I hate them. It's just indicative of a larger problem in our culture where men think they're entitled to women's bodies. I used to dread walking home from middle school when I was 12 years old because of getting honked at, yelled at, and getting rude/obscene gestures made at me. I like getting compliments. Actual,…

I think they're using the appendices as well as Tolkein's personal notes (appendices for sure--the notes is speculation based on the statement they released last week). I'm super exicted!

I love LOTR. Read the books 8 times, seen the movies more times than I can count, own the extended editions, etc, etc. I can't wait for the Hobbit, either! Did anyone else hear about how it MIGHT be a trilogy instead of just two movies??? *fangirls* I think we should know for sure by the end of this week or so.

I'm 22, still in school, live with my parents because I couldn't afford to do anything else. Currently I'm unemployed (just got back from studying abroad), so I'm job hunting but not making any money. When I do finally get a job, I'll only be able to work part-time (maybe 12-16 hours a week at most). I...well...I'm lucky…

I don't have any advice, unfortunately. I had a similar problem (though I'm not nearly as busty as many women in this thread). I'm actually hoping to keep most of my boobs--before I gained all my weight, my boobs were actually a bit too small for my body (I'm really tall with really big hips), so I'm hoping that they'll…

I love feeling like an Amazon. But to each her own. I once went on a date with a guy who was like 6'7" and I felt so TINY. It was the weirdest, most uncomfortable feeling ever. O_o

I'm 5'11". My boyfriend is 5'7". My ex was 5'4". I couldn't care less if a guy was shorter or taller than me. To me, the main factor in a man's attractiveness is his intelligence and sense of humor (no really--I don't have a specific "body type) that I go for. But it's different for all women. There is no ONE thing that…

I hate eating breakfast. If I eat too soon after I wake up, I get sick. Generally, I have to wait about two to three hours to eat after waking. The only time I force myself to eat in the morning is if I'm traveling and headed out for the day (I'll grab an espresso and a croissant). Other than that, I don't eat breakfast.…

I would love to do this, but BBT doesn't air in the country in which I am currently living. :( Maybe I could watch it online and pause it during the commercial breaks for like 3 minutes to get in on the challenge action.

This is my baby, Mister, with my parents' dog, Monty. And this is the fat cat, Milo, who is adorable, but sometimes annoying. :) Will hopefully post some more recent ones later. Yay! Cats!! I miss my kitties like nothing else--I'm studying abroad this semester and won't get to cuddle them for six months. :(

I looked through a couple days of your food diary, and while I'm no expert, I don't see that you're doing anything "wrong" per se. The only thing I can think of as to why you'd be gaining weight instead of losing would be if you're gaining muscle. Especially if you went from pretty sedentary to pretty active, your body…

Personally, I use whey protein after my workouts to help build lean muscle. Other than that, I try to use lean meats and cheese to get my protein in my regular diet.

I lovelovelove the Biggest Loser videos. They always motivate me really well and have every level from beginner to advanced in the same DVD--they always are making sure there are ways to make it low impact as well as more challenging to accommodate anyone doing it.

Bring it on! :D

A little late checking this, but I'll do my best to finish up the rest of the week. Whoops....

I second the "wear larger pants". You won't get muffin top if you wear pants that fit you correctly (I have this problem all the time.) To get rid of the fat there--cardio and more cardio, plus tummy toning workouts to tone the muscle that's underneath. You really do need to up the cardio (and watch your eating) to get rid…

That's awesome! I'm terrified of losing my boobs instead of all the other fat that needs to go. This just gave me some hope that maybe they'll stay where they are. :) Congrats!! There's nothing better than properly placed breasts! xD

Ohh, just as I was about to go get breakfast, I check the challenge. Fortunately, I'm on target! Eating breakfast on the days I work early in the morning is never a problem... it's those days that I don't work or work later that I tend to skip.

This has not been a good week for cals for me--I lost my grandma on Monday and it's been emotional eating (or undereating) ever since. But I've decided to kick my butt into gear for these last few days to get back on track. Squats haven't been too much of a problem since I can do them when I get bored at work. MON –Squats:…

Oh, hello bandwagon!! I <3 squats. I even do them when I'm just standing around at work.

I already knew about fast food salads and McDonald's oatmeal, but every time I hear it I go O_O What ever happened to punishing companies who falsely advertise their products??

I'm a LARPing geek! I also love fantasy novels and movies, but I don't know if I totally qualify as a "geek" for those things... I'm kind of a closet geek. xD

I fell WAY off the wagon last week. Definitely looking forward to this challenge!

I think tricep kickbacks will help tone the muscle there. Basically, pull your elbow back behind your back (think chicken wings, but with your elbow pointing directly behind you), with your arm bent (so that your hand is next to your ribcage-ish area). Then, slowly straighten your arm so that your hand is pointing directly…
