Th Thank you so much I really appreciate it!!!

I really did feel stronger though I may give it another try! Lol

I'll be honest it's not the most enjoyable way to lose weight. But it does get the job, but I'd like to weigh my options. Running hasn't always been my favorite thing to do but I've also seen amazing results from it as well.

Well the scale stayed exactly the same no change but my dress size dropped 2 sizes and my waist size did the same as well.

Thats a hell of a lot of water retention then Lol But that's good to know. Most likely I'll just stick to running and lifting. Since my plan is so "abysmal".

MFP estimated I should be eating around 1700. Not to sure of the accuracy of that though. But I have used other sites they gave me a similar goal.

Various health medical sites, like http://www.calorieking.com/interactive-tools/how-many-calories-should-you-eat/?ref=nav, I'm definitely over exaggerating. As for the muscle I'm not sure about that, but through measurements and the scale that's the only conclusion I could come to.

I was exageratting lol not really half I'd say 1/8th, well I built something the scale was going up but my waist size and everything else was going down.

Eating less than what's recommended daily as a norm, 2000 right, and then exercising at least half as much calories I intake. Hope that makes sense lol I actually just completed day one of c25k, I must say I do enjoy it thus far. Insanity is it times a tad brutal, and definitely increased my muscle mass whilst burning fat.…

That's where the safe part comes to play, I do have a calorie deficit as well but not to big to where I'm starving myself. And so I'm seeing everyone dismissing insanity is it not a good plan on it's own? I definitely have to look C25K and YAYOG up though.

It is quite a hasty generalization, expecially as a woman yourself, to decide what reasons young women lose weight. I am not you nor your daughter, so its silly to think we will have the same thought process. And as you can see the bikini thing didn't go to smoothly for me. No slow and steady works, but it's not on my…

Yeah I don't think it's fair to assume all women are just here to look good in a bathing suit wedding dress or appeal to men in general. Everyone is on here for different reasons, reasons you can't simply grasp by their sex or age. That would be a fun experiment though! Lol I feel if a male is gungho about some killer…

I'm doing this as well, I've lost 10 pounds its exciting! This is over 1 month of eating healthy and very light exercise. This regimen will probably only be sustained for this summer as I hope to lose a bulk of wait in this time. Over the school year just daily gym visits or zumba will suffice honestly lol

That's amazing congrats!!! I'm the same way. Progress is really key to my motivation. I know prolonged intense workouts are difficult to maintain. But for shedding pounds it gets the job done! In the future I'll look towards other activities to maintain wait. Certaintly can't do this while I'm in school. I'm friending you…

Thanks I'll definitely look both those exercises up!

Oh and my diet is pretty great honestly, I've lost 10 pounds eating safe raw and fiber and protein rich healthy foods! I also eat pretty frequently throughout the day.

I do very much love myself. I'm pretty great if I do say so myself. :) But I do want to improve on some things that are as bad as I think they are. Age doesn't play a factor in that. If one feels like they can do better they should it's kind of that simple. Instead of reasoning my age or my sex for that matter to be the…

Okay lol

I actually am looking into some of the advice I've been given, but critiques laced with sexist inuoendos aren't helpful in any way. I'm hoping to get helpful pointers though!

Feedback is more than welcome. However, general grouping of young teenage women into this "I need to fit into a bikini and booty shorts" type attitude is definitely not welcome. Simple critiques and advice are a blessing. Assumptions and belittling are not. Any thoughts on how I should incorporate said structured…

If anything I may cut out the the small excercises. I think insanity and at least a mile a day wouldn't be bad. And I'm working on a pretty raw and lean diet as we speak so that's not too much of a problem. Thanks for the advice!

Who said I didn't want feedback? My goal mostly is to burn said calories. Insanity is definitely a sustainable workout as well as running regularly, this will not be a yearly plan just one to work with during the summer. Injury is a possibility in all that you do. So of course I will be careful and rest as I said above.…

Their are rest days incorporated into insanity those days will simply be a tad bit of cardio.

A workout plan happens to be exercises you put together correct? It's a plan to work out. One is free to add or remove whatever they want from said plan. I've already focused on my diet I track my calories and stick with goals. I don't have the means to get to any sports places or centers at the moment, I'm working with…

Thank you! I've actually found quite a few good exercise channels on YouTube. The most high impact one is Insanity, I've tried it it's pretty challenging. But you definitely get results!

Thanks! It definitely does but at the end if the day I always tell myself instead of just thinking about it go do something. At first the idea of working out sucks but once you make a habit of it, it kinda starts getting fun! And when you don't work out you feel like some things is missing. But I'll definitely take it slow.

Just added! Thank you, going it alone only makes it that much harder.

That quote really hits home. It makes more sense than trying to change yourself; it's about being your true self. And that's really what my whole journey is all about. I too often feel like I've been put into the wrong body, while the real me is running marathons and hiking up mountains. Lol

Of course, friending you as we speak! I have decided on getting back to working out. If truly want to reach my goals there's no wayyy I can if I don't work out frequently.
