Are you weighing and measuring your food to make sure that you really are only eating that few cals? Are you exercising at all? There are days - few and far between - where I'm really pretty much done at 1200 cals. However, I've never, EVER had to force myself to hit the minimum. Also, be sure that you're eating breakfast.…

I got to bed anywhere between 11 and 1, and if I eat after 8 I either have nightmares or wake up several times in the night. I also can't eat a really heavy meal - goodbye, Olive Garden for dinner *waves sadly*

THIS!!! Just make the rest of today as healthy as possible. Go for a walk, eat a light but healthy dinner, and enjoy your day. Don't let one pc of cake ruin your day. It did sound amazing :)

I saw you!!!!! I saw the pic and was like OMG that's the lady from MFP! I'm so proud of you, and I don't even know you. You're amazing :)

Way to kick a hornet's nest :smile: Sorry in advance for the novel! Because most of us don't have a lifestyle which allows for a lot of activity. We sit in a car to get from our homes to work and back because most of us live too far away from our jobs to ride a bike or walk, and even if we didn't live too far I don't know…

Hooray for you!!!

Aww, boo - don't get down about things! If you're changing your lifestyle, then you're going to have to learn how to adjust for things that you enjoy - including the fair!! Here's what I do: Look up the cals for all the foods you would normally eat at the fair. I <3 corny dogs and funnel cake. If I go w/ someone, I usually…

That I love my dog. And beer (yes, that is a beer in a coozie on a sting of beads around my neck). And St. Patty's day. And parades. So, mostly that I'm a huuuuuuuge dork. :drinker:

I've never had a Ridgeback, but I think they're beautiful dogs. I would worry that if you got to a point where you couldn't run a lot with him (i.e. - you got the flu, it snowed for three days in a row) he would get super destructive from the pent up energy.

That's awesome - way to go!!

I'm assuming you're avoiding the computer on the weekends? Do you have a smartphone? If so, get the app. If not, just get a small notebook. Write down EVERYTHING you eat....don't try to keep up w/ calories or whatnot, just write. it. down. I swear, having to write down that you had eight beers will make you think long and…

Want want want want want....just can't figure out what :( I've wanted one since I was literally 12, when my Grandpa told me about his anchor tattoo on his forearm. I just can't seem to decide what I want. I told myself that I have to put up the pic of whatever I'm thinking about on my bathroom mirror so that I can see it…

I had my first kiss in kindergarten - then I punched that boy in the face. Other than that I was super shy and quiet.

You look amazing!!! Keep up the awesome work :flowerforyou:

The main thing is to make sure that you are sitting at your desk with proper posture....don't cross your legs, and try to imagine a string pulling your spine straight up. Also try to keep as much distance btw your ears and shoulders as possible - I know that I tend to scrunch up when I'm concentrating really hard on…

Welcome! This place is really great. Also, I love your quote - I <3 Dori :)

bump - I need to remember to take Vit D this winter. I'm always miserable once the sun goes away :(

IMHO - FAIL. Horrible, horrible fail. When Alan is the one pulling off the jokes, you know it's not gonna end well :/

I've had both, prefer the second because I'm a social retard and have met some of my best friends as "co-workers" - I :heart: you Smashley, hope you read this! However I really do miss my awesome bosses.....

You're getting first-day-of-school syndrome...JUST GO DO IT! You will probably love it and wonder WTH you were thinking in doubting yourself :flowerforyou: Maybe call the place and ask what is appropriate attire for the class you're signed up for? Most of all, GO GO GO!! It's better to go do something than to wonder what…

The nicer pants (Banana Republic, etc) I'm getting altered to be taken in a size or so. I spent ~ $100 on fixing 5 pr of pants, and that's way less than what I would've spent at BR all over again. Other stuff is going in my goodwill donation box. After being cataloged VERY specifically so that I can take a nice deduction…

LMBO - if it's possible to pick up, I do. If not, we continue on. I can kind of tell when Rid**** is about to drop one, so we hustle to an alley or something :)

*hugs* I haaaaaaaate nightmares. They leave you so shaken and helpleses-feeling the next day. Are you eating spicy or rich foods for dinner? Are you eating very late? If so, try eating less garlic/spiciness for an early dinner for a week or so, see if that helps. I don't know the science behind it, but someone told me that…

Tell him. "No" is a lot easier to deal with (IMHO) than always wondering what could've/would've/should've happened.

My puppers (in my profile pic) is my running buddy....although since he's a mastiff and I'm out of shape, our running is really jogging a block here and there during our walks. He's so funny: when he's caught his breath and ready to go again, he looks up at me all sweetly like, "Hey! Can we go fast again now?!?" I :heart:…

Check out the hundred pushup challenge (google it). You can do it with modified (girl) pushups, and OMG it works :) It will also help tone up your core a bit too.

Are you over-extending your knees? ***Disclaimer - I am NOT a doc or any other health professional*** I've heard/read that when you do lunges that your knee - when bent - should not go past your toes. If it does, you need to adjust your back leg (move it further away) so that you shin stays at a right angle to the ground.…

Mine too!!! I can walk/run on uneven, crappy sidewalks and I'm A-OK. Walking/running on the treadmill makes my lower legs hurt. Not really shinsplints (I've had those, and I stretch to prevent them) but around my knees and the backs of my calves. I don't know if I have a different gait or something on the treadmill, or…
