Idk if it counts as a food per se, but buffalo sauce! I love absolutely anything that has buffalo sauce on it. My favorite I’d probably Frank’s Red Hot, it’s got a good kick without it being too spicy imo. It’s also neutral enough to go well with any food!

As for actual food, maybe chicken! It’s super versatile and relatively healthy so I eat it very often. I know some people on diets say they get sick of it, but I’ve never had that issue! I could probably eat chicken every day lol!

She turned out so awesome! I also love the pink and brown combo, it’s kind of underrated! The sculpted details are absolutely beautiful! Bummer some of it fell of during transit, but it happens sometimes when there is that much detail!

I’ve been doing better about going to the gym lately. I’m going to try and keep it up! I’ve been doing lighter exercises than usual so that it feels more “fun” to go. Last night when I went the gym was playing The Lion King in the movie room, so I actually did exercise for close to an hour!  Even though I was exhausted I wanted to see the end of the movies, so I kept going lol!

Nova is definitely my favorite! I love the color blue and her lightning storm symbol is so cool!

Thanks for revitalizing this Starflashbaby! I’ve been slacking a little, and this thread does always help motivate me to work harder so I’m glad to see it again! Sounds like you’ve got some good goals outlined!

I use the LoseIt app. It is free, but I personally do have the paid version because it has more features that really allow you to easily log your food and keep track of your goals. I honestly don’t remember what I was missing in the feee version though, I have had the paid version for so many years that I’ve forgotten what the free one is like! They do sometimes have deals around new years where you can buy a lifetime subscription which is what I did. If you think you will be using it for a year or more it may worth it! Based on what LoseIt says I am indeed still on track to hit my goal weight in November. It feels like I haven’t lost anything, but looking back at where I was a couple months ago I guess I have lost and steadily kept off about 3 pounds or so. It may not seem like much, but I’m fine with taking it slow!

We recently had a health and wellness meeting at work where we set some health goals for ourselves. Not that I think my boss actually cares if I stick to my goal LOL but I’m going to try and be faithful to it! I really need to start going to the gym again. My goal is to go at least 3 days a week for at least 30 minutes. I keep trying to get back into going but it’s really been a struggle.

Sorry the Facebook groups are proving to be such a struggle Ponyfan! I didn’t realize there was so much uh….elitism around these Diamond painting kits. That’s crazy! I say just buy what you enjoy! Most kits are pretty good quality imo, the only bad sets are the ones I’ve tried from Amazon.

I think you should spring for the light box too! I know my eyes can start to hurt after a while working on these, so I do think that would help.

These are the first two kits I ever did! Extra image of the wolf and sheep on to show the size. That one was HUGE! It took me a few months to finish. It was my pandemic project a few years back. I’d love to get it framed someday, but the size alone makes it very expensive.

This is one of my Amazon ones

I mean, it’s okay, but the gradient in the sky is soooo clunky that it bugs me. That big white patch at the bottom has like, three different colors in it if you can believe it, but I personally don’t see any difference in the gems.

I got a pony one from Amazon for my birthday too. I thought I had a pic of it, but I guess I don’t, I’ll have to take one. I ended up doing a lot of my own design on that one because I didn’t like how it was turning out. I think I’m most proud of that since I “fixed” it lol!

I’d be interested! I always love the Halloween swaps.

Ohhh fun! I like seeing what makes “My Little Pony” actually map for everyone!

1.) G3
This is the generation I grew up with and my introduction to pony. The thing that really drew me into the toys was the variety and collectibility of them. I really liked their short little backcard stories. They have just enough of a snippet of personality that you could play with as a kid if you wanted, but they also left a lot of room for your own imagination. The thing I liked about the cartoons were the simple, low stakes stories. Once again, the ponies had a small glimmer of personality, but mostly they were still a blank slate for kid me to play with them as their own characters.

2.) G1
This was my introduction into the world of other gens, and the idea of actually collecting. A lot of the things I liked about G3 are present in this gen too - wide variety of toys, simple backcard stories, Tne animation was a little more high stakes, but still showcased a wide array of the ponies. Plus, they are the originals, so of course they should rank fairly high!

3.) G5
Despite some if its shortcomings, I genuinely feel like G5 is a slight return to form for the brand. This generation is FAR more media focused than I’d like MLP to be, but at least the stories are what I like from MLP - fairly low stakes and simple stories. Even though the main ponies do have very distinct personalities, I also feel like they allow for a kid to project some further personality onto them if wanted. The toys also suffer from a severe lack of characters, but they toys that are out are much better quality than a lot of recent ponies. Plus, a lot of the play sets genuinely seem fun for kids! I know I would have been allllll over the little poseable sets when I was younger.

4) G4
There is a lot I don’t like about G4 in hindsight, but I can’t deny that when it first came out it resparked my love for My Little Pony after I was kinda burnt out. FiM came out when I was in high school, and at the time I loved the more action packed, epic tone of opening episodes. Despite being aimed at kids still, it kind of felt like MLP grew up with me. I still adore the first season of the show for its unique cast of characters and simple storylines mixed in with the grander schemes. As time went on I didn’t like all of the “lore” and epic scale of the show. It just seemed kind of….goofy for My Little Pony after a certain point. The toy line also seriously was boring. Despite being around for nearly 10 years, my entire G4 brushable collection fits on a single shelf.

G2.) To be honest, this generation just never got a fair chance. They feel less like MLP to me just because of their slender bodies and really simple designs, but with G5 in the mix, that gap has been bridged a bit. I do remember having a G2 Ivy from McDonalds and playing the PC game, but other than that they just kind of lack the nostalgia that other gems hold for me. I still really love the, though!

G3.5)
I HATED these when they came out, and even though the toys have grown on me some, this was still a bad time for MLP overall. This is the generation that introduced the idea of a core cast and repeat releases and the dominance of Pinkie Pie as a mascot. To this day the look and feel of the toys, and especially the media around G3.5 just feel very juvenile. It seems like they were targeted more towards toddlers and preschoolers than young girls.

G4.5.)
Okay so I kinda dig G4.5, but they don’t feel like My Little Pony at all LOL! They seem like a spin-off of the whole brand, but that being said I really did like the overly simple chibi style of the animation. The shorts were frankly fun for what they were. I did appreciate the simplicity of this whole gen after the drama and fallout of G4 proper.
