is relative. Maybe swall severely limits her sugar intake. Four Oreos could be a very big splurge.

Aw, c'mon, splurge was perfectly acceptable here. In fact, I give props to the fact that it wasn't a 'binge.' I cringe every time I read the word binge here (from the lunatic fringe).

Yep, I know. In my opinion, when a person is heavier, measurements are a little less exact (especially for the layperson measuring herself). It's easier to hold the tape too tight or too loose, or not in the right place. My measurements are close as it stands, and perhaps with less room for error, they will fall within the…

Yeah, totally quoting myself here, cos I'm rad like that. My measurements are close to hourglass-- I have a 9" difference from my bust to my waist, and then my hips are about 1.5-2" less than my bust. I have enough gooey fluffy chub that maybe when it's all flat and well behaved... maybe... maybe... maybe... I'll still be…

I'm top heavy. I'm always top heavy. I'm like a Weeble that wobbled. :(

That'd be my expectation/hope. Gettin' it all out early!

Can't answer, but can help with pics:

crap wrong thread

All of them, because I like to. I only update here when I think of it though... last time was maybe a half week ago. Someone mentioned the Libra app (it's free!) a couple-few weeks ago and since downloading it, I am obsessed with inputting new data each morning. I think one out of every five posts I make lately mentions…

Orangutan.

Can't help ya, Burt, but I know you're a smart fellow and I'm confident you'll figure it out. Now I want to talk about ME. I see a therapist for depression. My first session there, I mentioned that I was thinking about getting a pilates reformer. She encouraged me to do so because exercise is good for depression. Next time…

10 is way too many when one can cover it all: Shut up and do it.

Well. You may want to consider witchcraft or maybe even a curse. Didn't Stephen King write a book about that? Guy was cursed to lose weight? Another option is demonic possession. Demons are hot--temperature-wise, not attractive, silly!--and thus you would burn more calories. Have you been feeling particularly evil lately?…

I kinda hate to comment because the variety of advice in this thread is starting to feel like throwing it at the wall and seeing what sticks, but... My understanding is that as you get closer to goal weight, you don't make your deficit as large. Instead of 20%, you only cut 5 or 10%. And yes, it's going to be…

I think you are magic. :flowerforyou: Not because of the weight loss or anything, but just because YOU LIVE IN MY COMPUTER AND TYPE MESSAGES FOR ME TO READ OMG HOW WEIRD

When I was here before, I worried about the same things. "How can I do this most effectively if I don't have a better grasp on how accurate everything is? I have a thyroid condition, my metabolism is slow, I'm not like other people! Every time I put my numbers in a calculator on a different site, I get a different result!…

I don't seek hairy guys, but I also don't shun them. I recognize that shaving's a drag so if he doesn't want to shave, groom, whatever, that's cool too, so long as he doesn't have an issue with me not doing likewise. Hair is hair. People have it. Life goes on.

:love: :love: :love: :love: :love: I just want to read this over and over and over again all day all day all day. And then read it again. AND THEN MAKE OTHER PEOPLE READ IT GRR RAWR! And then read it over and over and over all day all day all day. It's great to think about all this stuff because it means we're engaged in…

You say that like there's something wrong with narwhals, or that they're unhappy. I would be delighted to be a narwhal. Imaging being able to swim freely and joyously, poking annoying things in the butt! I think we should all make an effort to feel MORE like narwhals, in fact.
