oh and that is totally me with the power walking. i could probably power walk all day. but after running for even a minute i want to lay down and die...

i'll start with you! i'm kind of struggling right now with eating and such, but i know i need to get my journey back on track. i'll try my best!

i love this! thanks for posting!

our school's photo company posted our HS graduation pics today. EW. BIG wake-up call.

thank you! i really like the "fake it til you make it" idea. i think i am going to take a break for a week, then start making little changes and work up to dieting. then i will just tell myself that i need to eat healthfully and exercise for 1 week, whether i like it or not, and see how it goes. i am also going to join…

thanks you guys for responding. i guess i'm just conflicted. i have absolutely no motivation right now, but at the same time, if i sat down and told myself that i was just going to stop losing weight and accept the way i look right now, i don't think i would be able to do it. i know i'm throwing my life away. i can't do…

thanks everyone! yeah i'm thinking i'm just not drinking enough. i am going to try to drink a little more and see if it helps. and about the pretzels...i have a pretty weak stomach, so i can't really eat that much before working out. not much tastes good to me in the morning, but i'm afraid of fainting, so i try to at…

I probably should drink more beforehand...the problem is I'm afraid if I drink anymore I'll get cramps while I'm working out.

hey! i'm 18 and am about to finish high school too! trying to look/feel my best before college. feel free to add me! :)

i posted about this a couple of weeks ago, and most people told me to log it as circuit training, especially if you are doing it with the weights. i usually log it as that, but i put in 20 or 25 minutes instead of 30. i guess the best answer would be to get a heart rate monitor, but i don't have one either, so i just…

i guess i'll be the one to post it...FRIDAY! i hate that song more than you could imagine but it is soooo catchy! oh and call me maybe...again, one of those that just gets stuck in your head!

oh my gosh! you are AMAZING! i'm your same age...i have run into so many roadblocks along this journey. when i gain weight, i'm too fat. when i tell my friends i'm trying to lose weight, i'm "perfect the way i am." its sooo tough! pm-ing you now! thanks for the inspiration!

well you guys are making me feel like 10x better....at least i'm not the only one!

ugh its so gross and i don't know how to stop it! and its wrecking my grades and my body. what do you guys do to stop this cycle?

i will for sure! i probably won't start until tomorrow though...2012slimjim when were you thinking about starting?

ooh! i am in! i'm sooo bad at drinking water...maybe this will give me the push i need!

ok these are fantastic answers! thanks so much guys. just reading these and made me less bored!

great ideas! i love listening to music. i used to read pretty much 24/7 and just in the past few years i've stopped. i should pick it up again!

yeah i am looking for a different hobby. dancing sounds fun too! i love just dance 3, but after a while i get kind of tired of the songs. and while homework is always a blast...yeah not so much :) thanks for the suggestions guys!

whenever you comment on a post, it goes into under the section with your topics on your profile. when you don't have time to read something or want to remind yourself of it for later, just write bump. it will be saved, and then you can go back to it whenever you want.

this is AWESOME! i just did fitness testing at school...yup. that went well. and i'm doing the 30 day shred too! i've been doing girl push ups throughout, and i thought that because i had been working at it, my regular pushups would be better. yeah, not so much. :) thanks for sharing!

its never happened before...its just that i'm doing the 30 day shred right now and there is a lot of jumping involved. just not sure i'm comfortable doing it with food in my stomach.

i have actually heard a lot of people say that its better not to eat anything. i just worry about not having enough energy or passing out or something. i know. i'm strange like that.

you are FANTASTIC! keep up the good work girl...you are looking AWESOME!!!

thanks guys! i'm hoping i can squeeze it all in in the morning. i'll experiment to see how much and how long before i should eat.

thank you so much guys! mfp ROCKS! while reading your posts, i realized that i have been eating the right amount of calories, but not necessarily the right nutrients. DUH! i am going to reassess WHAT i am eating, not how many calories are in the foods i eat. hopefully that will help! thanks SO much for all of the support!

bump! i need this motivation too!

bmr according to mfp is 1,645 calories

Thanks guys! i think ripped in 30 sounds like a good option for now. i'm also thinking of trying one of jillian's yoga dvds.
