How did I not notice this group before?
MARITAL STATUS: Single, thank goodness. AGE: 28 TOP WEIGHT: 262 GOAL WEIGHT: 125 EYE COLOR: dark, dark brown HAIR : Black, but I dye. I'm really a closet ginger. OCCUPATION: Freelance Artist, Student Assistant, Tutor, Animator HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Metal music, painting, drawing with charcoals, character design, photography, being outdoors doing outdoorsy things, nihilism, reading, learning, writing, traveling, creating. PETS: JRT! GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: upstate NY FAVORITE COLOR: Black and red. FAVORITE FOODS: fruit- berries, peaches, grapes, bananas, apples, mangos, everything. FAVORITE EXERCISE: I never would have said this two months ago, but I'm a total gym rat and I love the elliptical. FAVORITE BOOK(S): anything by hunter s. thompson, david sedaris, chuck palahniuk, cormac mccarthy, burroughs, christopher moore... and anything instructional or reference, especially having to do with traditional and digital arts. I'll read anything once, whatever I can get my hands on. I have a mind like a sponge. FAVORITE MOVIE(S): The Big Lebowski, Wild at Heart, Henry, Super Troopers, UHF, Idiocracy, O Brother Where Art Thou, anything horror, mystery, crime, dark comedy, Donnie Darko, Clockwork Orange, pretty much any cartoon or animation I can get my hands on (however with the exception of a few amazing films, I generally dislike anime.) FAVORITE TV SHOW(S): While I have a tv, the only time I watch tv is at the gym... and it's usually sports and news related. I watch cartoons online all the time though, especially adult swim stuff and adventure time, and I watch an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia every day because it's the best show ever. FAVORITE BAND/MUSIC: oh, this is hard... um. Like I said, I love me some metal (specifically grind (love it), grindcore, death, doom, sludge, black, d-beat, crust). \m/ Right now, the five bands I listen to the most are Napalm Death, Fudge Tunnel, Tombs (they are wonderful, and touring right now. Buy their music!), Wolvhammer, and Skitsystem. I do listen to some other genres too, a kind of mutt mix of stuff... I love love love Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures, along with every project Josh Homme has ever done (though Eagles of Death Metal are my least favorite). Broken Bells, The Shins, Failure... I could go on and on. I love music. PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Wishing it would go faster while at the same time forcing myself to slow down because I know I have to do this the healthy way. Also, being an animator is condusive to me sitting on my can a whole bunch while I work. At least with painting and drawing I'm on my feet. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Honestly, this is the first time I've really truly tried to do this for myself. WEIGHT LOSS PLAN: calorie counting, eating healthy, drinking a ton of water, working out every day (or at least 6 days a week minimum.) PIERCINGS: 12ga industrial, both tragii @ 16ga, double lobes (the tops are 8ga, the bottoms are stretched to 1 inch (24mm), 10ga snakebites, 10ga labret, 4ga septum, 10ga nipples. TATTOOS: full chestpiece of a heart with skeleton keys and lock, spiderwebs, and two blue swallows with flames, four blue stars in between the tatas. On my left leg: a cartoon portrait of my JRT as a pup with blue swirls, a green bone, a bee below my left knee, and a chicken leg on my shin. Lotus on lower back, Winged cat with blue star on upper back (both are going to be covered up with a backpiece once they've faded enough.) An anvil and roses on my right foot. A star made of treble clefs on my left shoulder/arm. I have plans for many, many more... to start, in september, I'll be starting a full sleeve on my left arm and hand. Also, when I reach my goal weight, I'm going to go skydiving, then get a tattoo of a skeleton skydiving with long black hair flying and throwing the double goat. When I've maintained my goal for 6 months, I'm going to continue my chestpiece up on to my throat and neck. (oh hi there, above gigantic paragraph. Did I mention I love tattoos?) |

FAVORITE MOVIE(S): Boondock Saints, True Romance, LotR trilogy and Gladiator to start a long list. FAVORITE TV SHOW(S): United States of Tara, The Tudors (anxiously awaiting The Borgias to fill this void), True Blood and hello my name is Tammie and I'm a Gleek!

