Oh gosh, I need these, too.

You know, my biggest issue is finding excuses to use my favorite gifs. Like I have a huge stack of Capaldi and Baker gifs, but I couldn't think of a good way to tie them all in.

Like, twenty minutes, haha. I've done it a few times...

Couldn't add you either, but you're welcome to send me a FR.

I'm from Sioux Falls! Honestly I nearly fell over when I saw this post, because as far as I can tell, there's like... no one else from SD around here. Or no one I can find who's active, anyhow. But I'll give you fair warning - I'm a huge geek, and I mostly talk about Marvel stuff and Doctor Who when I'm not getting into…

I sleep better when I work out early as opposed to later in the day. When I was working out after dinner, I had a terrible time getting a good quality sleep. Also, I like working out on an empty stomach. Food in my belly while I'm doing intense cardio tends to make me feel ill, so mornings are just practical for me.

I've been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism for fifteen years, and as long as I take my medication as directed I don't have any issues. In fact, I've decreased my medication levels since changing to a healthier lifestyle. If it's particularly difficult for you, find an Endo who can help find a solution that works for you.

If you're willing to change your routine, it can be very helpful. Knowing how much I move is allowing me to eat more is incredibly motivating. And if you play Pokemon Go.... catching pokemon becomes a workout. ;) I did 24k steps the other day running around with friends playing, and wound up with more calories than I could…

Watch Doctor Who, (The reboot, start with Season 1 Episode 1 "Rose" and never look back,) Daredevil (Netflix only,) and Jessica Jones. (Also Netflix exclusive.)

I had mine out, but it didn't do anything for my weight. A lot of people lose weight simply due to the fact that for a few years, high-fat foods (peanut butter, or creamy salad dressing to name a couple) can agitate your stomach because you no longer have a place to store excess fat. It was YEARS before I could have PB…

Have you heard about the Hogwarts challenge? I have a good friend who's part of running it. I think the slots are all full this term, but you can keep an eye on it for next term! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10304073/hogwarts-weight-loss-challenge-eighth-term#latest ((Also, y'all are welcome to add me.…

Best advice: Get a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) with a chest strap - the ones that are just a watch aren't accurate - and wear it during cardio. It won't help you if you're lifting, but for things like running it's accurate. (I recommend the Polar FT4. But that's just me.)

The best advice I have is to stock your freezer with prepared meals you can just pop in the oven. I used to fill little disposable trays with meat and veggies I liked, sprinkle on seasoning, and store them in my freezer when my husband was deployed to make sure I didn't cave in and get fast food every night. It took maybe…

I won't add you, because unless you don't mind a TOTAL geek, you'll probably hate me. But I promise I chat with my friends, and you're welcome to add me!

Yeah, but there doesn't seem to be any takers this time around. Maybe I'll try again in a few months. :)

That's 10lbs a month, which is unlikely. Experts agree that 2 lbs a week is safe, but the smaller you get, the harder it gets to lose each week. And you're going to have weeks where you don't lose anything at all - we all do, from time to time. And seeing as it's for your wedding, you don't want to be losing a lot of hair…

I've been on levothyroxine for twelve years, and it works wonderfully for me. But then, my "natural" levels are just plain crazy, so there's a huge difference between when I take it and when I don't. BUT. Since eating better and getting plenty of exercise, my thyroid has improved significantly. I've dropped down from a 225…

If it does time travel too... take me with you.

*clears throat* I could swear I heard the sound of someone mentioning Doctor Who all the way from my personal feed. ((Also Marvel everything, and Star Wars, and MMOs, and Firefly, and board games... do I need to continue?)

I'm an Army wife of ten years this month. We've been through deployments, and training, and all sorts of nonsense, so I totally get it. His very first deployment, he was gone for 15 months. It's not easy! But the thing that helped me the most was taking a martial arts class. It allowed me to interact with other people a…

5 years of Taekwondo, 6-ish of karate that was loosely based on kempo. No current dojo because nothing here in Sioux Falls has impressed me - I'm an army wife so we move ALL the time - but I keep in practice on my own. As a warning, if you add me...... I'm a geek. A huge, Star Wars loving, Doctor Who obsessing,…

Army wife! Used to be CavScout at Ft. Carson, now the husband is a recruiter out in SD. One kid. No base. Feels like Civilian life sometimes these days.

Karate 1 kyu, taekwondo bo dan. Kendo experience as well, knowing 7 katas (but my basics are really pretty bad, if I'm honest. We had a rather nontraditional training.) All told I have 12 years of experience... if I wasn't married to an Army man, I might even have a couple black belts by now. :P But I'm not really worried…

I've tried to stick with SWTOR. I really have. I'm a huge MMO gamer, and the story is good in SWTOR. But.... I dunno. Something about it - I get bored after a few months back, every single time. My husband still plays though!

:o I do all sorts of geekiness. Star Wars, Doctor Who... anything Marvel... ((Jessica Jones is about to come out!!)) I'm sending a FR, and invite anyone to toss me one as well. :)

I'm a sci-fi/fantasy book worm! Mercedes Lackey, Orson Scott Card, Tamora Pierce...! Oh, and a geek in general. Doctor Who is the big one. Star Wars, too - have you guys read any of the new books? Nothing holds up to the magnificence of the OLD-old stuff, (such as the X-Wing series or Young Jedi Knights,) but it's.... not…

And just in honor of the announcement NASA made today about running water found on Mars...
