Alright, I'm in. I usually do 3-4 miles 5-7 days a week on the elliptical, so I'm aiming for 70 miles this month!

I'm judging you. Other people probably worked very hard to earn their final grade, while you took the easy route for a grade you didn't deserve. *** I'm ashamed for being judgmental (see above). I'm ashamed that I still procrastinate as much as I did in high school. I'm in grad school. I'm ashamed that I didn't exercise or…

I did the exact same thing, re-started about a month ago at my lifetime highest weight but have been more lax this time around. I'm down about 4-5 pounds, but it's slowed down lately. I'd be happy to be your friend :)

my excuses (I find myself still using them now, from time to time) -too tired/lazy to exercise -too busy to exercise (grad school and working) -don't have enough time with my boyfriend because we both work during the day and I have class at night, so whenever I have a free moment and he's home (we live together) I don't…

I just got Accu-measure calipers. Cheap plastic things from amazon and they are decently accurate, according to reviews I've seen. Just add 1-3% to your measurement.

Adderall is an amphetamine, so weight loss is a possible side effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall#Side_effects

Bf and I each got 10 wings at the pub last night. I ate 6 of mine, he ate 8 of his. Now we have 6 wings in the fridge for him to eat for dinner tonight. I'll also cut up some vegetables for both of us and have some tuna or eggs for myself. I love having the other half of my meal from a restaurant the next day, and if I'm…

I am going to preface this with the following: I'm not mean (at least I don't think I am), I'm just super awkward and if someone I don't know tries to make conversation with me, it just makes me uncomfortable and anxious. I wear headphones to prevent awkwardness, though pretty much everyone at my gym wears headphones as…

I'm guessing it's some wonky rounding. The stats for her country might be slightly higher than the stats for the world, but insignificant based on rounding.

Current Weight: BMI 23 Below Average Lower BMI than 78% of females aged 15-29 in my country (USA) Higher BMI than 59% of females aged 15-29 in the world Most similar to someone (female, 15-29) from Cape Verde. "If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 9,442,785 tonnes from the total weight of the…

Probably, yeah. Or at least self-absorbed. I'll go with true. TNP wants to get a puppy!

Sorry, sometimes the tone of a comment can be lost when it is only expressed via text. I didn't realize that these and other posts were meant in a humorous fashion, please forgive my misunderstanding. Further, thank you to these posts for providing information related to the issue:

Good lord, everyone saying that light must be from the fridge or must be light that contains excess calories, are you serious? There are more factors involved in issues like obesity than just self-control. Hormonal, psychological, and environmental factors play large parts. You wouldn't put all of the blame on someone who…

OP, that reminds me of earlier this week: I was at Popeye's getting fried chicken with my boyfriend (yes, it fit my daily calories), and the cashier was listing their fountain drinks. When she got to the diet soda, she said, "Diet coke, which you certainly don't need." I appreciate the compliment, but how do you think I'm…

I'm terrible about this - I try not to do it, but sometimes my non-dieting boyfriend asks me to estimate how many calories are in something.

I agree with everyone in this thread, but I had to quote this post for wine, chocolate and bread! I'd switch out the wine for beer, but otherwise I'm so with you :drinker: I'll add one that I don't think has been said (though I may have missed it) - don't eat out of boredom or procrastination. I'm not so much an emotional…

Oh man.... OP:

I was with you for the first part. Then you had to go and ruin it.

I agree with this post. OP, you are only seeing half of the problem. The other half is that low SES people live in low SES areas, where healthy food is difficult to access because the only sources of food in the area are fast food restaurants and corner stores, and even if the low SES people have a car (which is not…

5'3" and when I don't diet I hover around 130-135 pounds. Currently at 130. Soooooper pear-shaped, at 35-26-40. Pants size varies so damn much it's ridiculous. I can be anywhere from a 7 (juniors) to a 10 (womens) depending on the brand. Usually I'm about an 8-9 depending on if it's womens or juniors. EDIT: oh, and I'm…

This. There's a right way and a wrong way to use WW, and some people misuse it. I knew a girl who was very overweight, probably obese, and she would just eat like two pounds of strawberries, pineapple, bananas, and blueberries for dinner, saying it was worth 0 points and therefore she could eat garbage later. Fruit is…

the cause of cellulite is mainly genetic, but good hydration is key. That and decreasing BF% as others have said, but most of it will be out of your control. The skinniest and the most muscular women can still have plenty of cellulite, if it's in their genes. EDIT: I have tons of cellulite on the backs of my thighs. When I…

I agree with these posts. Bullying people for their weight is cruel and counterproductive, and "fat pride" seems to be a misnomer for the movement - if it's more about tying self-esteem to non-superficial aspects of oneself, then I agree with it wholeheartedly. That said, being overweight/obese can be very bad for one's…

I have about 10-15 pounds to lose, and I'm starting at a healthy weight. mfp has me at 1200 pre day as well, for a loss of 0.9 lbs per week. My method is usually to do cardio to bump the number up a bit, but also if I have a day when I don't have time for my workout, I just don't stress if I go over by 100-200 calories.…

It was good, but the pacing was rather poor. Loved the concepts and added character development. Nice to finally see Kitty being something other than the static homewrecker plot element she was in the original series.
