I'm big offender for this. I get really intense cravings right before my period and during. But, during this time, I also have two extremes: I either have no appetite whatsoever and have no desire to eat anything, or an unquenchable hunger for literally anything I can get my hands on.

I'm trying to lose 110lbs, I've lost 20 so far, and I need an accountability buddy too! We can be that for each other!

I cut out fast food (This was especially hard since I had Dunkin Donuts every. single. day. when I wasn't taking care of myself) but I will have it occasionally, if my calorie goal lets me. I also cut out really bad food like cheesy snacks (Goldfish, Doritos, Cheez-its) and most types of ice cream (an exception to this is…

With the buy them on amazon instead, as good of an idea as that is, you have to be really careful with amazon. A lot of knockoffs.

Honestly, you can be a size 0 and be healthy, or you can be at a size 8-10 or more and be healthy. But if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and/or your doctor tells you your weight isn't healthy, then you are not healthy. I'm all for loving your curves or your stretch marks, but it makes me cringe when I see…

As someone who's been struggling with weightloss since 16 (I'm 18 now) I do understand where your daughter is coming from, and it may help coming from someone close to her age. However, like others have said, weight loss is 80%+ in the kitchen. You have to track your food, and make sure you're not overeating. Also, find a…

Trust me, I'm going through that, and it's hard, but feel free to friend me if you need support!

I fit into a pair of pants I didn't fit in before, and I didn't have to strangle myself to get into them! I also noticed that not only have I lost at least an inch on everything (arms, waist, hips, etc) I also don't have as obvious back rolls. That was one of my big moments, when no matter what shirt I wore, I had what…

I knew I was losing weight when pants that never fit me finally fit!

My Way - Frank Sinatra

I was really surprised that I didn't go over, I ended up only having 1,182 calories. But, I was able to have a steak tip kabob, bacon wrapped scallops, and a half pound of haddock, so I felt that I made the most of the fourth.

Well, I had the same problem... and then I got put on the pill. It has done wonders, but you said you won't go back on it. Any reason why?

I've been on birth control for about 2 years now, and I take Junel Fe, which is very low dose (it probably won't protect me against pregnancy but I'm not too worried about that, that's not what I take it for) but I know that it will take about a month for it to straighten out. Birth Control is meant to make your body think…

I have a gym membership, but I started out at home. It was more of a motivation thing, I felt if I couldn't even do anything at the gym I'd be too embarrassed to keep going. So I built up my endurance a bit, and then went to the gym.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts!

Definitely keeping for the long haul. I have a nasty habit of getting into something and then just getting bored of it one day, out of the blue. It's also hard because I'm honestly so lazy and unmotivated sometimes. I feel so bad about myself if I don't workout or if I binge but I do anyways. It takes me a solid hour to…

Feel free to add me!

I really haven't noticed a whole lot, except that water and green tea (which are pretty much the only things I drink besides the occasional coffee) keep me full longer and keep me from going back for seconds or overeating/snacking.

Love things like this, force me to be held accountable! I don't really know what a good goal weight would be, but I'll give it a shot.

Well, for one, my jeans barely fit. Another is just seeing myself in pictures and seeing that I can't look thinner no matter how hard I try. Then of course, was seeing my weight on the scale at a doctor's appointment. ugh.

I don't usually go to fast food places (for the sole reason there are none within a 5 mile radius of me, so there's no point in driving for 10 minutes for something not good for me, especially in summer traffic) But I will buy if I'm coming home from say, a doctors appointment and don't have time to cook, I'll stop at…

People who don't wipe off machines infuriate me. My gym is really tiny, and there's about 5 different towel and spray bottles scattered all over. It's so easy to wipe down machines yet some people just don't bother! Also, those people who find it necessary to grunt extremely loudly during every. single. rep. We get it.…
