Hey there! I'm 23! :) I know what you mean! I did sports my entire life until college then I quit exercising entirely. It's been an interesting last few years watching as my weight went up. My biggest struggle was portion control. I know I don't eat well (I basically live off of processed food and pasta) but I would never…

Remember that your body weight is going to fluctuate a couple of pounds naturally depending on food, water, etc. A couple of pounds isn't bad and will come off quickly if you keep up what you've been doing. I recently gained back a good three pounds. Was it discouraging? You bet! But I got back on track and quit binge…

Walking and running help a lot with shaping your thighs. As a former distance runner (and now working towards becoming one again) I always had really great thighs. Overtime the muscle got covered in a layer of fat (but the muscles were still there) but with an increase in walking the fat disappeared and my shapely toned…

Yooo! I'm 5'1" too! I have 6 to go but started with 20 to lose (going for a weigh in at 140 pounds). Once I hit that, I'm going to see how I feel about going down another 10.

Pansexual :) but I've been known to call myself bi when I don't feel like explaining it (and out to most of my friends but not my family just yet)

I do the same thing! This morning I lectured myself on how I was going to be upset with me later in the day if I didn't get up and go running.

PROS: I love fresh fruit and vegetables, especially those low in calories. I enjoy exercise (specifically running) once I get past the first week of it I drink on average 6-8 cups of water a day, more during the school year I've gotten better at portion control CONS: I never buy fresh fruit and veggies (just take it from…

Hello from a teacher in training!(I start my 5th and final year as a music education major in August) As a college student, I'm incredibly used to having a schedule. While I hate it with a passion at the time, over the summers I realize how great it was. I'm not talking about having trouble working out though. I'm talking…

My rewards are often food based, I try to at least once a week save enough calories to have a bowl of my favorite ice cream. As for long term, probably just new clothes or one day where I don't pay attention to calories and eat what I want when I want (I haven't reached something that I consider a milestone yet though so…

From my experience, you often gain a little weight before you start losing anything substantial. Since you're doing a combination of eating right and exercising, you are probably (and should be) taking in more calories than you would if you weren't exercising. Bear that in mind. Also it could be muscle mass you're gaining.…

I'm proud that my current calorie intake for the day is -110. Don't worry! I fully intend on eating at least 1,000 more calories today! But today I've officially burned off the bowl of cereal I had for breakfast, which I think is pretty neat. I'm also proud that today I managed to actually go out and run . . . and ran just…

The bassoon solo from firebird by Stravinsky is the first one that comes to mind.

Story of my life! I play bassoon and everyone thinks it's crazy with such small hands.

I realized I was gaining weight at the beginning of my second semester of freshman year at college. It wasn't until my junior year that I started to hate the way I looked. I started with a body positivity sort of thing last summer. Now that I've learned to love my body, I'm ready to change it into what I want it to be. So…

Big boobs are awful! I wish mine were smaller! I envy those with small boobs!

My trick is to brush my teeth. Once I do that, I know I'm done eating for the day. I often do this about an hour before I want to go to bed which stops the need for a late night snack. First off, 1,000 calories doesn't sound like much! If you're exercising too, you need to take in more. We burn more calories in a day than…

I love this! Last summer I made myself stand in front of the mirror naked every morning and say one thing I liked about my body physically. It totally helped me learn to love my body as it is. I have always loved my legs, they're strong from 6 years of track and cross country (and I've somehow managed to keep that muscle…

Having one bad day isn't a big deal! It's been almost a week since I met or was below my calorie goal. My life just hasn't been that healthy recently. Give yourself the night off, you feel guilty for the way you ate plus if your body isn't handling that much sugar very well then you should probably just take it easy.

Pan and demi, and proud of it!

I was so drunk I tried to pour wine into my glass but the glass was upside down. Later that night I think I sat on a piece of pizza (judging from the stains on my shorts). When it was time for bed, I put my shirt on as shorts and slept topless. I was so incredibly confused (and hungover) when I woke up in the morning.
-
(I haven't run in years, mostly because I make up dumb excuses not to. My current one being my hair isn't the right length) I find motivation in people thinking I'm crazy for running. Also cute running clothes are a plus! :) I also remind myself of the "runner's high" I used to get and how great that felt.

Keep food out of sight, that tends to work well for me. Also put food into a dish and only eat that and put the package away. A smaller portion on a smaller plate looks like more food to your brain than a smaller portion on a large plate. When I think I'm hungry or just want to eat, I force myself to drink a full glass of…

Hey there! I'm speaking from 6 years of cross country running and track. For breathing try two breaths in, two breaths out or two breaths in and one breath out. If the sidewalk is too hard, try running on the side of the street (on the blacktop). As for starting running, that depends a lot on your current level of fitness.…
