The sugar tracker on here gets on my nerves a little. I'm consistently "over" my goal on sugars, but I rarely have anything with refined or added sugar. Most of my sugar comes from fruit and dairy products, etc. I wish these didn't count the same as sugar from candy or soda. It doesn't seem right to me... Does anyone have…

My boobs... have disappeared. I am tiny and pear-shaped... so when I gain weight, my boobs don't! In fact, they look smaller! I am going to get back in shape so that the rest of my body is proportional to my chest. I don't mind having small boobs... I just don't want my stomach sticking out farther than them. lol The…

I need more lady friends in my support group! Adding! (Anyone else is free to add me too if you wish!)

Coconut water and milk are great for hydration btw! And goes great with coffee! However, it is also a diuretic so too much again could end up dehydrating you. Pay attention to your body signals. Headaches, the runs, fatigue, and even hunger pangs could mean you are dehydrated. And of course... Thirst is the best indicator!…

Absolutely. It is water plus coffee beans. Therefore it is still water. Yes caffeine dehydrates you. So does salt and alcohol.... But you are consuming more water than caffeine in a couple cups of coffee so I think it is still doing more to hydrate you than dehydrate you... I'm sure there is some fancy math involved where…

Well I put on about twenty pounds when I left my active job, lost a loved one, moved back home and was pretty depressed. I'm now working an office job and sitting all day... So I just got to get my mind back in the right place. I guess it was grieving the loss of my former lifestyle friends and passions that I packed on…

Best answer. lol!

It's hard to judge because you don't know what other people's goals are. If an 80 year old were doing it, it probably wouldn't seem so odd right? Maybe people think better while walking/moving (I know I do!) Maybe they are nursing an injury. Maybe they are cramming nonstop for that exam tomorrow... If your goal is to push…

I log everything like I'm crazy or something... but it's more because I find it fun I guess. lol (yeah, like I said. crazy!) But I know there are some things that I can't possibly log exactly, so I don't let it mess up my whole day/week/life. Besides, some calories are better than others. Even if you are consistently over…

Yay! More nerds! I like videogames (all consoles and PC), 90s cartoons, popculture, subculture, conventions and gatherings of all kinds... artsy stuff... Sorry for the vagueness, but anyone is free to add me if they please based on this little blurb! =D

I need to add you because of your screen name! lol!!! <3

Convention geek here. I've been to just about every kind of subcultural, popcultural, nerd-tastic convention under the sun and have traveled all over the USA for them. (Guess you can call me a geek seeker!) Not gonna list all my "geek cred" here, but I love me some videogames, Japanese music, and 90s cartoons. Friend me if…

That one song by Taylor Swift. Wait... you mean she has more that one song? They all sound the same to me!!

I love collecting different style robes that tie at the waist. Light jersey or silk in the summer, big fluffy bathrobes in the winter!

Oh, also the more time you spend measuring and thinking about and logging your food, the more likely you are to remember and fully realize what you have eaten already = you are less likely to just down something quickly and forget about it an hour later. It kind of lingers in your subconcious more. Same goes for spending…

Well it helps to be specific if you are like most the American population that doesn't recognize healthy portion sizes anymore. But like others have said, after you do it a few times, you get the hang of just eyeballing how much 3 oz of meat is, a cup of cereal, a "small" apple, etc, etc. Also, there is nothing wrong with…

Hot, for the great smile!

You might not see results, but you will definitely FEEL them. Remember, exercise has a plethora of benefits besides just improving your physique. Try focusing on your energy levels, and your moods, and measure those results as well. Those should be the first changes you notice. Use those to motivate yourself and reassure…

I'm addicted to Starbucks and similar coffee shops. =( Maybe that's more unhealthy for my budget than my body though. lol

There are a lot of little quirks I've noticed about MFP that I think could be changed to be more user friendly or supportive. =\ Is there a place we can make suggestions, I wonder?

NO WAIT. It was The Hobbit opening night. Good times with a big group of friends!

I don't quite remember... I think it was Wreck it Ralph! (Such an adorable and geeky movie!)

I think it helps to curb hunger and cravings, which helps prevent over eating or snacking on things you shouldn't. Also, keeps your metabolism steady. you absolutely can substitute a meal with a shake or something small like a piece or fruit, or yogurt cup. The key thing about the 5 meal a day thing, is that they are SMALL…

These are all good tips. You can also try breathing rhythmically with each step to make sure you're taking deep enough breaths/getting enough oxygen. Breathe in through your nose when your right foot goes down, keep breathing in when your left goes down, and when the right goes down again, exhale through your mouth,…

Yay! Thanks, my new friends!! o(^ -- ^)o

Adorable shirt! I love the print.

I think that's what social media, and MFP, can be good for! Just remember, its part of the human condition to feel alone, and that is why we are never alone. We all feel the same emotions at some time. Next time you feel down, (night time is always the worst) make a cup of tea and try focusing on only positive memories, or…

Long, dark, flowing hair <3

Be flattered, and ask why he hasn't asked me to dinner yet? ;)

Hey there! I'm new and could use some supportive friends. :) Let's help each other out!
