  • I am 5'3. My goal was 150, but Im 156 right now, and seeing i have more to go still, so I am thinking of aiming for 135, but my body is pretty muscular, and I'm also very large chested, so I have doubts that even that may be too low. 145 I think is going to be the realistic goal, 135 is the "skinny" goal lol my weight…
  • The BCP I was on, I regularly missed my period. And that light spotting you got the first day, I had the same problem! My dr. explained it to me that when on the pill its not a real "period" so just a fleck of pink on the tissue could be considered a "period" take a test to ease your mind, but I was on the pill for 2 years…
  • Drinking soda can make you thirstier after because it has added sodium to it, to make you thirsty so you drink another can!! (No joke, check the label...lol)
  • Actually, it has nothing to do with the acid. IT is very well documented that artificial sweeteners make you crave more calories!!! I used to have such a huge problem binge eating and was considering seeing a therpaist to determine if I had an eating disorder because I genuinely felt out of control. I could inhale 2000…
  • IF your old enough it sounds like its time for you to leave the nest, whether your family does or not!! Sounds like these people are not very nice and if you think about it, are they the reason that you are overweight to begin with? Anyone who condescends you for bettering yourself does not deserve any of your time or…
  • Maybe yours is more severe so this may be different but just some advice: I have the same thing, but I eat fruit anyway. After about a year, the allergy has seem to improved. Certain fruits are worse than others, but I rarely get blisters from fruits anymore as long as they are really ripe when I eat them. Under ripe at…
  • I do if it isn't really ripe. my lips will blister a bit, throat and tongue get itchy, heartburn.... if it doesn't have brown spots on it, it bothers me lol
  • Btw, in addition to my other comment, I'm also in the same group as you. 21, started at 188, now 159
  • Yes, it can hinder your weight loss depending on how your body handles it. For instance, I was an extreme coffee addict, and the way I prepared it was 1 splenda packet and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk. 30 calories for my cup Doesn't seem like much right? Till I started suspecting it was causing an issue with my weight…
  • Alcohol is a triple whammy for weight loss. To be honest, its not just about the actual amount of calories in the alcohol. 2 things: It slows down your metabolism for several hours after drinking, so whatever calories you get from the alcohol, your also burning much less than your body normally would. Second, the way your…
  • I've been working on the same thing! I have class from 8-4 with only 20 minute breaks inbetween each one, so I don't even have time for lunch! I try to make a really big breakfast with lots of protein and variety to keep me going for awhile (bfast is at 6am!) and then for snacks I bring snack baggies of wheat thins or…
  • Look up patelofemoral knee pain. If you haven't had an actual injury than this could be the problem. I was same height/weight and started jogging, only to land in an orthopedics office who said its actually fairly common in young women when they become fit and hips fill out, it puts uneven strain on your knee joint and the…
