Hi. My name is Yvette and I am an electrical engineer for a power company. They don't make 'em much geekier than me... Feel free to add me! I love the science and math people of the world :) And HOLY MOLY you are good looking for a geek!

This is gonna sound like I'm just praising this site or something, but I always had TERRIBLE acne, and NOTHING worked (and I mean nothing) until I started working out and eating clean. Now? Skin's clear as bottled water.

Lake Orion mostly, sometimes Flint, sometimes Troy, sometimes Royal Oak, sometimes Novi, work in downtown Detroit. Yeah SE Michigan!

I ran Saturday in Mt. Morris last year and it was an absolute blast!! I will probably do it again in Mt. Morris. Although, someone fell off the top of the wall and I think she broke her back...We watched it happen, it was absolutely terrifying.

Go Flint! Such a gorgeous town. :laugh: Yeah I'm there, in my last year at Kettering University.

This is awesome! You rock! Wowzers, I am the same height as you and pretty close to your starting weight, and I have the goal of your current weight! I've gotten there before, but only from around 165. So how long did it take you? It sounds like we have the same workout ethic so I'm thinking it'll be similar for me. I am…

I think Brad Pilon said this, but "40 is the new 30, and the mirror is the new scale!" That is for sure.

I'll be 22 on Tuesday, from Michigan, and freshman 15? HA, more like freshman 50. :) feel free to add me! The more support the better and for the record, my profile pic is before I gained 50 pounds; it's just for motivation for me to get back there, so don't think I'm just some crazy anorexic who wants to be like 90 pounds.

Here's my running playlist. Some of them I think I need to cut, and I'm kinda weird and have an extremely diverse taste, but there might be something in here that you like: *Scatta (feat, Foreign Beggars and Bare Noize) - Skrillex* Dynamite - Taio Cruz **We Are Young - 3OH!3** Falling For The First Time - Barenaked Ladies…

A human brain. Explains a lot! Including why I had a chunk of plastic sticking out of my hand after I changed my windshield wipers and then forgot to put the cap back on the coolant reservoir today......

Blahblahblah, binge drinking in college is bad blahblahblah. Give me heat for saying this, everyone else, but I agree with OP. You're not an alcoholic until you graduate. ANYWAY, when I want to drink and party, I listen to good old Martin Berkhan:…

Laur425!! I figure we are close enough Age: Pretty much 22 SW: 210 CW: 203 GW: 135-145 Height: 5'4.5"

http://www.leangains.com/2011/06/is-late-night-eating-better-for-fat.html It's a myth. You can eat at night if you have calories to spare.

Not personally, but last night three guys I go to school with were walking back to their house from campus - a total of two block, and they were shot at. Multiple times. They heard the bullets whizzing past them, closely. This makes me not want to get back on campus! The next morning a 17-year-old was shot while riding the…

Not even a little bit. On top of the candy bar shop in the break room right across from my cubicle, there are donuts or bagels or cake or cookies or chips or all of the above that someone will have brought in every single day. It's also holiday season, and our entire floor is supposed to either bring a dessert to share for…

I'm losing weight to join the Navy too! I have a lot more to go than you though - about 30 pounds to be solidly under their max for my height. Good luck!

MFP's default protein goal is notoriously low. As a rule of thumb, you should strive to eat a gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight. IE, if your ideal body weight is 130 lb, you should aim for 130 grams of protein a day. It is difficult to eat too much protein.

http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html A fascinating article about alcohol and metabolism. AKA how to drink yourself silly without messing up your diet. (Eat low carb and extremely low fat on drinking days) Edit: I've tested this on multiple occasions and it works like a charm. It's…

I thought her chocolate protein was gross, personally. Also I think there are protein powders out there with more grams of protein for your calorie buck. For example, the trueprotein gemma pea powder I use right now (it's not that tasty, the pea adds a weird nuttyness, but it works for flavors like banana coconut.) has 25g…
