I second the cute dresses, every girl needs a LBD, and as you get smaller you can just accessorize with belts and sashes. I also have plenty of comfortable, cotton skirts, you can wear even when you're feeling fat and not have to look at your thighs!

Okay, I have IBS and this has never happened to me. I will get really bad cramps and be very irregular, especially on my period, but never as bad as you say.

Usually the worst I feel is when I eat something that upsets my stomach, coffee is my kryptonite. But what is going on with you sounds much more serious and annoying. I'd definitely talk to your doctor.

Everytime I see it I just want to tell the guy that he is going aganist his morals by allowing himself to eat that bun, lettuce, tomato and onions - how dare he!

Actually, I think the point of the burger is there ARE no veggies on it, just the meat, even more disgusting...

I used to have this problem, I think it was from my feet sliding forward and my toes pressing against the front lip of the foot pads. I just make sure to slide my feet back once in awhile.

Oh, I love Macs too, I had a Macbook and adored it. But it just recently broke down and I had to buy a new computer and Macs are just too expensive for me right now. My Compaq is okay, but I miss my Mac so much!!! I HATE Windows Vista!

I saw this post and PRAYED there were no extra calories in the flavored coffee beans. I live by my chocolate macadamia coffee. I shop at WinCo and they have a huge thing of all different flavored beans that you can ground yourself, yum. I love this stuff! It's like a little snack for me.

Yeah I lived in London for 3 months and it was so hard, I'm just used to there being tons of variety and choices for all my food. And there are the few things I love that I couldn't find anywhere: Diet Mt. Dew and Baked Cheddar Sour Cream Ruffles, it was torture!!!

But hey, I was living in London so it was worth it!

The Chipotle Southwest Sauce (all one word) is the best tasting imo, but second worst for you after the regular mayo.

The Red Wine Vinegarette is okay I think, a lot of stores don't have it anymore, just the Red Wine Vinegar and Olive Oil, which there's really nothing in the vinegar so can't imagine it would be bad for you. I never get it though, blah, tastes funny.

I work at Subway and I find that they are my highest calorie days. The sandwich calorie they show doesn't take into account any of the condiments or cheese and assumes you are getting all the veggies.

The only way I find to have a really healthy sandwich is with no cheese, no sauce except yellow mustard or deli mustard, all the others may be fat free but are very high in calories, especially the sweet onion sauce, it is SO sweet and full of sugar.

Obviously they are a LOT better than your average McDonalds or Burger King, but don't think that since you're going to Subway it's automatically healthy. ONLY the sandwiches on the 6 Grams of Fat or below menu are truly very good for you. And the Tuna, one of the worst, we put in SO much mayo it's disgusting.

Your best bet is a veggie with one slice of cheese and deli mustard, that's what I usually get, and pepperjack and American are a lot lower calorie than the cheddar.

Hope this helps!

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Liv Tyler. They are real looking and beautiful and healthy. Some of the women mentioned disgust me, Nicole Richie, Angeline Jolie...they are so sickly skinny I want to shove a burger down their throats! Did you even see Wanted with Angelina? I thought her arms was going to break every time she punched poor James McAvoy!

This is my problem, most of the times I buy things like chips and salsa, cereal, and yogurt that I know I will eat for a snack. Maybe I should plan out things. Once school starts up I'm going to be on the go, away from my house a lot more, that's when i do the luna bars, tasty and filling and SO good for you.

Hey! So I'm 22, 5'9" 190 lbs. I'm hoping to get down to 150 by May 30. 

Can't wait to weigh in on the 22nd, I've been working really hard to not snack too much, which I always do when I'm bored, and to get in a least 20 minutes exercise in.

Good luck to us all!

Hey, I'm pretty new too. I love the calorie counter tool too. I'm so excited to get home after work and enter all my calories for the day!

I've developed a new passion for workout dvds too! I've been doing a pilates one lately, it came with a rubber band and everything for cool strength exercises! I also love to play ddr, sometimes I'll play for like 2hours straight! My main thing now is that I need to do more cardio though and it's really hard because it's been so hot here, I'm afraid to go outside!
