Can I join too!?! :D I'm a few pounds away from my initial GW but I'm swtiching focus to what my body feels/looks like. I'm a part of a cpl other groups and I have plenty of friends, but one thing that I think would help me stay more accountable is if I had a buddy or two that have the same goals as me AND want to stay…

Bumping to help a girl out! :)

bump for TOM next week LOL!! :laugh:

Wow, apparently I make the LAMEST meals ever! Bumping for inspiration! :)

I do what I can :wink:

I'm thinking of starting next week (or whenever I get over this cold). There's no amount of tissue in the ´world that would let me run oudoors at this point... Feel free to add me WITH a quick msg that you found my profile here. I'm on daily--and a religious logger when I'm not wasting away in bed. :wink:

I think I've done pretty well in my 25 years. I've been "a bit" reckless. I've done a decent amount of "adrenaline-related activities" that often appear on bucket lists. I've made unbelievable memories, and good friends from distant lands. I've had nights I don't remember, and days I'll never forget. I've moved across the…

Meanwhile, back on topic.... I honestly feel for those that knew him personally, and I hope he doesn't get too bashed in the media. It's a shame if it's an overdose, but the fact that he sought help means that he was trying to overcome it at some point. His family and friends are real people (Canadians to boot!) and they…

hahahaha!! you're amazing, totally agree :drinker: (yes everyone, that smiley is holding beer.)

POUTINE!!!!! HOW many times have I woken up with a half-eaten pile of poutine? Ahhh the Canadian way. Obviously, with the whole "quit drinking" thing is pretty straight forward, but let's be honest, probably not what you're looking for. SO if you live on your own, I'd recommend popcorn, cause it's kinda like chips and just…

Hey! I just restarted 30DS and I'm gonna do day 3 later today, but if you want more support, just search 30 day shred and you'll find soooo many people who are doing it right now! Feel free to add me :)

Yay! Congrats on seeing a change, and I bet you felt great the whole time you were wearing it! :wink: I hope this keeps you motivated. Imagine how that dress will look next year! :bigsmile:

I think it's pretty personal. If I'm killing it one day (park, heavy pow, hiking to different spots, whatever I'm up to) I'll just say it was 5 hrs. If I'm just cruising around hitting small stuff, or riding with "less experienced folk" and sticking to groomers, I'd call it what it is, and only log the time cruising as…

This^^. But if you're experiencing pain with walking, I'll recommend biking (easier on the joints). Also, just because your sister is at 1200 doesn't mean you should lower your calorie goal. It sounds like you're not dropping weight at a lower cal goal anyways. Your body may be responding poorly to the "lack" of cals…

you're awesome! :drinker:

bump can't help personally but hope someone else can! Good luck and have fun with it "Mike" ;)

Hey, you're welcome to add me. :smile: I've only been on MFP since mid-May and I'm down 15 pounds, and only a few away from my original goal weight (130lbs). I might aim for another 5 pounds, but I'm turning my focus to BF% at this point, and I still have about 5% to lose, so I've got a ways to go! I practically live on…

I'm totally going through the same thing right now! I'm 5'6 currently 132.9 (yay! haha) and my goal weight is 130. I've lost 15 pounds and I think I'm going to change my "GW" to 125, even though weight isn't as important to me. I'd really like to see a 20%BF, because I'm currently at like 26% or something, and that's whats…

THIS The whole time I was reading the OP I was thinking you should get a dog. A medium or large dog (let's be honest) that has an "average" exercise/energy level would be good. This way, it's not a jack russel or something that needs TONS of exercise, which in your line of work isn't going to happen, but also not a…

I came across this quote in a book recently, and It stuck with me: "No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal." Marilyn Ferguson As much as you want to help him and shake his…

bump I'm about 3-4 pounds away from my goal of 130lbs, and still at like 26%BF... I'd love to know what others recommend! I'm in the same boat, with being unable to afford a membership right now... Also, I'm more concerned about BF% than weight, so if I lose/gain a few, I'm not too worried :) :smile:

ooooooh perfume! now you're talking!! :D I'm totally on board with the whole "strong over skinny" thing. If I had to choose one to work towards, you better believe it's gonna be strong! ..Plus, weak girls can't pick up a beer, the poor things... :drinker: :bigsmile:

I completely agree that you have an amazing smile! You also seem like you'd be a lot of fun to hang out with. I'm not a guy, so I'm sure what I'm saying won't have the same weight as if some hot guy said it to you (let's be honest) but I do mean it! :smile: Personally, I don't like those threads. I'm not on MFP to be…

Mieka Sexsmith ........... A little "on the nose," but it could be worse! And yes, as a little girl I was embarassed to tell people the name of my street! :blushing: haha.

It was reeeeaaaallllllyyyy hard for the first cpl days, but like level 1 it gets easier! :) Stick with it!!! :bigsmile:

bump some of these.... I tell ya!

Hey everyone! I'm 25, 5'6, SW 147lbs, CW 135lbs, GW 130 or less with toning. I've lost 12 pounds and about 9 total inches in my first month here, so far! I'm always happy to have more friends, so feel free to add me (pls let me know you came across my profile here)! I'm on MFP pretty well all day everyday, haha...…

Geeeez, relax. She said she's only been doing this for a month. Starting off with smaller weights and a higher number of reps is a great way to go. "I suggest you pick up a book and start reading about" how to conduct yourself helpfully. This is not the "General Diet and Weight Loss Scrutiny/Attack" section. We're all…

I'd recommend weighing yourself periodically over the next cpl days, to see if that's the common number. If another number shows up multiple times, that is more likely your weight. Last week (almost a month in) I had gained two pounds from the previous week, but today I had lost those two pounds, plus one! Just take the…

This. I don't know much about the 5:2 diet, but I think it would be harder and less pleasant than doing a daily 1,380. I think you'd feel a bit sluggish on the first of 5 days, after 2 such low cal days. I'd personally probably end up with cravings on those two days, making it less likely for me to stick to it. Not to…
