Thanks guys. I have a Fit Bit Alta and can view texts, but I would like to be able to send texts.

I will also add that I have an android phone.

I have never heard of that. I live in mid Missouri in a small town surrounded by other small towns, in not sure if there is one remotely close, but I will look because that sounds great!

I hate the scale, I measure by the mirror. Just remember muscle looks better then fat, but weighs more. My advice for losing weight is drink a lot of water, get 1 hour of cardio in a day, easy a lot of veggies, and be consistent.

Thanks guys! Anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks! I'll look for the Hanes exercise line. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I'm wanting bikini undies. I've tired athletic things, but they're not for me. Boy shirts always go up in my thighs, which is extremely uncomfortable and annoying. Also I don't care about panty lines when exercising.

I've tired without underwear. It's not too bad, but I prefer to wear it.

I see that our body types are very similar. I'm 23 years old, 128lbs, and 5'2. I carry excess fat mainly in my thighs and love handles. A thigh gap is a little u realistic, but I think you want smaller thighs that have a toned look, I have the same goal. What I'm doing to help my problem areas are cardio 3x a week,…

You can think of your walk there as a warm up and walk home as a cool down. When I strength train I do a 2 mile job to warm up and walk 1 mile as a cool down.

Yes, I love it! Definitely makes me aware of what I'm doing to my body as well.

I would like an accountability buddy. I'm 23 5'2 and 128 lbs. I don't necessarily have a weight goal, my goal is to look slimmer. I'm working on my goal by strength training 3x a week and cardio at least 2x a week along with staying within a calorie deficit.

Maybe you're seeing a bigger number on the scale because you've gained muscle. Muscle weights more than fat, so maybe track your progress by measuring inches lost.

I made myself a regime strenght training plan targeting a variety of muscles with multiple means that I follow. I used jefit to help me. I could post a picture of my written out regimine, but I don't know how to.

I'm no expert, but I'vetaken many classes in regards to the body in college. This does not sound healthy. You need food to keep your body energized. Also when you don't eat your body goes into starvation mode and stores fat. I think you need to find a good plan and work towards self control with your eating. Dieting…

Thanks guys, everything you all said really helps. I've been strength training as well, so I see I really need to log my burned calories to really make sure my body is fueled through all of that and the cardio.

Instead of trying to lose weight I would recommend you looking into and try strenght training to make you appear slimmer.

Doesn't the body go into fat storing mode when it's cold? I would recommend focusing on getting better, you won't be sick too much longer.

I don't know if it's good for far loss, but I usually exercise first thing in the morning, but eat something small like a little cutie orange to supply my body with something until I eat.

My favorite is a long walk after I'm finished with what my cardio or strenght training.

I'm learning strenght training as well and found the free app jefit. It has free workout plans with video illustrations on how to so each workout.

I usually just let fitbit count my steps to log my cardio exercises instead of manually doing it. When I did manuallt do it I made sure my fitbit and MFP apps were synced and only did the logging lb the MFP app, the information I put into MFP went to my fitbit app. Make sure you give it time to sync.

Everyone has their starting point, it's okay. I say go low and slow and you will gradually build your stamina up.

You should also look into cardio and strenght training, it helps a lot!

Oh and start slow and gradually increase your workouts. It will be so much easier in the long run.

I used to get knee pains and terrible shin splints. The elliptical is amazing for this! I have also found that a 5 min warm up, a 5 min cool down, and ending with a lot of stretching helps a lot.

I just started strenght training to get "toned." I usually eat healthy and exercise 5x a week (cardio2x and started strenght 3x).

I'm 23 years old, 5'2, and 128 lbs. I usually eat 1200-1400 calories a day. I drink lots of water which I have found prevents a lot of random hunger I used to get through the day. I've found that eating healthier meals is also keeping me fuller longer.

Height 5'2 Heaviest weight 165lbs (5 years ago) Starting weight this month 131 Current weight 129 Goal 120 or whatever looks good

I drink 3 cups (some of it I have to make myself drink) before my first shift and 2 cups after my workout. The rest of it for the most part is because I'm thirsty. My pee for the most past is a very pale yellow and usually clear around noon.

The cups I'm talking about are each 8oz. I've just heard drinking a lot of water can be unhealthy/cause issues, I was just wanting to know what everyone else thinks about it.
