I've only ever worn soft contacts, so I'm not in that boat with you. I agree that I forget I'm wearing them most of the time. I have also heard that you can get bi/tri-focal contacts. They're weighted somehow so that when you look down you get the reading glasses part or something. I'm sure your eye doctor could help you out better than we can!

On another note, reading glasses are a pain in the ****! I complained about my eyes being tired after being at the computer all day, so my eye dr suggested wearing them at work. I couldn't ever get used to not looking through them when I looked away though. So I stopped wearing them, they were too annoying. Buut it did get my boss to order me a new monitor ;)

Oh I know, and I am. It's just what's really really really pissing me off today. I've been looking for over a year.

What's pissing me off today are the f-ing roll over ads that I keep on accidently rolling over, then they lock up my computer while they're loading and I can't get anything done while I sit there staring at my computer waiting for them to catch up to the fact that I've escaped them.

THIS **** INTERNET EXPLORER PIECE OF NON RESPONDING **** NEEDS TO STRAIGHTEN THE HELL UP HOLY ****.

You both need to go get firefox and then get the add on "add blocker plus". It will solve all of your problems.

awesome. I'll check it out when I get home. That cached version should be helpful at least for those descriptions.

you could try adding some protein/fats to your fruit. Eat some peanut butter on your apple or toss some fruit in yogurt/cottage cheese.

Try out different veggies. celery & pb is good, green pepper slices with ranch is awesome.

nuts are good for a snack and there are so many varieties.

granola bars are good, just watch out for the evil (hfcs) that is in most brands. kashi is one of the few (at least in my store) that doesn't have it. or you can make your own.

I'm pissed that I have to go back to work tomorrow. I've been on vacation and I don't want to go back! wahhh don't make me!

Also, I'm the one who takes back cans/bottles (we have a deposit here) whenever it's full and I go shopping. A little while ago, BF's family was bugging us to get married and he made a deal - if they pay for us to go to ireland (they're taking a trip next year), we'll get married there. So then last week, his parents gave him a crapload of empty bottles to put toward the "ireland fund". And I had to take them back! Annnd when I went, there was chaos in the bottle return room - machines were broken, everything was full, dumb slow people... If they think that that counts as them "paying for" ireland, they are sadly mistaken.

haha glad I got to rant a bit...

I have a top and shorts from walmart. they were probably around $10 each. You might be able to find something cheaper that isn't specific for working out (like a plain tank top and some basic stretchy shorts/pants).

If you're big-chested, you'll probably want to spend more on a bra though, I think mine was about $40 and I got it from champion online. They have a great selection for bigger sizes (not the kind that just smush the boobs, which doesn't work for big boobs!)

I wash my outfit 1x a week when I do laundry. I'm only wearing it to work out, when I'm going to get smelly anyways, who cares what I smell like when I start?

I am in the exact same boat. I've always been around 160, I'm pretty close now after losing 20lbs but I have about 20 to go to a healthy weight. The lowest I've ever been was 150 so I know that is at least possible. Right now I'm trying to focus on at least having some deficit, while still having fun (aka drinking) and working out. I'm trying to get into more "fun" workouts and I'm focusing on my "analysis" - trying to get everything in the green! Now I'm trying to lose slow and steady because I'm not in any rush to get down to that healthy weight, I just want to do it someday!

You do realize that, unless you ARE tagged in a picture, facebook has no way of knowing that you're in it. You might as well be a table. Computers (aside from facial recognition, which still isn't completely accurate anyways) can't tell if a person is in a picture. Facebook is just a computer program, no one looks though pictures unless you flag them as inappropriate.

I agree with the others. I'm not happy with a lot of my pictures on facebook, but they're there and I was having fun. You need to accept how you look now and then commit to changing it if you're really that unhappy with it.

I actually just went on my first plane ride(s) this past weekend. Buffalo - Atlanta - Seattle and back. I wasn't too nervous to begin with though, more just worried about security, finding the gate, etc. I had my boyfriend w/ me who has flown a bunch which helped a lot.

I was also worried that my head was going to explode on take off (I'm very sensitive to pressure changes) but it wasn't bad at all, just a lot of jaw movements and I was fine.

I think the weirdest thing was takeoff/landing and that wasn't too bad. There is less motion than in a car so if you don't get car sick, I don't think you'd get plane-sick either unless all you do is think about how terrible it is. The turbulence (at least the stuff we hit) wasn't any worse than a bumpy road. I was in the window seat 2 of the flights and you don't really feel like it's real. When you look out the window it's hard to believe that you're that high up. It's also good that it's august so you don't have to worry about snow or anything.

Stop worrying, you'll be fine.
