I've lost a total of 50 lbs (40 before joining) and I really don't like it when people comment on my weight at all. I would rather they say I look happy and alive and glowing than "thinner." I had someone at work ask me what I did to "fix myself." I'm still 25 lbs away from my goal, and my one friend who has noticeably…

I'm in college, you can add me if you want c: in the mornings egg whites are really fast...or I mostly blend up something in my nutribullet.

hit on the waiter. whoops.

you look so fierce! great job! c:

Some of my favorite older childhood memories are of my mother and I doing exercise tapes together. We were both much bigger then and really, *really* bad at them. We'd have to pause the video every 2 minutes and catch out breath and guzzle water. We'd stub our toes on the furniture we hadn't quite managed to push far…

my ex liked me when I was 190 lbs, and my current boyfriend likes me at 141 lbs. I dumped my ex because I couldn't *truly* accept that he liked me because I hated myself so damn much. I hated myself because I let food control my life. I hated myself because I was obese and unhealthy and I couldn't climb up one single…

when my hands crack open and start bleeding :c

Back when I was living with my father he was constantly bringing home fast food, junk food, and baking sweets- all for me. He knew I was trying to lose weight (at the time I was almost 200 lbs) and had a lot to say about how "life is short" and "relax a little." My father was/is also a type 2 diabetic and had doctor's…

I log it because I don't allow myself to have any denial. Knowledge is power c:

I love Tiffany Rothe! c: http://www.youtube.com/user/TiffanyRotheWorkouts?feature=watch her...workouts?... aren't extreme/hardcore but they do get the blood flowing and I really like to dance and a lot of them incorporate dancing. I use the "bikini abs workout" as a warm up before I go running c:

yikes, you're really shortchanging yourself. you lost 22 kg...so that's like 46 pounds? only you know which decision is right for you, so i wish you luck on either way x

I juiced for a little while and it was a gigantic pain in my *kitten*. The juicer was expensive, 3/4ths of anything I juiced turned into this "pulp" that I could either jam my juicer with to try to get more juice out, or just throw away. The quantity of food "pulp" I threw away was ridiculous. With juicing, the juice you…

I love cashew butter! and you make it yourself!! (let the cashews sit in the fridge for 8 or so hours in water, you rinse them off a few times, and then put them in a food processor, thus creating the "butter"- there's also another way to make it w/out letting them sit in water. google both! c:) you can add seasonings and…

:heart: this thread reminded me that my vegetarian mama brought me home 1 lb of uncooked bacon yesterday. time to get cookin'! :heart:

WOOOOHOOOO!! That's great C:

Cheated on me with a dog

I prefer sunbutter that's made from sunflower seeds c: The one I use is 100 calories per tablespoon with 8 grams of fat, but ohmygod is it good. Some people don't know it exists, so I'm throwing it on the table.

I'm 20 :) you can add me if you like, i like your username c:

Woah, this is the first picture of food that actually looks appetizing! thanks c:

wow this mascara is 3 days old and it's still leaving dark raccoon circles under my eyes. impressive.

i'm seeing a lot of really great advice c: so i'll just add this: 1: don't let negative feelings about a recent binge bring you down. realize that it happened, it's in the past now, and then pick yourself right back up. 2: recognize what you're doing and feeling in the moment that you start to binge. (a little tougher if…

I grind my flax seed up (in a coffee bean grinder, lol) and it's not weird or grainy that way :) i would recommend you do this c:

Honestly, when I lost my first 40 lbs, i bought myself two mice and saved them from being snake food. It was fine for the first 14 hours or so. (0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND- MICE TRY TO ESCAPE THE CAGE 24/7 DUCT TAPE DOES NOT STOP THEM)

mooooonths old. only picture I had of myself where I was covering my face (i prefer to remain anon currently) when i joined MFP. i'm maybe 10 -15 lbs heavier in the pic.

ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod *runs to store to get ingredients* :love:

never let bread, or any food for that matter, make you feel guilty! I bet that homemade bread was absolutely delicious. Watching what you eat doesn't mean restricting yourself so much that you feel guilt and anxiety over eating certain foods. I'd say just use moderation and eat healthier foods most of the time. 1,200…

I went out to eat with my two best friends last night and my one friend recommended I try ~the salad! Grrrr! When I ordered my 1,000+ calorie meal she just kinda shook her head as if to say "pff, well I tried" and it just pissed me off so much! :explode: She's gained 20+ lbs and I haven't said anything about it because…

I watched it- love! Her whole demeanor changed at the end, too. Good for her :)

I've definitely gotten some really useful feedback. In no way am I allowing myself to stay hungry and in no way am I'm starving myself. Thank you all so much for reading & replying! (by the way, my raisin bread toast is the best right now, lol!)
