If you have no upper body strength try just holding a plank position for 30-60 seconds. Since you're having a hard time already, just hold the easy push up pose (on your knees and hands). After some time you'll gain strength enough to do push ups, and then try doing the regular plank position (on toes and hands).

We aren't engaged yet, but we've been together for almost 5 1/2 years. Our first Christmas together (9 months after we started dating), he bought me a promise ring, so I know we'll get married someday. We're also pretty young still, I'm 21 and he's 22 and we're still going to college. We've lived together for two years…

At my skinniest, which was 125 lbs being 5'4" I wore a size 4-6 or 7 (U.S.) depending on the brand/store. I'm currently 139lbs and I can fit into size 8s, but some don't fit well yet. I also can fit into one pair of size 7 pants. At 155lbs I bought size 9's when they hardly fit, and only owned one pair of size 11 shorts. I…

Those are awesomely cute names! I can't wait to have more pets to give cool names!

Here is the truth about this non-scandal. http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2012/06/27/fast-and-furious-truth/ "The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal June 27, 2012: 5:00 AM ET A Fortune investigation reveals that the ATF never intentionally allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

If you can't spend the money on clothes you could always take in your own clothes. I'm sure you could find something on youtube showing how, if you don't know how to yet. Without a sewing machine may take longer, but maybe your mother, sister, or friend has a sewing machine you could use?

Lol!! My aunt once tried my dad's contacts back when they were all hard lenses and it was stuck in her eye for a few hours.

I want to get laser corrective surgery eventually, way too broke as a college student though. Once I graduate and make some money, I'll definitely get it done

I don't think you should focus on the number on the scale because you already look good! You should try lifting heavy weights because that would slim down whatever little fat you have and give you some definition.

In the morning I don't eat before I workout, I just have a cup or more of water before I exercise. If I'm working out in the afternoon or evening, I wait about 30-60 minutes after a meal to exercise.

There is definitely a difference! Weight training will make you gain muscle and that's why you haven't lost a LOT of weight. 4 lbs in a month is still pretty good. It definitely looks like you lost more than 4 lbs; your face is thinner, arms and legs smaller, and by how much further your hand is on your waist I can tell…

And my boyfriend just got an unexpected $500 from his parents. Wow, what a great day!

Just got the second job at the grocery store.

Thanks everyone, this definitely some good information! I'm going to avoid speed work and just work on endurance and distance. Thanks again for all the help!

Lol that's pretty hilarious. But an awesome NSV! Congrats!

I don't think you're thread worthy, Troll.

bump!

Thanks to everyone who gave a decent answer. I can't believe how judgmental some of you have been in this thread, you know nothing about me. I was telling you all not to give me advice on how to save money, because I'm already past that point! I've been cutting back as much as I can, I use a calculator at the grocery store…

I don't think I would or could strip. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that for anybody but my boyfriend, and even if I didn't have a boyfriend I feel like it would just be a bunch of guys sizing me up and thinking about f*cking me. I already get uncomfortable when I get cat called walking down the street in regular…

I have a small waist; 26.5 inches. But the fat around my belly is my trouble area: 35.5 inches. I hope to have a 24-25 inch waist and 30 inches around my belly.

It's 50 miles in one day so 250 miles a week, and gas is at $3.69 where I live. So for 8.3 gallons of gas it's $32 and the tank holds at least 10 gallons so I pay $35-$40 per week. I don't drive a tank. I drive 5 days a week. You're right actually, my tattoo is going to remain partially done for a while, not only because…

Thanks for all of this info everyone! My goal time for the 5k in August is 30 minutes, maybe less if possible. I don't know how many miles I run a week, but definitely less than 15-20. I'll start keeping track of how far I go and start running more instead of working on speed. I wear my HRM when I run, so should I be "in…

This is something I've searched for before, but not recently. I love kids and have experience with taking care of them as i have two nephews and a niece. This is probably where I'll start right now since I could probably get some quick cash.

I wish I could borrow from my parents, but they are also in a tight financial situation right now.

And if you would all really like to know, I'll tell you how much I make right now! I make $10.50 an hour and work about 15 hours per week. My first check was only $89 because it was short training days. My second check was $125 and my third was $135. I drive 25 miles to get to the job because it was the first place to call…

The people I am "defensive" to are saying to not ask for money. The title of the thread asks how to ask him. I don't spend on hair or nails, I don't have cable, or even an antenna for tv. I have some old lady dishes to sell. Plasma probably won't be a good idea considering I work a very physical job and the only time I am…

I don't need $1500. I only need $150. I'm making some money, I just don't have enough!

I was going to come up with some type of plan for how much I need. I do have a plan for next month, which is having a second job and getting caught up from being in a tough spot. Yes, find different living arrangements, that makes sense?! Wtf, really? I've never in my life had problems paying my rent before now. People get…

Well, I guess I'll just move my stuff to the street now, because I need to pay rent somehow!

Did you not read my original post?! Wtf?! I said I was looking for a second job, and just had an interview on Friday. I'm not some freeloader, I'm a broke college student!
