QOTD 3 Do you use supplements or vitamins. If so which ones do u use and why. And if you do not why? I do not use anything actively. I do have a protien powder. O believe it's called no carb isopure or something. I'll get back to anyone if they are interested. I use it to get my protien. It can double as a meal replacement…

Thats a great NSV.

We all know we should work out regularly in order to make a transition to a healthy life. But be honest: Do you enjoy working out? And what is your favorite workout? Can you give any tips/suggest any fun workouts for those who may still struggle with this part of getting healthy and losing weight? It depends. I have my…

I'll park farther away so i get more walking in. Plus im not an aggressive parker so I usually don't get good parking spots. Although it's nearing fall, in SoCal, the weather stays warm, so I might end up a sweaty little piggy by the time I arrive! As far as walking up the stairs 2x, do you mean 1 way there and then the…

Great job!!!!!

Welcome SoCal!! Where the weather is hardly an excuse to not work out. The forums are super helpful to keep you on track! You just need to find your motivation to keep logging on, and the people here are helpful too.

My first memory of being very excited would probably have to be when my mother was pregnant with my little bro . I was 3 years old. Idk if anyone remembers the toy kitchens for kids, well I always thought that inside my moms belly my little brother was playing with one. Now my favorite memory would be when I get rid of the…

My exercise times are early am before I start my day! That way school or any other excuse I think of won't get in the way. I start school tomorrow. I'm hoping this week goes smoothly.

Bump

Oohh yummy yummy in my tummy. I'm going to try this!

Muscle does not weigh more than fat. Muscle is more dense and takes up less space. Many times people overestimate calories burned and underestimate calories consumed. Try to pick a time to weigh yourself like in the mornings. Keep your head up, you'll find what works best for you. Don't give up.

Blend some pineapple, add some spinach, you get a delicious super green drink without the yuck. Taste like juice heaven!

Dont give up yet!!!!!!!

In my opinion I think she's has some underlying issues as we all do. And maybe if she was poor, her outlook might be different. But to judge her and call her out just because of her weight is wrong too. Yes her quality of life looks like hell but she choose that and its rude of us to say otherwise. Whether you are skinny,…

That's awesome. It's been said, it takes 21days to make or break a habit! Keep it up and I even bet your study habits might improve too with your lifestyle change!! Oh and I'm rooting for you to get to ONEderland :) Good luck I start school next week so if you can do it, so can I.

Usually I just leave wiggle room for drinking too. You can't live in a hole your whole life! What's the point of looking better and living a healthier life if your going to spend most of your life indoors because you can't handle it. OP Keep doing your thing!

Thank you. And correct me if I'm wrong, you can't/ dont turn fat into muscle or vice versa . You have fat and muscle tissues organ w.e the terminology is. You either gain or lose one of the masses they do not turn into each other.

If possible, try going to your dr. Office to make sure all is good. Professional opinion is always nice if it's available. Either way, good luck on the rest of your journey :)

I see where you are coming from, not from experience though. I live in a beach city so bathing suits are always in season. The thing that sucks is that they get pretty pricey. If the bottoms fit snuggish, try to get a new top.

My whole family are my enablers. They also joke around and they are starting to get tired of me and my health food and health comments. But it's a 2 way street. I'll stop all my comment when they stop trying to make me eat their deliciously yet unhealthy food. I'm not married never have been, so I know it's a whole diff…

I've been working weekends since I was 16 yrs old. I don't know what Saturday morning is lol. But I don't get hangovers ever. I guess that's the price I pay.

I'm sorry for your experience. I have never had that eating disorder, I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. Yes, I think it is silly you think you are fat if your not medically but that's my opinion. I suggest starting a group with people who identify with you versus trying to have people from a different walk to life…

Very inspirational. Thanks. I understand your struggle. I was never thin in high school but I was not obese or too self conscious. I loved hs. Now I feel like I'll be happy thinner but deep down inside I know that's not what will make me truly happy. It's just hard being 21 and young. I'm still trying to find myself but…

21 years young and 50+ lbs to lose!

I workout early am so I get home, shower, and if I have energy, make breakfast then nap. But only because I'm still on summer break.

Oh man you gals would not like me. I would just reconnect the hoodingy back into the outlet.

It's too hot, I don't have "blank" clean, I have to study, I just straightened my hair, I'm too lazy, too tired, i dont have time and my favorite: I'll do it tomorrow morning or I'll just start Monday

I would not get cotton panties to workout, they just ride up (wedgie status). But yay!!! This is a NSV :) I say just shop around "regular" people stores and find the store that's you and your go to for your wardrobe malfunction due to weight loss!

@faithsvegworkout: Math whoo hoo :) I have a gym membership and I will get over my fear and anxiety of the gym, it's a goal :) but I can't promise I'll join my campus gym.
