My experiences either involve boys I was attempting to date or my mother. My mother being the worst of them. - In the 6th grade until I graduated high school, my mother and I would go shopping for back to school clothing. It would quickly turn into her guilt tripping me for being fat and making things hard on her to find…

Haha, thanks for posting the video. It was interesting and fun to watch. :) I plan on brushing, so no worries there. I don't really want sweets, but I could see how it would make sense if someone's sugar level got too low. Thank you for the response!

I'll be sure to look into those. Thank you. :)

I'll be taking a special backpack with me, it's a Camel-bak..? I'm sure I've spelled that wrong... but it has a large water tank built into it. Specifically for hiking and the sort, really awesome stuff. I'm going to be chugging water all day~ Cheese and crackers... :D... Hitting a soft spot for me there. lol Thank you for…

That's two for Cliff bars so far. I'll keep an eye out for that and Zone bars. Thank you for reminding me that I have a giant bag of almonds I can take and share. :)

"Cliff bars are good. Aldi fit and acitve meal replacement bars aren't bad. I'd really take fresh fruit over dried if you can. Dried fruit is usually high in sugar and calories..the average dried fruit is 130 cals for 1/4 cup... " Well, if I'm walking for 8-14 hours a day, wouldn't I want more calories? D: Fresh fruit…

What if I portion controlled? Maybe ask for a doggy bag. They can do that, right? Have em wrap it up for me while I prep for my mug shot. ;o

I'm not sure how things will look when I get up there. It's in another city and I don't know the layout, so the more prep I can do before hand the better. The suggestions you made are wonderful though. Thank you much. :)

I would, but they are tough and rotten. D:

Thanks for the response! Yes, I do strength training mostly right now. I hit weights 4-5 times a week for 30-45 a session and work in muscle groups (arms/chest one day, legs/glutes the next, etc). Cardio started getting too easy and boring, so I swapped over to mostly doing weights with a cardio warm up about a two weeks…

Alright. I'll try resetting everything for a few days and look into more foods. I really don't want to sabotage. It's just so much to eat and so often! D: lol Thanks for the input!

My apologies. I changed my calorie goal as of this morning and reset everything. It was at 1300 or 1500 as of yesterday. And what is a 5 a day? Edit: I forgot to answer you breakfast question. I'm usually on the run in the mornings and eating breakfast has always made me yak. Soy shakes are pretty much what works for me…

Huh, I hadn't heard of this before, but it sounds amazing. Thanks for the recipe!

I feel your pain. Lost 52-ish now and I don't have a loss yet. Looking forward to it though! Chin up, Sommerling. It'll all do it's thing in time. :)

That was perfect, Sarah. Thank you very much! :D

Thank you~ I was looking at Pilates the other day. I'll give it a shot. :)

I wanted to do it each month, but I ended up holding off until I hit a certain weight. (50 for me.) I probably should have taken more pictures in between, but I went with what I felt was comfortable. I'll swap over to monthly or bi-monthly soon perhaps. :)

I like your cellphone. Am I doing it right?

Heeeey, no offense taken. :D I thought it was neat that someone noted it down and figured I'd help explain things a bit better~! It looks super weird to others, completely understandable! And yeah, we're out there almost every weekend, depending on the chapters. Weather doesn't matter. Rain, shine, sleet, hail. I've done a…

"Cycling at the park only to see a bunch of people dressed as Knights with swords. They wear sparring. I thought what a bunch of dorks...lol.. " I guess my quote doesn't wanna show up~ What you saw is called Amtgard. I do it, myself. Yes, we're a bunch of dorks, but it's a tight knit group and provides the only source of…

Hahaha, leave to get lunch and come back to this awesome response. Thank you all very much. I appreciate all of the kind words. :D

I am doing it this year! :D Best of luck to ya! I haven't prepped anything for this year. I normally don't even bother until the day of. haha.

My long-time favorite songs to run/workout to: Separate Ways - Journey Return of Salieri - Warmen (Well, ANY of the Salieri songs to be honest) Every Little Thing - Ra (Cover of an original by Police) Into the Moonlight - Dream Evil When I Grow Up - ***** Cat Dolls Hey Ya - Outkast Anything fast with a hard beat. It helps…

I am right there with you! Have to lose 150+, but I'm already through part of it. You can totally do this! I'll send a friend request and give the support I can! :D

Love these. lemme fish a few up to add. :D oh, and one that will make you think twice about eating nasty stuff.