NAME: Melissa
AGE: 28 (Birthday is May 6th) MARITAL STATUS: Recently single. My now ex-fiance backed out of our life together and I'm looking to get my life back on track. TOP WEIGHT: 260 CURRENT WEIGHT: 215 GOAL WEIGHT: 135 HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Reading, watching movies, cooking, traveling. DIETING HISTORY: I've always been chubby. Kids called me "Jello" in elementary school. But when I was in the 4th grade, it didn't seem to bother me too much really. However, puberty hits and we all find a way to deal. I dealt by eating. I haven't been under 200 pounds since I was a teenager, but that's all gonna change this year. I've lost 45 pounds so far and only 16 more to go before I break the 100's. I'm very excited! HEIGHT: 5'2.5" EYE COLOR: Greenish-hazel HAIR COLOR: Black right now, but it's naturally a golden dark brown. LOCATION: Seneca Falls, NY (birthplace of women's rights). It's a small town and quite boring, actually. I have plans to move down to New York City eventually. FAVORITE COLOR: Black, red, purple, green. I can't pick just one. FAVORITE FOODS: Buffalo chicken or BBQ chicken pizza, french fries, alfredo pasta dishes, lasagna, turkey burgers, roasted red pepper hummus, sandwiches/wraps, soups, Chinese, Thai, Indian...I could keep going lol. FAVORITE EXERCISE: Swimming and biking (technically I use a stationary bike at the gym but I bike 6 miles almost every day and I really like it). SCHOOL: I'm currently a full-time college student studying education, however I plan on changing my major to human services/social work. WORK: I work part-time as a Therapeutic Recreation Assistant at a local nursing home. FAVORITE BOOK(S): I love everything Jane Austen and other classic literature from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. I also love fantasy series, like Harry Potter, The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings, His Dark Materials. FAVORITE TV SHOW(S): My favorite TV show of all time is The X-Files. One cannot put into words my obsession with Mulder & Scully. I even have their action figures. Really. FAVORITE MOVIE(S): My favorite movie of all time is The Sound of Music. I'm pretty much obsessed with musicals. FAVORITE BAND/MUSIC: I love all kinds of music, but my favorite is classic rock & alternative. Around the age of 13 or 14 years old, I discovered alternative rock and it changed my life. I suddenly had a voice or something. Alternative music led to a lot of fun memories, including getting kicked in the head by a steel-toed boot at a Bush concert when I was 15. Good times. When I was a teenager, I was in love with No Doubt and wanted to be Gwen Stefani. She was skinny, gorgeous, and just plain cool. Not to mention she got to sleep with Gavin Rossdale on a regular basis. Haha. My favorite band of all time is actually Depeche Mode. They basically rock my world and I am a proud Dave Slave. Their "Black Celebration" album is amaaaazing! I pretty much love everything 80's, from the music to the movies. PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Something will happen in my life that affects me negatively, and I'll turn to overeating and junk food to make feel better. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I feel so much better about myself when I am living a healthy lifestyle. I'm sticking to a routine and I actually enjoy working out and eating right. It's helping me stay sane during a really hard time in my life. For the first time, I'm not turning to pizza and french fries for comfort and I feel so much better. WEIGHT LOSS PLAN: A balanced diet of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy proteins. I try to stick to 1200-1500 calories a day. I also go to the gym 4-5 days a week. RELIGION: My family are Jehovah's Witnesses and that's how I was raised. I'm not currently practicing, though. POLITICS: Blah blah blah boring. PIERCINGS: Two piercings in each ear. TATTOOS: None. |

I also have a blog at thewaifcometh.blogspot.com that I just started to track my progress, but be forewarned that I am kind of a ***** sometimes so if you're easily offended, probably best to not visit. :)
NAME: Torri BIRTHDAY: August 1 MARITAL STATUS: Married to the most awesome man on the planet TOP WEIGHT: 165, as of right now. CURRENT WEIGHT: 165 GOAL WEIGHT: 122 HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Anything active! I love the outdoors. When I'm inside I'm usually reading or making something; I bind books, make paper, paint, draw, do photography, blend perfume, and write, and then write some more. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: The bloody Bible Belt, keeping a few choice descriptors to myself FAVORITE FOODS: Anything spicy, especially Mexican food. And sugar... That is my biggest weakness. As I write this I'm mourning the several huge cookies I just ate, despite starting my new diet "today" FAVORITE EXERCISE: Climbing, hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, stuff like that. Unfortunately these days it's just running and yoga. FAVORITE BOOK(S): Pretty much everything from dry medieval treatises to camp dirty fiction FAVORITE MOVIE(S): Fight Club, Snatch, the Prophecy, Amelie, anything with "Exorcist" in the title, horror in general FAVORITE TV SHOW(S): Don't have cable, but I do like the Office (back when it was funny and British especialy), Dexter, Mythbusters FAVORITE BAND/MUSIC: NIN, Tool, Puscifer, Saul Williams, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Hexentanz, PJ Harvey, Portishead, The Decemberists, Rage Against the Machine, KMFDM, Machines of Loving Grace, Trance to the Sun, Maduro, Ministry, Nirvana, Primus, Rammstein, Tweaker, Vermillion Lies, Rasputina, and various medieval/classical/folk troupes. PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Boredom. I have a really low threshold for boredom which often leads me to stop working out. This in turn leads to frustration due to lost progress, which then makes me not want to go exercise. And a weakness for good food... I don't like taking the time to eat, but I sure do love good food. And sugar. Did I mention I cannot resist sugar?? WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I weighed myself yesterday, which is something I've been avoiding. I've always been waifishly thin, but I injured my shoulder a few years ago and I packed on the pounds. I absolutely can not tolerate having a closet full of clothes that don't fit, feeling unhealthy, and all the other crap that comes with being 43 pounds over my ideal weight, anymore. WEIGHT LOSS PLAN: C25k 3 days per week, yoga 3 days, portion control and 1 weekly day of fasting. I already eat healthy (except for the sugar), so for me it's all about portion control. RELIGION: Left Hand theist, for those of you who know what that means POLITICS: I'd better not get into that! Let's just say I'm a weird mixture of Far Left and Far Right PIERCINGS: Used to have nipples pierced, but took them out and couldn't get them back in. :( Had my navel pierced back in the day... My ears are pierced but I don't really wear earrings. TATTOOS: Full gauntlets (wrist to elbow) let's see what else... I'm also a student studying for an advanced degree in an antiquated discipline; I write for various things, almost always under pseudonyms; I want to move away from the South ASAP, but alas, that won't be for awhile; I'm a vegetarian, former vegan; my husband is a better cook than I am; I think that's enough, don't you? |

Hello from Jacinda!
