Hey I'm 25 living in NYC. Trying to lose weight has been really difficult so it would be great to get some extra motivation. I'm down about 20 pounds since I first started, but kind of hit a mental barrier so I'm working on that now. I've been so stressed about finding a job so I had to make that a priority. I just got…

You guys are awesome! I had a similar experience when I turned 25 a couple months ago. Pretty much freaked out like OMG I can't believe I'm still overweight. Definitely been taking my goals more seriously. It's hard to break old habits so I'm taking things a day at a time and trying to make the best decision with the…

Hey there! I'm 25 and looking to lose 75 pounds. I've lost about 20 pounds so far then I sort of took a break for a couple months over the holidays and now I'm trying to get back into it! Definitely could use some support too. What kind of exercise do you like doing?

Wanted to eat the chocolate donuts my mom bought then decided to eat fruit instead. I went over my calories today, but it could have been a lot worse if I let myself binge : /

Number 1: I can carry 30-40 pounds of groceries up to my third floor walkup without a pause so my mom doesn't help as much hahah

Amazing progress! I say you're both winners!

Total hottie now! I would awkardly hit on you if I saw you on the street haha good luck with the surgery

I love Cindy Lauper and your dress and your bag and your shoes! Have a great time!!!

You should use a better camera in a well lit area. And you need a good angle usually from above makes you look thinner that's why all those selfie pics are people looking up at the camera. If you're looking down at it you're going to turn out bigger that's just how the camera works. There are angles your body looks better…

thanks everyone! I think I'll probably just try the phone app to start off and see how that goes

i love that store too! Great job! You look amazing!!!

@yoginimary yeah I'm going to start out with the basics, and then eventually move on to bikram I think once I learn more of the poses. I think I've only done a handful of classes before so there's still a lot to learn @bettepower What do you like about Bikram? Do you have epiphanies about life? My cousin went to one and…

The Historian is one of my favoritesssss. It blends some historical topics like Europe's relationship with the Ottoman Empire and legends about Vlad the Impaler/Dracula. I'm a super history nerd btw :)

damnnnnn boy thats awesome!

great job! Love your tattoos!!

same here! I lied on my driver's license back in the day. It's wayyy off now. Great idea to use that as inpiration!

awesome job!

you look great congrats!!

great job! keep it up!

thanks everyone! All those goals are amazing, I'm still thinking about which ones I want to pursue definitely a lot of good ones

Maybe try looking up Indian recipes? I know they have a lot of vegetarians so it might give you some better ideas for protein

you look awesome! dont let haters get you down! maybe focus on building more muscle now since you don't need to lose weight?

Idk if anyone said this but the girl you want to look like also goes tanning probably a lot to get it that even. It would be a good idea to hide the stretch marks probably

is anyone else super ready for a new doctor? I know some fans have an obsession with Matt Smith but I'm really looking forward to someone new :]

Dang that's rough. I don't have anything diagnosed, but I get pretty weird about being outside sometimes. I live in the city which I like for the most part. Sometimes on the subway I start to get overwhelmed if there are too many people or if there are a lot of people looking at me. I HATE going to the gym so I do my…

I'm doing so bad with alcohol! I try not to drink any and have limited it to the weekends, but it's so hard. And I don't know how to make new friends without going out to bars and dancing like I used to do :(

Women are evil! Every time I tell my mom I'm trying to lose weight almost immediately she purchases cupcakes or ice cream, which she NEVER usually buys since she doesn't like sweets and I have a massive sweet tooth I'm trying to get under control.

12 pounds is awesome!!! Don't beat yourself up!!! Personally I think the hardest part of losing weight is the psychological aspect like feeling you don't deserve to look good. Your brain is lying to you! Seriously your brain wants to avoid getting hurt so it programs itself to avoid things that seem difficult, you just…

Thanks so much! Yeah I think I need to have a sit down dinner at like 6 or 7 and then stop for the night. I usually wind up eating dinner/lunch around 3 and then try not to eat dinner and then get too hungry at like 10. Also the brushing teeth and mouthwash idea sounds like a good plan. will try it out tonight!

OK thanks everyone!!
