not in an incredibly similar situation, but everyone on mfp has a similar goal :) plus, my friends aren't seeming very supportive right now :( expanding my network!

What I'm happiest about, apart from the obvious weight loss, is how happy and beautiful you are on the *inside*; you didn't let weighing more or less change that. :flowerforyou:

same people keep posting over and over again...:grumble: 9.5 - gurrrrrrrl you fierce

At some point... you *should* feel comfortable enough with your s.o (they're significant for a reason) to show them your body, "flaws" and all. Perhaps though, that is easier said than done for me, as my s.o is slightly larger than I am (there's no pressure from a super fit s.o body). Still, you should love each other…

started p90x again!!

you are incredible!! :heart:

toronto!!!

Thanks! Hope everything works out for you :)

thanks guys! settled for (half) a giant asian pear. those things tend to be not as sweet, as well as not as dense! so i tracked it as one regular asian pear :smile: thanks for all the suggestions! i'll keep them in mind for later!!

One might say that it's a *bit* restrictive... I would love to exercise a bit more, but it's very late at night, and I don't want to disturb my sleeping family.. One more day, and then I'm going back to my regular, calorie-watching diet :smile:

low-cal for me means like.. below 50 calories D: i'm on a strict food regimen right now, and don't want to risk anything :c

i'll see if i have any.. :cry:

OMG, i *totally* agree! I've had kangaroo once and it was *to die for*

I know this is in good fun, but it's a bit offensive.

Different people have different boundaries and standards. Life's long enough to make the best out of your relationships.

Not seeing a visible difference is probably mostly because of your mindset. We all see a huge difference - you should too :smile:

Fun and games = anything goes. Try using logic a little! :flowerforyou:

Hmm, so if someone posted a horrendous rant about anti-semitism and the Holocaust, that would totally be dandy, right? Totally. Appreciation shouldn't go away, but it should be concentrated more on your significant other. There will never be a black and white line, but the grey area here should be easier to navigate…

hahahaha quite :laugh:

Other people and I had this same differing of definitions of flirting. I find that complimenting once on a person's body, because you want to congratulate them or simply say what's on your mind is perfectly fine... but taking that, and doing that continuously with the intention of attracting the other person is not okay.…

Exactly :laugh: Congratulations on 7 years by the way!!:heart:

THIS. This is exactly the mindset people should be in when being flirted on/flirting. :flowerforyou:

I think we have different definitions of flirting and being hit on. To me, complimenting is fine (especially, like you said, on a site that promotes a certain body image). My idea of "allowing" to be flirted with is not the initial "thank you" after being dealt a compliment, but rather allowing the *continuation* of…

I know what you mean. I often "hit on" (hahah) girls not just on MFP, but on a lot of social networking places because it's just hilarious and everyone does know that it's a joke. But.. then again, I don't think I would call that "flirting" or "hitting on", just because flirting, to me, has a very specific definition..…

By allow, I mean by accepting and allowing it to continue. Obviously nothing can be done to stop the initial compliment/flirt. That makes sense. I agree.

So you think *both* are at fault. compromise. :laugh:

Nothing is wrong with hitting? Isn't there a moral problem with respecting boundaries?

what size pan should we use to yield 9 equal pieces?

Wow. I'm kind of surprised at the amount of ignorance/paranoia present over a chemical that *helps* people cut down sugar on a site that advocates for positivity and losing weight... But it is still the internet so... Also, someone said that we'd become denatured to the sugar level in fruits and other natural products...…

You go sharp a lot, so watch that. Otherwise, love your tone! Check out my channel: Rachiewoowoo for a more operatic style :)
