IJWTS I applied for this job within my agency... an Intelligence Research Analyst position and they score your resume and assess your qualifications and apparently I got a 101 so I'm 101% qualified for the job :clap: I was very afraid I'd score like a 75 or something because they just skip your resume then. Anyway, hopefully I get an interview because in the federal government it's not so much about what you know but who you know.

On another note, if I get this job, I will fullfill one of my more "out there, and not in the realm of possibility" goals of earning six figures before I turn 30 :)

IJWTS well skipping meals, working out, working 14 hr days, and Slim-Fast seems to work for me :p Wouldn't recommend it though haha.

You should look up how much your daily calorie intake should be and go from there. For me, to lose 1 lb a week I'm only supposed to eat 2000 calories max. That will cause a caloric deficit of 500 calories a day.

1 lb of fat = 3500 calories. 500 calories x 7 days a week = 3500.

So yeah, go from there. Here is a decent calculator.

Thanks, I need it. I am not looking forward to having all eyes on me...

IJWTS I hated Speech class - I usually used visual aids to detract some of the attention from myself to the visual aid. It helped me not be so nervous and my teacher always gave me extra points for my creative visual aids. :)

IJWTS that I need to lose about 20 lbs by September. Any ideas?

Me too!!! Strange how we have the same goal in the same timeline... so I sense a race?

You mister, should not be skipping meals! Do not make me come over there and force feed! Slim-fast does not count as a meal!

You math confuses me... althogh all math confuses me.

I still get about 700 calories a day, 1200 tops and that is only on the days i dont work out.

IJWTS well to clarify, to maintain my current body weight, I'd have to do nothing and eat 2500 calories a day. If I want to lose 1lb a week, I'd need to go down to 2000 calories, 2500-2000 = 500 x 7 days in a week = 3500. 3500 = 1 lb of fat.

IJWTS I feel kinda embarassed today. I went off on one of my co-workers yesterday morning for blaming me for something that I didn't do. I was like you should get your fact's straight. And then she was like you're gonna be in trouble, teasing me and stuff. And I was just NOT in the mood (lack of sleep, stress, haven't been eating enough) and I went off for a good 30 seconds to a minute just swearing left and right. It was pretty bad. I don't remember the last time I was that mad. It's probably been years. Anyway, the whole office heard me and this stupid wussy old man complained to the managers. What a jerk. He should've approached me directly. Stupid wuss.

IJWTS - how is school going? what classes do you have this semester?
IJWTS it's going pretty well. Just have a science-lab and math course this summer. Of course, since it's a short semester, the classes are 3-4 hours long so I don't get home until late but it's all good. I love to learn, I'm making friends, and I absolutely need to be kept busy so it's okay.

IJWTS The whole summer! I've been going to school Spring, Summer, and Fall for the last 3 years. By winter break I'm exhausted and falling apart and then I get bored 2 weeks into winter break and want to go back at it again. It's not too bad if you don't have many friends or family to distract you and if you're single. I always think of it as setting me up for my future spouse :) I'll bring home the quality bacon.

IJWTS:

**update on my whole cussing out my co-worker situation**

I went and talked to my boss about it this morning and apologized and told her I was out of line. She was like oh okay, and said she was happy and approached her about it and that she didn't have to come to me because it would've been awkward. Haha.

See! It's good when you step up, swallow your pride and apologize.
