I've been a dork/spaz/freak my entire life; I like comics (mostly Dark Horse, Vertigo, stuff like that), Schwarzenegger/ John Carpenter era/style action sci-fi, horror movies... I am currently a math major and thinking about minoring in space studies or geology because stars and dinosaurs are two of my favorite things;…

As for the rested sleep questions, I really found that when I incorporated the concept of a specific time window for eating (for me it's 2pm-9pm) my sleep really improved. I have a snack at midnight for the first time in a month and I totally regret it- I just felt icky and irritable all night. This is a tool some fasters…

5'2" 23 I think I have a medium-large frame for my height. SW:173.4 CW: 159; though this is from my home scale today, which I don't trust as much as the one at the rec center and therefor I don't use it to check-in. GW:110 I am doing 3:4 diet if anyone needs an fasting friend.

I used to spend my time seeing my friend s in the local punk, ska, and metal bands down here; I haven't seen a lot of "legit" bands lol My husband and I figured out we had been at the same Rancid concert before we knew each other.

I was born and raised in southern Illinois... my mom's parents were immigrants; Grandma was from Hungary and Grandpa was from Poland, and they got married and lived on the south side of Chicago. My dad is from central Indiana and his heritage is "black Irish" ( Spanish people living in Ireland ) and Pennsylvania Dutch…

Yup. My hubs always says "My favorite kind of boobs are the ones I'm allowed to touch".

5:2 is great, I do 3:4 most weeks and I love love love it. Sometimes I go over my expectations on non-fast days and I get on the scale the next day and I'm still the same weight or one or two tenths of a pound less. I've been putting out this article which explains the reasoning behind these fasting diets, and while there…

SWEEEEEEET! That's a great one. I've made it my goal to only check in once a week, but today is the first day my scale dipped down below 160. Wheee!

Agreed, he sounds like a good guy in that he will support you in whatever you do. Don't worry too much! If your boobs get smaller, guess what? Your waist is getting smaller, too! Proportionally you're most likely not going to have tiny boobs if yu didn't start out that way....although this is coming from a girl who used to…

Wow! Hope you feel better. Have you guys seen the... erm... "explosive" reviews for sugar-free haribo gummy bears? http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Gummy-Candy-Sugarless-5-Pound/product-reviews/B000EVQWKC

Really inspiring!! Thank you all; to me MFP is equal parts calorie counter and motivation booster, and it couldn't be the great tool it is without all of you and your hard work!
-
Wow! Awesome work! This thread is full of great successes and determination.

Not everything that is absorbed into the skin makes it to the bloodstream.Things that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream do not generally contain calories. Your other cosmetics do not have calories and sunscreen is not just floating around in your skin.

Classists, hating on those more fortunate than yourselves. Wheelers have problems, too!

You are such a success and I love seeing you post on the boards! I've lost a little over 10lbs this month on 3:4; here is an article that shows a scientific basis for the diet. It's incredibly simple on non-jargon-y. Also it's good science, and not just theoretical. I'm a numbers person and I don't go with anything on…
-
You are so awesome! I love your attitude and I really hope you get up to your goal weight a safely and soon as possible. Around the boards, you sometimes start reading a post about someone trying to lose weight and you're like "Holey cow! You can't possibly lose anymore weight without dying, WTF are you thinking?!" So…

Anyone hear about Skinny Puppy invoicing the US government because they found out their music was being used for torture at Guantanamo Bay? Not sure if I think that response is weak or awesome; I know Metallica sent a cease and desist when they found out the same.
-
Awesome! Keep up the hard work! I noticed this big time because I swim at the student rec center, and nothing motivates you to loose weight like sharing a pool with the swim team.
-
That's brilliant.
-
Nooo! I totally know that feeling. Maybe you cold make like a big pot of soup or casserole, or whatever your particular liking is, so that you have something you can immediately devour that doesn't leave you going "ok... how do I log 3 peanuts and 1/16 of a kielbasa (or whatever)?" Maybe knowing you have something tasty…

AAHAHAHAHAHA. Soooooo true.

Uuuugh, I have some very knowledgeable friends who are educated in Nutrition and work in the wellness department of a natural food store, and they seriously have to watch Dr. Oz even though he's a phony just to keep up with the demand he produces in people with too much time and money on their hands. One of my other…

BUMP. Keep up the great work!

You should check out the concept of intermittent fasting. What you described is pretty close to my general diet strategy. Just search "intermittent fasting", "5:2", "4:3", JUDDD, etc.

I guess so. I just joined a couple days ago and this is the first I've seen anyone posting.

I had a 60 degree curve and I think they got it in the range of high 30's to 40... It's still obvious to me, but no one else is watching me quickly switch profiles in the mirror. Unfortunately I have not had the time to travel 2.5 hours to see my specialist since 2008, either :/ If they recommend the surgery I can tell you…

I'm finishing my associates degree with two classes this summer; the ones I'm taking this summer are the only courses for my actual major (Calculus and Statistics). Math credits are probably different because there are very specific standards set at least by the state for what students have to learn :/ Basically what I'm…

Congratulations! Spinal pain is a big reason I am trying to loose weight as well- isn't it funny how sometimes when It hurts so bad you feel like you can't move are the times you need to move the most? If anyone needs friends with spinal issues, I had surgery in 2005 when I was 15 for scoliosis/ hyperkyphosis. So happy for…

Hi! I'm new to this particular group... I'm kind of in between 5:2 and every-other day; most weeks are 3:4, which I suppose is the same thing. Either way, it's really helping me loose weight, so I'm happy :)
