Updating now because I've been on vacation for the past while and couldn't update till now. Not surprised at ALL that I gained - I ate like crap the entire time I was away, it wasn't pretty. But now that I'm home I'm planning to get right back on track with both eating well and exercising, since I didn't do any exercise while I was gone other than a bit of light swimming. :\ But it was still a great trip, even if everything I ate was baaaddddd.

Ears at 1/2" and tongue. Used to have my eyebrow done until I got it caught in a badminton net and decided that maybe it was time to get rid of it. Very unpleasant.

dplatzer: Well, the few weeks before I had still been drinking diet soda and a LOT of sugary juices (I mean TONS of it, I was addicted to juice!), but this past week I stopped drinking that stuff all together and started drinking water every time I was thirsty. Other than that my diet has been pretty much the same so far!

Yay! I thought for sure I would gain this week, since I haven't been as active as I was last week. I've really gotta start running/biking every day again!

Congrats everyone! :]

I can warmly  recommend doing weighted squats with your feet slightly farther apart than normally

This is probably going to sound really stupid, but how exactly do you do "weighted squats"?

I was in the same boat you are when I got mine on, but as long as you brush 2-3 times a day and make sure that you use the little pipe-cleaner brush they give you, you'll be fine. Also, if the colour of your teeth really bugs you when your braces are off, some places whiten them for like $200.

I'm 5'7" (close enough) and weigh 124lbs. Back when I was suffering from my ED I weighed somewhere around 100lbs and even then I felt gross. I slowly worked my way up to around 110-115lbs, and hated it, but now I wish I could be back there!

As of right now I'm 21, and I am not happy with my body. It's not so much my weight that bugs me (it is a little) but it's more the general appearance of my body. Even though my weight isn't THAT bad, I would rather my body look tighter - where I am now is that I may be "slim" but everything is all jiggly and gross.

Anything metal : Childen of Bodom, Atreyu, etc. Really works for me anyways.

Yeahhhh, Bodom! It's rare that I find other people who like to work out to metal. All my friends find it strange when they see Slipknot or In Flames on my gym playlist. :P

Ours is "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. Suuuch an amazing song. And if you've never heard it before, don't judge because it's Metallica. It's actually really slow and the lyrics are great.

Let me just say that when I was about to move into a college dorm for the first time I was TERRIFIED. I'm a very shy person, and I don't leave much of a lasting first impression, so I was scared that I wouldn't make any friends and that I would be sitting alone in my room all the time while everyone else was partying. My first night in the dorm I cried all night - I missed my friends from home, my family, and I thought college would be hell. But after a few days (not weeks, days!) I was at a floor meeting and met a ton of cool people. Most of them felt the same way as I did; that they were too shy to meet others, but once we were all put in the same room together, we got along great. By the end of the year, my entire floor was all good friends and we would have parties all the time. So don't worry, as much as you're afraid, just be yourself and talk to some people. It is so worth it! I'm going into my third year of college this fall and I'm still friends with most of the people I met that first year.

Good luck to ya. :)

It goes by soooo quick. Looking back at my freshman year, it seems like it went by before I could blink an eye.

This is so true. I graduated high school three years ago, and it went by so fast! I loved high school, but I know some people who didn't. Remember that everyone in your grade is nervous too about meeting new people and all that. And don't worry about the older kids - they will act like they think they're better than you (which they do) but 99% of the time they won't do anything about it. Just make friends and have fun! Enjoy it while it lasts.

Weigh-in timmeee.

SW     06/26     07/03     07/10  
130    129.4     126.9      126.2

0.2lb loss? Man, my weight fluctuated like crazy this past week! It went from 126.9 to 124.8, 127.8, 124.6, and now 126.2. I don't know how to explain that stupid fluctuation, but at least my weight is a little bit lower than last weigh-in!

Great job everyone! :D

i occasionally watch a tv show called "the last ten pounds bootcamp" where a personal trainer and nutritionist help out a woman who's trying to lose that last ten pounds, and one of the things the trainer does is put the combined weight of all the crap she was eating into a backpack and make her go on a hike or a long run. i've always thought it was a good idea but never thought to try it myself, now i might!

i always go for the same guy - the "dark rocker" type. black jeans or camo pants, band tee/hoodie, combat boots. short spiked hair or sorta longer and shaggy, but not skater shaggy. tattoos and piercings are always sexy, and so is eyeliner on my guy when he's on stage singing! all smudgy and hot...delish.

The Lounge The Camera vs. The Mirror Jul 03 2008

My friend and I were talking about this the other day - sometimes we look in the mirror and think, 'hey, I look damn good right now, I should take a picture to mark this momentous occasion,' and then we take a picture of ourselves and it's just..unpleasant. Even if we hold the camera at the exact same position as where the mirror is, the picture still looks awful.

So yes, mirror and I = bff as well.
