I still can't make up my mind about what to wear for my Halloween costume.

If only having that feeling was all it took to rid myself of a few wrinkles...

1975- love em

Lol Don, I wanna see the photographic evidence please!!!

Finally! People are making sense! Work with it to find what works best for you... Best advice out there!

America's Next Top Model Project Runway

I had a male student, a senior, run ahead of me to hold the door for me today. Sweetest thing! But as far as truly adult men? Only attention I notice I get is on here.

Hmmmm... are these protein enriched pickles high in sodium? I've noticed that pickles sometimes tend to taste...salty.

Stay within your calories, and make little changes at a time ti keep yourself from getting overwhelmed. Like, my first week, I just cut out regular pop. Then I stayed in calories, then I added water... And did little changes a week, or sometimes every other week at a time, I started at 299, so I also have a long road.…

Can I send nominations? Embramlet (or, however his name is spelled) for sure! :drinker:

She is stunning, and her confidence is downright sexy! She's the epitome of beauty based on a lot of classical art. But people have their own opinions of what makes a body beautiful, and it is okay if it is different from mine. I love that the "popular" viewpoint is finally evolving from scrawny to curvy again. Healthy is…

I can just see a lil kid saying this, all innocently. Most young children wouldn't get how this could be perceived as ungrateful. Older children? Different story. I'm picturing a little five year old kindergartener, and it's completely adorable. A ten year old? I'd snatch it from him or her and say I could find something…

Bananas are supposed to cause constipation in babies, so avoid them. (I love them, but they can be bad.)

I hope I didn't sound like I begrudge it one little bit! I know my reasons, but they don't necessarily make sense to a 17 year old boy, and it thought it would be interesting to hear what others had to say. Plus, I can go back to the classroom and challenge all of the kids to join me in a local charity run this month, and…

Sorry for the confusion--hopefully clarified now. But you were spot on! :-)

I'm running a 5k on the 8th, a fund-raiser for my cousin's military unit; I'm doing another 5k memorial run on the 22nd, and then on the 29th, I'm doing yet another 5k- the Monster Dash. It's the one where I can dress in a costume, and it's one I'm most excited about! =)

Jealous! =)

Can see a definite difference. So jealous of your tiny waist! I look forward to the day I can have progress pictures this awesome. CONGRATS!

The more I exercise, the more it curbs my appetite. I've always had a slow metabolism, so idk about the age thing. Muscle burns more though, so maybe less cardio and more weights.

I hear that. And then sometimes you offer support and friendship, and they delete YOU. But there are many more who will offer support, so delete the quiet ones and keep cheering the others!

Definitely flying. I've had dreams about that all my life. Then, probably mind-reading and invisibility and super speed and strength... can I have them all?!

Trust me, I understand your pain! The way I overcame my initial temptation was fruit, and lots of it. People will tell you not to eat too much fruit, but when you're trying to break a sugar addiction, I swear by it. Of course, I was addicted to fruity sugars, candies, drinks, etc. With yours being chocolate, try puddings,…

There was a "workout facility" in the city where I used to live, and I used their one-week pass to try the place out. This place had several different machines... I thought they were relaxing, more than anything, but in my admittedly limited experience, there was no benefit to them.

EAT! I felt like the obsession with food would never go away too, when I first started. It was like, before, when I wasn't logging, I didn't think about food all the time, but once I started logging, it was incessant, and there was no way I wanted to live the rest of my life like that. Just go with it, because it will…

It's not accurate on my predictions either, but the above advice about checking portion sizes and weights of foods is spot on. Double your water too. Also, make sure your weight/height/goal settings are all correct. MFP works really well if you input the correct information, so hang in there, and don't give up. During the…
