@ Doodlewopper -- Great post. I had the emotional knee jerk reaction. :)

@Madholm---- YOU ARE A FIRST CLASS A**HOLE WHO SHOULDN'T SPEAK TO SITUATIONS YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH FIRST HAND I am a Katrina survivor. And let me be clear: Yes, I evacuated.(returned 24 hrs post storm) No, my home wasn't washed away. Never the less... it was emotionally devastating. Just because it didn't happen…

I am in this bracket. Feel free to add me.

We all wish it could just FALL right off. Unfortunately it just doesn't happen that way. This may sound a bit kooky, but try thinking of your extra pounds like gold (and watch that silly miner show on TLC..Discovery (what ever channel it comes on)). They dig these HUGE trenches for these little bitty flecks of gold, they…

Every one has had encouraging words for you. Please do not take what I am about to say in the wrong context. I want nothing but to encourage you too. You are AFRAID and you are allowing that fear to control you. The hard question: Are you afraid of failing or succeeding? Failing is easy, at some point you come to expect it…

Research! According to the research I have done, it's easier to get hired for a job if you already have a job. Employers see a gap in employment and see red flags. From experience (my own): I temped for a while hoping to find something in my field. Potential employers see long term temping the same as "unemployment". I am…

Wow! Kinda looks like you may have formed your own "clique". Wait...isn't that what you were whining about???? I'm not digging back through all this crap to quote where I originally said that none of this should mean enough to anyone to get serious about and that you should analyze your own behavior instead of complaining…

Seriously though, the street lights are on. Your mother wants you to come in now and wash up for dinner.

I didn't "say" you were disgusting, I merely re-posted a definition of a word. I could have easily been leaning more toward the "aversion through excess" which is how YOU described your hairiness. How you chose to take it was up to you. As for my "limited perspectives", this is text, there is no inflection, no body…

You might wanna break out a dictionary.

When it suits me.

Smarter than you Check Again: Every action causes a consequence. I figured there was a chance you wouldn't like my posts and I am willing to accept that consequence. You'll wrap your head around it eventually.

I think I see why you were run off from the other forum by the bad "cliquey" people. I have to admit that editing my post to serve a very nasty and derrogatory self motivated purpose kinda pisses me off. But since we are going there..... Your cat head and duck feet are a very sensual combination that speaks directly to the…

I am incredibly bored at work today, and admittedly, I have been very well entertained by this thread.

Guessing you've never been to a backyard bar-b-que in the hood. You're silly, I like you.

Clique means gang. According to Wikipedia A gang is a group of recurrently associating individuals or close friends with identifiable leadership and internal organization, identifying with or claiming control over territory in a community, and engaging either individually or collectively in violent or other forms of…

OH SNAP!!! I musta missed something.

ZOMG!!!!!! You said it with more style than I did. 100% truth. Great post by the way :P

I have found this post hilarious, and while some of the comments have been funny and others a bit tart, I can't help but wonder about the philosophical aspects at work here. I have not encountered cliquishness on this site, but with that being said, I have only added six or so highly motivated positive people as friends.…

I'm with BACON....does that pigeon hole me into a "clique"

Um, if you were attacked via PM (Private Message) then how did the "mutual" friend even know about the event unless you discussed it with them? You may not have told that person directly to make a choice, but you certainly INFLUENCED a choice. The PM'er chose to take an issue up directly with you, you chose to involve the…

Mostly, it's been said already. You are only as heavy as your last meal. Just because you ate 300 cals less doesn't mean you didn't eat the bulk of your calories later in the day, which would result in a "heavier" scale. You also have to take into consideration what your weigh in habits are. Most of us, rather consciencely…

Feel free to add me. Age is a number and the only numbers that count here are calories :)

What "she" said....literally. I started out with WW. It is GREAT, especially if you are feeling overwhelmed and your self esteem has taken on all the best MMA fighters and lost. I had been wallowing in the I'm dieting and not losing weight pool and had begun to feel overwhelmed with all the information out there, so I went…

Oh, so true. I haven't been here long, and haven't knowingly lost weight yet. (Discovered my scale batteries were low which meant it was telling me some really wild lies.) Being aware of what you eat and what you do is important. Feel free to add me and good luck. :)

Sounds like you are hitting plateau and adding more muscle. Give it a few weeks. If you don't start seeing a loss try redoing the BMR calculator and adjusting your calories (which doesn't always mean you need to eat less, sometimes you need to eat more). Don't be frustrated. Veiw it as a body change that you need to listen…

Recommendation - if it looks like fun...Try it. Invest in a trainer. Three sessions aught to do it. Explain to the trainer during the interview that you've never done strength training. He/she should immediately focus on telling you how they will teach you proper techniques vs. how many muscle groups to hit and when.…
