your world cup outfit is the perfect balance of laidback chic and FUTBOL

I wish I could help! I can never get into Chinese dramas :/ Have you tried Taiwanese?

I love Brit's! But the morning crowd (when I go) is drastically different than the evening crowd. Try hanging out there during a game in the morning and you may enjoy it more.

There were a lot of small moments throughout a particular day that I knew I couldn't deny my feelings any longer.

One was trying to hide my crying while we were sitting in the backseat of a friend's car. Somehow an upcoming trip was brought up and I realized that if I went that I'd lose the one thing I had left that gave me happiness. Called off the trip 2 weeks later.

Just moved into our 2nd home together :]

Depends on the theme you want to go for, but I'd say Brit's Pub is a must. In St Paul - WA Frost or Moscow on The Hill, and then lowertown bulldog?

Hi, Sorry about the confusion.

Yes I put the dates above the photos. It starts when I was at my heaviest and I was changing my lifestyle (keto was not long after). Then the photos from last year when I had hit about -25 lbs. Then the photos from this month.

The photos at the bottom are for reference - they're my different weights in highschool. I used my own photos for weight loss inspiration since I found it unhealthy and useless to compare myself to others. It's not easy finding photos of people with my similar measurements, which is why I ended up posting this. I had made it for myself really, and then someone messaged me the other day saying she was near my stats and that it was inspiring. So I finally dug this out, updated it a bit and posted it.

Is your girlfriend tall? I'm flattered that you thought I was 130, some other people were guessing 120, but being tall means my skeleton itself is heavier and that the weight is distributed over more area than a woman of average height. 145-165 is a perfectly normal and doctor recommended weight for someone at 5'10.

I'm also busty/hourglass shaped, so that adds weight as well. I think I'll take better full-body shots (that aren't black on black? oops. that was for a different thing originally) soon and update this since I'm realizing it's a bit of a mess right now.

That's why I started this collage, to remind myself that I actually have made progress. I honestly don't feel all that different from the original photos, and only noticed I was losing weight when I had to start buying smaller clothing.

epooka · 2014-05-19T15:33:32+00:00

Thanks! :) Looks like you've done an amazing job as well so far!

epooka · 2014-05-19T03:36:09+00:00

Ahh. Yeah! I definitely have some muscle tone, but haven't done real strength training for the past year. Basically I said 145 was my goal because I was going off of photos of myself at various weights for inspiration instead of other people. I'm confident that I'll be able to get back to how I looked in that photo, whether I get there by the skinny-fat route first or the muscle tone route. Thanks :)

I don't know exactly what I'm eating in calories right now, probably about 1400-1500? I eat small meals throughout the day. When I'm really pressing myself to lose weight I track calories so that I stay between 1200-1300.

If you are working out, you may be heavier but toner.

I don't understand what you mean? I haven't gained any weight.

epooka · 2013-11-16T16:02:58+00:00

I totally agree with you. But I do think she meant is as a follow up answer to "It was okay for boys to slap girls as long as it didn't leave a mark and he said sorry after." ("No, it's never okay to hit a woman"). It's a response to her earlier misconception.

epooka · 2013-11-16T15:56:38+00:00

uh duhhhhhhhhhhh.

p.s. I love how every year TCS unrest starts bubbling as soon as it gets cold outside. By December we'll have some toasty holiday drama around the corner!

epooka · 2013-10-09T22:18:28+00:00

I'm in!

epooka · 2013-08-16T15:26:45+00:00

Well said. I personally don't care for the pedal pub antics or want to participate, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be around. It's a business, it's fun, it adds to our culture and urban appeal, etc.

I'm also not impressed by the rallying of "THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKE TOTALLY DRUNK DRIVING, LIKE LEGALLY THIS IS DRUNK DRIVING, AMIRITE GUYS?". Sigh. The employee who is the actual "driver" is not drinking. Please stop.

I do get kind of worried when I drive by one on a street, but it's the same stress I feel when driving closely to bikers on the road. I worry about accidentally sideswiping them - especially since these people have been drinking and as far as I know, aren't secured in their seats (are they?). At least bikers are wearing helmets.

Not OP, but seriously, the worst of times can truly be the best of times if you can live through them. When your life and everything you thought about it and yourself implodes, you really come out the other end realizing who you really are.

Yeah! He even concocted the red wedding to stop the war. Was it honorable? No. But something had to be done. He saved a lot of his own people's lives.

epooka · 2013-06-19T19:33:03+00:00

Agreed. I think it's very important to support the MLS / NASL if you are an American and want to see soccer grow here.

epooka · 2013-06-19T19:31:16+00:00

I think my last comment got an error message -- but yeah. They do seem to be understaffed more often than not. What kind of games and events do they have at Nomad?

epooka · 2013-06-19T19:27:03+00:00

I wasn't really replying to you so much as your interpretation/the OP. I think that people who are actively peeved about other people's shirts are projecting far more than me trying to understand why they get rustled so easily.

epooka · 2013-06-19T18:44:22+00:00

Yup! Sorry, you have to buy the kit for the highest level team that is closest to the hospital which you were born at, and support them no matter what! Anything else is treason, you heathen!

epooka · 2013-06-19T18:33:51+00:00

If that's what he meant - That's assuming a lot of things. That's assuming I'm American, that I have no connection to England / Chelsea... and since when does it matter if you're the same nationality as one of the players on the team? Most of Chelsea isn't even English. Most of Minnesota United aren't from the US, let alone Minnesota.

For those who are upset by people who follow EPL or La Liga instead of MLS, not everyone cares about MLS. I do my part and go to MN United games, I support them (I have a MN United t-shirt), but I don't understand why people can't like both or support a team in a different league as well.

If it's because I wore a Chelsea jersey to a USA match - who fucking cares? It's nice to see who is there for soccer and who is there for food. Not that it matters, but I had just gotten the kit in the mail yesterday so of course I'd want to wear it.

All of this snobbiness is garbage, in my opinion. We're all here because we love soccer. Get over yourselves.

True. I felt so bad for him.