So. Hi and stuff! The description for this thread made me too happy to pass it up. :)
Name: Jacinda (my derby name is Nikki Trixx) Age: 31 Location: Battle Creek, MI Weight & Height: Currently 230lbs. Working my way down to somewhere between 115 and 140, depending on where I feel good. Oh, and I'm 5'4". Job: Assistant to the CEO for a nonprofit. I adore my job. Music: I like everything... Even a little country (but not a lot). The Clash, the Ramones, NIN, Ani DiFranco, Moldy Peaches, Kimya Dawson, Tegan and Sara, Sleater-Kinney, Tori Amos, Eminem, U2, Motley Crue, Poison, GnR... The list is basically endless. Books: Again, I'm a fan of everything. I LOVE Neil Gaiman. TV: How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy (it's a guilty pleasure), Glee (what can I say? I'm a singer), Eureka, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Buffy, Monk, Psych, Veronica Mars, The L Word, Pushing Daisies, AbFab, Family Guy, Heroes... A few others I can't think of at the moment. Interests/Hobbies: Roller derby, playing bass guitar, singing, reading, writing (poetry and flash fiction and random things), surfing, scuba diving, knitting, photography... Tons of other things. I really love trying new things. Goals: Complete my MA in Public Policy at Northwestern University. Obviously, get to a weight where I feel healthy and strong. Religion: I don't know. There might be something, there might not. I just focus on living my life without douchebagging others. Politics: Liberal. Pets: Two dogs (Zoe and Lupo), one cat (Pele). Relationship Status: Living with my boyfriend. |
NAME: Lizzy
AGE: 31 MARITAL STATUS: Happily single TOP WEIGHT: 272 CURRENT WEIGHT: 262 GOAL WEIGHT: Not sure. For now, I'd just like to be in the 220s, then I'll reevaluate when I get there. HOBBIES/INTERESTS: Spending too much time online, over-thinking things, volcanoes, feminism, photography, sleeping, accidentally slamming my linen closet door on my head (you'd be surprised how often it happens). DIETING HISTORY: I've not dieted THAT much in my life, especially considering my size. I've done WW twice before and dabbled here and there with other things, but due largely to my cynicism, I avoid diets. HEIGHT: nearly 5'4" LOCATION: Central Florida. FAVORITE COLOR: all of them (save for yellow). FAVORITE FOODS: chocolate, cheeseburgers, American Chinese food, mashed potatoes. FAVORITE EXERCISE: Bikes! SCHOOL: Graduated last year with a BA in Humanities, minor in Women's Studies. WORK: errr, yeah, about that .... FAVORITE BOOK(S): I'm a sucker for creative non-fiction and essays, so David Sedaris is my fave. FAVORITE TV SHOW(S): Veronica Mars, Project Runway, Sifl & Olly. FAVORITE MOVIE(S): I'm not a huge movie person, but I really love The Apartment. FAVORITE BAND/MUSIC: The Shins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sam Sparro, The B-52s, Daft Punk. PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: My mental health. My anxiety disorder drives me to eat in order to avoid boredom. I am also ADHD inattentive. One of my symptoms is impulsive eating. I have the ability to feel what my body is craving and when it's full, but I have an inner 8-year-old that just sort of grabs the chocolate and jams it in her face until she's sick. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Let's get real, it might not happen. If it does, it's due to my maturity and coping with my mental health weirdness. Either way, I'm working on loving what I have, regardless of size. WEIGHT LOSS PLAN: Doing WW again, but have recently been reading a lot about Health at Every Size and intuitive eating. I'd love to try that sort of eating habit as it seems most effective for long term health and weight loss. RELIGION: Agnostic. Since birth pretty much. POLITICS: Liberal. TATTOOS: I'm so not into them. None for me. Right now I'm really torn between my feminist roots, fat activism, traditional health beliefs and what I want for myself. I suspect I'll also be using these forums less as a way to garner support for my weight loss and more as a way to study how people view weight loss, their bodies and especially how people's personalities dictate their approach to health and/or weight loss. |

So, I've been somewhat active on the site for a while, but I wanted to come post an introduction here, especially since the forum seems to be getting a bit more active lately.
