I'm only just finishing up the first of the "new" seasons, the one with Chris Eggleston as the Doctor. Once I catch up I will let you know. :laugh:

Oh, where to begin... the bathroom needs cleaning, the car is a wreck from our recent road trip (not literally, it's just trashed haha), I have about six loads of laundry to do, and I should be working on a paper that's due next Wednesday. Buuuut I'm going to play League of Legends and watch Dr. Who on Netflix instead

^This. However, I will admit that not only did that take me about 23 years to learn that lesson (I'm 25), but I still find myself obsessing about what people think of me about certain things. Mostly these days it's not even weight-related, but it's an easy trap to fall into. But once you realize that it just doesn't…

Haha, they're actually pretty new and didn't even fit properly when I first bought them-- they just have a lot of creases because I walked through a park in them this morning :smile: but thanks!

I have an active job and I LOVE it. I worked in retail for years but always at the front-end cashier side, never on the stocking side. I have a fixed schedule and wake up at 3:45 every morning Monday through Saturday, to be at work by 5 a.m. sharp. The store is completely empty except for me, my co-workers, and a few…

I deleted everyone on my Friends list back in January and I swear, it was the best thing I ever did. I knew that simply "Deactivating" my account would lead to me reactivating it three days later, but deleting everyone means that now I'm too lazy to go and add everyone back :laugh: I was twitchy the first couple days, but…

Swimming, because I'm a lazy fat chick and it's soooo much easier to burn calories resisting against a heavier element than to lift weights in the air :laugh: I DO lift but my weight sets are still at "weakling" status. Once I break 100 lbs on all machines, I will feel like I'm accomplishing something.

Firstly it's 'plateau'. It's tricky but you'll get the hang of it. Second, there are many variables that go into a weight plateau, so you just have to tweak your plan until you find something that spurs loss again. If you normally work out for 30 minutes, try 45. If you cut your calories do it in SMALL amounts (don't drop…

It took me a second but I'm assuming she inserted a ? in place of the word "questions"

I'm new to this challenge, but I've done something similar. Is "soldier" just the default level of activity? I can promise to log in and check the boards daily and report to my Captain weekly but I can't promise being super chatty every day, so I don't want to over-commit.

I was super bummed when I found out recently that HALF a panini at Panera Bread was 1,500 mg sodium or close to it. It was ridiculous. It should have tasted like I was straight-up eating salt! ...Oh... wait... I suppose it did. :laugh: But no, you are not going to die. Just drink lots of water and sweat it all out. My…

Luckily I've never had a big problem with overindulging on soda because it makes me burp a lot, and I hate carbonated anything pretty much. When I was a kid I used to open a can of soda and then leave it in the fridge overnight so I could drink it the next day flat, haha. It was bad when I could get unlimited free Dr.…

It's something you have to force yourself into at first, but once it becomes a habit you'll find yourself wanting to do it. Especially once you start seeing results-- I started lifting, and now my job (a stocker) is becoming easier and easier as I lift heavier. Plus weight lifting gives you naturally better posture and is…

Haha, awesome story. :) I just got INTO size 18 jeans (and they're hot pink -- $5 at goodwill!), down from a size 24 in january. But I hope that one day I will bid a fond farewell to these jeans... hopefully soon, too!!

I like your post and you bring up a lot of great points. I'm not arguing for this mod, his article, or this 'kind of discourse' should be prohibited, abridged or censored in any way. The fact that it exists and that I read it is spreading awareness, I just think that the way in which it is written will turn off a lot of…

I wouldn't say that advice is "ignored" so much as "not needed" by the general public. If I DID see child pornography or evidence of violence somewhere on the internet, I would search for and read those articles and take action immediately. But until that day, no, I do not really feel like I have to educate myself on a…

But I don't report frivolous crap on Facebook. This article is literally about a problem that I have no part in other than being a fellow Facebook user. And I think that most people who use Facebook are like me -- they don't see atrocities being posted and don't feel the need to report things that aren't necessary. But…

I will answer your questions in order. No, but my brother does. I would, if I felt like I could actually accomplish something with that information. I would try to figure out what account it was posted from, get as much info from that account as possible (hopefully a location or area code at the very least) and go to the…

If this article truly wanted to spread awareness about the atrocities that happen daily on Facebook, it would have tips for tracking IP addresses or something, some way where you could actually help the victims of violence and exploitation. It would give contact info for those people who entrap pedophiles and stuff. It…

So... let me get this straight... Because other people aren't exposed to / actively trying to prevent awful things from happening at any given time, now they're worthy of rage because they dared to make a "frivolous report"? This logic makes absolutely no sense to me. You want to end frivolous reporting? Get rid of the…

Also, I laughed at this example of "frivolous reporting": “This page shared my picture without credit or permission.” Since when is stealing someone else's photograph or created image considered a write-off? No, it's not on the same level as violence or pornography, but it's apples and oranges. Someone's intellectual…

In the time it took him to write this butthurt rant, 5 acts of violence that were flagged on Facebook went unnoticed and no one 'saved them'. HEYOOOOOOO ...No but seriously. Whining about how he can't help people by being a mod? He's in the wrong career, plain and simple. Blaming society as a whole for humanity's crimes is…

I could have written this exact same post a couple weeks ago :/ It sucks, but the ONLY thing you can do that's constructive instead of shaming and destructive is to 1) Accept that today is a new day. 2) Work out extra hard -- within reason though, of course. It's not worth hurting yourself over. 3) Drink plenty of water.…

Aw MAN, I missed the golden era of MFP?! So I fell off the wagon AND fail at the interwebs... *kicks rocks*

The first one looks like more of a gay BFF instead of man-meat, haha, but I'll take the second one please!! Mmmmm. However, my BF does housework like he does everything else at home-- naked... :laugh:

Because it's not just an island, it's a bar / buffet area for all the serving dishes :tongue: Clearly this requires WomanLogic(tm) to understand...

Do you like rollerblades? Those are fun and not very expensive. Look up local parks that have hiking trails, try swimming at a local pool (also should be fairly inexpensive), or just put on your favorite music at home and dance around like an idiot until you're exhausted.

Sup Veronica :smile:

You know, I never even for a second considered going on a so-called 'fad diet' like Paleo seems to be labeled as... but your post makes me at least want to look into it a little bit more and see what exactly it entails. I talked to an old college friend recently who's dropped 50 pounds on a gluten-free diet and she's…
