I log on daily! Sending a request your way :) Anyone else who wants to add me... please do so!

ConCongratularions! You look wonderful :) and you're rockin' that haircut!

People tend towards finding people to be attention *kitten* if they "fish for compliments," so to speak. Aend, they're more than likely jealoua of your progress. I know the feeping, my friend is the same way... Give it time, people will notice when they notice and some will compliment you, but some wont.

Indeed.

What I meant by going over on calories nearly every day is my TDEE-20%. You can still lose weight going over your allotted calories that you have set for weight loss because you're still at a deficit--just a smaller one. Come to think of it, it was still a pretty stupid example to use, considering, but still.

I think 23lbs is actually pretty good. o: See, I didn't know metabolisms could adjust to constantly having different things thrown at them.

Very true. That just seems so weird to think of, though, because I was really surprised when I found out how big a cup actually was. It seems so small compared to what I thought it was. However, that is a really good point. I'm curious. I need to go find my measuring equipment now...

Oh. : / Well I'm sorry to hear that...

I have a question-- What's BC mean? Good luck to you. ♥

Oh gosh. I didn't mean to start something like this. :/ Sorry guys, I wasn't trying to be smug--it was an innocent question, but I could see how it could have come across as arrogant. I'm really sorry. Won't do it again. : /

Idk, it's just weird. Back when I tried to lose weight the first time, I exercised for a tad every day. At the same amount of calories, didn't eat my exercise calories back because they were so low. I lost at about half the rate I am now.

What just happened on the Recipes forum...? Haha. Love it!

"Jerks" initially come off as cool and very attractive. To the girl, there is no more depth to their personality until she begins to talk to him and get to know him. That's about the time I back off on the guy if he's an *kitten*. Although, I have been there. My ex was a major d-box. :/

Add a nice tall glass of glass and I'm in.

And, this. Talk to somebody.

What you need to do is force yourself to quit worrying so much. Learn to better eyeball your portions, but don't freak out. Go out for meals when you want or when it's just easier. I'm still in weight loss mode, and even I do that. As for the scale, hide it maybe? And only bring it out once in a great while to make sure…

"Applesaucemyass" :laugh: You're not skinny fat but if you're unsatisfied with your body I'd suggest lifting weights to tone and tighten your body, if that would make you happier. I'd die to have your current body, personally. :flowerforyou:

Gordon Ramsey, despite his age... ... He's quite handsome imo!

My best friend's boyfriend literally called me fat, flat out, to my face. My uncle, too. "My, Ashley, are you getting fat?" It was then that I decided I needed to lose weight... Although I'fe been called fat all my life.

Yeah, canned chicken. I blame my parents. I think I'm gonna make this... That sounds freaking delicious. xD

For me, several times a day! The fluctuations due to water, sodium, food intake, etc. fascinate me. :flowerforyou:

Ah... I'm 6 inches shorter than you and I don't really have all THAT much to lose. I do, however, know that at 135 I was able to fit into two sizes smaller in jeans and a size m in shirts! I'm more energetic as well, but I can't sleep for sheeeeit, but I've been that way for quite some time, so... BUT. Even the small…

18 5'4" (151 lbs as of yesterday :drinker: ) I have it set to 1200, but basically every day I go two or three hundred over that. I'm losing weight, so hey. I don't work out, besides the occasional trip to the beach/bike ride/walk with friends. :flowerforyou: I aim to be 125 lbs; I literally haven't weighed that much in 8…

Really? How rude are people that they ask if you've put ON weight? :grumble: That seems pretty b*tchy to me.

Personally, I trust my analogue. It gives me a pretty decent reading each time and if i weigh myself twice it's the same weight. Every digital scale I've ever used measures me differently each time I use it.

My mom was stretch mark free through both pregnancies. She was a twig before and after maintained much of her baby weight--but still not a single stretch mark! I envy her. My dad has some on his back, but I managed to get the bad end of the gene pool and I have them EVERYWHERE. If I ever have kids... *Shudders* I don't…

Threads like this = the reason why I love MFP. Personally, I think stomatotypes are a load of BS. Where's the logic in that? Everybody's body is different; however, some of you seem to want to classify EVERYBODY. ON. EARTH. into three different categories. As I just said, everyone is different. Some people may lose…

I wonder how many guys looked at this thread just because it said "half naked pics..." :flowerforyou: Anyways, great job on the weight loss! Your stomach, back, and booty look a lot better! :wink:

Definitely. It all depends on what food you have in your body, sodium & water retention, etc... Natural factors. That's why people tend to weigh once a week in the morning, because it offers the best guideline to how much weight you're actually losing. My weight fluctuates anywhere from 2-5 pounds a day. Nothing to fret…

I'm the exact opposite! The stationary bike is the only exercise I enjoy besides a real bike or swimming. :ohwell:
