Yes, if you eat back all of your calories, then you are doing what you should do in order to MAINTAIN weight, not lose it.

The protein up will help you build healthy muscle which is what is going to make you more toned and personally, when I'm doing strength training along with the rest, I get even more energy and feel much better rather than feeling drained. If you are nervous about feeling too drained, I would suggest trying to do maybe four…

I've got about 60 more pounds to lose and have gone up and done several times, but am going at it hard once again so any of you can definitely add me!

I'm kinda late too but would love to jump on board. I will aim to as close to 20 lbs as I can but 20 in a month and a half is pushing it but we'll see where I get. SW-193 GW-175

Hi, I'm a college senior and know all about dealing with weight and trying to lose it at college. I was doing really well last year and this summer but haven't been doing so hot this year as its gotten way crazy this semester and I'm munching and drinking a lot of pop and not exercising like i was. I've gone back up some,…

I'll just start now-but I'm in :) ...today I did about 35 minutes-at least what I logged anyway 35/1440

I was Catholic until I was about 6 but went to a Catholic school and so many people gave stuff up because they felt they had to, I would usually give something up and do my best to stick to it in order to help my friends stick to theirs but I didn't care a whole lot. It wasn't until i came to college that I really began to…

I agree with the person above. It depends on what you added for your normal activity during the day. I'm a college student so I do spend a good amount of the day sitting and studying but I walk around campus every day as well so I added a middle one. Also, the normal amount of steps is actually between 8000 and 10,000 (but…

I think you look great the way you are now...even the middle pictures! I would definitely say start working on maintaining and work on toning your muscles more if you still want goals to work towards...Nice Work!!

I was addicted to dr. pepper and mountain dew last year...Since I've started drinking more water, I barely ever choose anything but water or lemonade...I have had an occasional soda--as long as you make sure you count it in your food diary, its ok once in a while...but I can't take the sugar or anything any more

I kind of go with how I'm feeling or how my schedule goes...amount of activities or homework I have as I'm in college...but I try to go about every day more because I feel really good after my workouts so I go because I know I'm going to feel better when I'm done. I've only been working out for a couple of weeks and I'm…

I'm in! Should be a great week

I say do what you've gotta do...if it helps to make a little noise, go for it...who cares what other people think. I've done it whether there were people there or not.

First, make sure they are shin splints b/c that would be an important way to make sure that is what you are experiencing and not sore muscles, like someone said before. Sore muscles are more likely if you are doing the couch to running program probably if you haven't done any exercise in a while, and you will feel more of…

I have about 60-80 to lose...got off the wagon in Dec. Hoping the new year will bring new motivation!

Since I'm assuming you mean Dec. 24th, I'm in too. Jenny SW: 217 GW: 200 Ht: 5'4''

For me, when I'm running to class, I usually grab a granola bar, not necessarily the healthiest but fills me up enough to focus in a few hours of classes...I always drink a good amount of water with it too.
