Is it too late to sign up? I'd love to join too.

I'm 5'-3" and 142lbs (as of this morning - I was 139 a couple weeks ago - grrrr).  It's taken me since January to lose 10lbs - I lose weight at a snail's pace.  For now my goal is 130 - it may change when I get there (I said "when" - yay!).

You're my twin!! yaaay! same height, weight and goal

Ugh I just got home from the gym (INTENSE WORKOUT!!!) but i ruined it by binge eating :( No more food for me today I ate all of my calories!!

I have a wedding to go to on Saturday so I need to be good for the next four days!!!

so next time you have sex, wear your heart monitor. 

that won't be awkward.

 Heh. Not as long as you try to avoid saying things like "Come on you wuss, one more rep...you can do it."

 or "come on! i'm so close...to 300 calories burned"

 LOL...you need to end the drought if you want to loose those last few pounds :P

THAT'S HILARIOUS!  Thanks guys! I'm glad I didn't miss reading this conversation.

 we are easily amused...

 

I'm not even joking guys, I'm totally going to do it... See my post next week, I promise not to disappoint!

I went with a reverse perm... I had a fro and now have sleek straight hair :P

The one thing that sucks is you can't dye your hair at all... or at least not in my case, and it dries out your scalp for the first week. 

This is by far one of the best and most fun motivation threads i've read... count me in! 12 pounds till 130!!!

hit the 20lbs loss mark! *HAPPY DANCE*

Sweet deal on the job :)

Never ignore the naked lady beside you in the gym locker room...

often when something is low fat, they increase something else, like sugar.  i don't know what the label on that pb says so i can't really say how comparable that is.  but i still say it's worse than natural pb, even if natural has more calories. 

and that's actually about the same amount of cals as natural pb is, only the kraft one is full of various unhealthy ingredients i'm sure, where as natural pb is just peanuts and maybe salt.

always best to stick to natural and least processed

I'm going to go that route when this one is finished, but fyi the sugar content is still only 1gram... I don't doubt theres a million other ingredients in there but figured it was worth a shot. Natural PB it is.

Okay everyone so I have a question about this too, I love kraft peanut butter and I know it's not all natural, but I've been going with the low fat one which has about 90 calories for 1 tbsp and 6 grams of fat, is it just as bad?

Wow Devious what a great article!!! Not just for young women, but for all women. I often have been angry at societie's expectation of being slim. However I am just as guilty at judging myself by those same standards and complimenting others on their weight loss instead of looking healthier. While I am not attempting to be super skinny, I am still inflluenced by the media, so sad.

I'm not sure I was ever a 0 I was a 3 once many many years ago and I am only 5 feet tall. at 108 I look like a sick cow, all hips and concave stomach...........not attractive at all.  My husband actually doesnt want me to go under 130 and that is still considered overweight for my height.

Anyway, life is not about a size, it is about being happy and a size cannot make you happy.

I completely agree. I'm 5'3 and 147, i'm aiming for 130 which is the "limit" (if you will) for my height. Even then though, I think i'll be a 4 at the most if i'm lucky and that has me thrilled. A zero for most women is sickly! But all this time i've learnt that numbers don't matter. We obsess with the numbers FAR too much... the only ones with should bother with are the lost inches.

Actually, the CNN website also says it's unconfirmed.

they just confirmed with the coroner... :(

I quote CNN at this exact second: "none of the family has said anything and no one has said anything. I cannot confirm anything."

Sadly, HIS death will overshadow Farrah's in the media.

I completely agree... Farrah was an icon and for the next week all we'll hear is about his death.

On the other hand he was a HUGE icon for pop music and dancing... this day is just intense...

Okay so can someone help me clarify. Depending on the conversions I use, sometimes it tells me 163 cm is 5'3'' and other times that it's 5'4'' and other times still that it's 5'3.5''. How tall are you guys in cms? What's the normal way to calculate it?

I'm just below 5'3 by like milimeters lol and i'm 160 cm
