The only literary hell I recall from school is the abyss I experienced when our class was forced to read "The Old Man and the Sea" (shudders)....

oh my god that was awful...i hated that book with such a passion.

doritos

i cannot buy a bag without it mysteriously dissapearing within hours (and that's the family size bag)...i really think they may be the reason i weigh about 50 lbs more than i would like to...maybe i will try and give them up for a few days and see what happens

ok, i don't know if i can do that!

thank you for your great replies, especially ladyashleigh918!

i will certaintly try those things!

...amasingly supportive Alex catches. If I send him out on a candy run, he always checks the label and brings back something decent in calories. For the longest time he wouldn't buy me a Twix because he thought it was 260 or whatever calories PER cookie. I eventually pointed out to him that it was for both of 'em.

 oh my god! you have like, the best boyfriend ever! you hang on to that! (although i know you are)

the best my boy can do is be-grudgningly bring me a bag of doritos around 'that time of the month' and remind me that i shouldn't be eating them as i dive in...but what can we say, i'm the dominant one *shrug*

although he does go out of his way to find new 'good' foods for me a wal*mart (where he works), like quakes rice cakes and easy mac (high in sodium, but only 220 cals, and a nice warm lunch sometimes just hits the spot) so it's not all bad,

i was just thinking how amazingly sweet of him! good catch!

so, that site says my BMR is: 1473.05 cals

but this site says I should eat 1250 a day...i am so confused!

i am 5 foot tall, 147 pounds, and i was loosing good at 1200 cals or so till about 12 days ago when i just stalled! which has been SUPER FRUSTRATING for me, as i'm sure you can imagine (as i'm sure it would be for anyone!)

i am down from 165 lbs. to 147lbs. ...and i started this thing, i'd say around thanksgiving. everything was going so well till just these past two weeks...

maybe this BMR thing is the problem? i tried a few 'free days' to jump-start it, and that hasn't seemed to work that well...should i be eating more? like in the 1400 cal range? that seems like ALOT to me...? (mind you, i am only 5 foot tall, with a small frame, and my goal is 110-105) what do i do to get it going again!? i am so stressed over this!

any help is wonderfully appreciated!

...There are exceptions to this but they involve being under 5' with a slender build or being under the care of a doctor or nutritionist...

 wait! i thought 1200 was a hard number...like "don't go under this or else!!" kinda thing...

i'm 5' tall, (no inches, some days more like 4' 11.5", depending on who measures) and i have a small frame (well, under the pudge that my dorito addiciton has gifted me with) so are you saying i could actually eat a little under 1200 and be ok?

sorry this has nothing to do with the original post, i just never heard there may be an exception to this 1200 rule, i lost well on about 1000-1100, maybe a little more calories a day, and then i heard (here, on CC) that it was bad to go under 1200, so i upped it, and now i'm loosing very slowly or not at all...

thank you for any input you can offer me as to this! thanks! 

mine:

at burgerking (i used to work there, forever ago) i would get chicken tenders and honey dipping sauce and ranch dipping sauce. then i would dip a tender first in the honey then in the ranch. man, was it ever good.

forgive me, but I have a way to curb hunger AND burn cals at night... and in the middle of the day if the hubby is home... but I won't go into it here.

 

 and in the morning, and in the afternoon, and...

he he he he...

my amazing boyfriend, Zachary--

     he nearly died, but is still here with me. i was nearly lost, but he took me back. sometimes i'm frigid, and he warms me. when i bahave badly, he reminds me that i'm a good person. when i behave really badly, he calls me on it. he reminds me that life should be 2 parts fun, and 1 part work. he calls me his princess.

and, he tells me i'm doing good on my diet.

they took:

Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper...

if they took:

Diet Pepsi Jazz (any flavor)

Easy Mac

Lean Pockets

mini-bags of Doritos

Fruit and Yogurt Special K

Mc Donald's Side Salads

Spray Dressing

i would be so sad! don't take my fooOOOood

OH MY GOD! that happens to me too! the thing where you wear skirts or shorts and your legs rub together and you get that rash-thing and it hurts SO BAD!

so, that's one of my reasons, but by far not the only or even weirdest one

i was an exotic dancer for about 4 years. i've been gone from that industry for about a year and a half, and i REALLY want to be back in it (i know, i'm crazy, but i just love the attention, the money, THE DANCING! i love to dance, to feel the music with your whole being and just go with it. i know, it's weird) but i don't feel the place i want to work at would hire me at this weight. (160ish, 5' tall). so i want to loose weight to pursue that part-time.

another odd reason i have is competition with my sisters. my little sister is 17 (i’m 23), taller than me, and weighs in at about 120. Grrr. 

oh, and i want to be able to have sex on top. now, it's just uncomfortable, all the fat-ness bouncing around where he can see it...i know, i know, he dosen't care, he still wants to have sex with you---bla bla bla---it bothers me intensely.

Cheek bones. i used to have these amazing, high cheekbones. now you can't see them because of my chipmunk cheeks. i also photographed better.

mini-skirts. as is, my butt is so big, it makes them ride up alot in the back, so even if they are long enough in the front, they are obsene from the back.
