The Lounge	Come here to complain about anything and everything!	Apr 23 2009 17:02 (UTC)	2
Keep it coming! I feel so relieved just reading all of these, and lyma_bean, I would LOVE to come to your petting zoo. Back in Newfoundland I have a horse, husky/and mized breed, cat, ferret and chickens waiting for me! :P. I just walked out of work today, excuse "I feel like crap"! I was so SICK of hearing the BEEP for when someone from the Toronto Star calls and complains. I am being paid to be B****ed at. I am at the bottom of the economical food chain. And yes, I hate not having a libido as well flowergirl21. It must be the birth control. I'm to the point where I don't want my boyfriend to touch me, and THAT'S bad. I hate constipation. :)
Motivation	The Office!	Feb 14 2009 02:11 (UTC)
Yeah! I am working for 7.5 hours as well! (sorry for the late reply ). I have a plan. 30 minutes to walk to work. That is what I will always do, unless it's dark and scary. My breaks, I will go to washroom, and do squats lol. I always have done this during my work times. I am working in a call center (Blech!!) I help people in Toronto with their newspaper billing problems (Toronto Star). I deal with bitchy people all day. That's exhausting mentally, so in the end of the day, I will feeel tired, but nothing a coffee can't fix. Mehehehe. I want to lose 5 pounds to get to my ideal weight. Maybe pack light snacks. What kind of snacks are there out there that are not going to turn into fat while I sit on me arse. Lunch, 30 minutes. I bring lunch most times. Sandwich, granola bars. Anything that is low in calories, but nutritous??? What do you do andrusca?? I need support! Back up!
Health & Support	Mole scab mystery, someone help!	Feb 14 2009 02:04 (UTC)	1
That's the plan man. Although, I did visit the doc. He said, allll is well. BUT, me and that little light mole are still rivals. That is inevitable, and will be an on going glaring battle! glares once more and shakes fist
Health & Support	Mole scab mystery, someone help!	Feb 13 2009 16:10 (UTC)	3
LOL, I have an appointment today. He's going to laugh at me though lol, it looks perfectly normal now, only lighter! I never picked the whole mole off shudders ugh! just the white filmy stuff. I can't find noone anywhere who had this happen to them. But there's one thing for certain.... that mole is now my new archenemy, I'm on to it that's for sure! *does a squinty glare at the mole"
Health & Support	Something I would like to stress	Feb 13 2009 08:06 (UTC)	1
Hello! I totally agree with you, check with your doctor if you have any concern about yourself. CC is a great place of support. I have posted up some topics on stuff in which I am concerned about, but not for someone to help diagnose me or anything, people here are posting stuff ( I think I'm not speaking for the majority here now) to see if anyone maybe can relate. Being able to relate or hear other people's stories can be uplifting, just getting it out, your concerns, also helps. For example, it's 4 am here now, I just posted about some unusual mole, hoping someone can relate, no way I can see a doctor now, I just want support from fellow CC-ers (CC-ettes, CC-ians???lol) This site is also about helping people with ED problems, or letting us know their side of the story (that's what I'm getting at anyways), so I'm pretty sure to them it's obvious they should see a doctor (if not, they shouldn't be bitching.) I hope this doesn't sound saucy! I don't mean for it too :) Take care -Amber S
Weight Loss	I'm done...can't take this anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	Feb 12 2009 03:14 (UTC)	3
lol.. my words were censored. I'm watching a movie right now called "this movie is not yet rated". Just funny that's all. I'm sure you probably figured it's supposed to be some more coarse than, "frig this friggin' poop" lol
Weight Loss	I'm done...can't take this anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	Feb 12 2009 03:13 (UTC)	4
That's great news! I have had lots of food guilt as well, and my mom always said " no food guilt for me" , the more she said it, the more I realized she was confident, the more I felt confident. So, parents defiantly affect the way you feel about yourself I think. I'm glad your stomping your foot on the ground, and declaring the end of the obsession!! When I stopped my ED, I felt like screaming "** THIS **!!" now that I think about it, I probably did lol. yay for us.
Motivation	Possibly the best song ever..	Feb 09 2009 17:42 (UTC)	3
Is this turning into a "yes I agree or disagree" thread , or a "my favorite workout/motivational tune" thread. I'll do both! :) I like the song, but the best tune to stay motivated for me , is "Don't stop thinking about tomorrow" by Fleetwood Mac :D
The Lounge	Finding a hair in my fries!	Feb 08 2009 00:29 (UTC)	6
I see a hair, I take it out. I continue eating. Shrugs I worked in a restraunt, hair is no big deal-e-oooooo
Foods	How much alcohol do you drink a week?	Feb 08 2009 00:24 (UTC)	22
Eggg, old forum (who cares) Me, I drink 4 drinks a week. I never gained, I'm losing, I still feel healthy, and I become totally relaxed during that night (or split between two nights). No hangover, good times.
