This didn't happen exactly to me, but I was with a friend and her mom in line at Target, or something, and my friend and her mom were speaking together, in Romanian. An older woman in front of them turned and basically shouted out, "If you gon' be in this country, you gotsa speak English!" She used a few choice slurs for…

Hi there! You and I seem to be relatively similar in age and starting weight. Last year, I had one big cheat day per week, usually 2500 calories per day or more, and I was still able to lose 1-2 lbs per week. BUT. I ended up putting all of the weight back on over time, because one big cheat led to two days cheating, to a…

"Roger, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the Tunneling Electron Microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. Roger, if I were using that…

I have a lot of great ideas in dreams, but which, hashed out in the cold light of day, just sound ridiculous. Hot fizzy drinks, a singing doorbell, portable trashcan, fashionable bibs. I have a sneaking suspicion that fashionable bibs will become de rigeur in the next few years though.

Love outlander. The books are great. I'm watching The Handmaid's Tale and it's terrifying but it's so good!

First they came for our shoes, and I said nothing, for they were only shoes. Then they came for our water bottles, and I said nothing because I had no water bottle. Then they came for our protein bars, and there was no one left to speak for me.

Oh, I am. We're everywhere.

Oh man, I'm a loud sigher. But it's not because life is terrible, it's just that sometimes I don't breathe deeply enough....When I do it, I make sure to add, "Just breathing!" Wow, I have issues.

I'm a teacher, and I confess that sometimes, I don't really grade. I just think about the student's general performance and just give them that mark. Too lazy.

Another teacher calls himself a squirrel. Literally. He's always like, "We squirrels...". He also occasionally squeaks. Not squeaking like a rusty chair. He literally says, "Squeak! What a large donut!" He's more of a hilarious eccentric than a Michael Scott...but some days....

Hi , guys! I bought this DVD awhile ago, did the first level only. Now that I'm trying to get back into fitness, I'm excited to try it out again! But question: I don't have access to weights, even small ones. There aren't really a lot of fitness stores where I live, and those that exist are prohibitively expensive. Any…

hey, i'm getting married in september, looking to lose at least 30lbs by then. we can do it!

Oh man, yeah. I lost 23 lbs, and within the last 4 months, I've put 17 lbs back on =[. But I gotta get married this year, so I gotta get on it. We can do it, dude!

I met a very nice guy through some family friends. He asked me out to see Spiderman 2. He wore a bowtie and highwater Dockers. He brought his sister. He made one mildly amusing comment at the beginning of the film and repeated it upwards of 20 times during the entire movie. Afterwards, we met up with the family friends AND…

that was THE most flawless response.

I looove dancing, especially salsa. I was in Cali, Colombia (the salsa capital of the world) recently, and I had a blast.

Some of my friends were complaining about how Disney is just going to start pumping them out now, like Harry Potter movies. And I was like...Your point is?! I was STOKED when I heard there was going to be a movie/year. We had such a long dry spell after (and let's be honest--during) the prequels. I'm so ready.

Well, that's an easy one: Alan Thicke.

A grilled salmon fillet with spicy honey sauce (two tablespoons honey, one teaspoon habanero pepper sauce=oooooooh yeah) and a banana with peanut butter.

I'm not a Star Trek fan at all, so I really enjoyed the new films. However, even though I'm not a fan, I can't believe the guy did that. There must be a lot of Trekkies throwing bricks through his windows at night.

My broken heart made me hit the gym everyday. Ultimately, it didn't stick and I gained most of it back, but it made me work hard for awhile. But the best thing the broken heart made me do was realize that I need to focus on my own goals and dreams and not try to plan my life around someone else. Stay strong.

If you hit the recommended calorie goal that MFP gives you, you are going to lose weight (barring some factors like disease and sodium intake). If you exercise, you are expanding the amount of calories you can eat in a day and if you don't eat them back, you will lose more weight. Aside from walking pretty much everywhere…

Lots of beans, tuna, whole wheat pasta, and fruits and vegetables. This stuff is healthy and inexpensive. But the others on here are right--eat whatever you want, just be faithful and truthful about counting your calories.

Well, I ended up losing about a pound, but I won't be overindulging anymore--or if I do, I'll limit it to one day and not nine...Thanks for the input, guys!

I know you weren't! I don't really get it either. There's someone on my friends list who does it and gets really discouraged because of it and I keep thinking...Why TF are you doing that to yourself?

That Leonard Cohen cover by Antony and the Johnsons gave me chills!!!!

Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, Mountain Man, Grizzly Bear, The Antlers--although these guys are actually super depressing =/

Holy crap, you could have lost a limb. You were about 20 seconds and a tourniquet away from being an after school special