NAME: Cathy BIRTHDAY: December 31st (best birthday in the world!) MARITAL STATUS: Single TOP WEIGHT: not quite sure, maybe the 170s, but somewhere between 155 and 160 when I started losing weight in August CURRENT WEIGHT: 113.1 GOAL WEIGHT: 105 EYE COLOR: blue HAIR COLOR: brown HOBBIES/INTERESTS: reading, travelling, jogging, hiking, camping, sustainable agriculture, theater, musicals PETS: None, sadly. I move around so much that it would be irresponsible to have any. At some point in the future, though, I'd love to get an Irish Setter. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Finland JOB: English teaching assistant DEGREE: B.A. in Classics FAVORITE COLOR: Green FAVORITE FOODS: kiwis, barley, hummus, falafel, Indian, Thai (veganized!) FAVORITE EXERCISE: depends on my mood FAVORITE BOOK(S): Tam Lin by Diana Wynne Jones, That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis, The Lady's Not For Burning by Christopher Fry (a play, but I've never actually seen it performed), anything by Bill Bryson, The Adventures/Memoirs/Return of Sherlock Holmes, A Room with a View by E.M. Forster, Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen, The Divine Invasion by Philip Dick, and now I'll stop before this list gets unmanageable ... FAVORITE MOVIE(S): ****ing Amal (a Swedish movie that was called "Show Me Love" when it was released in the States), Love My Life, My Sassy Girl (the Korean version not the American remake), A Letter to Three Wives, Widow's Peak, Hot Fuzz, Wives & Daughters, Cranford, Sense & Sensibility (the version that stars Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield) FAVORITE TV SHOW(S): Star Trek (the Original Series and the Next Generation), Dollhouse, Firefly, Parks and Recreation, Gilmore Girls FAVORITE BAND/MUSIC: It's weird; I love music and pretty much listen to it all day long, but I'm not too picky about genres. When left to my own devices, I guess I do tend to steer towards folksy kind of stuff, country, pop, and songs from musicals. Currently, I am having trouble getting the original cast recording of Wicked, a Dengue Fever song, and Alison Krauss out of my head. I really like the Finnish band Värttinä, Flogging Molly, Blue October (yeah, I know ...), Ross Daly, and Loreena McKennitt. I've also been strangely drawn to the accordion lately. PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: the desire to binge eat WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I completely changed my entire lifestyle. It seems to be working so far. WEIGHT LOSS PLAN: 1200ish calories a day and move, move, move. I walk to work and home every day, which is about 3 miles roundtrip, and then try to walk/jog/bike/swim a few times a week, too. RELIGION: I'm not religious. POLITICS: I'll just say liberal, even though that's kind of broad and non-explanatory. PIERCINGS: three in my ear lobes (used to be four, but one fell out while I was on a desert camping trip and I never bothered to repierce it) and an industrial. I used to have my belly button done, but it ripped out. If I'm ever happy with how my stomach looks, I may do it again. Then again, maybe not. Those stretch marks aren't going anywhere. Also, I want to get a nose ring. TATTOOS: None, but there are plans in the works for a half sleeve. |
In appreciation of all things alternative!
Dearest Alternachicks,
On the surface I live what appears to be a somewhat traditional life, but underneath I am subversive and appreciate all others who reject the status quo. Right now it seems I am surrounded by people who are only into: "havingbabiesmakingmoneyemulatingmainstreamcelebri tylife" ...and this is boring me mightily. Perhaps you too? Me: female, young but non-cougarish 52 Status: Single raising one fantastic, special needs bulldog Location: NYC Work: all the time (sigh) On program: one week Music: all. Grew up in the 70's but so not stuck there. Would love to hear from like-minded souls. People who get it. Anyone else find dieting socially isolating? So much about life as a single NY'er is dining out....having a hard time with THAT part Cheers + best wishes to each and every one of you. Cassandra |

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I joined Lifetime Fitness and am really enjoying it. WEIGHT LOSS PLAN: Something sustainable. I gravitate toward healthier food, but the rest of the fam does not, and we always have crap in the house.. PIERCINGS: Just my ears and I hate those. I'd have none if I could.
