March 2015 - Today Left:162 Right:140 I am not finished yet. I definitely want to lose a little bit more, but right now I am focusing on gaining muscle and becoming more toned. Everyone in this thread looks amazing!

Are you logging your intake accurately? Using a food scale? If you aren't weighing everything or are guessing how much you are eating it is possible that you are eating more than you think you are. I had a similar problem and found that tightening up my logging made a HUGE different. I hope this helps and you are able to…

Thanks for the quick response. Upon adjusting my goals I realized I had my activity level set to sedentary, from back when I first started and didn't exercise much. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week now, so I should probably change it to lightly active. Oops.

Feel free to add me! I am a student going into my junior year of college. I've lost 20 pounds already after gaining 30 my freshman year. If you need help, support, etc. feel free to message me. :)

OP, I know exactly how you feel. Last week I posted a similar thread, wondering why I wasn't losing anymore and I felt very attacked by the responses I was receiving. People on here can seem harsh sometimes, but they are just trying to help. I took all the advice I was given and began to lose again. If you don't already…

Definitely pick up the good habits now! Dining hall food is killer, especially if you like to eat on the healthier side.

I am 20, I've already lost 19 pounds and have about 10-15 more to lose. Feel free to add me. :)

Taken, 22, student?

I usually soak my veggies in vinegar and water to remove pesticides.

I love rice cakes! They come in so many different flavors. For salty cravings I like the buttered popcorn ones, or lightly salted for sweet I like the caramel ones.

My mom had a similar problem and she was able to kick the habit cold turkey for about a year. She drinks soda again now, but before she just stopped drinking it, cold turkey. She did get headaches for the first few days but she says they weren't that bad, and once you're past them it gets a lot easier. Good luck!

There isn't really a magic time that you should be eating. I enjoy eating breakfast so I usually eat it right when I get up (around 6:15). You don't have to eat it though, I know people who have instant breakfast shakes and do just fine. It's all a preference thing. Sometimes when I sleep in I have late breakfast and I…

I've lost almost 20 pounds so far and sometimes I do still feel crappy about my body (not too often though) and when this happens I look at my before picture compared with my now picture and it makes me feel much better. Another thing I do is I look in the mirror and tell myself 10 things I love about my body. It's a great…

Perhaps the panting is happening because you are over stretching yourself without being warm enough? I am a dancer and have always been told to stretch less before exercise and more after. You get a better stretch after exercise because your muscles are warm, so if you are trying to increase flexibility that is your best…

I have avocado on my toast in the morning sometimes with eggs and kale/spinach over top. It's really good. I've also made pasta with a lemon sauce that had avocado in it. Very tasty!

I completely agree. I learned early in childhood that you shouldn't discuss others weight. It's just not right. I also had several friends in high school who had eating disorders so weight couldn't be discuss around them. Just based off of that alone I never talk about weight in public settings so I don't trigger anyone.

That sounds delicious.

Never done one of these before, but excited to try.

Sophomore year of college. Took a picture with my favorite band and I didn't look the way I wanted too, but I didn't do anything about it for a few months.

Congrats! Amazing transformation. You look great!

I see myself climbing Mt Washington.

For me the hardest thing is getting my day going. What has really help me get to the gym is getting up early and going right after breakfast. It gets it out of the way and you don't have to worry about where it will fit into your day later. I lay out all of my gym clothes the night before and pack my gym bag too, with my…

You can do this! Starting out can be tough but you just need to keep yourself motivated. Make sure you are logging accurately and you will do splendidly!
