hmm... before I found MFP, my mom was one of my inspirations (she's lost 25 lbs with WW), as well as my father who got in better shape a few years ago, and my fit sisters who have both run a marathon! I'm also inspired by so many MFPers who have made such big changes in their lives and look fabulous! Especially two of my…

:bigsmile: Agree.

I live in Germany, and wear anything from 38-42 depending on the clothing (dress-38, cardigan/jeans 40-42). In the US I would wear an 8-12 in most bottoms, and a Medium or Large in most tops. Unfortunately it is so different. I'd recommend websites with free returns (though hard to find internationally), or using online…

interesting. says mine is 132... and my GW is 135...

I second that. ..... Although I have a german friend whose entire family are Netherland (football) fans. (have the jerseys and all that ) And she's from Cottbus!!! Not even near there... I don't really understand her. lol.

i like it post workout, or mixed with protein powder as a super delicious shake... some brands taste more like coconut than others, but it's a refreshing taste, and not like that yucky, ueber-sweet, artificle coconut flavor... if that makes any sense. I like Cocowell and Dr. Martin's (both organic, fair trade, and…

Ich bin Ami, aber ich wohne seit einige Jahren in Deutschland... zaehlt dass?

bump just for good ideas. lol.

today. left a paint shop picture for the bf on his computer on my way out to work :) When's the last time you put yourself first?

I'm 26, CW 168, SW 185 (in June 2011). I eat 1390 calories, usually eat enough work out calories to be above 1200, if not all of them. I've also sometimes gone over and it didn't seem to ruin me. Still losing steadily.

I like : www.skinnytaste.com

looking good!

Oh my gosh! I completely forgot to weigh in! This weekend was crazy! We were celebrating for the bf.. and Monday was a holiday here so I was off of my game... it slipped my mind. Sorry. Last week: 169.7 CW: 168.7 Great Job everyone else!!!! :flowerforyou: edit: I love Winsor for pilates.…

I don't watch the show, but this is who my bf got told he looks like all the time he was in the US Can I add Mike Skinner (though I don't really consider him "unconventional")?

Not sure what "unconventional" is supposed to mean, but I looooove these fellas. Neil Gaiman Bob Geldof Vincent D'onofrio

You are worth more than that. You are a strong, beautiful, smart woman and you don't need to put up with anything less than 100%. Got it? :flowerforyou:

interestiing article. Some of it's b.s... I mean 1. blood doesn't need to be "heated up".. 2. nazis didn't invent the microwave... and so on. But it was entertaining, and I haven't had a miscrowave in years, because food tastes better from the oven or stove :)

I'm going to assume you live in the US where you have to be 21 to drink... because most countries it's 16 or 18. Plus, the OP is 19... she IS an adult. Yes, alcohol has carbs and calories. No, it isn't great for your diet.. ANNNND... it's one night. I hardly drink anymore (I'm 26 btw) but this weekend we will be…

My 2 cents? I think having children is a privilege. If it was a right, everyone would be able to, right? Yet many couples continue to struggle to have a family (PCOS, infertility, homosexual couples, etc). People shouldn't take it for granted.

what in tarnations did you eat? I don't think I coul ingest 2400 calories of anything at one meal... but nice burn! way to earn those calories :D

All of my friends are pretty freakin awesome. Especially: Cartern1, nsugarcoating, billsica and Soccer_Chick, russeljclarke and manipriscilla who are always writing me nice stuff. :) oh, and Taso and Heather :(

I get calf pain when I've been overworking my legs. I've been barefoot running, and if I do more than 2 miles, I definitely feel it. I usually listen to the pain and take a few days off of ALL jogging/running, although 15 min walks seem ok. I'm not a dr, and this is only what I do, but listen to your body. It hurts for a…

the honey ones? Yes! I lived off of them in college (granted I worked at a co-op with a discount, so it helped. They're delicious and addicting.

for a place with a "no judgement" rule, their commercials seem pretty dang judgemental.

^ riiight? :blushing:

Hey, getting into shape to gain confidence is the perfect motivation! You should definitely love yourself ad be happy before you look for someone to fill that role for you. If getting fit will help you to be confident and in a good place in your life, then that's a great reason. After you take care of you, then meeting…

I recently set mine to 40-30-30 (the 40 being Carbs)... still need to see how it works out. Protein should be about there for building muscles.

congrats! way to go!

bump. good info. thanks.

Lookin good! Keep it up!
