Once upon a time, there was a man who spent a week trying to figure out the perfect username. A name that would perfectly capture his clever and whimsical nature, while at the same time letting the world know that he can mean business when he needs to. But alas, such a name did not exist. Rather than tear apart the English…

My next NSV goal is to be able to run a particular trail by my apartment. It's no big thing, but it's about 3 miles. So far I can get about 3/4 the way before I start feeling overexerted. I'm hoping by the end of May I'll get there!

What I've found to be the biggest help is setting up new reward systems in my life in order to get my emotional needs met without overeating. I have a big problem with food, and it stems a lot from feelings of worthlessness and being judged. So I've looked for things that make me feel worthwhile, like riding my bike…

I've never done this, nor do I think I ever will, but I know that some people will trade out their office chairs for exercise balls.

I'm 24 and from Texas. I'm on a new friends kick right now, so if you want to kick it with me, throw me a FR!

Unfortunately, yes it does cause weight gain. It's basically pure sugar and empty calories. A lot of people find that cutting out soda can lead to a pretty healthy weight loss. Personally, I still drink one or two a week, but some will curse you and tell you to cast out the devil water. I'd work on scaling back before you…

That's a rough situation to be in. It seems reasonable for you to feel hurt. It may be wise for you to examine what it is about this relationship that keeps you in it. If you feel loved and supported (which it sounds like you don't), then stay in it and do the necessary work; if you feel beaten down and believe that you…

One time my friends and I decided to challenge ourselves to name all 50 states. I got to 47 and couldn't figure out which ones were missing. 30 minutes and an intense study of a map later, I found out that I had listed the number 35 3 times...

In my own experience, as long as you're actually doing something and not wasting space (Like sitting on a weight bench just to chill.) then no one really cares. That said, there tends to be this air of "expertise" in gyms for me. I'll go in and feel like everyone else knows what they're doing and I don't; I start feeling…

Too much of a good thing...is an amazing thing.

I'm usually on when I have breaks. I find it's more active during the day than in the evening.
-
Now I want to get some PB Oreos and coat them in Nutella... I will eat them in the closet with the lights off, quietly weeping tears of mixed joy and shame...
-
If I were to be perfectly honest, my main reason for wanting to lose weight is because I want to be able to walk around without a shirt on. I have pretty low self-esteem as a result of always being chunky, and I believe that If I can take that excuse away, I'll be able to look at myself more honestly.
-
I have an office, so I just close my door and do some squats or lunges. I try not to break too much of a sweat though, because then I would have to explain it...
-
I'm sorry that you aren't losing it as quickly as you want to. I know that in my experience, sometimes it takes a little while for your body to catch up with what you're doing. When I first started out I was 220, and I stayed there for about a month with consistent exercise and healthy eating, then it started dropping…

I turn 25 in August. Feel free to send me a FR. I try to be supportive, and am all about making new friends!
-
I hate having food babies! I usually feel lethargic and shameful when I let myself go that far overboard! (My "treat meals" as you call them tend to be in the 2-3000 calorie range...)
-
It can be very difficult to maintain a spot on the wagon. I lost 40 lbs in 2011, and gained 30 in 2012. I'm holding the line at 200 lbs right now, but with the right plan, the right support, and the right attitude, it's possible to get back to where you want to be! All the best!
-
Depending on my level of participation, I will either log my binge and shame myself into improvement, or I'll just say "I'll start again tomorrow." and shame eat a whole pizza. This tends to go on for several days in a row...Sometimes weeks.
-
It's an issue that never gets any easier, I'm given to understand. I have an issue with living in the future (like saying that I will start working out more when I graduate), so what helps me with that is concentrating on what will benefit me now. I believe that it is a very common theme in this stage of life to get mixed…

Wigglytuff on the other hand... My lineup was always Charizard, Zapdos, Mewtwo, (Kadabra until I got him), Articuno, Lapras (or Blastoise if I could trade with someone), and Nidoking (I just thought he looked cool)
-
My biggest craving is usually a second helping. My wife and I usually compensate for that by only making enough for one serving each. Beyond that, it would be sugar. It's a tough one to beat. Especially because I have so many delicious dessert recipes that are NOT calorie friendly... Drinking water helps. Or I'll eat a…

It definitely sounds like depression. Before you just drop him, it may be beneficial to have a conversation with him about what is going on. If he's on his computer all day, it likely is a way to escape his harsh reality. I've been there. He may sense that you've checked out and is insulating himself so that when you do it…
-
These kids today don't know how good they have it! We were glad to have those 151! Worst part was when all your friends had Red version, because Charizard is so much cooler than Blastoise, so you could never get all of them...These days you can probably just download them!

This post reminds me of Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. "Investing" or paying attention to the less than fit girls so that when they are fit, they think the guy has a heart of gold. Then it. is. on! But as for me, the only girl I really pay much attention to at the gym is my wife.

It can be very disheartening when the scale doesn't do what you want it to do. Ultimately, it comes down to the way you think about your weight. Do you feel better, stronger, faster? If so, then screw the scale. Weight is just a measurement. The real progress comes from your health, not your weight.
-
Some bad habits are necessary. I think about that girl that can only eat chicken nuggets (blech...); but as a rule, moderation is the key. Yeah, you're probably never going to gain so much muscle that it stops your weight loss dead. Those tim I think that a lot of people don't like to tell someone something uncomfortable.…

So like a hashtag?

24 about to turn 25. I'm almost halfway gone! AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!111!1!1 But seriously, I'm trying to drop about 30-35 lbs. If you like being encouraging, feel free to add me! I've been trying to be more active in the online community! (Partly because I get to sit on my butt and feel like I'm accomplishing something.)
