I stole lipgloss one time in Junior High.

Oh I SO SO need this challenge! Most people are more active in the summer and eat lighter--but to me summer means drinking beer on restaurant patios and shoving french fries into my mouth and then maybe MAYBE swimming/walking for 20 minutes. Weight loss is way easier for me during the brutal North Dakota winters when I…

Thanks guys, I feel better today. :-)

1200 is hard to do. I have my official goal set at 1200, but I look at that as the minimum I should eat per day. I find eating little treats like organic suckers throughout the day prevents me from feeling deprived. Good luck! :-)

I love Zevia! Drinking a root beer right now, they also have diet cola. http://www.zevia.com/

My husband didn't like me dating other people

Most people don't mean anything bad by it, but I understand where you're coming from. There's an inherent judgment in the question "Have you lost weight?" It can feel like that person is insinuating your old self somehow had less value than your current, thinner self.

Stress of the job Constantly changing hours Tight schedule, end up grabbing fast food instead of cooking real meals, no gym time.

I'm Shannon, I live in the midwest (US), I work in a call center but am almost done with a Social Work certification, and I'm 26. :-)

Sounds legit...

Your online boyfriend is a *kitten*. You have a right to be treated with dignity and respect simply for being a human being. This guy needs help, and as others on this thread noted, may have PTSD or some other kind of mental problem. This is not a YOU problem. I think you should smash his Iphone and leave it at the front…

Wow, those people are absolute douches! 206 is NOT that big. Cut those negative d bags out of your life and use those nasty comments for motivation! I hope you feel better. :-)

Thanks Teamiconic, great motivation for me! I do eat alot of my favorite thing every day, but you're right about not needing to eat the same thing every day to lose weight! :-)

Wow, this is such a great visual!! :-)

I feel like once a week is just right. It's often enough to see your progress, but not so often you become obsessed with an arbitrary number.

Any kind of nut butter is a binge trigger for me. I also can't keep any kind of "snack" food in the house (other than vegetables and fruit) because I will eat that instead of meals. My mom sent me a care package full of "healthy" snacks like (Lara bars, bumble bars, ginger candies, gluten free rice crackers) and it…

You are obviously second-guessing yourself, follow your higher instincts. 17 years old is a world away from 29. Don't be a creeper, find someone in your own demographic.
