i just bought it today, so i'll be starting it soon! also, my parents just told me that we're going to puerto vallarta for spring break this year, which means i need to get cookin' if i want that hot beach bod haha!

Welcome!!! I'll add you, we can support each other the whole way :) just remember that every person is here for the same reason and we'll miss you (and get notifications haha) if you don't log in for a few days. Good luck love!!

i've have the BEST straightener, it's by conair and its a black outside with red panels on the inside. i don't use it on the wet setting because my hair is super thick and all but explodes haha but it works for everyone else i know that has it. it was really cheap too i think around $30 and i've had it for a while now

considering i'm 19, i'm fortunate enough to not have to watch every little thing, but i've just learned more portion control than anything. i know myself well enough to understand that if i'm completely deprived of the things i love (bread, pasta, etc) then i'm not going to succeed. soooo, if i decide to have some pasta…

oh my gosh!!!!! you look like a completely different person! you can definitely see it in your face. can't wait to post mine :)

i was in a similar position when i first started, then after about 2 weeks of sticking with it i lost 4 lbs! you really just have to keep at it and don't let the numbers on the scale define you. sometimes you don't lose pounds but you lose inches. also be sure you're drinking TONS of water, because you could have a lot of…

hey! i'm a sophomore in college too, and maybe its not so much dieting that you need, but balancing out what you're eating. i go for convenience too, but i've recently started cooking more since i have my own kitchen in my dorm room. try going to the grocery store and picking up some prepackaged meals like lean cuisines,…

muscle is actually more dense than fat (common misconception is that its heavier than fat), but yeah, muscle weighs more because of the density

I have wonderful memories with that song. My friends and I at school, whenever we have an issue or one of us is kind of feeling down in the dumps, we "dance it out" (similar to Grey's Anatomy) and we ALWAYS put on Faded. LOVE IT haha

hahaha awesome! whenever i'm running on the treadmill and i hear glee, i just pretend like i'm running towards cory monteith. then i remember i'm on a stationary object and kinda have the rat-on-the-wheel feeling where you're running but going nowhere haha. and "september" just always makes me want to get up and dance.

I depends for me too on the exercise I'm doing. Running-wise, it's almost always upbeat music, plus classic rock stuff (with a little Glee thrown in haha). Actually I lied. It's random and whatever I feel like listening to :-) Edge of Seventeen - Stevie NIcks If I Had You - Adam Lambert Take On Me - A-Ha Telephone - Lady…

i'm buying myself either a MARC by marc jacobs purse or something from bcbg. i'm splurging haha :-) as far as clothing goes, i'm thinking a hip hugging, mega-hot dress haha!

hey john! I'm 19 and I started this about a week ago. as far as starting, the first step is always the hardest and you've already conquered it by joining MFP. i would say just take it one day at a time and never give up on yourself. don't think of it as a "fat" or "skinny" thing, think of it as "healthy" or "unhealthy". if…

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. The picture does make me look skinny, but I'm around 180 right now, and I should be about 140 in order to be a healthy size for my height. I carry it all around the middle. Thanks for the advice :-)

I just kind of looked through the diary myself and maybe I'm not eating enough fruits and veggies....it's just so frustrating because my mom really wants me to do this, but I've got friends who say I look great and don't need to lose anything. It's just so hard because I almost wish my friends would just say "If this is…

Hi Tina! Although I'm a lot younger than you (I'm 19), I'm in a similar position. I've had knee and joint pain for about 3 years now, and I don't want it to turn into a situation where I would need surgery (which almost happened a year ago). Plus, I can definitely appreciate you doing it as a mom. My mom is losing weight…
