The Secret World of Alex Mac ^^ (I'm pretty sure that's what it was called... Great show) Also, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Charmed Angel Friends V I'm sure there are more, but that's all I got right now :)

I LOVE this one ^^ Buffy forever!... Though I do know what Thestrals are as well... Some of this other stuff, though-- I'm a little lost...

Haha! This ^^ I was just thinking the same thing....

Almost everything you will ever do, or have done, is not easy at first. You get better with practice. Being healthy is not supposed to be about going on a diet, something that has an end; it's a process that will last for the rest of your life. With that in mind, know that every day isn't going to be perfect, but every day…

Sugars are part of your carbohydrates. I don't track it because if I had a fruit shake for breakfast in the morning, I was already over and it was driving me crazy. I asked on my page and the general consensus was that, unless you have diabetes or another health concern, as long as you're staying under your cals and your…

Me too! I just watch portions.

Well, I think you're doing great! Keep up the good work and don't worry about what some supposed friend is saying. There are people who are just negative about EVERYTHING and they'll make all sorts of excuses about why someone can do something while they can't (i.e. "It's much easier for you to have time to workout, you…

An effective instructor should be changing the routine every few weeks so that people's muscles don't get too used to the moves. What kind of job do you work? If it's food service, you could always try to add in wall pushups, pulse squats, and/or standing calf raises while you wait for your food to come up on the line or…

I live in South Jersey and I mostly like it... I live 10 minutes outside of Atlantic City, an hour away from Philly and two hours-ish from NYC, but the area that I'm in (aside from the traffic) has a small town feel to it. I love that I'm so close to "big cities" but I don't have to live there.

Friend request sent! Welcome :)

I think it probably depends on the restaurant. I worked in two different places for years, never fast food, but both of those places had managers that were crazy about food safety. We used to have health department "drills" where our GM would come through and pretend to be someone from the health department. And we used to…

^^So much this!

^^This I find that sarcastic/funny remarks actually do make people think without actually having to call them out on it directly... It's a little passive aggressive, but in the workplace, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You could also, individually, speak with them and just tell them that it makes you…

This could be fun :) I'm 29 5'5" SW: 237 (this is on MFP, my heaviest last year was 276) GW: 170- ish I live in NJ. I've been pretty good lately about working out for about 45 mins in the mornings, mixture of cardio and weight training. I really want to sign up for the Color Run 5K in Atlantic City in October. That's…

The first two weeks I was on here, I set to 2 pounds a week and I didn't lose anything. Granted, I had a bit of a hard time staying under the 1250 or calories they gave me. Since I set it to 1 pound a week, I now have 1750 calories a day and rarely eat all of them (actually I stay about 1300-1400) and I I've lost 5 pounds.…

Started: 236.2 Current: 232.4 Loss: 3.8 So, I didn't do as well as I had hoped to do. But that's ok. I'm forgiving myself and moving on. This week and next are the big tests to how I do; I have projects and papers due for all of my classes and then the following week is finals... Yay! My energy is good, most of the time…

Reading your post brought tears to my eyes. I am not a mom, but I want to be someday. I've had body issues since I was a little kid. I can remember girls on the bus in 1st or 2nd grade making fun of each other for being "fat". I was lucky in that my mom (who is AMAZING, btw) always told me that "sticks and stones may break…

Sent a fr... Hopefully we can help each other out :)

Hi... Sending you a fr now :)

Friend request sent. I have a lot more to lose than you do, but hopefully we can keep each other in check! Good job so far!

I'm not a fan of the word "cheat" when applied to so-called dieting. With that said, I'm also not a fan of the word "diet". Diet implies that it is something that is going to end at some point, something that has an expiration date. My aim, personally, is to make a lifestyle change. I want to change my life. I want to look…

I generally eat pretty well except for when I'm sitting at work doing nothing. I have a really hard time getting up in the morning, so I'm always running late to class. Because of that, I found this recipe for oatmeal muffins that I keep in the freezer and pull out the night before to thaw (really good, made with mashed…

29, Female 5'5" CW: 237 Challenge GW: 215 Long Term GW: 170, for now :)

I'm just starting to get back into working out again after a looonngg hiatus. I'm taking it slow for now because I know me. Right now, I have a daily calisthenics routine that I try to change up every week. Right now it's squats, lunges, pushups, mountain climbers and crunches. I don't really have a set number of reps; I'm…
