I was actually considering intermittent fasting but I wasn't entirely sure about it! The stuff I read said it may not be as effective for women, though I suppose it depends on the individual of course. I also worry I would struggle to eat enough during the allowed window, and end up severely undereating. If I get stuck for…

The health related ones, yeah, the other ones (brushing up on languages, getting back into creative stuff, etc.) not so much, but it's still quite early in the year!

So far I'm on track with my goals as well, although that isn't translating to the scale for some reason! I've tracked accurately all week and stayed under my calorie goal, and exercised a few days. Didn't do any exercise over the weekend, but I also didn't go over my calories, and considering Saturday was my birthday I"d…

Yeah, not too much activity here. I'm in another group called Not That Heavy Girls which is more active, but seeing as you're not a girl I'm not sure that's too helpful for you, haha.

Is it possible you're overestimating your calories? I know people usually have the opposite problem, but I've found that I tend to overestimate on some things. Like 2 tbsp of peanut butter is *way* more than I normally put on a sandwich, but I used to count it as a full serving. That or it may just be general stress. If…

Sent ya a friend request! Texas represent!!

Glad I'm not alone there! My wedding rings have also gotten a little loose lately, which is both good and bad, haha!

Right now, probably my wrists. Probably a weird choice, but oh well! Once I get a little closer to my goal I'll have more options to choose from.

Being afraid that your doctor won't believe you is a really common problem among people with eating disorders. You don't necessarily need to fit one set of criteria specifically to be diagnosed, either. They may choose the one that fits the most, or just say you're ED-NOS (not otherwise specified) which can be a combo like…

I got mine for $10 about 6 years ago. It's been through 7 or 8 moves, spent a lot of time cooped up in a box in a garage, and it still works perfectly! As long as it's digital (I had an analog one at first and it sucked), has tare, and g/oz options, you're good to go! Mine actually has a whole mess of features that I've…

New years always breathes some life into weight loss/fitness groups, haha. Hopefully some of us will stick!

Welcome to the group, Laura! I'm kinda in the same boat as everyone else. For some reason I've been up a couple pounds this week (I weigh myself every day even though I know it's stupid). I'm hoping it's water weight because I just started working out again, but it's still extremely frustrating when I"ve been so good about…

2 splenda and a dash (2 or 3 teaspoons) of 1% milk for me.

Awesome, I'll get in on that. :D

It might help you to do some outside reading. A lot of the really good stories are in the higher level content, or outside the game entirely. Go have a look around wowpedia.org, read about some really big characters like Arthas Menethil, or Jaina Proudmore, or Thrall, or Garrosh Hellscream. I don't know if you're playing…

Amy - I just got a boxer (mix) puppy!! He's 12 weeks old today, and he is a handful! As far as the posture stuff goes, Jitsuda, I know I end up slouching and hunched over my computer a lot. If you think about the way you're sitting or standing, and often aren't sitting up straight, you could probably work on your posture!…

Joe, how far are you? Are you reading the quests? There's so much lore in WoW! I know it's a little disjointed now because of some of the revamping that was done, but there are still a ton of great stories as you level. You'll run into the same characters in different level brackets, too, so ya gotta pay attention!

My family and I conspired to get my husband a PS4 this Christmas. So far he's really enjoyed Battlefield 4, but we haven't explored it too much outside of that. I want to get the camera for it to play with the included mini-games, and maybe to get a fitness related game. Though right now it looks like the only one that is…

Huzzah! Soon there will be dozens of us! DOZENS!!!

Welcome to the group!! Your English is better than my Spanish, haha. Good luck meeting your goals!

Thanks for the tip, Ashley. :) I've started working with my Wii Fit posture/balance game again, too. It really helped me when I first got it. I suppose introductions (especially for us newbies) would be a good idea! I'm Taylor, I'm 26, married but no kids (unless you count my 2 dogs and 2 cats!). I've always been a bit of…

Welcome to the group! I just joined myself a week or so ago, and everyone here is really nice. :)

Yeah it definitely gets harder the lower you get. 115 was basically impossible for me to maintain. I stayed around 125 for a while, but I was also several years younger so I don't know if I'll be able to do that again.

Awesome, have fun! I kinda miss lifting. My husband and I want to save up to get a squat rack and a bench for home!

I feel your pain! I've lost about 15 lbs this past year, but I still feel pretty much the same. The lowest I've ever been was about 115 in college (I'm 5'5"), and unfortunately I still felt the same then too, from what I can remember. Of course at that time my highest weight was like 138, so maybe it's a relative thing?…

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone! If you want to go by names mine is Taylor. I spend so much time at the computer, it's really hard to stop slouching. I'm also concerned I might have a bit of an anterior pelvic tilt. My abs are really weak so hopefully working on that area will help the tilt, too.

I used to walk 3 or 4 times a week with my dog and husband, but now that it's gotten so cold I never want to go outside. I hate the cold!! I tried P90x in the past, and it's definitely rough during! I'll have to work my way back up to that. Great job working around the weird holiday schedules!!

I thought I'd added my name here, but I guess not! Age: 26 Height: 5'5" SW: 152 CW: 135 GW: 120-125 Feel free to add me even if we're not exactly twins!

I noticed it was a little dead, too. I just joined a few days ago. I suppose we can breathe some new life into it!

Hello!! I sent you a friend request. Good luck with your goals!
