I am loving these responses so far. Y'all are so productive! (And yes, even though I'm from Illinois I just said y'all, deal with it!)

Awww! Work them into your cals tomorrow and treat yourself :D

Welcome! And that substitution sounds excellent, I'll have to try it sometime. :smile:

Haha, University parking ANYWHERE is a nightmare, I'm pretty sure, so that is indeed a feat! Well done!

Awesome! Yours, or someone else's?

Haha! You rebel you. But... was it your goal to do that? :tongue:

Unfortunately I have no way to take my Pandora stations with me when I go walking or to the gym, but when I just do workouts at home I put this kind of stuff on and crank it. This track came up on my "Kill Paris" station. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy4qL6xGWrk

Coming down (slowly) from topping the charts at nearly 300 myself, it is impressive to see how far you've come from the same point, and that you've not only lost the weight but have become healthier and stronger in the process. You have pretty much done exactly what I want to do, and perhaps in a year or two I will be…

1) Don't keep it in the house. If you decide to buy it, buy in small quantities. I used to kid myself that a whole box of cookies would last me a week or more... that never happens. But if it's not in the house, then there's nothing to reach for. 2) When there's absolutely nothing in the house that you're craving and…

Figure out what "triggers" your binge and try to remove that from your life for a period of time that is longer than 2 weeks but shorter than "forever", because swearing off something "forever" never works. For me, I was slipping hard the past few weeks on bingeing-- mostly just me, but it was also aggravated by smoking…

Logging is like putting in the prep work for a paper, speech, or other large assignment. When you see it all laid out in front of you, and can track your progress over long periods of time, you can see trends and areas in which you're doing well / need to improve. You can tweak your diet to get past plateaus, abolish…

But... but... the foods on your tracker pic are touching :tongue: :laugh:

This is a really neat idea, but too much prep work for me haha. I just throw all the ingredients sans cheese and dressing together in a little tupperware container the night before, then add in the cheese and dressing before leaving in the morning... works for me :tongue:

You don't get to tell people how to respond to your thread... this is the internet, where freedom of expression exists just like in the *gasp, shock* real world. :tongue:

You are awesome!! This is why I'm lifting :smile: you look like a rockstar!

Sounds good to me!

Watching others is a great inspiration. From the moment I started beefing up my Friends list, I was not only inspired by what so many other people on here have accomplished, but I also felt accountable for MY actions since my food diary is open to Friends. Feel free to add me; I'm recovering from a bad patch myself but I'm…

I think it was because I reposted that gif :3 but I just couldn't help it! It's too sexy to not repost!

The best part of being a teenager was the hours and hours I could spend daily just... daydreaming. Imagining all the possibilities that my life could hold. Being filled with a hope and enthusiasm to do good in the world that I wish I could revive, eight years later. Being free from cynicism, bitterness and doubt. Oh and…

Well, I always thought about and always wanted food, but I wasn't AWARE of just how much I was eating or how many calories it was. Ah, to be blissfully ignorant again... And now, I'm going beyond the "stay under my calorie goal and eat whatever you want" lazy way of "dieting" and am actually committing to giving up fast…

I'm hoping for your sake that you're joking, but if you're not... opening a thread called "WTF! NAKED DUDES" at work where someone could see you? Come on man :noway:

I love smooth legs too, but until they invent an easier, cheaper, and more skin-friendly way to do it than the current methods, I say no thank you :tongue:

"What do you MEAN I can't spot-reduce?! Dr. Oz says that if I apply Astro-Glide 3x daily that it will shrink all fatty areas with no exercise!" ...Yes, Dr. Oz will still be around. He's an alien, after all. Sent to Earth as a prank to humans, and his broadcasts are sent via satellite to his home planet Xsoewiubh. It's…

I google image searched "I have" and this is, in my opinion, the most interesting thing I found.

I top 2k calories daily and am proud of it. That won't always be the case of course, as I continue to shrink, but even at my goal weight if I am active enough I think I can swing 16-1800 cals and be fine :)

The only place I have had waxed is my eyebrows, and considering how wussy I felt during THAT, I would never be brave enough to try other more sensitive areas of my body. Call me a dirty liberal hippie but I think that women are too obsessed with removing their body hair. I shave every now and again, in my armpits and my…

The same thing happened to me but on my legs. Nair burned and burned and burrrrrrrned and I was practically crying, and when I finally scraped the stupid crap off my hair was still there! :cry:

Luckily my bf prefers being naked... it's almost a challenge getting him to wear clothes at all. :laugh: I've seen old women in the locker rooms, and it's not like I check them out lol, but really, why would it bother me? Nudity is not, and should not, be offensive to anyone so long as you are not exposing yourself to a…

This comment + your profile pic = sending FR :smile:

They talk to each other like that because they are comfortable, mature adults. You do not have to look and you do not have to participate, but at least man up and admit that the reason you change alone is because YOU'RE insecure. :smile:
