Slow & steady wins the race. You cannot spot reduce sadly, but you can build muscle and focus on losing fat, which MAY help you lose thigh fat. It all really depends on your body build and where you build/lose fat first. Not everyone when they lose gets a thigh gap. It's better to focus on just bettering your body rather…

bumping cause this looks delicious.

The best thing is gradual changes! I cannot express that enough. I am a GIANT carb lover but to this day I have managed to cut out bread and pasta. (: The first step, is changing from white to brown. That is going from plain white bread to whole wheat. After that, slowly cut down your portions and replace it with protein.…

i'm sure you've heard of the flourless pancake recipe, but i alternated whole eggs with egg beaters to make even MORE with less calories! (: 1 whole egg (70 cal) 3/4 cup egg beaters (90 cal) 1 banana (~105 cal) whisk it all together while making sure the bananas are well mashed up, then pour the mix in a sprayed pan and…

air-popped popcorn! 15 cal per cup (:
-
I saw it here that 2 cups equals about 56, so a half cup would be about 14 calories
-
Actually I'm pretty sure the unpopped kernels are way higher in calories than popped. I mean, I eat them cause I LOVE the half popped ones but I have popcorn kernels that I air pop, and the nutritional info says it's about 130 cal for 3 tbsp unpopped while 1 cup popped is 40 or so. I don't understand why but a little bit…

you're probably eventually going to plateau with that amount of calories, it seems a little too low. It'll probably work for a little bit but if you see yourself not losing anymore I'd shoot for 1600 like you said and see where that goes. (:
-
You have to find food peace. You can't be afraid of food. (: Realize that as long as your consuming your recommended calorie amount and eating mainly healthy food along with exercising, you really shouldn't worry about gaining it back! Weight fluctuates and you know what, everyone has their bad days when it comes to food!…

THIS. so veryvery true.

if you have a choice between running on concrete (road, sidewalks, etc.) and grass, run on grass. Especially if you're a new-ish runner; gives you a reduced chance of getting shin splints. (:
-
I'd definitely take Saturday off! Friday would depend on how sore your muscles feel that day; if they're really sore it won't hurt you to take another day off, and if they aren't so bad i'd do a light run or just walking for a bit. (:
-
I'm pear-shaped (thighs are bigger than the rest of my body) and I know exactly what you're talking about! It helps to switch up your cardio routines alot, while still strength training. Like instead of running all the time, try the stair master, biking, zumba, etc. (: Anything to differentiate really helps! Watching what…
-
I follow the never under 1200 rule unless there's that rare day where I'm just stuffed and can't force anything else down my throat but I normally like to average around 1300 - 1600 depending on my exercise and calories burned that day (:

Unfortunately, there's no 100% accurate BMI calculator. The most accurate though, is one where it includes not only your height, weight, and gender, but one that includes body measurements as well (hips, chest, neck, etc.) Don't be discouraged by your BMI, the muscle will throw the scale off since muscle weighs more than…

Carbs are better for longer distance runs anyways - I don't stock up on carbs a day before I do a long run and I'm fine. You just have to see what works best for you. (:
-
I don't know if you're a big fan of soy, but I always cut up half a pack of tofu and then have a bag of frozen edamame to heat up - it's delicious and filling! Canned chicken and packaged salmon are also big for me cause it's easier to transport, but tupperware can help if you cook a packaged chicken/salmon the night…
-
I was the same exact way as you too, I'd go two days without having barely a cup of water. What helps is to carry it EVERYWHERE with you! If you're on the computer, watching tv, or just running somewhere, it's good to have (: You may not always feel thirsty but taking sips and having it right in front of you is very…
-
Any type of fruit/veggies are optimal, I bring at least 2-3 snacks with me per day (: Hard boiled eggs & yogurt are another favorite of mine too!
-
once i get that fit toned belly i want i'm planning to get a belly button piercing! clothes and massages are well deserved too (:
-
nope! as long as you aren't overreating or consuming large amounts of unhealthy foods and keeping up with your exercise, you should have no problem losing weight. (:
-
I've been on Loestrin 24Fe for about 3 years and I've never had any problems with extreme weight gain nor do I have any problems losing weight either! Seems to work pretty well (:
-
I think anyone who enjoys running or just keeps up with running on a regular basis is allowed to call themselves a runner! I used to run in the gym as a warm-up but this summer I've started seriously training myself and building endurance. The most I've ever done continuously is 4.5 miles but normally I can do about 4. (:
-
Juice is filled with sneaky sugars! Basically, replace all liquids with water and make sure to get at least 8 cups a day!
-
High sodium & anything carbonated normally lead to a bloated belly, so if you're consuming anything like that, it'd probably be best to avoid them!
-
@Krizzo87 yes! your eyes are super pretty (:

Homemade Egg Drop Soup! (: Fills you up, low-cal, and delicious! What you’ll need: Swanson’s 99% Fat-Free Chicken Broth (Beef works fine too - it just doesn’t taste as good in my opinion (: ) Egg Beaters OR 3 Large Eggs How to: 1) Fill pot up with 1 FULL container of Swanson’s Chicken Broth and put on med-high heat. Bring…

I'm 5' 9" and sadly I tower over most boys in my school. ): I do love wearing heels though! People make comments like how I look like a giraffe when I wear them, but I'm proud of my height and proud to be rocking heels. (:
