Right here! I'm trying to lose at least 10 pounds by my wedding in July. I guess I don't really mind the weight per se, rather than look good in my dress. I'm at a healthy BMI, but I want to be fit and toned. Right now I'm just flabby... not so great. Feel free to add me!

Regarding #1 - Science cannot prove that something does not exist if there is no evidence for it existing in the first place... The burden of proof is not on science. You could argue the same with an invisible unicorn. However, the claims in several religious books have been proven to be either false or metaphorical at…

I don't know but I do know that we have circadian rhythms and our bodies are meant to work within a specific and certain timing (it's all in our genes). It all has to do with hormones and other metabolic means of communication within the body. So, if it works, then why not?

34 B can also be "super gorgeous" ... :grumble: To OP: Just love who you are, be proud of such an accomplishment (30lb is A LOT!), and I'm sure that you look great now anyway! :smile:

I think most people here are adding their opinions on if they should have a big wedding or not and why, but that isn't the question. The question is if she should still consider this man who will not even compromise to do things her way for just one day as someone she should marry. I think if this is something she had…

Working in an OCD clinic, you guys are all looking like good potentials.... hmmmm. I just flush with my hand, wash my hands, and don't care about the rest. Life's too short to be so anal.

BUMP!! These are hilarious!

I have a flashy fawn boxer! Cutest thing in the world :D

I'm so in! I am going to be a bridesmaid at a wedding right around St Patrick's, so I need to love this weight! Age: 22 Height: 5' 4" CW: 136 GW: 115 - 120

*momentum. Sorry, it just irked me and my true nature is being a grammar nazi. As for the actual topic, I would say just stay under the calorie goal and you should lose weight, just not as easily or fast.

I guess I'm the same way. I just get busy with school and spend more time with my boyfriend by default, and it's sometimes more work to try to get together with friends than to sit at home and watch tv lol

I think I might be the only person in the world who drinks a whole cup of 2% milk with just two teaspoons of instant coffee and one of sugar. I can't stand coffee, it gives me heartburn, and I am very sensitive to it (gives me the shakes), so I only drink it when I need the caffeine (finals week, like right now). So I…

One picture she took of herself on the mirror, and the other someone took of her, so they are the same tattoos but mirrored (due to the mirror picture) OP, I do see the difference in your abs! Way to go!

Exactly. I would never say anything to someone even if they were close friends, only if I knew for sure that they were trying to lose weight.

I'm 5'4" and currently weight 133 and I'm a size 6, so if you get to 130 you'll definitely be under an 8. My goal size is 125, although at this plateau I would cry of joy if I got to 130

I like dress #1 or the dress you have on in your profile picture :]

^^ THIS PLEASE go to a different physician as soon as possible. Not having a bowel movement in that amount of time should concern you, but most importantly, if you can "see" your bowel protruding that should be extremely alarming to you! In fact, you should probably get off the internet on health issues like these and go…

Same here and I hate that song :grumble:

You're on the wrong thread, sweetie. Read the title, maybe? Cats suck because only a few of them can show genuine affection and love for their owners; because they scratch and bite, even if they "love" you; because you can't train something that stubborn; because they like to lay in the most annoying places; because they…

Obviously because they're not dogs :D

My dog is registered with the AKC under Cole of Duty (yeah, after call of duty, the game ^_^ ) but we call him Cole.

Yeah, I usually weight 2 pounds less in the morning than at night after working out.

*hugs* That is a terrible thing to hear but I'm glad he was honest with you so that you could realize the problem. So here's to new changes and a better life :drinker:

Water bottles. One has roughly two cups. Take two with you to work/school/etc and then have one when you get back, and one with dinner. There's my 8 cups per day.

Ok, not to beat a dead horse or anything but here it is directly from the Invisible Children website regarding every point they've been criticized: http://s3.amazonaws.com/www.invisiblechildren.com/critiques.html

As much as I love memes, this is incredibly distasteful and ill-mannered. I'm sorry you feel this way about an opportunity to bring light to an issue that has been going on for decades in the dark, and to unite different nations to actually make a difference in children's lives, but I do hope you realize not everything in…

It has two stars in ACCOUNTABILITY and transparency because they only have 4 board members, not 5. A charity can't have such a small number of board members to decide its actions. Don't take my word for it, here is a much better source of information than, oh say, reddit, tumblr, or all those other PERSONAL BLOGGING sites…

"I see at least two factually inaccurate claims in this posting already. This article claims Chris Blattman called the charity "misleading, naive, maybe even dangerous" on his blog. Read the blog that has been linked to here. That's not what it says. The statement is that the "savior attitude" and the idea of saving Africa…
