I think Edward Norton was the absolute hottest in American History X.  He should have kept his neo-Nazi skinhead look as it really works for him.

Mine are:

Male- Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction)-- put butter on the man and sop him up like a biscuit

Female- Juliette Lewis

 Yes, yes, yes!  Edward Norton in American History X.  Oh the hawtness...

It sounds like you and I are in the same boat!  My wonderful BF and I live together and he has a mad sweet tooth for pastries, chocolate, ice cream, etc.  At my request he now hides the chocolate.  He also loves to also go out to eat (we live in San Francisco where there are so many fabulous restaurants) and when we first started dating I packed on about 50 pounds over a period of a couple of years!  And he'll always want to order an appetizer and/or dessert, and a bottle of wine.  We used to eat out about 3 times a week but now we've cut back because I'm more serious about losing weight and for economic reasons.  However, he does like to eat "healthy" too but our views on healthy eating differ because I was raised in the U.S. and he was raised in Spain.

He could stand to lose about 15-20 pounds, and I've lost 20 but want to lose another 50+ pounds.  He is very supportive of me but doesn't have the same struggles with food that I have.  I'm a binge eater where he is not.  He just plain doesn't eat when he's not hungry and, in fact, will forget about food that's in the cupboard when I know it's there and will obsess over it!!

Sounds like you have a great guy though, so best of luck!

Sometimes when we're hugging my BF will "pick me up" (but not carry me around) and I tell him to put me down or else he's going to put his back out!  But hopefully someday soon we'll be able to frolic around on the beach (with me in my bikini) and he can pick me up and lovingly swing me around.  Wheeeee! 

Alle:  Wow, that's awesome!  You look great and congrats on your engagement.

So now that you're lighter than him did you reveal your all-time highest weight or is that one going to the grave?  LOL

That's fabulous!!  You look great!!!

Have you taken your measurements?  If not, have someone take your measurements and then continue to do so every 3-4 weeks.  Muscle weighs more than fat, so while you may see your weight go up a bit in the beginning you'll notice that your clothes will start fitting better.  You're becoming a fat burning machine!  The more muscle you have on your body, the more fat you will burn even while resting.

So get that tape measure out now!  You've come a long way girl!  94 pounds in 2 years is awesome!  Keep it up!!!

Would anyone be up for going to the Aloha Festival the weekend of August 2nd-3rd?  It's at the Presidio and it's free!!  We could also do some hiking or bring our bikes. 

Whadaya think??  Check it out:  http://www.pica-org.org/AlohaFest/index.html

Skank Ride!  LOL  Good for you!  I skank out occasionally in our gym in the building where we live (don't even wear a bra because no one ever uses the gym early in the morning!)

Sure, Nat, I'm up for a ride real soon!  I think the "closest" BART station to me is Balboa Park or Daly City.  We can meet there and ride to the beach via Lake Merced.

I can do the weekend of 7/19!

Sounds fun!  I haven't been to Angel Island in years.  Maybe I'll bring my bike too.  I'm pretty sure I can make it - will let you know!

Yeah, I thought there were going to be more freebies!  LOL

Bib is cool though!

Okay - will see y'all at the CC at 7:30 in my jammies!

My friend did B2B a few years ago and said she saw some nekkid peeps and fondly remembers a dude who was quite "gifted"!

Don't forget your cameras!

Moogie:  So are we meeting at Mykonos' hotel instead of 83 Proof?  LOL

Ack!!!!  Ixnay on the sprinting in the buff through the park!  I don't want to scare anyone so I'll wait and peel off my costume when I'm in the ocean! 

I think we had mentioned the Ferry Building but it might be difficult to find each other.  Is your hotel near the Embarcadero?  If so, perhaps we can meet there?  And we should probably exchange cell numbers!

Okay, I'll work on a buggish costume of some sort!  I am toying with the idea of staying in the City a a hotel near the embarcadero to be close at hand when it is time to meet up, plus that weekend starts my "week of vacation" so I feel like splurging a little on having fun.

Michellesf, that is way cool of you to host a little soire after the walk, I'll chip in or bring a bottle of something (I can stick a bottle of wine in my camelback!!)

Hi Mykanos:  It's my pleasure to have a little shindig at my place.  We have plenty of vino but that's sweet of you to offer to bring something (that bottle might get a little heavy after 7 miles!)  We also have a lot of bottled water for the non-drinkers.  And, of course, the snacks will be healthy.  If we run out of foodies/libations, Safeway is across the street!

Where are you going on vacation?