Weight Loss	Alcohol?	Feb 08 2009 00:22 (UTC)
Wow this is a old forum. Frig that though, allow yourself 2 drinks at least one night of the week. You'll relax (one shot=64 calories, so together you'll only consume 128 calories!) For me, I will risk one night of consuming 128 calories worth of alcohol to relax. :) We're only human! These small delicases make us happy lol
Motivation	The Office!	Feb 05 2009 22:31 (UTC)	5
Ahhh the cubicle life. Me and my boyfriend used to work in a call center together, so on breaks, we'd walk around in the nature trail and spend quality time together, I know that's out of the question, (he's working somewhere else and I am in the city). Maybe I can "wiggle in my chair" or squeeze my cheeks, or whatever. For some reason I'm thinking I won't lose anything, but I won't gain anything. The never ending dreaded plateau. Eck
Motivation	The Office!	Feb 05 2009 17:21 (UTC)	10
"Just Do It" hey? Smoke hey? I think I'll stick to the Just Do It. I had the same problem working in a restaraunt, "why the hell do these people keep leaving me during supper rush?!?!" yup, devastating. So I started taking "smoke" breaks. So unfortunantly, I only applied to 2 (out of like 25 active jobs) sit at your desk jobs, and I got one.
Foods	Is it only me?	Feb 05 2009 15:19 (UTC)	16
Mmmm, I agree with Gem86, homemade trail mix, Or any type of trail mix! I defiantly approve of real food, mainly, those energy boosters/bars cost an arm and a leg, and I am so poor! I can get like, 3 apples for that price lol. . Energy drinks leave me bloated (what's the best in your opinion???)
Weight Loss	Skipping Breakfast	Feb 02 2009 21:09 (UTC)	1
I skip breakfast! I love it, I don't over eat in the day, I don't get hungry the way I do when I do eat breakfast! I have a forum post about not eating breakfast as well
Motivation	What's your calorie intake?	Feb 02 2009 21:03 (UTC)	4
Ahh, I don't ever binge as well, which I am very proud of!. I also keep a count in my head on such days. Well, sometimes I would eat very little during breakfast and lunch (maybe 150 each! O: ) and "cheat" on supper. I guess I still go over, but not by too much. You never know how many extra drinks you'd be having afterward
Motivation	What's your calorie intake?	Feb 02 2009 20:21 (UTC)	6
I'm supposed to be burning 1400 while doing crap all all day. Ends up being 2200 all day though. That seems a bit high and I feel like I should be losing weight as well! I usually have one small cheat thing a day. Some days it's a small hot chocolate, maybe a piece of chocolate, or a slice of cheese or something ... That and I cheat every Friday. What do people mean by cheat day though? To me it's a beer and pizza lol, or is that "over the top" and should be like "have some cheese on your vegan burger" type of thing ......
Weight Loss	Okay now, let's get real please!	Jan 31 2009 14:20 (UTC)
I am 19 years old, it was only 4 months ago when I was 105, and I gained since then, I don't go to school or anything, so I can't even blame freshman 15 lol. If my body likes me the way I am and won't budge anymore, then my body's out to get me. I am not happy like this, so it better start budging. I am a very small build, barely any curves/bum/breasts (my sister stole them from me!) BUT, it would be nice to enjoy my body the way it is now until then. I just want to know if I am actually doing this right I guess lol. siiiighhhh
Weight Loss	Okay now, let's get real please!	Jan 31 2009 05:06 (UTC)	3
AAANNNNNNND I don't want to hear any "by the books replies" they are too generic to me and never work out. Like "eat breakfast" "eat 1200 calories" I eat more than 1200 calories, and by eating breakfast, I eat like 500 more calories than what I am supposed to. Let's all be honest okay?!
Motivation	Ughh. I always lose weight and my thighs become skinny and then ...	Jan 24 2009 21:21 (UTC)	2
ARGH! I know how you feel! Except when I gain any weight what so ever, it builds up on my hips and my thighs blub out! Thighs are so hard to work out. I managed it once though (yes, there is hope!) I even managed to get rid of cellulite !(I am now one with the stretch marks, might as well live with 'em lol) What worked for moi: Exercise ball, put it between your ankles and do the bridge. Squeeze ball. Adjust yourself so that you can feel your hamstrings/inner thighs "burning." Works your bum too! Other ideas: (If you don't have a exercise ball or access to gym) Lunges. Squats. Running/StairMaster (I hate elliptical s, they do **** all for me). Weights that strap on your ankles and walk with them. Lunge with them, god sakes do something with them! lol Hope this helped, -Amber S.
Weight Loss	What do skinny people do with all that free time???	Jan 24 2009 21:15 (UTC)	3
Still do the same old stuff everyone else does. Counts calories/exercise. Except now, you would be maintaining! It's a pain in the arse!
