You're right. I'm just afraid it means my self control is not good and that I'm not going to lose the weight I want to lose. It was just scary to see. By so much better than how I'd been eating before anyway. Thank you!

I say healthy because I associated salad/salad dressing with being healthy and I think that a 210 calorie salad dressing which 80% of is calories from fat hardly counts as such. Maybe that logic only functions for me.

I am currently 270, I disliked my body immensely when I was in the 130s, so I'm aiming for 150s. BMI doesn't really work for me, as it never took into account muscle, I was fit and healthy at 150, so that's the goal right now.

I wish. This is my last semester and if I get into grad school then the cycle starts to repeat itself all over again. I actually just received a grant which I'm really excited about, so what I'm hoping is that since my schedule will be so tight, I will have to get better with my planing, including my food and exercise,…

Actually, all I drink is water outside of the couple of beers I have every so often with my friends. The skin issues are with the areas that see more friction than other areas. I should have been clear. But thank you!

I do, I start class next week and I was going to start doing some of my exercises at the center. We have a treadmill at my house, but I really want access to the weights.

I forgot to include, that I can't afford a personal trainer, because I would love one, but I do not have the means. Tuition is quite expensive these days...

Seriously? I played that game for fun for like an hour today, I had no idea I could count it as exercise.

I'm the same way. When I get down to my smallest weight I'll still have the broadest shoulders and the thickest thighs and calves. It's muscle, you're strong, you're beautiful and they're ridiculous to poke fun at you for something that means you are healthy. You're strong and beautiful.

Ikea one year gave out bikes to their employees for christmas bonuses and yes, you had to put them together.

I weigh in every Monday.

30DS is by Jillian Micheals. It's a 4 week program where you exercise 5-6 times a week using then 30-37 min long video that she has for the week.

Bump! I've been worrying about this all month!

bwhaha :)

Ripped in 30 is great.

I figured with the "all jokes aside", but I quoted this one because it was the most recent one in the post. No offense intended.

I love water, I always have. I've found that since I've drank it so consistently sugary drinks don't really quench my thirst and have been kicked completely out of my diet. I would also agree with the complexion, you really start to glow when you increase your water intake. Also If I have a cup of water before dinner I eat…

I love your humor, you seriously have me cracking up over here.

My boyfriends parents try a wheat tortilla base instead of dough. Also you can sub pico de gallo for tomato sauce. I personally make mine with low sodium tomato sauce and then some mozzerella and put pineapple on top!

seriously, although you say it's a long story it sounds a little bit selfish. But if I were in your shoes, I totally agree with the sugar free gum, or wait to brush your teeth for bed til right before he wants his snacks

student trying to be an art historian (sound absolutely boring I know, but you love all the weirdest things right?)

1. What led you to begin journaling? It always felt like it was a way to work out all things in my head and something to look back on when I wondere what I was like in 7th grad (which is terrifying) 2. How often do/did you journal? I try daily and I am successful most of the time. 3. What tools or techniques help you to…

When I could hold up the water in the bathtub behind my hips and when I realized that my insecurity stemming form my being overweight would eventually push my boyfriend away. Also, so my mother would quit her *****in'.

My mother told me that if I didn't lose weight I had to move out because she was tired of looking at me. At my college orientation we had to pick foods that started with our first names (mine is MaryAnn) and these two guys said marshmallow and just busted out laughing.

bob harper extreme weight loss cardio is only like $10 bucks at walmart and is fantastic. I'm doing that and Jillian Micheals 30 day rip or shred or whatever which they also sell at walmart, but you might be able to torrent them.

@hoyagirl03 really? for me the longer i wait the worse mcds taste to me. It's weird. I love just a plain cheeseburger from there though.

Runaway Baby - Bruno Mars Don't wanna go home - Jason Derulo End of time - Beyonce give Me everything - Pit bull and Neyo Till the world Ends - Britney Spears Who's that Chick - David Guetta ft.

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited. I actually just bought a few work out videos. (I'm one of those that is embarrassed to go to the gym) I'm starting workouts tomorrow. Here's to consistency!
