Is there anything else to include other than the account ID (which I thought was my name) and the mail it's been registered with? I guess the weekend isn't a very good time to send such a request, but just making sure I didn't miss anything.

Please excuse me for my impatience. 

I also refuse to believe it makes you store fat around your belly area.

I drink coffee regularly and I have pear-shaped figure.

i thought this was going to be about eating jars of baby food.

which i have done sometimes. mostly the fruit kinds. i know it might be weird. but they are good.

 Those are awesome! They're my regular breakfast on college. I can munch on them for ages, they have no sugar added and are packed with vitamins. And their taste is simply yummy.

People would make fun of me for that, but who cares! I find this a way better snack than 3-days-old pre-packed sandwiches from the vending machine they eat.

I also like that they come in glass containers, which I recycle :) 

I also don't like people liking my looks, except for my boyfriend. For some odd reason I was never comfortable flirting and all my relationships and one-night-stands were either a really fast decision without any romantic overture or evolved from a friendship.

I can't stand if someone is trying to dance with me and avoid all possible situations where other people would flirt (I must look so boring!). Should someone I know start to show signs of wishing to be more than just friends with me, I tend to start avoiding them..

My boyfriend always tells me if someone's hitting on me, but I don't even really see that. I just think they're talking to me because they need advice or stare at me because I'm wearing mismatched clothes or whatever. But my boyfriend says he knows what they really want, since he's a man, haha :) He also claims that by the time I notice someone is flirting with me, they must already be madly in love with me (that's from his personal experience :)).

On the other hand I can't just go around and talk about my bf all the time to show people (of whom 99% I think don't find me anything special anyway) that I'm already taken.

And the important thing is how I see my body, not everyone else. I know I want better abs and that my boobs will probably be A cup then and that my boyfriend would prefer me to stay the way I am, but it's about how I feel because of myself, not anyone else.

Breakfast: fresh pineapple, coffee with lots of milk, cashews

Snack: dried plums

Lunch: rocket salad with blue cheese, walnuts, vinegar and olive oil, whole-grain bread

Snack: pineapple, protein powder with milk

Dinner: salad made of tomato, red and white cabbage, green pepper, red beans and chicory with olive oil and vinegar

I guess you're not the type of person that gains in their legs, but your thighs are still pretty skinny in my opinion :x (and I'm a girl!)

Otherwise I think you look good!

And congratulations for your succes! :)

I don't like gyms at all, the air, bacteria, sweat of so many unknown people... brr. I like exercising alone, except my bike trips into the unknown.

I cycle daily and run almost every day and when the weather permits it, I go hiking, play badminton outside, rollerskate and kick hacky-sack.

I hate the awful air we have in my city in the winter, though. Thick fog all the time and all the city pollution are terrible. I normally run across some field at the brink of the city where are no cars, but the air is still bad since my city is located in a hollow
On the other hand it's the same air in the gyms, except that it smells of sweat rather than exhaust gases.

I don't really care if someone eats meat or not (my boyfriend does, for example). But the mass-production of excessive amounts of livestock that doesn't even all get eaten is wrong. It just follows the popular trend that there always has to be more than we actually need.

And those, who defend the opinion that global warming is natural and good, I'm sure you'd speak otherwise when natural disasters as a consequence of climate changes would wipe away your hometown.

I hope I don't sound rude, but English isn't my native language.

Bike riding has some added inducements: you can use your bike for commuting and errands. I know some folks who use bikes for everything (I'm not there yet). Plus, bike riding can be a pleasurable social experience. You'll find riding groups of every age and abiity. I've made many good friends on these rides. They're just fun and make me want to get out on my bike.

I'm one of those people. I hate cars and I dislike our public transport. I use a city bike to get around the town (the old one even had a basket, very handy) and a mountain bike for pleasure trips into the nature.

If you take the morning/afternoon traffic into account, I actually get to college faster than I would with public transport and faster than even with a car since you can't really park in the city or it's ridiculously expensive.

I always hated gyms, they give me the impression of a fungus and bacteria-filled cans full of sweaty people.. Didn't mean to offend anyone, sorry, but I'm almost scared of them.

That's why I either do exercise at home (yoga, karate, hulla hoop, stepper, weights, rope jumping) or jog, ride my bike or play footbag. I alternate these as I feel. I like home exercising because it's inexpensive and you can do it any time of the day without having to get through traffic to the gym and back.

Footbag is a really fun sport. You get your whole body moving and you can do it in company or alone, working on all sorts of tricks. You also basically have no expenses with it.

I started running a few months ago, knowing I won't be able to ride bike in the nature when the days are so short, but I can always run in the evening. Some energic music does it and I always take a different path so I don't become bored too easily.

But I simply have a slice of tofu and 40 minutes later I'm chewing on some vegetables and 20 minutes from then on I'm munching on almonds.. It's just so much easier for me to wash just one plate and not cook anything complicated (I really dislike cooking! I don't cook vegetables at all, I just heat them)

It's just a bit annoying to have to wash my teeth so much.

I gained about 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks, or so the scale tells me. I had a cold and almost didn't move for a week, ew.

When I calculated, how much I ate daily, I felt pretty bad, so stopped logging it. Now I added it for previous days and it's not even much. So I'm guessing it's all just water weight