Weight Loss	Binge in positive light....	Jan 24 2009 04:54 (UTC)
Original Post by j-fizz: ...right, i was going to come on here n rant about my binge habit that i thought i had kicked coming back...but you know what? it's actually not THE END OF THE WORLD...so i over ate today...i might go over my daily cals slightly, but it's the first time in a long time, and no doubt this over indulgence will boost my metabolism and not do any long term damadge...so there you are, im not going to get depressed about it, and neither should you if you've binged too! I'm probably late for this post lol. But here we go. This is how I think about it, to make myself feel better. Okay, so I ate (for example) 2000 calories today. All in all today I burned 2210. 210 calorie defict (ignore the for example lol this actually happened yikes!!! hits self) (I think I burned more .every 10 minutes I do 30 situps and lunges) ANYWHO, 210 defict, at least it's not a pound. Think of it like that. Did I eat like 3,500 calories today? NO, and if you did, you burned half of it. I think a pound is easy to lose, much easier to gain mind you. But a new day, a new start, drink lots of water, it makes me bloated but at least Im thinking "hey, it's only water, not water retention and fat lol." :D
Weight Loss	2000 calorie deficit, is that a bad thing?	Jan 23 2009 16:04 (UTC)	2
2000 defict?! I wish I can have a 2000 defict! Unfortunantly I would be non-existent if I did :O I only spend an hour at the gym, 1/2 cardio, 1/2 weights. What's your normal days like? Deficts?
Weight Loss	Breakfast, my new enemy!	Jan 20 2009 04:21 (UTC)	1
Original Post by peaches0405: Amber. What are your stats? Are you still a teen? I'm asking because 1200 calories is at the very minimum that you as a female should be eating. If you are a teen, then the minimum is actually 1500. So that means that it is possible that when you are eating breakfast and hitting closer to 1300-1500, you might actually be eating what you are supposed to be eating. Hello! I am 19 years old, caloriecount is telling me to eat at least 1200. I eat now 1200-1400 everyday. I mix it up. My stats, 121lbs 5'3'', trying to lose some weight because I know I would love my body again :). califpam: I find that with bread, I just CRAVE more bread. I am trying to bring in more proteins, I hid my bread away (usually out in the bag) and I do have oatmeal that I am trying to eat :)
Weight Loss	Breakfast, my new enemy!	Jan 18 2009 18:45 (UTC)	13
Usually for breakfast , when I did have breakfast, I would have two eggs(one is just pathetic), whole grain toast and a clementine. Or Oatmeal and crap loads of coffee. Or whole grain cereal with fruit. All healthy (except for coffee aka. my sanity) LOL Don't be concerned LOL, just a preference that's all, still healthy. Oh yeah, and if I don't eat 1200 calories in one day, it's not the end of the world for me. I read the link above and I'm thinking of fasting once a month, or week. I need to talk to my doctor about it.
Weight Loss	Breakfast, my new enemy!	Jan 18 2009 03:24 (UTC)	23
Agreed! Starting tomorrow, no breakfast. I'l have my breakfast food for supper, light and easy :D
The Lounge	Kiss your sister!!!!!!!!!	Jan 18 2009 03:13 (UTC)	6
Original Post by jewelsmcblah: Outside of a grocery store once, my nephew saw a rather large lady who had flabby arms. He looks at my sister and me and says, "Man! That lady's got big muscles!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh wow, I havn't "lol" in a while on computer, my roommates I think are questioning my sanity right about now. I hate real fur on coats, I did ever since I was a kid. When I was younger if someone who was wearing fur walked by, I would point and yell, "Look MOM she's wearing FUR!!!" If a old lady walked by wearing fur I would not point and scream because apparently "they didn't know any better" HAHAHAHA
Weight Loss	Here's another carb rant!!!	Jan 17 2009 23:14 (UTC)
Hello, I know one of my pictures say "115 lbs now" but that was then lol. I am now 121, and I don't like it. I'm generally a happy person, we all "beat" ourselves up and some point. *johnnypenso when you say eat whole grains, what kinds do you suggest, I have the bread, the regular oatmeal, intsant, chips, cracker (It's not grocery week for me haha) . My whole grain bread is not to bad when it comes to calories: 2 slices= 180 calories. I am trying to be toned, and to be 112lbs.. I know carbs are not too bad, (good kinds) Raisins are mostly sugar, they are just addicting! So I portioned them off in bags (like i do with everything, whole grain chips/crackers/etcetcetc) Damn, they are so good. Fresh veggies are fruit are just to friggin' expensive!! Arg. Arg to being poor. lol -Amber Thanks everyone for posting replies.
Weight Loss	Here's another carb rant!!!	Jan 17 2009 02:01 (UTC)	8
Yay! Keep 'em coming guys :)Making me feel better. Is 210 g your average amount of carbs allnaturalgirl02? Do you find you lose weight on 210approx.? I remember a while back I ate 250 and it was fine. I guess I am just panicing because now I am used to 150 and below. , I want to know how many grams of carbs everyone eats to help them lose weight. I heard 100 grams is the most, but clearly that it ludacris, and if you're like me, I cannot function with only 100grams of carbs
