If you aren't comfortable approaching people (I wasn't either) then I really recommend googling lifting weights at the gym. That is what I did, that and I observed other people. Don't be afraid to approach, I think you'll find that most people are willing to help! Everyone is there for the same reason (more or less) so…

Donuts. Fast food (although I favor some "healthier" options). Cereal (my kryptonite - I can never get enough of it!). Drinks with calories, aside from my homemade iced coffee (150 calories). I can't fathom the idea of drinking chocolate milk although it is my favorite. Shakes and most ice creams aren't worth it (I like…

I agree that thyroid conditions are VERY difficult to control. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (graves disease actually) when I was 16. I lost a ton of weight and was very very sick. My meds never leveled me out and by the time I was 18 my thyroid was practically burnt out (doctor's words, not mine). I started gaining…

I think you look a bit like Britt Robertson.

Well that sounds freaking delicious. I make my own iced coffee at home. I have a cold brew coffee maker and use hazelnut cream flavored coffee with about 1 cup of skim milk and some sugar free vanilla syrup. Yummy and so affordable.

3/2: 2 miles running on treadmill, plus 1/2 mile walk but I don't count any walking.

I haven't done this challenge before count me in. I've been running 2-3 miles 4 days a week and I have a 5k next weekend so I'll go with 50 miles for this month. I'll be able to increase my mileage once the weather warms up next week. We've been covered in snow and I've running on the dreadmill.

I definitely recommend getting fitted. I bought Brooks Ghost on my own and thought they were right for me but they were causing awful leg cramps/shin splints. I got fitted in a pair of Brooks Ravenna and they feel amazing!! No pain at all :)

I'm cheap but I guess I can be because I'm only a 34B haha. I like Champion's Gym Fit Sports Bra, it feels like cotton but has really good moisture wicking so I don't feel like I'm drowning in sweat.

Haha yes to both of these! I might chicken (or tuna) salad Sunday nights and eat it throughout the rest of the work week for lunch. Sealed up tight in a glass container and it still tastes first day fresh by Friday.

Lol I like this advice. I think people perceive bodies differently because they are covered in clothes. Unless you see me naked, or better yet live in my naked body then you really don't get to have an opinion on my body.

Isn't it crazy the things we worry about before we run? Sometimes I freak out over how I feel or look in my running clothes before I head out for a run. I worry people will think I look stupid or fat in my clothes or that something will jiggle and someone will notice. But once I step out there and run all those thoughts…

Just to clarify my addictions are NOT based solely on food..sex, people, certain habits..there are A LOT of things I become addicted to. I don't have an eating disorder, the point I was making is that it is easy for someone with that type of personality to develop an eating disorder. I am careful when counting calories…

I hate this statement. I'm not an idiot. I work full-time in a busy office and I'm a full-time college student finishing up my last year of my bachelor's degree in marketing and I already have an associate's degree in financial services...so I've experienced stress. Please understand that people don't get stressed out by…

Eat them back. At 1200 calories you can lose weight without even exercising. It is important that you eat back those calories so that you NET 1200 calories. When I was really overweight I lost over 50lbs on a 1350 calorie diet and I was eating to a net of 1350.

Bacon Chicken Salad on Oatmeal Bread. It is chicken, bacon, plain greek yogurt, a little bit of light mayo, green onions and some seasoning. I'm super excited lol.

Bhahaha! Love it!

I was running in Brooks Ghost for a few years and I really liked them. Recently I got fitted and they put me in a pair of Brooks Ravenna. I really like them so far but I haven't ran enough miles in them yet to really know lol.

My maintenance is only 1525, when I hit my goal weight it will only be 1377. Being short sucks lol. I'm 5'0"

Wow great job!

Next time use it as a topping on greek yogurt so that you don't feel as guilty lol.

I decided to forgo my regular protein granola that I put in my greek yogurt every morning so that I could have some girl scout cookies instead. I know I'm not working out today so I need to fit those cookies into my calories somehow, right?!? I regret nothing..

I just ignore everyone's comments because it is my body, not theirs. They don't have to live in my body so they don't get an opinion. I've lost over 50lbs and I'm still overweight (I've been lower--I gained about 20lbs back - my loss was 70lbs). Even though I'm overweight I always have people telling me that I'm too tiny…

I'm 5'0" and I weigh 137lb currently which is more than I'd like to weigh. I have quite a bit of muscle because I'm a runner but my hips and thighs are small so I usually wear either a 4 or 6 in some brands (US). When I was my lowest at 122lb I wore a 2 or a 4. Working on getting down to 110lbs. I wear kids clothes a…

Yikes! So you eat 1200 calories, burn off 900 calories, eat back half of those (450 calories)..so you are netting 750 calories? How on earth do you find the energy to burn off those calories on a 1200 calorie diet? I'm super short, so I need less calories..but I make sure to NET at least 1200 calories and I have no…

I do this type of stuff on the weekends..I like to splurge on fast food nachos from time to time :)

We are sort of in the same boat! I turn dirty 30 in August and I would love to be at my goal weight by then!
