I absolutely love everything about cooking, and I don't believe people when they say they can't cook - all it takes is practice! :) Don't let food intimidate you! Find some recipes for foods you like and just take your time, read them fully before starting, and go for it. The more you practice the less you'll need recipes!

Amen!

I'm all for skinny cocktails, but if it's really your 21st birthday... maybe you ought to go out and live a little! One day won't kill you, drink something yummy and hop back on the wagon tomorrow. You only turn 21 once! (Just DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! That's what Uber is for!!)

Those 8/9 jeans even look big on you girl! Great job!! :)

Eat more food!

To lose weight you need to consumer fewer calories than you burn, and spinning sure burns a lot of calories! So keep at it if you like it :)

Biologically, I don't buy into the claims that we're not meant to eat meat/consume dairy. Just my humble opinion. That said, I do spend way too much money on ethically produced, environmentally sustainable meat/fish/dairy, because even though I'm eating an animal, I care about how they're treated in their life. And if…

I <3 the fat guy bulk look.

I <3 the Ben and Jerry's froyo

Sleep in your workout clothes!

Well, I'm 5'7" with a large frame and I'm aiming for 160. Not sure if that helps but there ya go! :)

Dangit, you had me until "little or no refined sugar/ w(h)ite flours" JK no you didn't.

100% this. I like this song but I also listen to 90% country and they're not really the genre to appreciate child-bearing hips. Bigger problems out there in the world, folks.

Just wanna jump on board here and say I do too. I'm in a super grumpy mood.

Today I have a Healthy Choice Steamers (I don't loooove frozen meals but I was in a rush), a string cheese and a 100-calorie pack of cookies. And for a snack I have 2 oz. of turkey lunch meat, 28 g. of smoked almonds and 2 cinnamon graham crackers. Annnnd now I'm ready for lunch. :)

This. I don't like going to the dentist or mowing the lawn or paying for my car insurance, but sometimes you just gotta suck it up because you're an adult and you're responsible for your own life/body/insurance premiums. Good luck. ETA: Or, you know, just don't eat them. You're free to do that too. Your health might suffer…

Kale, when my desk gets messy, when Pandora plays 8 crappy songs in a row, being fat.

I'd be happy to lose like 5% in that time!

Never trust a woman with a thin upper lip.

I've been tracking since February on a different MFP account and I'd say I'm ok... I still weigh things but just to see how I'm doing I'll try to estimate first. I'm still usually over but not by as much as I used to be.

ANNND this is why I love you. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You know he already likes you more than me anyway.

Aw man!!!!! Bamboozled.

Think of it this way: If you see someone jogging down the sidewalk, do you drop everything and analyze/scrutinize them? Probably not. I don't. No one's looking at you, so don't let that hold you back.

Deodorant!
