favorite chick flicks?
Soo..Bridgette Jones's Diary is my favorite movie EVAR. I'm looking for other good chick flicks that deal with self-esteem/body image issues in lighthearted/funny ways. What are your favorite chick flick comedies?

down 70 lbs. :)
Count calories at basal metabolic rate (looking to lose a few more pounds before upping to maintenance calories). Eat back half my exercise calories, and NO CHEAT DAYS. EVER. Doing cheat days led me into eating disorder land, and though I've found my way out through cognitive behavioral therapy and will power, I do not…

5'5 sustainable weight
Judging by my own experience and what I've seen on the success stories board, I've gotten the idea that roughly 130 lbs. is the lowest sustainable (like, still having lots of pleasure in your eating life, getting sweets a few times a week, and some nice big meals) for the majority of girls who are 5'5. Does this reflect…

scale
I have a Health o meter HDM770DQ2-05 model. It worked fine initially, but lately it's been giving me weights that are ridiculously low. It was saying 130 give or take a few pounds for the first month or two that I had it, which is consistent with what I get from other scales, but lately it's been giving me weights in the…

Aspartame and Cognitive Function?
I have heard over and over and over again that aspartame is the devil. But I haven't seen a lot of research to back this up. I know it turns into formaldehyde, but I haven't seen conclusive evidence to indicate that that's bad for my body. I'm specifically interested in its impact on cognitive function. I have read…

Ethical implications of food?
I'm already a vegan, so I know enough about animal agriculture. What I'm wondering is what are the ethical implications of vegan foods? Does the production of my food entail some injustice I'm not aware of? What is the impact of the production of food packaging etc on people and the environment? If you think attempting to…

How Many Eat Whatever I Want Days per Month?
I'm 5 ft. 4.5 inches and I weigh in the early 130s. I want to be in the early 120s. How many eat whatever the hell I want days/24 hr. periods can I have per month without screwing up my weight loss? Don't tell me none, that doesn't work for me. Thanks!

Literature?
I LOVE literature. Mostly Wilde, Proust, Austen, Fowles, Salinger, Vidal, Ursula Le Guin, Truman Capote, Machiavelli...You get the idea. Am I alone? Are there other calorie counters who appreciate a good read?

Before and After Pics Please
I have lost 7 lbs. using this site and am now at a "happy weight" although I'd like to lose a couple more in order to be at "hot" rather than "kinda cute." My mom has been inspired by my success and is going to start using the site after one last high calorie weekend. I'd like to inspire her even more by showing her a…

Cheat day for last 10 lbs./woman?
I've been struggling to lose the last 10 lbs. for literally months. I discovered this diet last night. I seems awesome. However, I AM down to the last ten pounds so losing weight is much harder for me than it was thirty pounds ago. Also, I'm a woman so I have a lower goal weight, different hormones, and a different height…

Willpower Wins
Thanksgiving break gave me an excuse to binge. And when I binge I don't mess around. I gained about 5 lbs. :cry: But I've gotten myself together and I've stayed within my calorie goal and been healthy since Thanksgiving. So...I wanna hear your stories about times you were tempted to pig out and didn't. Times you used your…

Website answering "Is that vegan?" Qs
Hey so I'm wondering if there's a website out there that will tell you if the glycerin in that obscure and potentially yummy product you see at the store comes from animals or plants. Like a huge veganity determining determining database. Because there totally should be. This is kind of a holy grail for me. And your help…

Am I right? Is my binge day what's screwing up my weight lo
I upped my calorie intake as suggested and I got down to a nice 125 lbs. Then I had my weekly binge day and shot back up to 132 lbs :'( It's stayed like that for a couple days. I realize that before I started having weekly binge days I was losing weight just fine and since I've been having them, even though I attempt to…

Please help...HELP!!!!
I am 5 ft. 4.5 inches. My weight fluctuates between 130 and 129 lbs. My goal is 124 (may lower it once I get there, we'll see). I eat 1200 calories most days but once a week I eat 1200 extra calories and then compensate for that splurge by using all the exercise calories I earn the whole next week to "pay" for it. When I…

Eat more calories?
So I've heard a lot of people saying that they got through a plateau by eating more calories. I'm 129 lbs., currently eating 1200 a day, and not losing. My RMR is 1350. Should I eat more to lose faster/break through the plateau?

Vegan Cookbooks?/Low Calorie Vegan Ice Cream
It seems that most vegans are magically skinny. As a vegan who isn't that lucky, I've had trouble finding vegan cookbooks that include nutrition facts, specifically the # of calories per serving. The only one I've managed to find is Skinny B*tch, and I don't have the time to make the recipes in it. It would prefer a…

Weekly Calorie Count?
So normally I stay within my calorie limit six days a week, but one day a week I let myself splurge a little by eating about 1,200 extra calories and use the calories I burn from exercise the rest of the week to "pay" for it. This has helped me lose a lot of weight, but this week I plateaued. Can I expect to continue…
