i need to give this a shot!

thanks for all the help y'all! i will definitely try to make my own foods and add more veggies. it's just so hard to do while in college. but i will try my hardest! thanks for all the motivation (:

updated it! (:

i have a problem drinking super cold water, also. i prefer no ice in my water so around room temperature. i used to LOVE ice in my water, but now i can't stand my water to be too cold for some reason. i drink more water when it's not freezing cold.

i've done my best to cut out diet soda. i feel like it makes me hungrier and i've heard that it can actually cause you to gain weight. i've done pretty much the same things as you with cutting out red meat and drinking unsweetened tea and water. i drink a TON of water haha.

OHHHH i wanna give it a go!

yay! good for you dear!

you look AWESOME!! i've been stuck for awhile myself. you are definitely an inspiration to me.

depriving yourself doesn't do any good. and don't stress too much over it. don't overeat or anything, but allow yourself to enjoy the delicious food the holidays bring (:

congrats to you!! that is so awesome

you all are SO SWEET! thank you so much. all of your kind words have kicked my butt back into gear. so thank you sooooo much. this all means more to me than you all know. <3

thanks so much! i suck in my stomach in pictures a little, and you can't really see my belly when i stand up. sooooo it's probably mainly an illusion to you haha. oh, and putting your hand on your waist helps with the illusion (; but thanks girl. i just looked at your profile and you're doing fantastic! i'm jealous of YOU!!

thank you so much! for me, i really needed to stop eating so much JUNK. and my biggest thing is to drink water. i realize that on my off days i usually drank hardly any water. you also have to completely stop drinking diet coke. it makes you hungry for some reason. water will control your hunger. (but it doesn't really…

gahhhh thank you so much! that is so kind of you to say (:

i'm about 5'7" and 19 years old. thank you everyone!! you are all so kind. it makes me feel so good that people i don't even know think i'm doing awesome. thanks you so much!!

girrrrrl, you look awesome!! btw- where did you get that ADORABLE dress?!

this is something i really need to work on. being in college, it's extremely difficult to have a normal, healthy sleep pattern.

i absolutely loved this! it gave me so much inspiration. thanks for sharing it!

congrats! that is so inspiring! how exciting for you (:

I completely understand that! You have to eat a lot of protein too. Add hard boiled eggs, chicken, canned tuna (very low cal and very high protein). For your snacks, add a little protein to them too. Like apples with peanut butter. Hope this helps!

i totally understand! i'm doing C25K also. I just finished week 3 and i think i'm going to repeat the week again. it was intense, but i felt so great after!

bumppp!

this was all really helpful to me. i'm going to pick up some of her dvd's at target today too. i love her show "losing it with jillian" so i'm excited to try out her dvds!

bump for later thanks!! (:

bump to see responses

hey! i also get up early and go to the gym. i eat a luna bar every morning. i know they're made for women, but they're made by the same company that makes clif bars. Clif bars are actually really delicious. you should try a clif bar. my luna bar keeps me energized for my entire workout (:

i start on week 2 tomorrow. i'm excited. congrats on yours!

girl, i feel ya. but i can promise you that you don't look bad. everyone thinks pictures of themselves are horrible. i'm quite the picture taker myself now. i've learned that even though you may not like a picture right now, you will like it later on. it's weird, but true. as for this boy, i'll bet he thinks YOU'RE out of…

you're completely right. i would prefer to think that it will all work out rather than worry about it not working out. i just PRAY it really does work out. you're right, it's the most frustrating thing to give it your all and see that it makes no difference. i hope, for you and i both, that we eventually figure out what…

girl, we are just about in the same boat. i too have floated around the 190-200 lbs range for 5 years and i need to lose close to 40 lbs as well. we should definitely motivate each other. i think it would be so much more motivating for us since we have the same goals (: and i go to college in wilmington, nc. which is 10…
