Melancholic? :o

Ripped!

Writing my lab report for tonight :/ lol

I've just completed day 3 on level 1. I am looking to lose about 40 lbs total this year so am also on a 1600 calorie diet. How do you schedule your work outs? Do you do 10 days straight of each level, do you take rest days, and/or do you switch back and forth between levels? :) I'm just looking for ideas for how I might…

She's too sweet :P

I spent Christmas break in Orlando checking out all the new Harry Potter rides. If I ever figure out how to post pics I may share some of the neater shots I got of Howarts and such. Happy geeking out to all of you and great luck on both your acceptance into the challenge and your weight loss!

I actually want to be an astrobiologist!! So I am all about the universe, especially extrasolar planets. I'm studying under an astronomist locally and will go for an astrobiology degree in 2016. How neat :) I'm sure you're a super cool person!
-
Funny. :)
-
Boss lol

I've also applied for Ravenclaw! I'm certainly a geek for all things Harry Potter but even more so than that I'm a total nerd. Lol I read scientific journal articles and research studies for fun as I work towards my biochemistry degree. Isn't that sad haha :)

Successful. :)

I'm sure it's been asked before but I overlooked it. Can you try this at any time and really bet to get good results, or realistically should you start when you're a little used to working out? Specifically could I start it now or should I build up to it. I'm 5"8, 203, BF% around 28-29. I've been working out and eating…

Hey! I didn't even know people had replied here :) Thank you all sooo much. I bought almond milk instead of normal 2% today and I actually like it. I might try the protein shake first as I want to up my protein intake a little. I know I'll try them all though. Haha Appreciate the ideas, everyone!

Same thing as everyone else has said! I have endometriosis so mine are pretty bad. I miss school, have to go to the doctor, etcetc. I relax, use a heating pad, take my prescriptions (I have a pain killer, I would suggest something with naproxen sodium, and I have iron supplements for my anemia) eat foods I enjoy even if…
-
I will portion out a healthier snack earlier in the week because come evening I'm lazy! :) I love blackberries and they're sweet enough for me to munch on happily. I also like to make plain kettle corn or get some pretzels and depending on my craving I'll dress them up a bit, a drizzle of chocolate or caramel or this…
-
Yes, even just a weekend off can turn into a big ordeal for me! Haha Honestly you just have to get back on. Say oops I went a little over board but it was pleasant and I'm back to kick butt again. :) It will be a little harder without your husband (I am doing infinitely better now that my boyfriend is also trying to lose…
-
I have endometriosis so that time is really hard on me. It's an odd mix of being so sick and miserable I can't move and have no desire to eat, and the rest (usually after my prescription) begs for me to eat everything in the house and every chocolate item for a 10 mile radius. It's awful and I've never attempted to lose…

Cold Chinese food isn't the same thing as a boyfriend. She's saying things to be nice to you, to be "no trouble" (to you or to the school/teacher setting up her test) because they're not really a big deal to her. But dating you is. Thats why she hasn't despite you telling her straight up you should. Maybe she thinks she…

Of course there are women that are "gold diggers." There are also a ton of guys that are "douche bags" but you don't consider yourself one, so why are you lumping women into one category? Is your friend a gold digger? If so, why are you so interested in her? If you think she's shallow, hard to handle, all these negative…
-
Thanks! I didn't think I was overdoing it with my personal exercise which is why I wasn't recording it but I wanted to be sure after reading some of the replies here. I'm a biochemist and with it comes knowing about basic nutrition needed for those biochemical processes, but I'm by no means well versed in nutrition as a…
-
Yeah I was just wondering which calculation MFP uses to determine what your deficit should be. Not that I'm uncomfortable with mine, it's actually great. I was just curious. Yes I will not be going for muscles but knowing I will be okay on my deficit for just toning my arms and legs is good to hear. :) I wanted to be sure…
-
Yeah I just want toning I guess is the proper jargon? I won't have a flat stomach or noticeable muscles, as I'll probably stop at around size 6 pants. I just want to be slimmer but not... flabby? But not built or athletic either. Lol I guess I'll let it be for now and if I'm not looking how I'd like I'll make my changes…
-
I am having the same thing happening, thoguh much smaller number as I'm new to this. We would eat out for lunch and dinner every single night. I decided I wanted to lose weight and we'd have to at least make dinner every night. I've been using MFP to keep track of my calories but he just does the math quickly in his head…

I have my goal set to 1lb/week. At 5"8 and 205 lbs I was given about 1700 calories. I work out for about an hour 3-4 days a week but it's nothing extreme. I'll bike a little and lift some weights and do the planking challenge. I estimate, without an HRM and being slightly suspicious of the machines that count your…
-
Hi! My goal is also about 40 pounds. I started at 205 on here (208 total) and I want to get down to about 165ish. I'm 5"8 so I think that will be a good weight for me. I'm sure it will take a few months for me, but that will be different for everyone. Some people may lose 2+ pounds per week when they start off and some may…

Yup exactly as was posted above. Garcinia cambogia has an active ingredient in the fruit's peel that can inhibit one of the enzymes (Citrate synthase) that helps convert glucose (or any other form of sugar) through a few biochemical processes into adipose tissue (should you have spare energy and therefore only need to…
-
You've always been pretty obviously but you look so great with the weight off! Way to go,75 pounds is such a huge accomplishment. I also love Dance Dance Revolution. :) I hope I can be as successful as you one day!
-
Thanks everyone. I've never been able to lose weight before purely due to snacking and overeating and just refusing to give it up, so I've just been doing pretty good and since I'm still pretty new to this I turned into a worry wort! Lol Thank you for the reassurance. :)

I'm 21 years old. 5"8. SW:205.4 CW: 200.2 after exactly 2 weeks on here. Gw: 175 then reassess to maybe as low as 150. I cook my own dinners now and most of my lunches. I always check calories before I eat something of course (some of my favorite foods were over 1k calories but I could copy them at home or be satisfied…
-
I am the exact same way! I weighed this morning, down 5 pounds in 2 weeks and so happy about it. I've been sticking to my limit of 1600 +/- 200 calories and then working out. But then I drove home from college and my mom had bought me my favorite food from our local Mexican place. Not even sure what the calories are but I…
