Starting college this fall, so excited and extremely nervous... Gotta try not to let the college lifestyle ruin my somewhat healthy diet :)

I feel you. Well... had this for a while, then started to feel horrible and forced myself to eat more. The appetite comes back : ) But the forcing oneself is hard.

Used to love DevA and be very active, posting art... but lately the community side of the site is getting weird so I'm off that. Nice pics :)

I eat everything. Everything. However I refuse too greasy foods usually because my conscience can't take it.

Working out jsut as much as before :) After all I do it for fitness and health, not weightloss (anymore).

I'm an artist and crafter, earn some modest money with my drawings and sew a lot for LARP... and fail at knitting again and again due to forgetting how... but I'll try some other time. Also geek and nerd from the heart :))

I just... tried it! I went out and jogged, I looked so stupid with my red face and heavy breathing, but I tried it (remember 'yolo'? Sometime this slogan is actually right). And when I met people in the streets I didn't care- The fear is only there before, once you start it's all gone, for some weird and great reason. :)…

I did this with trout yesterday, but it's a good technique for salmon, too, I think. I recommend it (at least the trout version, I loved it so much): 2 whole trouts / 4 salmon filets Mix: about 30grams of butter, 1 tbsp of dill, 1 tbsp of parsley, pepper, 1 chopped clove of garlic, 1 chopped onion Salt the fish (don't be…

The smell of rooibos gives me an intense headache but GIMME ALL THE OTHER TEA! Grew up in a family drinking tea all day, camomile, black, peppermint, green, everything :) Some had/have to grow on me but I give every tea a chance or two and usually it wins me over.

I know now- but back then it was all magic to me. Well, we built our own fun some other way: roller blades/inline skates + open, solid umbrella in a storm on an empty road, anyone? :DD Seriously one of the best experiences in my life. Ah, childhood...

Ballet and riding classes, lol :) Also I always wanted to see the boars in the woods close to us but never got to see any. There was an old man in the woods whose hobby it was to observe the wildlife there. He told me so much about boars that I still have this weird huge love for them. Oh, and these bad boys:

Just started a few months ago with MFP, and already reached maintance- I did not have much to lose. But my journey is faaaaar from over, because now that I have dropped the kilos I wanted to get rid of there's my actual and most important goal: fitness and health! And I have the feeling that this journey will never be over…

I'm trying to maintain and get more active, want to get into running :)

Metro 2034, the first book (Metro 2033) was the one I read just before... also I am struggling with The Physician for no real reason, but I am determined to finish it... eventually.

Morrowind comes to my mind the quickest. Mhh, I miss it <3

My belly not looking stupid in slightly tigher shirts! :D ...on the other hand I have to wear belts now all the time to keep my pants up, but that's a little sacrifice of comfort compared to the greater gain of less sweating, feeling lighter all together and slimmer arms :)

If I could get fresh whole milk here I would be the happiest thing on the planet- I love the stuff! Here I buy... as whole as it gets (3.5% - 3.8% fat) and it's the only milk I am willing to drink (low fat tastes like nothing to me). Since I am a constant dieter I simply don't drink crazy amounts, thus I am safe from too…

The most flexible person I know is pretty chubby. I'm thin-ish and not that flexible.

Rock on, guys~ *sitting at home while boyfriend goes to metal festival* *annoying neighbours with loud music*

Try eating salads; here are my usual, super quick recipes: Paprika, tomato, cucumber with dill, pepper, salt and a bit of oil Tomato, cucumber with a bit of sour cream, pepper and salt Lettuce, tomato, olives, feta with a bit of oil, salt, pepper and oregano Just shove some veggies together in a bowl and season- enjoy!…

I'm in the same situation :) College starts in a couple of months for me and I want to be healthy, too! :) Would be lovely to support you.

Hmm... when it's not there I don't want it, I never crave sweets, thus I never buy any. If it's there I might plan to eat one as a little treat... then I don't care about going over my calories (gasp, 200cal over? Oh noes!) Seriously, some sins won't kill you :)

"Eat yer millet and oats, it's what they feed horses and horses have great hair!" - My grandmother I'd definitely check if you are getting all the vitamins, minerals etc that you need, if you are and the hair loss continues... ask a doctor? Or at a pharmacy, they might be able to give advice on that.

In some more or less harsh lessons I learned how important eating is and when I eat less that 1000 I know I will be utterly tired the next day... so I don't. My goal (1100) looks low but that's only like this to motivate myself to not eat way too much, I go over it all the time and usually end up at around 1400-1700. This…

Carbs good, I like carbs, yummy. The key is moderation, the key to everything.

If you add me you can see my diary :) I'm maintaining my weight this way since quite a while now.

Well, we're in the same boat, tomorrow is a party and I'll drink as I usually do; not very much and only what I like. Really, I have no problem with saying no to alcohol, but oh yes give me the good booze. And beer. <3 It's not the end of the world to have a great time and take in too many calories, if you're consistent…

Lemon cake :P

Whole wheats are turned to sugar slowly, meaning they keep you feel longer, while white bread will have you very hungry very soon. Meh, I love all the bread though <3 I don't avoid it at all, a slice of bread with jam for breakfast is great, or some breat to dip into a soup, brilliant. Some people avoid it because they…

I'm German :) If you want to visit the kind of Germany most foreingers imagine when hearing 'Germany', visit Bavaria. Stuff you have to eat: Currywurst mit Pommes (Curry sausage with fries) which you can get snack bars on the streets. Berlin is great but very crowded if you ask me, Leipzig is beautiful for example and less…
