I'd recommend: Full Metal Alchemist and FMA Brotherhood (same anime just a retelling) Samurai 7 Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate Trinity Blood <--could've been better but I'm still a fan of the characters Evangelion Gungrave Outlaw Star oh, and Trigun. ^_^

Ha! Already added you! :tongue:

Congrats on the 4 miles, that is a major accomplishment! And yes, that has happened to me too, I have given them the finger to let them know how little it means to me. Those kind of people are just shallow a-holes that feel they need to be skinny to be appreciated and loved which is REALLY sad. Deep down inside they…

When I lost weight the first time I got rid of everything. Gained a bunch of weight back (I know, terrible) and ended up having to buy a bunch of bigger clothes. Soooo not a good feeling. This time I am keeping all of my fatty mcfatterton clothes until I have proven to myself that I can carry on this healthier lifestyle…

:glasses: Hey Nerds/Geeks add me. Anime, scifi, super hero-loving geek here.

Vampire.. My profile pic says it all :wink:

Love, love, love these pictures! Everyone looks amazing. What a good indication that perseverance brings good things! Keep up the good work guys! :drinker:

Congratulations!!!:bigsmile:

I work Saturdays so today is actually my Thursday, lol. But I plan on being as lazy as possible on Sunday with the exception of getting in some walking on the treadmill. Hubby will be watching some football and doing schoolwork I'm sure. Hope you all have more exciting plans!:wink:

Being lazy and overeating.. a lot. I lost 90 lbs, looked great, felt great. Got lazy, started having pizza and treats every weekend then it became an every other day thing and eventually an every day thing. Bam! 100 lbs back on. Losing weight and keeping it off is a commitment and it isn't easy if you are used to eating…

Congratulations Dave on losing so much weight! Much luck to you in staying healthy and fit! Cheers! :drinker:

I'm also new and haven't seen any of the dating stuff and if I did, I would ignore it because I'm not here for that. I would just focus on those people who are here for actual weight loss help and ignore everything else. You can also block people that you find offensive, etc.

I love going to the conventions! I've been to Mega Con several times. Lots of fun to see all the anime and sci-fi costumes. I don't cosplay but I love to go there and take pictures of people who do. I've heard Dragon Con is pretty awesome.

Kellyb48, your bf sounds like he is intimidated by your weight loss and wanting to be healthy, that really is unfortunate. But its so cool that you and your mom are doing this together and are motivating each other. Sounds like a success story in the making! Cheers!:drinker:

Firstly, I would never have a friend who didn't believe in me and my abilities and who was always negative. People like that drag you down and don't add anything positive to your life. Sometimes, we as overweight individuals surround ourselves with people like this, sometimes due to self esteem issues or other issues that…

I wouldn't recommend it. The only way to lose weight, be healthy and keep the weight off is to eat plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats, unprocessed foods, drink plenty of water and exercise as much as your schedule allows. I don't see how a cereal alone (even if you are eating a full meal at dinner) is going to…

I have known people that swore by their "cheat days" as the saving grace for their diets. I haven't been as lucky. I have found that I can't have cheat days because I go overboard. I am actively trying to lose weight right now so I figure I will add a random cheat day here and there once I am at my goal weight. :happy:

Amazing post, thank you. Its nice to know that there are people out there giving a thumps up or giving admiration for those who push themselves every day. Made my day!
