I work out usually 6 days a week for about an hour every day, sometimes a little less sometimes more. On average i burn 300-500 per workout. I also walk everywhere, which usually adds 100-200 a day. I honestly dont have a problem with energy. It doesnt talk a lot to make me feel full. I eat lots of food with high water…

I think this depends on the type of fat you are talking about. "good fats" really are GOOD. That doesnt mean all fat is good for you. It doesnt mean you should be eating tons of bacon and burgers and hunks of cheese and heavy cream.

This is a really difficult question to respond to. I felt that I couldnt lose weight at school with an unhealthy boyfriend and I was incredibly frustrated. Then something clicked and it got easier. I dont know how to help you get to that point though. For me I think watching the biggest loser helped me get to a point where…

It depends what you mean by "okay". You probably will still lose for a while at least but it will be harder when you are close to your goal (sorry I actually didnt look at your stats so maybe you are). But its not good for you. Even though weight loss is mostly about calorie intake, health is not. Junk food is really junk,…

i mean it doesnt "reduce" the area but it changes the way it looks

anyone?

if my initial goal is 1300 i eat at least that much, sometimes eat back some exercise calories but honestly i dont worry about it that much. If i eat 3 healthy meals Im not going to eat extra to get to a certain number. (Lol and yes, people will attack this comment, but im just giving my opinion !) I feel like the calories…

This is not necessarily true. I didnt look at the specific exercises but 10 calories a minute is a good workout, and usually a starting point for me.

I do this as much as possible but I eat in the dinning halls at school so its far from the way I eat when im home. Add me if you like but its probably not quite what you are looking for. (Lol its not what im looking for either)

they are good for you. Just figure them into your calories for the day .

there are so many people i would never tell! To lots of college students losing weight on purpose is not a "cool" thing to do, it means you care too much about the superficial. I just dont bring it up because i dont want to get into conversations where I appear to be against body acceptance etc.

girl i hear you! The more i work out the bigger they get, even if i try to not work them lol. I have no idea what to do about this. At least you have big butt go with them! My thighs disproportionately big for my body.

ahhh pizza was my downfall. I cant look anymore lol

switch to 1300. if you are not losing at 1300 reconsider

im 5 1, I eat around 1200 every day and I did plateau for a little while, and got out of it through calorie cycling. As long as you throw a few spike days in there you should be fine.

23 is not too young but I understand the economic concerns. Have you considered adoption ?

that being said, i dont recommend it, i need a better system

I wear 2 bras when i run, so i put my ipod, phone and keys in between them lol

treadmill? 30. (So boring !) If i run outside maybe about an hour of running

yuck I hate this. Why should men pay for the first date? I understand that its a tradition or whatever, but think about what it symbolizes! IMO he can only pay if I pay the next time. Or its my birthday. If women want to be treated like equals than how can we expect to use sexist practices when they suite our needs?…

good luck! there are lots of tricks to feeling full on less calories! Im a short person so I have to keep my calorie intake low. Feel free to check out my diary for tips

calorie cycling. similar to zig zagging though, so you may have already tried it.

I have one great under armor bra. Otherwise I just wear two sports bras. and a shirt with a built in bra lol.

I was on antibiotics so I didnt drink. Its amazing how much of a difference that makes for me! not only do i not get the calories from the drinks but i also dont eat tons of crap like i usually do when i drink.

great job! Like people have said, try strength training ! dont be sad if that makes the scale stand still for a while, take your measurements instead. Good luck! (also dont be afraid to go hard! )

i dont think its necessarily a bad thing. Helps keep you on track !

Thats probably a good idea to up your calorie intake. There are some healthy foods that are calorie dense. Try avacados, almonds (any nuts actually), greek yogurt, olive oil, salmon, sunflower seeds etc. All these foods have really important oils. Your skin and hair might improve as well.

its ok to not eat back all your exercise calories. Some people always do but personally I think of it like wiggle room. If im out with my friends or extra hungry then I have options.

no fair ! mine are shrinking AND sagging ! its like the skin doesnt know what to do!! Any tips?

I have heard this before but im not sure that it is true for me. As a lose my ratio gets smaller. My hips are shrinking much faster than my waist.
