Welcome! Feel free to add me :) You can do this!

I like a lot of Jesus Culture's songs.

BA in English Lit. Am now doing cardiac ultrasound. I make more working 2.5 days a week than if I worked full time teaching.

I'm apple shaped, so my legs get defined while my middle still holds on to fat. Very frustrating.

Those are amazing results!

Ah! Shoot me now because I'd last all of 2 minutes in a zombie apocalypse. You know, I already know that this whole "conversation" is enough to trigger a zombie nightmare tonight (that and the friggin Walking Dead commercial I just saw *shiver*.) Maybe I'll actually make it out of the city and into the mountains this…

zombies. Seriously. My whole life I've had reoccurring nightmares about them. Recently found out that when I was 2, my idiot parents (granted, they were YOUNG idiot parents 20 and 22) wanted to see Night of the living dead (or whichever one came out in 1979ish) and they TOOK ME WITH THEM!! Apparently after the first zombie…

Wear a pad and ignore it :)

Awesome! I'm so excited about trying this!!

I'd like to join, but I've never joined a group like this on MFP...how do I do this???

My sports bra, which essentially means no-impact exercising...unless I want black eyes.

Probably both because she looked amazing at the Grammy's! I couldn't believe how amazing she looked. So she is definitely tons smaller now. But that picture definitely looks altered.

Definitely. The larger you are, the more calories it takes to keep you going. Using a HRM, I have burned 1000 in 75 minutes. But 1) I was about 15 lbs heavier than I am now and 2) I was running. I burn about 140 calories per 10 minutes when I run. But I only burn about 60 calories for every 10 minutes on the elliptical. If…

My thirty year old cousin, pregnant with twins, just found out she had a melanoma (the most deadly of skin cancers.) She's just 30. She used the tanning bed almost every year just to get her tan started. She was by no means a sun worshiper. Luckily they took it off before it penetrated into deeper levels of her epidermis.…

But the padding isn't always just to make breasts look bigger. Some larger cup bras have padding too. Sometimes the padding is to round out the breasts. Not all breasts are the same shape and the padding can help shape your breasts so they fit more attractively in your top.

I work in a Cardiologists office doing Cardiac ultrasound. One of our patients we hadn't seen in about 6 months came in and she looked fabulous! We weighed her, of course, and she had dropped so much weight. When we asked her how she did it, she said My fitness pal .com! Of course we all went straight to the computer to…

you look 20 years younger!!! And so beautiful! So glad you've finally found the real you that was hiding for so many years!

Ahhh! Don't weigh somewhere else where you can't be naked!! ha, ha! Seriously, don't do that to yourself. Every scale is different and you are looking at your progress. Your scale at home is reflecting your progress. Plus, you don't know what she is doing to lose weight that quickly. She could be starving herself while you…

On skinnytaste.com she has these awesome chicken enchiladas that are great! She's a gourmet cook and can manage to make all kids of meals delicious

It doesn't bother me. But I grew up in a family where we'd all get different dishes (at a restaurant) and then we'd all try each others food. It would really bother my ex when I would want to taste his dish when we'd go out, so eventually I stopped asking. But I never stopped asking him if he wanted to try mine. I couldn't…

I think you definitely need to go on a recipe search. I agree with some previous posters about "hiding" your veggies in with your meats or sauces. It can be a great way to begin to acclimatize your taste buds to new flavors. I really never liked cauliflower for the longest time. But I just recently found a roasting recipe…

I'm currently being tortured by the theme song from the cartoon series "Kung Fu Panda." Seriously. I've been waking up in my sleep with it running through my head. Somebody make it stop...

I think an anonymous gesture would really be nice. I think if she knew it was you she would be embarrassed.

Yes! Thank you!

When I finish at the gym, my hair is completely wet (I'm a head sweater,) my face is red and purple blotchy, I have a sweat mark from my neckline to halfway down my shirt, and if I made the mistake of wearing the wrong mascara, I have bit of the raccoon eye going on. And I feel GOOD. If I don't look like that when I'm done…

Have you entered your weight and stats correctly? Maybe its basing its calculations on an incorrect weight input. Might want to check it :)

When I finally got down to 190 lbs, my step mom was bragging on me in front of some other people. "Doesn't she look so good! This is the weight she is supposed to be at!" She has said that alot. That she thinks my body just naturally is supposed to be at 180. I am 5'6 and apple shaped. I am at 182 lbs now and have 28lbs to…
