Gorgeous!

Added you all! Thanks for the requests, everyone! Feel free to keep them coming! :)

I made sure to take walks when I could, just to clear my mind! It's nice to have a metal break from studying. I also hate the idea of all-nighters (when they're not really needed) - I always make sure to try and get my normal sleep quota because I'm useless without my sleep. I'm a bad tester, so that is really important to…

Working on a Bachelor of Music in Flute Performance! :)

I'd love more friends to help motivate me (and I them)! Especially if you're in college, I'd love to see what you're doing and how you're handling everything. Shoot me a request! :)

I mean...for me, of course part of me wants to look fit, but I have learned over the years that if I don't love myself the way that I am now, then I'm never going to love myself. I think that, if your motivation to get fit is so that you will "love yourself and look good", you won't get very far; and if you do, you won't…

^ exactly my point. The vows mean nothing if you don't follow them.

Honestly, if this happens a lot, I would not be putting up with it. I would much rather get divorced and spend the rest of my life with someone who truly loves me than stay with a man who constantly puts me down. My mom has been divorced twice. Her first divorce was with my dad, and let me just say that they did it for…

I'm a freshman, I haven't actually gained any weight yet but I've lost a lot of my "firmness" that I used to have from working out! Now that I live on campus I'm not doing the cardio I used to do at my house, and I'm super busy as well. I'd like to start jogging (too intimidated to go to the gym) and eating healthier (it's…

Hey and welcome! :) I think I'm going to start the shred to get back into my workout routine (it's been a couple months since I've done it regularly) and we could probably help each other out! Feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

Hello! :) I'm also 18, I'm 5'0" and needing to lose about 15lbs. I definitely know where you're coming from, wanting to feel confident and everything. One thing I always try to remind myself, though, is that even though I'm a little chubby, doesn't mean I can't change my attitude and love my body now! I used to get really…

I'm not a mother but I'm 5'0" and needing to lose about 15lbs as well, so I can definitely relate to you! Feel free to add me if you'd like! :) I'd love for us to help motivate each other!

Thanks everyone for the adds and encouragement! It's good to know that people are willing to stick with me (and I'll stick with you as well)! :))

Hey Lorraine! :) Oh man, I would love to try Zumba, I've heard it's a blast, although I'm pretty terrible at dancing so I'm not sure if it would work out! Maybe I'll get some friends to try it with me someday. And it really is a struggle, isn't it? I've had some ups and lots of downs and it's just a huge rollercoaster, or…

Yes, exactly. I don't know why people are getting so upset over this. Can't we all just have a friendly discussion without dissing other people and their habits? Jeez, lol. I just started taking birth control (mainly to control my abnormally intense menstrual cramps) and I'm really glad to see all of the different…

I definitely prefer both almond and coconut to regular and soy milk nowadays. I never really was a huge regular milk drinker, and I'm glad I tried coconut on a whim one time because I love the taste. I also enjoy coconut water every now and then, I forget what the brand name is but one of the options is coconut water with…

You look awesome, I bet you feel great! Congrats! :)

Awesome idea, I'd love to join! I'll be starting college as a freshman this August and I feel like it's going to be extremely tempting to slack off, so a group like this would keep me motivated despite being stressed and/or tired. :)

Without MFP I would be 17lbs heavier and have pretty bad eating/exercising habits. I'm managing 1200-1300 cals/day when I used to be eating 1800-2000 and I feel SO much better internally and externally now.

Me, too! I'll add anyone as long as they're losing the healthy way (no thinspo or shaming). :) I have a nice little group of friends but I'm always looking for support. They help me go further.

I definitely relate! I've lost about 16-17lbs (it goes back and forth every day) and they seemed to just fall off the first 5 months I started dieting. Now I've stayed the same for the past month and a half or so, only losing about 1lb per month, and I'm totally at a loss. I AM working out and toning up, though, so I'm…

I can't exactly say I'm a freshman 15er (since I'm a senior in high school) but I'll be starting college this coming fall, and I'm trying to reach my goal weight before I start so I can easily maintain it and hopefully not gain! :)

Hey, I'm so glad I saw this thread! I just posted a status about how February has been such a busy month that I sort of lost my good workout/eating habits. March is my "starting over" month! This challenge is perfect for me. I'd be so happy if you would send me the spreadsheet! :) (Also, I'm looking for some more…

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I'm going to look into each DVD and try some out. :) My mom also likes to have workouts, so she will be more than happy to order! Also, I think I will really enjoy running - I'm going to try starting out slow on my dad's treadmill (since it's nearing winter), and then hopefully when it…

I feel your pain. I'm 5'0" and weigh about 135 at the moment, and I'd love to get down to about 110, which is considered pretty good for my height. It's terrible how small weight gains can show so drastically. I've noticed pretty big improvements in just losing 10 pounds, so I can't even begin to imagine what I'll look…

After I started drinking less soda (diet, too - I've never been a fan of regular, anyway) I noticed how much slimmer I *felt*. All that carbonation bloats you, and when you really pay attention to your body, you will notice what foods bloat you and make you feel sluggish. I still drink a diet coke or two per week but it's…

Thanks, Cami! Your words are definitely words to live by. It's good to remind myself how much better I feel that I've lost 10lbs, and how much better I WILL feel once I lose more and get down to a healthy weight! I'd love to find some good snack ideas that are satisfying and healthy at the same time. :) Thank you, Angie! I…

white-tea.tumblr.com I'm actually a nature-y blog, with some other personal bits thrown in as well (like my guilty pleasure Whose Line Is It Anyway?). So, if you like that stuff, check out my blog! :)

Welcome! This site is definitely the place to be for those of us who are wanting to watch what we eat. Before I started tracking it, my weight loss was almost impossible, since I really had no idea how many calories I was consuming (vs. how many I SHOULD be consuming) so when I signed up for this site, it totally changed…

Thank you! I'm so excited! I always struggle through the holidays, and I think this group will really help me. :)
