I think that, when you like someone, you'll start to find them physically attractive. The two things are often inseparable. I can't really put much store in the whole "type" idea, because that's sort of like dating based on a checklist. "Skinny, check. Tall, check. Nice hair, check." I think if you really got to love someone who DIDN'T fit your preconceived notions, you'd start to like their "type" better.
Am I making any sense here?

Yep, I agree Vovat, that makes a lot of sense to me.
OK, so the no booze thing is fine, but I have to stop giving into to snacks and stuff, thats the killer.
I think I'm going to start being really harsh on myself (well, a little harsh) on Monday - I find it difficult to regulate at weekends, you know... you go out to restaurants, you go to friends for dinner, all that sort of thing. Plus, hopefully the exercise'll kick in properly then.

i think it works that way to some degree, but i think what truly attracts people to one another, and brings people together, is sheer physical attraction. not just, what somebody looks like, but how they behave, how they move, the whole package.
it's something chemical and very physical.
sure, you have to have brains and personality to keep you interested, but you can't tell me that the first thing you're attracted to isn't looks.

I agree, floop, and that's why I like Frank's line
"darling when I see you walk,
you seem so very nice" and Elvis' line in "Miracle Man":
"I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
And you were the only one who'd call
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity
But you know it's the way that you walk."
Cheesey, back on topic on weight-loss for a sec,
regarding eating in restaurants or at friends':
you must have a game plan, decide ahead
what you are going to eat and stick to eat,
otherwise you're blowing it every time you
eat anyplace other than home.
Not to sound uptight, but I won't go to certain restaurants
where I know they only have high-fat, starchy food
I shouldn't be eating.
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics |

They probably had a mental image of them that was attractive.

Well, he was still wrong about Long Beach!
By the way, speaking of Internet relationships, what if the actual person doesn't fit your mental image? Would you find them physically attractive anyway, because you're already attracted to them in other ways?

"Not even close" definition -- "I was born in
the Boston area, far far away from Long Beach,
matter of fact, as far away as you can get
in the Continental US from the West Coast, that's
right, fans, I was born on the East Coast, stick
that in your pipe and smoke it, floop, yep, I was
born in Allston, Mass., that's on the East Coast."

I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure out, not a cheap option, but come on a 3 week roadtrip with me through the US (you'll have to drive of course) and you'll drop 2 dress sizes (don't know what that is in man measurements)

Kilograms actually aren't a unit of weight. They're a unit of mass.

Yes they do and you continue to lose for some unknown reason despite eating complete rubbish.
I bought a pair of jeans on the second day of the trip that were way to big for me by the end of it. I'm still completely lost as to how this happened but will gladly do the same route again with any forum members wanting to shed a few.

On the subject - just watched Super Size Me. That film's thoroughly depressing, although it makes me feel like I'm doing something right at least.
I just couldn't believe all those people that didn't know what a calorie was!

| Yeah, I could hear it on in the sitting room. Fuck, the bit where he puked, yeuchh, I feel nausious. I have to admit, I'd struggle to actually define a calorie-is it a unit of energy craeted by burning fat? |

Yup, puked after one super-size meal.
One super-size coke = 1/2 gallon.
Kids in school get around 48 teaspoons of sugar a week from soft drinks.
Worse though - when he came off the McD's diet, his girlfriend put him on a vegan diet! Talk about kicking when down...

I think a pound actually is a unit of weight, but I could be wrong.
The metric unit of weight is the newton.

i did a bit of research and i think pounds are now considered units of mass, and based on kilograms, but about 100 years ago or something it was a unit of weight.
however, it doesn't really matter aslong as we're all measuring ourselves on earth!
