Popcorn! The kind that you buy in a bag or jar full of kernels. Any brand works. Either pop it in a pot on the stove or with an air popper. I never bother with microwave popcorn.

Hey, I'm an SLP! Are you thinking of working in public schools, or a different setting? I'm also nearly vegan except for eggs (I get them locally from the farmer's market). Mmmmm, scrambled eggs.

Hey, I'm vegetarian and a lover of tattoos, cats, and punk rock. I like walking at night, too, but my current neighborhood is super sketchy. Let's be friends!

I *really* like Euronorris' post. You should read it again if you've already read it. My two cents, which echo nearly everyone else here: Judging by your diary, you could really stand to drink more water. I cut diet soda two weeks ago and right now I only drink water, with the occasional V-8 Fusion (because I have part of…

Hi Rachel. :) I'm not in college anymore, but I do work at a school. :-P I've got a whole lot to lose, and I'm using my measurements as an indicator for now, since our scale is broken and I hate it anyway. I'm pretty new to this. Welcome!

Hiya! I'm pretty new here, but I'm trying to be diligent about logging everything. :)

Definitely a YAY! I plan on having more ink done once more of my student loans are paid off and I have more cash. Right now I only have one on my left shoulder of some stars, and a larger one with Celtic knotwork on my right upper arm. Husband has more than me, but he's also been alive for five years longer, so I have time…

This is actually a bit of a relief. My starting weight is similar to yours, and I'm in no financial position to replace a good part of my wardrobe. According to my aunt, it takes longer and more poundage to drop between larger sizes (e.g. size 22 to 20) and less poundage to drop between smaller sizes (e.g. size 8 to size…

I do! I like lifting weights and cycling. I'm also going to start doing water aerobics in the fall after work, which looks like fun. I *really* like the mood and energy boost I get afterward. The problem is that during the school year, unless I'm already in the habit of exercising in the mornings, it's hard to get out of…

I think that's because the calorie burnage is so difficult to track. If you look in the database for "strength training", then they have a generic "strength training" exercise that will have the number of calories burned for whatever number of minutes you lift weights.

Working out at home is a lot more comfortable. I have free weights, floor space, a stationary bike, and FitnessBlender workouts. So far so good. I plan on getting a YMCA membership when I move to my new town, so I can do water aerobics. Everything else will still happen at home because I prefer to work out alone. It's kind…

I went vegetarian and started exercising for real, not just going for a 20 minute leisurely walk three times a week (if that). Two weeks of that made me feel really good, both mentally and physically. I also love my job. If I'm active, I'll be able to keep doing my job for longer. Undoing years of not being kind to myself…

Me! I'm 29, 5'7.5" (that .5" is important when your siblings are both are 6' or taller), and I have... I could afford to lose quite a bit, but I'm really focusing on getting enough exercise and eating a reasonable amount of food. Feel free to add me!

Hi there! I also have some diet restrictions (vegetarian, dairy allergy). Let me know if you want some ideas.

You look amazing! Congratulations. I would be thrilled to be your current weight/size.
