Very well said. It doesn't matter how your weight is defined, so long as you are still losing it. Happiness is only 70 pounds away now! (Instead of 120). So congrats on the progress!

"Well, I go always backwards when I'm backing up." "I do not know this man." -- Rooster Cogburn, True Grit (the remake) And several others from that movie lol

I very much enjoy lentils&rice with pico de gio or salsa. Excellent fiber (and protein and vegetable) intake, low-calorie, and super tasty! I'll have to get you the recipe tomorrow, when I'm not an insomnizombie XD

"I've been on a diet for 2 weeks, and all I've lost is 14 days." -- from Grandma's latest refrigerator magnet. Ahahaha just thought it was funny enough to share. I know I've been there before anyway.

"My favorite colohr iz light tan. My animahl iz poohpies." Couldn't resist :P My song of the day: ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keOa5U8XqSg Sorry, I'm kinda in a melancholy mood ^^;

Love your motivational-stickys--awesome idea! I do like wimapple said, drink lots of hot tea and "water with lemon juice" with a less than a tablespoon of stevia (which I much prefer to the taste of nutrisweet or splenda). Hot soup (especially broth-based instead of cream-based) is great because it makes you feel full when…

Nah, didn't mean "sugar-defensive" literally. And I've been diagnosed as insulin-resistant. Next step down (if things don't change soon) is full-on diabetes. Never heard that "sugar is sugar." But peach versus ice cream is more about the *amount* of sugar grams for me. Your standard peach is gonna have 11 grams of sugar.…

LOL okay, no "Paynts-on-the-Grouwnd" challenges :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoAMWnnz98w

Wow PhD already! What's it gonna be in, if you don't mind saying?

I am disturbed by the distinct lack of kitten-snuggling in these challenges. Just kidding :P I do like these. Particularly the "calorie-burn" challenge. And it does make great sense that body-fat percentage challenge be monthly. (I wouldn't see much of a change *unless* it was monthly and even then, who knows lol).

Favorite Disney movie song hands down lol

Who can make a spoon stick to their nose the longest while doing jumping-jacks. Who can hold their breath the longest while doing planks. Who can do the most lunges with their pants around their ankles (pictures or it didn't happen). Sorry, I don't have any ideas. XD What do challenges normally entail? Is it more stuff…

LOL Heltailin, you when you said bubbly, you weren't kidding. Thanks for the link. But I may have to find someone who doesn't make me laugh so hard that I can't do the routine. XD Haha Carmen, no need to be jealous of me. He made fun of me the entire time. That meanie! Ah, but it's all in good fun I suppose. :) Thanks for…

Thanks for the tips! Since I already eat excess protein (I love fish and chicken breast), crunchy vegetables, and soup and chew gum, it seems like there's nothing else to do but buckle down and deal with it. (Which I figured as much haha) Over the last couple of days, I have discovered a solution. Well, an additional…

lol Jonny dat asparagus. You would think it was like crack or something.

I am sick of feeling hungry!!! I don't remember it ever being this bad starting out :( I've tried leafy greens, fibrous foods, oatmeal, hot beverages, frozen foods, overdosing on water--nothing works. Even after a large meal (800 calories or more), I'm hungry no more than 30 minutes later. And it makes me angry because I…

My brother is going to be my personal trainer haha. He's been wanting someone to join him at the gym for the longest time XD Well, can't say how good I'll be at "pumping iron." But unless I give it a try, I won't know what does and does not work for me. I'm sure it'll be mostly weight machines rather than free weights. If…

Age 22 Height 5'5" Starting weight: 260 Current weight: 240 Desired weight: 130 Long Term Goals: Lose 110 pounds Incorporate at least 2 servings of vegetables into every meal Incorporate at least 2 full body muscular exercise routines into every week Do all that in order to have better blood chemistry and a stronger,…

May I join as well? Extra motivation is always a plus ;) Edit: Ah, just read the challenge is closed. Nevermind then. Maybe next time.

Age: 22 Gender: Female Height: 5'5" Frame: ? How am I supposed to figure that out? XD Highest: 260 lbs. Current: 235 lbs. Goal: 130 lbs. Weight to lose: 105 lbs. I've always been heavy, even as a kid, so I don't really know my lightest as an "adult" either...I would guess 170 though?

I think I sensed someone mention Pikachu XD One of my favorites now is Totoro. Which is weird since he used to scare me as a child. Scary right? Followed by Felix the Cat and Homestarrunner haha!

I certainly don't agree with the "eat more to lose more" argument. But I'd be worried about the wear and tear on my joints if I were you. I know you said you're feeling great now--that's excellent! So as long as this method is short-term and you switch to another program to maintain your goal, all should be well. Congrats…

Sadly, yes. When I feel tempted to binge, I immediately go do either something entertaining that I love or something that relieves stress (whichever the occasion calls for). But that all starts with asking myself "why" I feel the need to binge. I found that when I take time to question myself, I also take control of the…
