You know, I am right there with you. I have been struggling with the last 10lbs since Fall!!! During Winter Break (I work at a college) I didn't work out a single day and I basically ate whatever I wanted. That was for a whole 2 weeks. I lost a pound!! But then I gained two back the first week of January. Since then I have…

Pervy pm's generally come from pervs. I would like a sexy pm from a sexy guy. I would also like a million dollars ... Yeah, yeah. Keep dreamin', huh? :(

I struggle with an eating disorder and sometimes 1200 is a hard number for me to hit. Sometimes it's not!! I hate when "friends" give me grief for not eating more than 1200 calories. They say, "You'll lose weight if you eat more." No, I won't because I jacked my metabolism up from years of barely getting 600-800 calories a…

Wow! This actually makes me feel better. I gained all my weight because of a bad relationship, and, while I don't like that anyone else went through it, it's nice to see I'm not alone! I was at my healthiest when I met him, and things were good for about 8 months. Then he started cheating on me and abusing me emotionally.…

My initial goal was 135lbs (I'm 5'3"). This is what I weighed in high school. After high school and after I had a kid, I weighed, at my lowest--at which point I looked like I was on crack, 118lbs. I knew I needed to hit, at the highest, 135lbs, and not go to or lower than 118lbs. That gives me a lot of wiggle room!!! I'm…

I probably won't dress up for Halloween, but I am dressing up next weekend for a Zombie Walk (kinda like a festival thing with a zombie parade at night). My daughter and I want to dress up in a similar style so we're doing zombie school girls. This is what I have in mind:

FYI: I called the local blood center and was told the guidelines state that as long as the blood clot has been cleared up for 90 days and there have been no anti-coagulants taken within 90 days you're good to go! I had never planned on not asking someone official; I just wanted to get an idea before making that call. So,…

My genetic abnormality is some kind of number, like, A73745 (I mean, those aren't even close to the numbers, but it does start with an A ... lol). It doesn't have a "real" name. I wouldn't think there would be a risk of passing it on. It's not like I'm contagious. lol It's something you're born with. They're not even sure…

I'm currently enrolled in a Young Adult Literature class so I'm reading Divergent (and, no, I'm not cheating and watching the movie). I'll be starting The Kite Runner soon (in graphic novel form). For my own personal enjoyment, I'm re-reading Armand, a book from the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.

This is real. This is really real ... :brokenheart:

I'm 5'3" and my starting weight was 185lbs. That was pre-MFP. When I joined here it was 179lbs. I'm currently 143lbs. I gained 2lbs since my last check in on here. :ohwell: I've plateaued for a while now, and just recently started gaining a little. Diet and exercise has remained consistent so I'm not very happy about the…

With the way my day is going, I think a pervy PM would be a welcome distraction. Monday and I are at odds, to say the least. Any takers? :wink:

Go, you!!!

In all fairness, people might have body shots because they are proud of their achievements. This is, after all, a site dedicated to eating right and working out. I'm sure there's some that post body shots in hopes of attracting a certain kind of attention as well. I'm not concerned about the why; I'm more concerned about…

I do have a sneaking suspicion that if my profile picture showed more flesh, I'd get more pervy messages. I don't know why I think that, but *shrug* ... What do you all think? Does that matter? Has anyone changed their profile picture from a head shot to a body shot and gotten a reaction from the MFP crowd?

I apologize. I blame the use of that term on my inner nerd. :bigsmile:

Um, my experience with dating, that is; not my experience with pervy messages. So far no junk in any pervy messages. And, honestly, for that I am grateful. There's just something disturbing about too much manflesh on my computer screen. I'm not the type of girl that likes to SEE manflesh; I'd rather TOUCH manflesh. And…

Waiting until the fourth message is not like dating at all. If it's like dating, then the junk needs to make an appearance by at least the second message. That's been my experience anyhow ... :blushing:

Yes, but I'm no angel; I reciprocated. :devil:

I also have a job where I sit all day. So I started exercising at work. For example, when I go to the bathroom I'll do 15 squats before I pee and 15 after. Or I'll do 50 wall push ups. If you're making copies or standing somewhere talking to a co-worker, do some heel raises. Any little thing helps. Plus, it keeps you…

It seemed to take a while for people to comment on my weight loss too. At first it was, "Wow. You've been working really hard!" Then it was, "Oh, meet Crystal. She's our exercise queen!" Now it's, "Do you really need to lose anymore?" lol Which I do. I'm 10lbs away from my goal--and I may go a bit under that. It's like the…

I'm with some of the other posters .. going by all the playful threads I see, I'm sure there are plenty of single people who are ready and willing to jump in your boat. Hope it's a big boat ... Oh! Not that I'm saying size matters or anything. :)

#2 ... Nice!

For some reason my nonfat light Greek yogurt suddenly tastes like sawdust. I can't imagine why ...

Nice heels!! Sex-ah!!!!

My honest reason for wanting to lose weight mostly resides in the aesthetics. I want to be attractive, I want to go shopping and not stress out when I can't find anything nice in my size, I want to feel good about myself when in a public (or, heck, private) setting, I want to be as small on the outside as I feel on the…

10 ... Gotta give props to anyone holding a ... is that a crawfish? lol And you're rocking the booty pic. Good for you!!!

Pass! And run! Dude, you're big. You scare me. lol

Last November I was hospitalized for severe pneumonia that wouldn't respond to the antibiotics. It eventually developed in BOTH lungs. The day I was admitted, I told them that my (right) leg was hurting. The next morning they did an ultrasound and found a DVT (deep vein thrombosis--blood clot). So, I was like, "Well, you…

I average about 850 calories a day. This is frustrating because MFP keeps telling me my body will go into starvation mode. I KNOW this. I have struggled with anorexia all my life. Crazy thing is, I was eating LESS before joining MFP! My body really was in starvation mode and it was impossible for me to lose the weight I…
