lol! no- that would be interesting though, wouldnt it?

it was my stubbornness and sarcasm that first got my boyfriends attention, and the fact that since first grade I've always read above my grade level that really pulled him in. :laugh:

not single, but when i was interested in dating these things mattered a little. basically for me, if you DIDNT have the above listed, were you TRYING to get a job/car/place to live, and how serious were you about trying? so, if you sent out one job app a week then played video games all day, it was a no go. there were also…

i havent been with my boyfriend for years, we're coming up on one year shortly. and at the peak of my weight gain (getting close to the highest weight) was when things got hot for us, so to speak lol. we had always flirted with remarks that let me know his "parts" were working just fine haha. and when i got to my heaviest,…

running with the right shoes (ive been told) can make you work your calves more. those funny looking barefoot runner shoes, i got some and saw a change in my calves in a week. very small change that you can only see when i flex. but one day at a time, right?

I get it about once a week from my sister. (she's currently around 250, and gaining.) i dont really take it that personal, because i know its just how she is. she's accepted being big and doesnt care to change it, and doesnt like that i wont accept it.

I had low self esteem stepping into it all, i had learn to accept myself. try to find a different reward beyond looking good, that helped me a lot. when i noticed i was feeling stronger, had more energy through out the day, that helped my self esteem and pushed my drive to be better at all this, to be a healthier person,…

statistics... i had a really bad speech impediment as a child, had to take special classes and everything. some words i just never got down lol. it comes out more more like "stat-uvhivtycuhbygck-s" XD or if im having a good day a lisp is just VERY prominent.

i believe its very productive (and some instructors teach it) to warm up before doing yoga. it does help with flow, in my experience. i like doing it has a cool down, but on rest days i still want to do some yoga, i dont warm up.

this is ironic for me. my sister is pregnant, and we're trying to get her to stop eating so much, and make better choices. as our mother says "she's eating enough for three!" and nope, there's only one kid in there. the gestational diabetes test is next week, and the doctor already told her she's gaining too much weight. I…

i think you're going at a great speed, as it's unheathy too lose too much, but you also didnt lose a small amount for a month. and either way, even if you only lost one pound, you arent gaining, right? so you're headed in the right direction! :flowerforyou:

for me, its been 10 pounds means belt tightening, a total of twenty for another pants size.

you're allowed to be sad, those a major losses in a persons life. you dont have to workout everyday, but you should try to be mindful of your eating. having a little ice cream or chocolate wont be the end, just make sure you can tell yourself when enough is enough. I'm terribly sorry about the things that have happened to…

that my cheeks will sink in >_> i wouldnt look right with cheek bones!

I always love new friends :] i'll be 20 next month i dont do judgmental. long distance relationship currently. 5'2 GW:135 (for now, may change when i get there) SW:210 CW:182

I have the same problem.. i dont go to a gym, but ive been trying to start running around the neighborhood. and its so hard because even if no one is out, i imagine them looking out their windows and judging me.. i know how ridiculous that is, but when im there and doing it, it doesnt feel ridiculous at all.

Honestly, i dont blame much of anyone, not even myself. my biggest problem is stress/depression eating, and i suffer from bipolar disorder. what am i supposed to say to my mom? "this mental disorder cam from your side of the family, its your fault i eat too much!" lol thats silly. and i cant blame myself for being bipolar,…

in all honesty, my biggest motivation is the scale. my feet hurt, im tired, im hungry. i dont want to cook. but i never really ate "unhealthy", i ate pre-packaged. (along with being lazy) and now im fat. lol

Very few pain killers help me, it has be prescription and really strong. i understand the death threats lol. i used to miss school for days at a time because it was too much pain, then finally my mom put me on birth control. these are my first real cramps in a LONG time lol

hmm.. i'll have to try that stretch, it sounds like it would feel great!

This one i know, when i can get my cat on my stomach and she starts purring i could fall asleep lol

Let me ask you guys this, is an orgasm the most popular because its the most effective, or because of the obvious? lol

Hi there! i beat an eating disorder a few years back, i broke my body down so much i started have hypoglycemic seizures. once we figured out the problem, i was so scared to do any activity and just sat around and ate for my life all day lol. throw in some stress, and you go from 135 to 210 in a few years. just know you…

This!

I have no idea, but i've been having the same problem! its been a little better lately, and the things that i changed were resting more (im usually on my feet just about all day) and watching my sodium intake. idk if those relate to you at all, but maybe it'll help.

for your self esteem, think less about how you look, and more about your health. altering a state of mind isnt easy, but it helped me a lot. if it fits into your budget, you dont have to cook fruits. mix them up with some yogurt and its nice treat. and there is always canned fruit, thats better than nothing. (although it…

When i first arrived here, i felt the same way. my average day was 300 tops. i was so excited when i started burning 500 a day, and now i try to push my minimum to 800, or 500- 400 on lazy days. but i still get a bit grumbly when i see people burning sooo much in one day all the time. but i'll get there, and so will you!…

people who are trying to lose weight but dont exercise, they just change what they eat... i know thats going to have an effect, but you're going to gain it back easier if you slip up! and if you're in the game, get in the game and be as healthy as you can be!!

thanks for the recipe ideas! i dont have ingredients today, but i'll remember them in the future :] the thing is i do go over there quite a bit, so i guess i'll just talk to her about it like you guys said. last time we did talk about it a little, so i'll just pick that up and explain further. thanks guys <3

I have to agree with this. i dont have any disorders that slow my metabolic rate, (but i am hypoglycemic and maybe that changes it for me more than i realize) but eating all of my exercise calories never worked for me. It varies day to day what i eat. if im hungry, i'll eat some back, if im not, i dont eat any.
