Honestly, just start lifting. If you think you are getting too bulky, then stop. Trust me, that muscle will disappear quickly after you become a couch potato or just do cardio.

I overate by at least 300 calories, and I enjoyed every single bite. I knew very well that I was going over, and I purposely planned my week so I could eat overload today. I didn't choose the most prime-healthy choices either, but its one day. One day out of the months I eat well without splurging. So I feel no guilt what…

10 lbs. It's the worst. The scale is no longer my friend lol

Im currently going through this. I still have the habit of going and eating every few hours which is okay because I eat very healthy, but now-a-days I find myself going into the kitchen, feeling kind of unappealing, and leave only to force myself to eat something otherwise I wont make it to my calorie limit lol It's most…

Set a "goal time" when you want to finish your meal: Everytime I sit down to eat, I look at the clock tell myself "okay, finish eating when the clock reads...", usually I aim for twenty minutes. So if I sit down at 3:25, I make sure my meal lasts until 3:45 I often end up not even finishing my meal or making it to the time…

1) Lose last 10lbs Once that's done.. 2) Cut my BF % until Im at around 18-21 % BF Then.. 3) Eat my "reward" pizza I've been craving for the past two years! After that, it's just maintaining my new body and keeping up the healthy stuff!

I overload on water because its the only thing I allow myself to drink on a daily basis, with the weekends being my designated "cheat drink" day, so I have a diet coke, green tea, coffee, etc.. on those days. If you don't like water plain, add some lemon juice. Does wonders! If you have a hard time just drinking enough,…

Glad you got out of it! I was on the same boat -- I was definitely in starvation mode. I hit a plateau so I decided to increase my exercise. I was limiting myself close to a 1200 calorie diet, but I was exercising as if I was a college athlete. I walked to campus from my apartment (about 1 mile there, 1 mile back) every…

I agree, and I keep telling people -- once you start eating healthy, you won't want to go back to eating junk because the feeling you get! Your body wasn't getting all those nutrients before, and when you start eating clean, it gets those nutrients that its been lacking. Now thats its realized what foods gets those…

To me it's eating anything that a child would stick their nose up to and refuse to eat. So basically eating fruits, veggies, whole wheat, lean meats, no fast food, little processed food, etc.. Avoid cookies, icecream, chips, etc..

5'4" about 130 lbs, 28 % BF, size 8-10 depending on the brand. Medium shirt.

Im on the same boat; I'm burned out on exercise in general, like I don't have the energy to go out and do anything. Even walking to class makes me cringe. But I still go work out every week and push myself through it. Any other advice on getting motivated to work out again would be appreciated! I used to love working out,…

42 I feel pretty heart-healthy.

Cereal. I love the crunch. Pizza Meat pies. I can never say no to those.

It might sound disgusting, but if you're craving mexican food and like those Albacore or Chunk Light Tuna packets, here's something I do.. Make a big bowl of lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, etc.. whatever you like in a salad. Add a pack of fish (tuna or salmon, whichever float yours boat) Add about 0.5 tbs - 1 tbs of mexican…

Salmon filet Spinach salad with a few almonds Broccoli and cauliflower Small sweet potato

Thanks for all the replies! I'll be trying to take all the advice I've received here and see where it takes me. I think I'll lighten up the workout load to perhaps 5 days a week but keep the intensity up, and do the zigzag tactic, but increase my calorie uptake a little bit as well. It kind of dawned on me that 1200 is…

I need to lose about 15lbs by that time. I really need the motivation, too. I've never been able to wear a bikini and Im determined this to be my first summer to be able to do so! So add me please! :)
