Thanks..now do you mind answering the question? I'm aware that weight loss will resolve that but I've been weight training and I don't see a difference.

Bump.

See I thought that was considered "talking." I dunno >.< I'm sorry I'm being so difficult.

Well I know I don't love my boyfriend. We haven't even been dating for a month.

Thanks everyone! I'm seeing my bf today so he and I are gonna have to have a talk. My best friend DOES want to settle down and honestly, I'm 19 and I'm tired of "dating" too. But I'm also in college, haha so I dunno if I can settle just yet. Thank you for all your advice.

What's the supposed to mean?

That wasn't the advice I was going for but uh..thanks? I seriously am in a pickle /: In simple terms: I'm in a relationship with a guy I like very much, my best friend likes me and while I have feelings for him, I like my boyfriend. My best friend doesn't know I'm in a relationship.

No, I didn't see it. I guess it doesn't really matter. Though is it a bad idea to eat a carbohydrate before cardio?

See something I read said a 20% increase in fat burn

Alright, thanks everyone. I've managed to maintain a deficit (I finally invested in a food scale, though I can't bring it in the dining hall. Well, I could but I look stupid. So I use it to weigh my snacks). But I also take a week off from tracking and eat what I feel like and attempted to hit a deficit that way. It's been…

Thank you (:

Thank you! When I realized I had hit 191, I ignored my calories for 2 weeks. i just didn't count and ate what I wanted and noticed a 6lb loss (from 197 to 191). I have to go on a serious cut now but I've started doing more cardio. (: Strict strict diet. Blech.

Thank you! :D

Lol I guess the Polar is the winner! Thanks guys (:

God I didn't expect this much feedback. Thank you everyone. As for setting incremental goals, I'm not gonna strive for a size/weight right now. I am gonna try a fitness goal. I think I'm gonna strive to do 30-60 minutes of cardio a day because I always bail on cardio because I'm "too tired" and want to quit when I know I…

That is actually a really good idea. I want to do the Warrior Dash next year..

Thank you all very much. When I first started school, I lost 10lbs (which was a month ago) and gained 5 back. I'll look back and see what I did at the beginning of the semester <3 Thanks so much

Thank you. Last question: How do you push past the mental barrier that tells you that you "can't?" I know that it seems like a simple concept, but I keep getting held back because I can't break through mentally..

What do you mean?

Okay that sounds good (: And if I lose more I'll be pleasantly surprised, I suppose. Thanks everyone c:

So I should probably adjust what I have now then because it's set to lose 2lbs a week?

Wow, thanks so much! I mean I had my own lifting routine but I can definitely change it. Thank you (:

@VegasBaby- I do strength train. I lift 3x a week, but I've been sick for the past 3 weeks so my lifting has been minimal. I've lost 10 pounds since being here at college and I'm gonna stop smoking (yay). I log diligently. The ONLY exception I've had was on Sunday or Saturday of this weekend. Otherwise, I log well. I'm…

Thanks to both of you (: I guess if I can't run or row, I can draw. I love to draw. And I'll definitely look into breathing exercises

Bump?

Thanks everyone <3

Yeah this sports bra in the picture makes everything look awkward. Thanks so much

c: I'm glad I inspired you

Thanks everyone c: Question though: If I get down to 170, do you think I'd have gotten rid of most of the back fat/love handles?

Oh I predominantly weight train. I just have the color run 5k next month. After my 16 minutes today, everything was burning and I was hot as hell. I thought I was dying. I'm going to college and I'm not sure if we have a row machine (I could never figure out how to use it anyway, lol) I can start once a week. I guess today…
